[Following his original's theories like every good clone should, Freud has spent the better part of today observing feral dogs and cats going about their everyday lives in the alleyways of Somni. Though he's got nothing entirely remarkable to show for it, as the original Sigmund Freud said, "time spent with cats is never wasted". As the sun approaches the horizon, he decides to call it a day.... until he spots something lying in an alleyway that really should not be there. It's the badly bruised and headless body of [Bad username or site: nie-unschuldig title= @ livejournal.com]. Facing such a sight, the teenager can't help but worry for his own safety.

He drops his Dreamberry in the process of fumbling for it, which activates a voice broadcast. The sound of shoes hastily moving on paved ground can be heard, as well as a scraping noise once the device is picked up.]

Another murder...?

[It's then that it switches over to video, showing the terrified face of a young man who has obviously just seen something very traumatizing. A noise comes from further down the alleyway, most likely a stray cat, but Freud whips his head in the direction of the noise, interprets it as a threat, and makes a mad dash for a nearby hiding place. The Dreamberry is pressed up against his chest as he flattens himself against a wall behind a dumpster. For a minute or so, the screen is entirely black, and all that can be heard is rapid breathing accompanied by a rapid heartbeat. Once it becomes apparent that no one is there anymore, Freud finally calms down enough to figure out what his Dreamberry is doing, turn off the unintentional broadcast, and send a hastily typed text message.]

[Text to Sherlock:]

[well, he can do text, too. Just to conform with this or something.]

Stay somewhere safe in that general area. Do not move far away unless you deem it necessary. I'll be there shortly, provided you don't mind.

[That's essentially what he's been doing all along, so he will gladly continue doing it. And someone showing up to help sounds wonderful.]

[after a relatively short period of time--short in Austria time, anyway. He only got lost a few times this time--Austria arrived at the location Freud had pointed out over the Dreamberry. The place was... well, unpleasant looking, naturally, and Austria felt himself growing rather sick being there. But Freud was one of his Austrians, so he had to (pretend) to be strong and all that. Just for the sake of his image and all that]

Freud. Are you still here?

[It's been so long that by this point, Freud is pretty damn sure that nobody is around anymore. Also, it's dark and cold, and he would really like to go back to the mansion right now. Hearing Austria's voice is at first an alarming thing, then, a great relief.]

I'm over here!

[Upon hearing Freud, he heads over toward the source of the voice, still a bit on edge because of, well, everything around here.]

Might I ask why on earth you were out here in the first place? [because you know... why would you ever.]

I was observing cats.

[A simple answer to an otherwise complicated question.]

It would have been far less dangerous in a controlled environment. The mansion, for instance.

[see, he can see what you're trying to do there, Freud. He will probably give in eventually because you're Freud, but for now, he's a bit :|;.]

I suppose next I should ask why you were observing cats, then.

My original is famous for having said, "Time spent with cats is never wasted."

Well, surely your original never wound up in a position such as this thanks to observing cats. Really, you ought to be more careful!

You say that as though I could have predicted what would happen. And how often is it that one stumbles upon a corpse in the city?

As infrequent as that sort of occurrence may be, is wandering out alone in the middle of a city without telling others where you're going really the best of ideas? Somarium has its dangers, as does every other city, you know.

[Well... Austria is right. Time to get out of this argument the easy way.]

No, I'm afraid I didn't know. You see, Somarium is the first city I've ever been to.

[well, that would certainly explain it. But you know, Austria's not going to stop being ~~Mama Austria~~ concerned/irritated just because of that]

First city or not, surely you should have realized letting people know where you were heading before departing was only common sense!

I'll be sure to do that next time.
