Be good. For the love of God, be good...
Keeping an eye on Kat in her high school days while the Professor is away can either be a good time, or a chaotic time, but always entertaining. Clive makes sure to give his two cents on the matter via his usual sweet notes.
Special comm for @honey-0tu, thank you for the support~!

WELCOME TO THE ORPHEUS DETECTIVE AGENCY
This is an ask blog for the idv characters that are apart of the Orpheus Detective Agency. Mainly Mr.Inference, Lady Truth, and White. You can also ask questions to Paranormal Investigator but he won't be my focus.
This blog will be filled with a lot of headcanons, so please do not take everything I post at face value and consider it canon. You're free to ask me for clarification on something if needed.
I am associated with @ask-the-silent-rebel and @ask-mr-melodis, the artist is my friend so we will be vibing together.
Status: Inbox is OPEN
(just might be a little slow due to irl things rn)

AUTHOR EXTRAORDINAIRE
'Serial novels have an unexpected effect; they hook the writer as well as the reader.'
'Any author of fiction will tell you that characters don't need to be told what to do.'
'Many of my books are written from a female perspective. I rather enjoy the take that women have on the world, and certainly I enjoy the conversations that women have.'
'As a writer I've learned certain lessons. One of them is to be careful about how you put a view, and to bear in mind how easily and readily you'll be misinterpreted.'
'As a writer, you have to realize that people want to like the characters, so you have to be careful to keep them involved.'
Author Extraordinaire Alexander McCall Smith

I love the idea of Watson's girl bestie/mutual convenience/in on the deal/lavender marriage Mary, and the concept of her teaming up to offer the much-needed Woman's Perspective to the whole consulting detective business delights me greatly.

I’ve been replaying Millionaire’s Conspiracy, and can we talk about case 6 for a second? You know, when the general manager of the bank conspired to commit insurance fraud for a sum of 100 million pounds? IN FRONT OF SCOTLAND YARD? AND NOBODY CARED? Yeah, that was quintessential Layton right there. 10/10, no critiques.

One Dress a Day - bonus challenges
Multicoloured August
The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency - Precious Ramotswe (Jill Scott)
Precious wears a lot of traditional Zimbabwean garments in some amazing fabrics. I’ve always liked this brown and teal dress, but I had to include this green and blue number as well! The cut is very simple, but they look very cool to wear, and they’re so pretty.
