first case
[Once upon a time...or. Well. Right now, anyway.
There is a knight, whose exploits are well-known across the land. He is a strange knight, owing no allegiance to either king or kingdom, and only taking on quests that he deems interesting. He is well-known, though, for his cunning and skill, and for his keen perception that some people, lamentably, mistakenly refer to as magic. He is one of the most sought-after knights anywhere, though good luck trying to get him to accept your quest.
Perhaps you are one of the people who've sought him out in hopes that he'll accept yours. Perhaps you're on a quest yourself, and you just so happen to bump into him. Perhaps you are a villain, for after all, every fairy tale needs a good old-fashioned villain. Perhaps you are an ally of his. The possibilities are endless.
After all, every fairy tale needs not only a good old-fashioned villain, but a good old-fashioned hero, right?
Too bad Sherlock Holmes isn't the usual sort of hero you'd expect from a fairy tale.]
((OOC: Right, so! Does your fairy tale need a knight? Sir Sherlock Holmes, consulting knight, is here to provide all your knightly needs! Unfortunately he is a very arrogant one who will only take interesting quests, but he gets results. Feel free to stick him in any scenario at all, like a princess rescue or a search for something lost or a quest to kill the evil wizard, anything at all! So long, of course, as it's interesting.
And if you haven't filled it out yet, please fill out the permissions post here!))

Then he glances upwards, and a corner of his mouth turns up in a half-smirk.]
I think we've just caught ourselves an arsonist.

Why wouldn't they be an arsonist? [ Quorra gestures to the burned wood all around them. It seems obvious. ]

[Come along, Quorra, he's very sure he knows who the arsonist is and where he's hiding.]

oh dear god so much tl;dr sob
He sidles into a chair at the table of one rather skittish young man. There are traces of ash, burns, and flammable chemicals on his hands. Not an alchemist--their hands wouldn't be the only parts of their body covered in flammable chemicals, so obsessed are they with their art, not that he particularly minds as long as they have a steady supply of them that he can take--and he certainly bears the look of someone who's very sure they've gotten away with something.
At least until Sherlock came up. Now he looks like a cornered rat.]
Now, I know the inn has a terrible service, but are you really so easily provoked, that you'd burn it down simply for that?
[Of course not. But he's smiling, the sort of smile that you only ever get to see on people who are just biding their time until they pounce.
The man stands up hurriedly, and breaks into a run. Sherlock follows in his stead, briefly pausing only to tap Quorra on the shoulder.]
Keep up.
[Then he runs off as well.]
NOT A PROBLEM!
You can't run off like--[ She yells after the crook. Then she eyes Sherlock as he taps her. She glances off to the side then turns and follows. ]
