Open Log - He’s a Busy Man

[gadaboutdetective]

Who: Watts and whoever you throw at him
What: Open Starters! Variety of locations! Oooooh, shiny!
When: The month of April, vague dates from early to late month. It’s up to you when!
Warnings: None to start but I will update if it comes to it, which would only happen if someone gets him to talk about his world/himself. He’s from a murder mystery canon in the Edwardian era so there’s always the possibility of the discussion of murder cases and the sensitive topics around those coming up if your character asks or reminds him of something.
Notes: I’m also down for anything you might want, you can throw something my way if the starters don’t work for you. They’re more like general interaction opportunities! I can match with action brackets if you prefer!

Starters found in the comments!

I don’t know what a workaholic is, but it sounds fake to me. - Private Investigator’s Office

[gadaboutdetective]

Llewellyn hadn’t had an office to call his own, not in his own world. Detective Murdoch had the official office at Station House 4, and that was entirely fair! He wasn’t complaining of course! He knew well enough that he was a lucky man to even have a job. They hadn’t needed another detective, and still they had let him stay. Gave him the odd case or allowed him to assist when something big happened. Let him clutter whatever desk was free for the day if he needed it, whenever he wandered in like the stray cat he was.

And for all the recent drama, all the Inspector’s... less than admirable qualities... it was still better than Station House 1. He’d put up with it until they decided to run him out as well.

Here, however, in another world he had found himself with a rather unique opportunity. The council hadn’t gone for him starting a formalized system, there was ‘No need for it’ apparently. Strange, and largely incorrect if what he’d heard was anything to go by, but he wasn’t the sort of man to just accept things and move on. Instead, he’d come at it from another angle (thanks to a little encouragement from Alex) and presented another idea, one that would make their lives easier.

A Private Investigation Office.

So Llewellyn had spent the better part of the last few weeks putting his spare time into setting up shop. Finding a small dome to turn into an office, working out the finer details, furnishing it, and offering his services if the opportunity came his way. So far he hadn’t had much of anything exciting, petty thefts and the like from the Sphere’s locals. Still, it kept him busy. It gave him something to do, and a lot to think about. That was what mattered to him, keep himself thinking about other things and focused on helping people.

And it was nice... Having a space to call his. A place that he could keep his slowly compiled collection of information, to spread it all out at a moments notice and not need to worry about people grumbling over the mess.

It was also an excellent place to hide away when things got to be... A bit much. When his mind got overloaded and socializing was difficult. When even the recreational dome or agricultural dome were too public. People didn’t generally understand when he got in this particular kind of head space, got frustrated with his lack of responsiveness and seeming disinterest, so having a place to go was best.

Needless to say, Llewellyn was either busy at work, snacking over his notes, or in one of those moods when you chose to drop in on him.
