[k] @Moriarty There's no way to film the story we originally envisioned without a scene where Salazar reveals his true identity and motive.

[k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 4] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Tristan What should we do about the last half of the scene,[sr]where he turns into a vengeful spirit?

[k] [charaFace B 0] @Moriarty We already filmed the scene with Salazar and Vargas going to look for medicine in the storehouse. [k] @Moriarty With two people going in, and only one coming out, it would only stand to reason that Vargas killed Salazar. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 5] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Ozymandias What was that? [wt 0.7][charaFace A 4][sr]Well, technically, I suppose Vargas did kill him... [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Moriarty We could always just leave that scene out,[sr]of course...but that presents us with other problems. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 12] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Mash Right. It would be very strange for Salazar to suddenly turn up dead or just disappear from the film. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Moriarty However, we do have a scene where Salazar[sr]and Vargas hit each other at the same time. [k] @Moriarty If we made it so that Salazar inflicts a fatal wound on Vargas, and Vargas summons up the last of his strength to take Salazar down with him, resulting in both of their deaths... [k] @Moriarty ...I think that may give us the most options for continuing the story naturally. How does that sound? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 1] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Ozymandias ...Interesting. So my choices are to become the villain, or to exit the movie for good! [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 4] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Tristan Hmm. This IS a pickle.

[k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Moriarty Unfortunately, there's no time for any reshoots.[sr]We'll simply have to use the footage we already have. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 12] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Mash Right. Murasaki doesn't seem likely to wake up anytime soon, and our top priority is to finish the movie, so... [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 4] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Ozymandias Hmm. I never even considered that[sr]my role might end like this.

[k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Moriarty Besides, Isidoro and Adriana haven't been getting enough screen time anyway. [k] @Moriarty Examining the crime scene should[sr]be a perfect opportunity for them. [k] @Moriarty We should be able to fake Salazar's corpse with a mannequin and a leftover outfit from the dressing room. [k] [charaFace B 1] @Moriarty Oh, as for Vargas, you can simply lay on the floor and pretend to be dead, Pharaoh. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 7] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Ozymandias To think my final scene would involve my playing a dead body...[wt 1.2][charaFace A 2][sr]Hehe, hehahahahaha!

[k] @Moriarty We can save the reason that Salazar[sr]turned on Vargas for the conclusion. [k] [charaFace B 2] @Moriarty At worst, we can always chalk it up to somehow being the true culprit's doing. [k] ?1:Easy for you to say! Your character's dead! ?! [charaFace B 1] @Moriarty Hehehe.

There's something that's[sr]been nagging at me for a while now. [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaDepth G 10] [charaTalk H] [charaFace H 0] [charaFace G 0] [charaFadein H 0.1 2] [charaFadein G 0.1 0] @Holmes And what might that be? [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_2 0.7] @Andersen Instead of going to Hokusai about the painting...wouldn't it have been better to start by asking Moriarty? [k] [charaFace H 6] [bgm BGM_EVENT_81 0.1] @Holmes I beg your pardon? [k] @Andersen Like you said yourself, Murasaki's condition[sr]was an unfortunate accident. [k] @Andersen So since Moriarty didn't do anything wrong this time, you could just as easily have asked him, since he had to have been there too. [k] @Andersen I know you two are mortal enemies and everything, but in this specific instance, I don't think he has anything to hide. [k] [charaFace H 0] @Holmes Were that the case, he should have brought up the portrait before we thought to investigate it. [k] @Andersen True, if he wanted filming to go smoothly, he should have mentioned the portrait being redone the first chance he got. [k] [charaFace H 5] @Holmes I don't care for the way he holds onto information while snidely waiting to see what the rest of us do without it. [k] @Holmes Even if I called him out on it, he'd just claim it slipped his mind, and that would be that. [k] @Andersen I get how you feel, Holmes, but that still[sr]doesn't explain why you didn't ask him. [k] [charaFace H 0] @Holmes Fair enough. I don't know if this[sr]will convince you, but here it is. [k] @Holmes I am a detective, so I believe I have an obligation[sr]to solve any mystery I come across. [k] @Andersen Don't know where that came from, but okay. I doubt there's any mystery you couldn't solve, but never mind that. [k] @Holmes However, there's a phase that takes place while learning about the mystery I'm about to solve. [k] @Holmes A phase where I examine all facts closely, free of preconceptions, and try to notice anything that seems out of place. [k] @Holmes In meticulously questioning everything, the relevant facts come to light, and the mystery reveals itself. [k] [charaFace G 0] @Andersen Hmm. So you're saying your approach revolves around[sr]careful examination and questioning what you observe. [k] @Holmes Right. But on the flip side, it also means that one cannot engage with a case without such examination and attendant suspicion. [k] @Holmes And when it comes to preventing a detective from seeing matters clearly, and therefore suspecting them, there is no criminal more devious than James Moriarty. [k] [charaFace G 5] @Andersen Wait, really? How does that work when him just being around makes anyone naturally suspicious? [k] [charaFace H 4] @Holmes There is such a thing as being too suspicious, you see. It makes it difficult to determine how much one should suspect other things... [k] @Holmes ...ultimately making it impossible to[sr]focus on the proper issues in a case. [k] [charaFace H 0] @Holmes I'm certain the whole reason he was able to rule the underworld for so long is because he made sure to never be anywhere that would arouse suspicion. [k] @Holmes In nineteenth-century London, he would dispense his criminal schemes to others while erasing all trace of his presence from their surroundings. [k] @Holmes He ruled his network like a spider waiting in the middle of its web, all while remaining completely out of sight. [k] @Holmes If nothing else, it was an impressive feat. It even took me some time to be certain my suspicions were correct. [k] [charaFace H 4] @Holmes ...Not to mention a painful sacrifice. [k] @Andersen His presence was really that invisible, huh? [k] [messageOff] [charaFadeout H 0.1] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk H] [charaFace H 8] [charaFadein H 0.1 1] [wt 1.0] [charaFace H 0] @Holmes ...It would be easy to interrogate him now, but in doing so, I would also be showing my hand as to my own method of thinking and questioning. [k] @Holmes Given that there's no telling when he and I might be on opposing sides again, I'd prefer to give him as few opportunities as possible to learn how I think. [k] @Holmes So if I'm going to investigate a case he's involved in, my only choice is to discover the core mystery while remaining as hands-off as I can. [k] [charaFadeout H 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 0] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Andersen (So he doesn't want Moriarty to learn how[sr]he thinks, huh. Or maybe not just Moriarty...) [k] [charaFace G 1] @Andersen Ah, never mind. Basically, you're saying it is your examination and suspicion that lets you see a mystery before you, and if you have neither, there is no mystery, hm? [k] @Andersen So we have arguably the world's greatest detective, and the Napoleon of crime... Talk about a complicated relationship.
