[ Jane is hesitant, but... well. She knows her detective. She knows how detectives are. You need to make room for the emotional side of loss, as well as the practical side. ]

So... we should probably have a funeral. For Alec. It doesn't seem right otherwise. Anyone know what religion he practiced? [ She's not even sure if he had one. ] Anyway, just something small, I think. Does that sound okay?

...I've never really planned one before, so I could use some help.

No. I have the feeling that he wouldn't make a very good Irregular. Probably doesn't take direction well.

I'm putting it away! This is where I normally keep gum.

[watsonyourmind]

He will never know the sword that narrowly missed his head.

If you turn into a rabbit or something, you're just going to have to deal with it.

[nopolicelikeholmes]

Someone forgot her coffee today.

[watsonyourmind]

I had my coffee. And I made it, so I knew what was in it, too.

[ She squints at Shirley as if anticipating a transformation any minute now. ]

[nopolicelikeholmes]

[ nothing happens. ]

This seems to be perfectly normal gum.

[watsonyourmind]

You were lucky this time.

You like morbid things. Have you seen a funeral home around here anywhere?

[nopolicelikeholmes]

Hey, that's like saying that you like girly things and then asking where I can get a frilly pink tutu.

[nopolicelikeholmes]

... I do just happen to know where there's a funeral home, though.

[ bubble! pop. ]

[watsonyourmind]

[ Well, Shirley appears to still be human. Good. ]

You can buy them at the thrift shop down by the Jasmine Dragon. And good. I wasn't looking forward to dealing with the icky stuff.

[ Obvs doctoring is different. ]

[nopolicelikeholmes]

But do they come in my size~?

... And, don't you have to play around with cadavers all the time in anatomy class and whatever?

[watsonyourmind]

Why, do you want one? I'd like to see that.

Uh, one, I haven't had that class yet, and two, I'm not ready for it. And three, I wouldn't know those cadavers.
