Entry tags:
tell him about Holmes-Lore
Who: Basil and whoever, perhaps you?
What: researching some fictional detective or other
Where: Progress City Library
When: throughout June
Warnings: n/a, will update if needed
[ Ever since Plankton got himself kicked out of office, Basil's been spending a lot of time at the city library. Basil seems to be doing research--in the fiction section of all things.
Sometimes he can be found reading through a human-sized book that's ended up on the floor somehow. He has to walk across the pages to read them fully, but he's fairly adept at turning them despite the scale issues. Other times he can be found climbing up and down the shelves, looking for a new one--if you're tall enough to reach the one he wants, he might ask for assistance getting it down. Or maybe you're really unlucky and he's decided to shove the thing off the shelf on his own--look out below!
Taking a closer look at any of his selected books might notice a theme.
...Yeah, they're all about Sherlock Holmes. ]

Mike is completely distracted by the fact there's a tiny mouse in a little Victorian outfit.]
Oh my god, someone dressed up a mouse in a cute little British outfit. It's like that episode of Star Trek where Data and Geordi act out that one detective guy in the holodeck.

Yknow what, fine. He gets this from sober humans, "drunk out of your mind" is at least AN excuse, nevermind its quality. ]
Mhm. That would be my own doing. [ Lets just. ignore that long string of gibberish at the end there. ] Are you merely still drunk, or did you manage to get into something stronger?
[ Sniffing the air, does the human smell like liquor? ]

Nooooo. That's just the result of years of rotting my brain on pop culture.

[ That other thing is clearly some alien drug he's unfamiliar with. He's not sure if he cares enough to investigate further, so a pause as he weighs the options of "ignore the derelict and leave with the book" vs "temporary switch focus to the derelict". ]

[Mike is assuming he's never heard of WWII so he's taking every liberty with that.]
