bakerstreet | texts from a previous evening.

1. We power houred with shots of red wine. Somehow we ended up with 7 bottles and lost Barry. Trying to find him this hungover is proving very unsuccessful.

2. I doubt the gods of funday Sunday would exact such a high price... But it's good to know an afternoon with me is worth a left foot.

3. yeah the cops just showed up and they got there ass handed to them at beer pong.

4. [text her!]

Impressive that you've bothered to look. My head is so sore

to be fair, the only place i actually looked was under the couch. and that was cause i was on the floor next to it and couldn't get up again.

but. you know. i tried my hardest and i think that's great.

its all anybody can ask for in these trying times.

how're you doing? I think i'm still a bit drunk

we thought the big H was bad, but really? our greater foe was def the hangover from hell.

same same. but that might be the hair of the dog that turned into half a bottle i had an twenty mins ago. care to share, my man?

well yeah, that's two hs

ughhh I dunno. what's the logic behind this move anyway? If we drink more it might cancel everything out?

double H's. holy shit. we should have known all along. twice as many H

And I mean, yeah. thats how it works, right? cause i gotta say, I'm chasing my bliss right now and you could be to if you come back to the floor with me and drink up

may I be so bold as to suggest too MUCH h? bit off more h than we could chew

I ...don't think thats how it works. but i'll come. misery loves company, right

you make it sound like one hell of brand of gum. Double H--Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun.

hell yeah! mid-morning drinking binge! we'll can send out a search party for the nerd, later. right now we need to get hella trashed

Point taken but i don't know about double the pleasure since we juuuust established that it has doubled the... opposite of that

Oh boy. why do i feel like I"ve let you talk me into something i may regret later?

Double Your Torment then. not nearly as snazzy sounding but I guess fitting for our pain.

and come ooooon Luc. i know you've been working way too hard. you gotta get your face out of your books and look up every now and then or you'll miss life flashing by! a life that includes fun with cha girl!

Also a great name for a rock band... lemme jot that one down

Don't whine so much, i'm coming! I said I was coming. im just having trouble transitioning from being face down in bed to being upright, so gimme a sec

shit, let me get in on that action. we'd kind of kill it together, huh?

and hurry up or I'm bringing the bottles to you!

you would kill it. I can't play an instrument

shhh, two mins

(She appears in the doorway in around about the advertised time, but it's pretty clear it was a bit of an effort to make it down the hall. She has a bad headache.)

This had better be some drink you've got, (is all she says, shuffling into Lup's quarters like a zombie.) Budge up.

guess that means you're stuck with singing, huh?

[and then it's just complete silence on her end while she waits for Lucretia to join her in her room. When the other woman finally arrives, Lup is perched on the edge of her bed instead of the floor, grinning far too wide for someone with as awful a hangover as she claimed to have. But the red wine bottle in hand could have a little something to do with that.]

Hell yeah, you made it! Not that I doubted or anything, but, y'know. [she shrugs, clearly not all too sure what she's saying] S'rad you came, that's all. Gotta put the 'girls only' sign up on my door and keep the boys out.

Ughhh, (is all she says, flopping gratefully down onto Lup's bed face down. That's enough movement for one day. Eventually her head stops pounding quite so much and she rolls over onto her side, curling up, pulling one of Lup's pillows underneath of her head.)

Good. Don't let them in here, they're always so loud. (That, and she doesn't for a second want any of them to see her like this. With Lup, it's okay, because it's Lup.)

I don't sing, by the way. Merle will have to be your lead vocals. What are you drinking?

You don't have to tell me twice, [Lup turns to face Lucretia, sitting with her legs crossed while still in her pajama bottoms and tank top, hair in a rumpled nest around her shoulders.] Love 'em all, but I do not need Magnus' enthusiastic voice ringing in my ear this early.

[without even needing to be asked, Lup is already thrusting the bottle towards Lucretia, giving her first dibs.] I found another bottle of red we missed last night. Sorry, didn't think to grab glasses, so it's straight outta the bottle or bust. And everyone sings. Besides, we can't be a kickass all-girl rock group with an old Cleric sitting as the lead.

I AM the world's greatest detective, ma'am, I'm sure I can help you find him if we retrace your steps! Where did you last see him?

ok two points. one, your text is too loud. tone it down a little, pls and thx.

two, alright you may actually be onto something, retracing last steps and all. have you ever found a missing person before, kid?

oh!! I'm sorry, I didn't know how to italicize the text, but I can definitely see how capital letters come off as shouty!

And yes, I've found a couple! I've been doing this detective thing for a while, ma'am.

you don't charge for your services, do you? cause i'd rather he just, you know, stay lost than have to pay a finding fee.

I already have a job that pays pretty well, so I guess this would be moonlighting, technically. No pun intended. Anyway, this one's a freebie!

free is a very good price for me. count me in! SO what deets do you need? do we have to drag out clothing of his for you to smell so you can follow the scent or something?

Ma'am

Ma'am, I'm a little boy, not a bloodhound, you know that right??

If we're lucky he'll have left behind some footprints or somebody will have seen them

you take things a little too literally, huh? that was deffo a joke, kid. dogs don't have thumbs to text

[yet. but one sweet day...]

okay okay, so we're looking for some nerd-shaped footprints or asking around for clues? seems easy enough so far
