[He's got a good amount of strength, at the least, so he manages to set it back with some effort to the wall before focusing on Kotetsu.]

These dilapidated areas are nothing to trifle with, my good fellow. It is lucky you didn't suffer worst. And more than lucky that I was here to save you from your fate!

[sponsoredby]

Yeah, I got pretty lucky this time.

[ Just casually patting the dust off of him. ]

With your grand entrance, you'd make a pretty good hero, Sholmes.

[greatdeduction]

[A laugh.]

A hero? My dear fellow, I could already be considered one. My exploits are published within Randst Magazine with the help of my esteemed biographer at home. Though in your world, I think I could do without the flashiness and sponsorship. Unless the sponsorship gave some good money, then....well, I could reconsider....

[sponsoredby]

I hear you can live a pretty comfortable lifestyle with the sponsorship.

[ But shrugs! ]

Then you can be my personal hero.

[ He pats his chest twice, dramatically. Unfortunately, it causes a bunch of dust to kick up and he coughs again. ]

[greatdeduction]

Is that so?

[And a hearty laugh at that next part.]

Am I not already, with my dashing way to save the day for you, hm? [But oh no, that cough. He claps him on the shoulder.] Let's get you some fresh air, my dear fellow. Staying here will do you no good.

I couldn't quite see with the dust and being trapped, but it sounded like it'd make me swoon. Now if only you carried me over the threshold.

[ He's joking. But he also has been literally carried princess style by his partner who saved him before. More than once. ]

You're probably right about staying, though. Didn't expect this much dust.

[ Gives the place a once over. He can come back once the dust has literally settled. ]

[greatdeduction]

Carried you over the threshold? My, what an image that is.

[But he pats him on the back, pushing him gently to move to the doorway. No more dust for you!]

What were you searching for in the first place?

[sponsoredby]

[ It sure is an image and he's amused by it. ]

I was mainly scouting for more things for cooking.

[ But, before Sholmes can respond to that specifically: ]

Oh! Right! I saw something I wanted to show you.

[greatdeduction]

...Hm?

[sorry, he's instantly distracted about OFFERS to HIS ATTENTION]

Do show me, post-haste! I must see!

[sponsoredby]

[ well, he's not going to run to it, but he is going to motion him along. ]

Not sure if you've been looking at much of the technology around here since we've arrived.

[ he probably has, but... Kotetsu still seems delighted ]

[greatdeduction]

I have been deep in investigation of numerous things this very day, my dear fellow, so I shall not say I have deemed to pay attention to such things...

[definition: he was distracted]

Pray tell, have you found an example of technology, then?

[sponsoredby]

[ big surprise ]

Yeah, I found a TV. And they've even got some working equipment that belongs to it.

[greatdeduction]

[!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

You have my ear, Mr. Kotetsu. And my other ear. And my eyes. Show me!

[sponsoredby]

[ he gives a big thumbs up! and starts to lead him right to the house. ]

It took a few tries, but I finally found something that works.

[greatdeduction]

Ah, and is it showing plays on it, like you said before? I find it fascinating that such things could be broadcasted so easily. And I thought my cinematograph was advanced enough!

[sponsoredby]

They don't have anything live going on right now. Assuming it's because of the state of this place, but they have some things on tape. It can be a surprise for both of us.

[ honestly, he didn't look around at what the options were, but they'll find something interesting. probably.

he jerks his head down a street, indicating that's the way to go. ]

[greatdeduction]

....Tape? And what is that?

[SO MANY NEW THINGS TO DISCOVER]

[Anyways, he's happily following along.]

By the by, are you feeling any better from your little dust attack?

[sponsoredby]

It has things recorded on it. Movies or shows. [ Thinks a moment. ] Movies are stories that are contained to short lengths, but shows are more ongoing and have multiple parts to them.

[ But he nods about the question. ]

Yeah, I'm fine. It was just a little hard to breathe when I was in there.

[greatdeduction]

Multiple parts....ah. Not unlike the chapters of a book.

[He smiles at that.]

Take some deep breathes, my man. [And a pat on the shoulder.] We can't lose you yet, especially to such paltry circumstances.

[sponsoredby]

Exactly like that.

[ But who really reads these days. ]

A little dust won't kill me.

[ But look! A house...!! And he holds his hand out to indicate this is the place. ]

[greatdeduction]

Ah, what a find you've gotten, Mr. Kotetsu.

[He's already running forward!]

Come now, you really must make haste! You're as slow as a turtle, my man!

[sponsoredby]

[ Honestly, he's so amused at how excited Sholmes is about all this. Like a little kid on Christmas. ]

I'm coming, I'm coming.

[ In true dad fashion, he's taking his time. But! He gets there. ]

I couldn't find the remote, but you see these buttons here? The red is the power button.

[greatdeduction]

[He's like a five year old in a 34 year old body. This is how he is.]

The...power button. Ah. [Pressing it!] What does this run on? Electricity?

[sponsoredby]

[ It's cute. Not that Kotetsu doesn't act like a manchild a lot, but big dad energy, too.

For now, the TV is only displaying fuzzy static! ]

Yeah. That might be why the other ones didn't work. That thing on top is an antennae. It normally helps find things that are being broadcast locally, but it doesn't seem to be picking anything up right now.

[greatdeduction]

Hm.

[Just patting the top of it and then fiddling with the antennae like its a toy.]

So it must pick up what, a signal? How unfortunate. And I was excited to see plays and the like!
