Fifth Deduction [Voice]

Tomorrow is May 4, isn't it?  I feel like there is something about that date I should be remembering. 

Something important.

....This is frustrating!  What is it?

Spring fever?

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

No, that isn't it. Its something about the date. I know that much.

[fierybluebird]

Parent's birthday?

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

I never remember that.

[fierybluebird]

One of those types, eh.

What do you normally do back in your world?

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

Birthdays aren't important.

I go to school.

[fierybluebird]

You're just a bundle of fun, aren't you kid?

Maybe it's a school thing?

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

They're boring. And annoying. everyone making a fuss over something that doesn't matter.

I doubt that. It feels like something more personal than that.

[fierybluebird]

It matters to them.

Well, what things are important to you?

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

I've never seen the point.

[Conan thinks about that, and his expression suddenly lights up.]

Holmes fell down Reichenbach Falls on May 4 in 1891.

[fierybluebird]

Holmes??

... Huh, I don't think I'll ever get used to hearing about worlds that are hundreds of years into the future of mine.

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

Sherlock Holmes!

[fierybluebird]

Who's that?

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

The best detective. He was always cool and calm in every situation. Just from his observations he could tell everything about a person. And his logic was brilliant! There was no case he couldn't solve,

[fierybluebird]

Oh? Sounds like Garp the Fist. Only without the punching... and actual logic.

So what happened to him on May 4th?

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

He met his enemy Moriarty at Reichenbach Falls. And they fell. It was all in the Adventure of the Final Problem.

Hmm...I'm not very good with dates. I have to write everything down--I get lots of practice because the Professor isn't good with commemorative dates either. I have to keep track of all sorts of birthdays and anniversaries and holidays for him.

I don't think May 4th is any sort of holiday that I can think of, though..

[Conan puts his hand on his chin and starts thinking aloud.]

On May 4 in 1891 Sherlock Holmes fell with Moriarty from Reichenbach Falls. In Japan it is celebrated as Greenery Day and falls in the middle of Golden Week,

[fierybluebird]

I only understood enemy and "And they fell" out of all that.

Fell into what? From power or something?

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

They fell down the waterfall. Everyone thought they were both dead. But then Doyle brought Holmes back.

[fierybluebird]

A waterfall. Well that wouldn't really kill most people I'd think. Unless they were devil fruit users, eh.

Who's Doyle and how did he do that?

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

[You criticized a Sherlock Holmes novel. Conan is not impressed with you right now.]

...He's an author. Arthur Conan Doyle. He created Holmes.

[fierybluebird]

[That's okay Marco now thinks Conan is definitely a kid.]

So you're a fanboy. You can't remember your parents' birthdays, but you remember the day a fictional character didn't die.

[He pauses, clearly thinking as well.]

Ah. I didn't know that...

To be honest, though I really find Mr. Holmes very interesting I haven't read all of Mr. Doyle's books about him.

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

Why shouldn't I? Holmes is amazing.
