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. ]

So you're looking for references from more than one place. Fact vs. fiction. Surely someone fictional really existed somewhere else.

A fellow I know to be thoroughly real in my own world appears to be thoroughly fictional in others--multiple others. It's... it's just such a large discrepancy! I don't know what to make of it, not yet at any rate.

[A shrug.]
If you don't mind me saying this, you're better off just saying "it's complicated" and move along. You'll probably find another problem just after you think you solved another one.

[ And it's not like any of them can simply leave, after all. ]
...How do normal people address boredom? [ Is there a secret to this normalcy thing, some trick he never picked up on. ]
