Forgive this (stupid) question, but what exactly is role-playing in the agencies? I've seen it mentioned several times. (I know, I know, Sleuth is an RPG, but still...) Do you interact with each other as the detective you've created, complete with your own *interesting* personality? Do you get sent to the broom closet if you break character? :) Just curious...

Now Now Reese, please do not mess up the offices while I am out of town. Or at least please clean everything up before I get back from this hunt.


Yes yes, I know, I am moving along, chasing, hunting searching....

Mistress X is a task master you know.

See folks, this is what happens when you team up with guys..it is all fun and games until someone gets whiped.

Oh well, at least, *one* of my team-mates is *actually* hunting...

*cracks whip*

I hope that you are referring to Ran as I may be hunting but I'm not getting very far yet. Good thing I've got this nice thick coat so that whip doesn't sting.

(Leaves note for Director Peterson)

Director Peterson,

While checking an alibi, I asked the Barber about our elusive Mr. yoyo. Mr. Bharat Patel claims that yoyo did not keep his appointment today. I'm not sure I believe him, he was rather unwilling to answer a lot of my questions.

I also checked with the Missionary but he's clammed up. (He was also very rude about it which was uncalled for and rather unseemly for a man of faith.)

I even waited at the bar for him tonight thinking he might show after I left him a note inviting him to join me for a drink. He didn't. I get the impression he has been gone for a bit. His piano is out of tune.

I'll make the rounds again tomorrow morning and see what I can turn up. He's pretty smart so I think he would be able to get out of any jam with ease. Let's hope he turns up soon so, at least, he can get his piano tuned.

Officer Grant

Dear Barry Grant,

First and foremost I would like to welcome you back to The Shire. I checked out my piano and it is off. A repair man will be coming tommorow to fix it. I've been a little short on time lately but the problem should dissappear for the next two weeks.

I did confess my sins yesterday but the sins in question should not be posted here:P ( Who says very smart people aren't charmers) But looking good is a key part of this sin that's why I was with the barber for so long. And I'll tell the missionary to be nicer too.
I was around in the early morning but the streets of Delhi are riddled with criminals and someone needs to get an early start on them. I believe the saying goes 'The early bird gets the worm'.

Good to have you back and yes you are right this place is covered in a layer of dust. I do beleive it is time for a new cleaning lady.

Yoyo

I don't need any pants. It is a full length coat. Plus I'm felxible enough to squeeze my whole body into it. See watch....

*gets stuck and won't be able to do any villain hunting today*

Reads Barry's telegram. Hmmm, maybe I wont TP his office now, she thinks.

Leaves a note for Ran,

Boss, If I TP an office, the idea is for the other to see it. Why would I clean it up, after doing it? You better watch it...you may find YOUR office TP'd.

Reese smiles, knowing she wouldn't really do that. Or would she?

Sends telegram to Barry
