I think it was you and me messin' around that caused us to be tangled, Herlock.
[ Amused. ]
In any case, I'll be back in a little bit.
[ So saying, he shoves his hands in his pockets and strolls away. He does at least make sure to go far enough as to be out of sight, since that probably maybe has something to do with it?? ]
[Does he realize how much restraint it takes for Sholmes to remain in one place when he’s feeling as energetic as he does? These strings are so curious, after all, revealing much about everyone’s connections to each other, it’s hard not to dart off and seek yet one more.
But…. For the sake of science, he remains in one spot.
Juzo’s thread, tangled in the middle, starts to fade the farther and farther away the man wanders off.]

Half glass full, my friend.
[....He lets him work on detangling him.]
Better one than two.
no subject
Or I could leave you like this. Less chance you'll get yourself in trouble.
no subject
Anyway, Sholmes looks up at Juzo, aghast. Or feigning it, at least.]
You'd leave me tied up here, helpless, and at the mercy of those who'd wander by?
no subject
I didn't say I was gonna leave you here.

[ Sholmes is getting picked up now!! It's like he weighs nothing to Juzo, who just sort of slings him over one shoulder. ]
no subject
[And this time, his surprise is far less feigned as he's lifted up and slung over Juzo's shoulder like a sack of bricks.]
Juzo!
[Wiggles, but alas, he is bound by his own doing.]
no subject
[ He's not actually heading back toward the dorm, instead he's taking them somewhere that's a lot less crowded, with fewer strings in the way. ]
no subject
[No, this is not towards the dorms, not at all.]
no subject
[ Once they are well and truly away from everyone else, he bends, setting Sholmes back on his feet. ]
The strings get kinda intangible the further away you are, right? So if I leave you here and walk away a bit, maybe it'll untangle itself.
no subject
Oh, so you believe that it is proximity that causes us to be tangled? Or at least, provides a higher chance for us to become tangled?
In that case, let us test your theory.

JUZO! I THINK YOU MAY HAVE BEEN CORRECT!
no subject
YOU DON'T HAVE TO YELL ABOUT IT!
[ A beat. ]
CAN YOU MOVE?
no subject
[A beat, too.]
YES! I AM ABLE TO WAVE MY ARMS AROUND JUST SO!
no subject
[ He sounds a bit closer already, and soon enough he appears back in Sholmes' eyeline before too long. How's the tangle situation looking? ]
no subject
[The situation is looking a lot less tangled! In fact, Juzo's thread seems to reappear as a single, straight line for now as he approaches again.]
no subject
Okay, okay. Quit yellin'.
no subject
You're a genius, Mr Inui! Er, Juzo! Look here!
[Waggles his fingers, moves his arms... De-tangled!]
no subject
[ Now that he's close enough, he reaches up to tug the brim of Sholmes' hat down over his eyes a little. Apparently, the playful mood is catching. ]
Now, fun as that was, no more shenanigans.
no subject
"Shenanigans?" Who is pulling shenanigans now? I retract my compliment to you, dear fellow.
