Merry Mysterious Christmas // Short Photostory

"Isn't the tree lovely, Em?" Molly sighed with satisfaction as she gazed at their tree in apartment 221 B Baker Street.

"Quite," affirmed her red-haired roommate, Emilie.

 Emilie wasn't as interested in the pretty tree as she was in the wrapped gift. 

There hadn't been many mysteries for a while, so she was trying to deduce what Molly had wrapped for her in that box.

"About four centemetres square, and a lid," she mused.

But after a ten-minute lecture from Molly about trying to deduce your gifts,

 Emilie agreed to help decorate the tree.

"Quite a lovely tree, Molly, my dear. Quite lovely indeed."

Than to Molly's surprise, Emilie wrapped her arms around her in a tight hug. "Merry Christmas, Lovey," she whispered into her ear. "Thank you so much. For everything. And the scarf in the box. I'm sure it's lovely."

Molly grunted softly, but hugged Emilie back. "Merry Christmas."

"Oh, by the way, did I tell you that I invited my little cousin from England to come live with us? Her name is Amy Watson. I hope you don't mind." 

Molly sighed. "No, not at all." But she smiled anyway.

I've Found Baskerville! Well, the Sherlock Version, Anyway

Note: If you are not a Sherlock fan, you will probably not understand this. If you are a Sherlock fan, you probably will.

But if you are not a Sherlockian, I have tried to search our Sherlock board to help you with the idea of Baskerville.

   The idea behind Sherlock's "The Hounds of Baskerville" was {of course} based off of Arthur Conan Doyle's, "The Hound of the Baskervilles". How do I know this? Research. And a rerun of an old Sherlock Holmes series about the Hound with Jeremy Brett.

This is probably the best shot of the moor I could find.

Here's another.

I know what you're probably thinking, "Wow, the Hounds of Baskerville? That's really jumping ahead of yourself, Willow!" and yeah, it is. I was just so excited when I found the perfect location for Baskerville, based of the Sherlock episode.

This photo was snapped by D I believe. This is supposed to be Sherlock {Emilie} atop of the rocks on the moor with Watson {Molly} looks at the map {unfortunately I forgot the map}.

"What's that?"

"That's Baskerville, Em."

I know this mostly doesn't look like a moor, but it's the best I've got. 

The second best is our backyard, and it doesn't look quite as cool.

Same rock Emilie was on, facing Baskerville's fence.

Same as above, but now facing the minefield.

Emilie's rock.

So now what? I will still do "A Study in Blue" first. Or at least the pilot first. But the Hound{s} of {the} Baskerville{s} could come next, because my doll room is not set up, but the Hounds story doesn't take place hardly in 221b Baker Street at all.

But I did have a fun idea for the storyline. In the original book, Watson did most of the investigating. So I thought that Emilie could break/sprain her ankle, and so Molly and Kit would have to do most/all of the fun stuff, though Emilie still tries to "poison" someone with the sugar and flash lights and noise at them in the secret lab. She could probably do that in a cast.

But then there's the Hound. I doubt I could spray-paint our little dog black. Don't tell my parents that even crossed my mind, kay? Thanks. But seriously, I'll just use a stuff animal. And hopefully it won't look too cheesy.

So what did you think of my Baskerville? Did it seem to work for you as the secret army base? Let me know!

A Study in Blue Idea // A "Pilot"

   So yesterday two days ago this morning I had a brilliant idea! Or at least I think it's brilliant.

   How about, before I do a fancy photostory for "A Study in Blue", I do a "pilot" episode.
 
   You know, doing a not-quite-the-real-thing photostory?

   With not-as-good-background/story/photography?
 
   See-how-people-will-like-it photostory?

   Well, I'll kind of have to anyway. My doll town is not set up yet. It may be a while, too.

   So meantime my doll are residing upstairs {and Kit, Emilie and Molly living on my dresser in my room} and I've set up measly ideas of what I think some of their houses should look like.

   It's a creative mess. I love those {don't you?}.

   Okay, back on track {stayin' alive!}. So the pilot photostory will most likely come into existence ..... maybe within the month {but don't quote me on it}.

   So gear up for some Sherlock-based fun! There will be the murder/suicide topic, but it can't really be helped.

   And I actually have a doll designated for Moriarty. He's an old Collector's Lane doll. Both D and I each had one {I gave one away}. And so we cut her hair and she is now a he and Moriarty {hey, that rhymed!}.

   And to tide you over, here's some shots I got of Emilie for "The Reichenbach Fall" idea.

I love how the lighting on both of these says "black and white" even though the photos are not b&w.

The Newest Additions

Here are the newest residents of Pleasanton!

Meet Molly

Meet Emilie

I sincerely hope to begin working on "A Study in Blue" soon, as a photostory.

 And then, someday, to work on a Doll Movie for it, a live-action voiced by D, me and maybe or friends.

Dreams dreams. By the way, do you like the new header? I did the yellow because of the smiley face on Sherlock's wall in "The Great Game" and the spray paint in "The Blind Banker".

 -Catch you later-

Note

Hey guys!

I just wanted to let you guys know that Emilie and Molly will be coming to join the Fellowship within the week {Lord willing}.

And that I'm probably going to redo that header {unless someone would be a dear and do it}. It looks a bit hard to read at the moment. And kinda cheesy.

I'm really excited about getting them, because now my stories can start!

We will also {probably} have a new camera by then, so lots of fun and beautiful photos will be poring into the blog.

By the way, I've already started writing "A Study in Blue" for this blog. It's based on Sherlock's "A Study in Pink" and Doyle's "A Study in Scarlet".
 
Summary of A Study in Blue: Emilie Watson Bennett moves into 221b Baker Street in downtown Pleasanton, along with her best friend Molly McIntire. When Kit Kittredge is called on to report on a case, she brings the duo along. Emilie's deducting manages to put them on the right path, but a more sinister person is behind these crimes than they think.

 Postscript: Emilie is pronounced "Ehm-ih-lee" or "Emmalee", whichever you prefer.

Of Updates and Such // by Kit Kittredge

Dear Readers,
   Hi there, my name is Margaret Mildred Kittredge. Please call me Kit. I will be writing a case book from the cases that my friend Emilie and I tackle. I hope you'll enjoy them, but it will take perhaps a month or two for me to get the first one posted, so please stand by.
   But to tide you over 'till then, here's some edits that the Head of AGSS has done.

Get it? IOU a Fall?

 

 Write more soon!

Mission // Independence // by Brooklyn

Mission Log #64626

by Agent Brooklyn M. Hanaway

Today I have been assigned by the Head of AGSS, W. Silver B. to a mission dubbed Mission Independence. We have reason to suspect that certain villains will be present at Pleasanton's Independence Day Celebration. I have assigned Agent Ontario for undercover-ness and Agent Friday for surveillance. I myself will be undercover as well. I also have contact with our Consulting Detective, Detective Watson. She will be arriving from England as soon as she can [which will probably be in a few months].
   Will follow up.

-Agent Hanaway

What Do You Think So Far?

I'm thinking it's looking pretty good!

What do you think?

...so please excuse me if it looks horrible. 

I'm giving it a redo. 

And soon will work on more stories. 

I will be giving this neglected little blog a complete makeover.

So please ignore the oddness.
