[CONTINUE + 2] Week 1 || Act: mingle

[foundationmods]

Monday comes onto the snowy town once more, though it still looks as if it's 'night' as ever.

Then again, you are underground. That's just to be expected, considering no natural light can get down here in the first place. The Monsters around you are just as friendly as ever, despite this being your third 'time' trying this monday.

There doesn't seem to be many Monsters here...or at least, you think there was more before? Huh.

Well, whatever.

You still have a mission - And with two trials under your belt, you're now a little closer to figuring things out.

...How much longer will this repeat?

[He can't fault a messy room, while he's been tidier thanks to having a boyfriend that wouldn't tolerate it, he understands.

Though the pine-y smell did get a slight raise of the brow]

I understand, and I'll stand for the moment, you probably have everything more or less where you'd prefer them.

Well, I can't fault you for following how the Author tends to leave my deductions as a surprise, though readers unfamiliar with the manner would find complaint.

But - I do like it, it feels like reading one of his little tin box stories.

Hehehe. You are the audience. I am the author. Faulting me for whatever you like is your right.

[There's irony there, but she's serious.]

See? That's why I don't ever usually write these kinds of stories. It's the problem of a public domain character. If you just borrow the character and place him in your own personal setting without any regard for the origin, it feels like taking an ocean fish and throwing it in a lake. If you take the character and tailor the story's style and setting to match, you risk one or two things. You risk being judged as simply "imitating the original author." Or you risk the dreaded "the story is merely an empty exercise in style," criticism. That said, I did make an effort to make it pass as... Victorian-lite, shall we say.

Of course it's natural you like it; I wrote it, after all. More than that... I'm concerned about the relationships. Did the characters "feel" like Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson?
