I assume they were giving me a bit of a 'grace period.'

Either way, he actually almost got away with quite a bit of my emergency money and knives - the worst of all, I think, was the theft of my molasses candy!

[improbablenotimpossible]

Likely, or you just flew under their radar - and huh, I didn't realize they still sell those kinds of candy.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

I am accomplished in flying under the radar - you should know that most of all, Holmes.

[YOU KNOW.

CONSIDERING THEIR HISTORY.]

Actually, I made them myself. They're not that difficult to make once you understand how, after all.

[improbablenotimpossible]

Frustratingly so.

[It took years for him to get even close to the pulsating heart of the criminal underworld, and two more to force the man's hand]

It shouldn't be too different from making taffy I would think. You know, I don't think I ever had one before - you know.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

Holmes, if you just want me to eat a piece when you're nearby, then just ask outright.

[improbablenotimpossible]

Good lord, it was just an offhand comment, Moriarty. Not every reference I make to food is a longing for it.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

What? Afraid I'll think you a glutton? Please - I can understand wanting to indulge in a sense you once thought gone.

[improbablenotimpossible]

It's not that. Though I suppose it wouldn't be too much to ask you if something does catch my eye. Pity Saloop has fallen out of use outside of a few regions in the near east.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

Honestly, if you want Saloop, it's incredibly simple to make. They mostly use cornstarch now instead of orchid tubers, however. I could make it, but I was never a large fan of it. I preferred bread pudding, personally.

Though I will also tell you that I will not eat things like Sashimi, so don't bother requesting it.

[improbablenotimpossible]

Fair enough, bad experience with raw fish I presume. I will confess I am curious as if I would still detest jellied eels as much if I could taste them again.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

I am never putting a jellied eel in my mouth again for as long as I exist, so you'll have to remain curious forevermore.

And you'd be correct. I've tried it before, of course - I was in Japan for a bit - but, well, the associated memories made it impossible to stomach.

[improbablenotimpossible]

Ha. They are disgusting things, with such a horrid texture.

I spent some time in Japan post-war, it was an interesting time.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

Hm, yes.

Ah, that reminds me. Did you know we're apparently immune to radiation? At least, I never suffered any of the sickness associated with visiting highly radiated areas.

[improbablenotimpossible]

[He's not even surprised at this point]

I suppose that is useful to know if there's a repeat of Australia happening.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

Ah yes - that test site explosion, though I assume it wasn't a test site at all if you're bringing it up.

[improbablenotimpossible]

Remember that Lich I mentioned? they dropped a bomb to try to kill him.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

Of course they did. And I suppose it didn't work?

[improbablenotimpossible]

It did, because we destroyed it's phylactery, but it left a permanent area of darkness in that area and a rift to the outlands.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

I see. An idiotic decision, especially once you had already destroyed it's core, so to speak. Still, I expected nothing less.

[improbablenotimpossible]

Unfortunately, the UN did not take the entire thing seriously until they lost several men and then overcorrected

[hatesdeerstalkers]

And government incompetence is the same no matter the era.

Have they at least agreed for Daybreak to handle the matter if and when it arises again?

[improbablenotimpossible]

Thankfully they were not that that stubborn.
