Best seats in the house.

Sticking to just one update a week on Tuesdays for a little while as I get my head together, shouldn't be too long. 

Cast: Lei Feng, Pemberton Pryce, Verity Cunningham

    I get low-key Watson-Sherlock vibes from this duo...

      The second I read your comment I thought of Neil Gaiman's short story A Study in Emerald. I won't say much so as to not spoil it, but it's Cthulhu mythos in the Holmes Victorian England, and I highly recommend it. The pair here fit right in. Corrected a word

        Interesting read! Captured Doyle's characters really well.

      Isn't Verity more of a high-key version of Holmes though? :p

    I see Pryce has his goons along after all - dining in the first-class section with him, no less. I suppose in his line of work you'd want your muscle close by at all times.

    Every seat is reserved for Vee because she is just that important!

    An introduction is hardly necessary. Who hasn't heard of the world-famous Verity Cunningham, the Greatest Hunter in the World?!

    Take your time, please. We can wait.

    Pryce bailed his muscle out. I can't help but find him a bit more likable for that.

      Muscleman can't flip on Pryce if he's not in Widdershins to do it...

    Inverse relationships between politeness and competence, these two.

    I wonder what the woman (girl?) is writing. Ooh, maybe they're his kids! That'd be a nice complication. [EDIT] Woman: she has a glass of wine. But the other woman/girl has a water tumbler, and gives me the 'teen' vibe.

      Huh, I hadn't thought about Pryce having a family. I hope we do get to find out who those two women are.

      Is it the fact that she's been fiddling nervously with her silverware? Everyone else's is set primly by their place, hers is crooked. Top marks to Ms. Ashwin for these little details!

    Verity probably thinks she's Sherlock Holmes in a dress.

    • JWLM 5 years ago archived

      I wonder if Holmes will exist in this universe.

    Never met someone so rude? Don't worry! Verity will make sure you're well acquainted with the practice!
