The Curious Cases of Caddel

Prologue

“How do you take your coffee, sir?”

“Five creams and six sugars, if you don’t mind,” answered a brisk and slightly lilted tone.

The reply garnered an ever so slight wide eye from the waiter but he turned to prepare the order.

“Excuse me-” said a more polite voice, from one of the two men at the table. The waiter turned to face him, having not expected the other man to speak, for he was dressed much like himself. “Yes, if you don’t mind-”

“He’ll have the same,” interjected the brisk voice, belonging to a certain Percival Caddel. The table shook slightly with the bounce of Percival’s leg; clearly, the man was not one for patience. For the past half hour, he’d been speaking to his colleague, William Birdwhistle, over a matter of great importance. Recently, Percy had been on a binge watching shows like BBC Sherlock, Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downy Jr.), Elementary, and other such media. Gaining a love for mystery solving, he was trying desperately to convince his friend to find and solve a case with him.

“I take my coffee black,” William scowled. Personal assistant, financier, and dear friend of Percy’s. Normally, William had a quiet and long-suffering countenance. His judiciousness, however, grows thin when his drink of choice is of the matter.

“We don’t have time for you to take your order! I know how specific you are. Now, what did you think of my proposal?”

“I think it’s dogwater.”

“Well have a heart.”

“No,” William said, still sour about the coffee, “you have far too many escapades already. I can’t keep the house and follow you around chasing goose feathers. You’re a grown man Percy, I think it’s time you came into yourself, and if you’re so passionate, do it by yourself.” He said with a huff. He called over the waiter once more to take a proper order.

Percival bit his cheek. This was going to take some work.

“How about this,” he began, gaining a thin side-eye from the other, “I manage everything. I pay for everything, obviously. Our first case? France. Low brow, just auhh, missing persons or something. The servants care for the house. It’s a vacation!”

“And what would be my role?”

“Aah, well, emotional support. You’re my best friend I simply couldn’t do this without you. And ahh, well Sherlock had a sidekick! Sherlock! It’s good to have two eyes for everything.” Percy said this while donning his most assuaging smile. “Come on, pretty please?”

But William knew.

“Percy,” he began, his voice sounding like it’d taken an arctic water bath, “I’d end up doing all the work. I’d end up cleaning your mess. I’d be the one calling your father if something terrible happened. I can’t entertain you anymore.” William’s note was final.

Percy winced at the last statement, then soured his lips and watered his eyes. It was true; Percy often took his most loyal friend on inane trips. Going on adventures looking for treasure only to end up in the hospital with spears stuck in them. Deep-sea escapades, promising the discovery of some terrible monster, ending in screams and a deep thalassophobia neither of them had before. In one instance, Percy grew intensely curious over rumours of a shady government site; this particular adventure ended with hush money and a stern word from his father.

Born into insane amounts of money, Percy never knew what to do with himself. He was the only son of the head of an elitist luxury goods company and his father rarely checked in on his well-being, barring when he’d found himself in trouble. Not knowing what to do with himself, Percy sought the highs of adventure and adrenaline.

“This is just like when you decided to invest in an Arctic sports event.” William stated, with a cold glare over his iced, Ristretto, ten shot, venti, with breve, five pump vanilla, seven pump caramel, and four sugar, which he requested to be poured, not shaken.

“This is completely different! And that’s a real thing you kno-”

“Hosted in Antarctica! Where polar bears are. You know how that ended.” William said, lowering his voice. The argument was catching the attention of other’s at the cafe. “I just can’t. Your father won’t approve of having to cover up for you again, either. You think coalescing with criminals is safe?”

Percy sighed pathetically. “Oh, my friend… You’re right. I’m terribly sorry. You have sacrificed much to indulge me and I ought to respect that.” He resigned himself, sipping at his barely-a-coffee.

“Yes, I’m glad you understand now.”

“Just one thing…” in an instant, William gave his coldest stare. Percy winced but he had to tell the truth. “… I already booked our flight to France. It’s set for later today.”

#ccc #Please enjoy! Let me know if this made you laugh or smile! :)) I want the tone to be very funny.

I really liked that how in "That's the Light" Percy Jr was also one of the people Rupert considered important, because although he was wrong before and Rupert had all the rights to never want to see his face again, he still gave Percy a second chance, like, really gave him a second chance, which I love not only because it shows how caring and forgiving Rupert is (which I admire and would love to be but ain't) it also is shown in this third season that PJ really took it seriously and is trying to change (and Rupert acknowledges), even if it's slowly and he's got a lot to work on, I just think that was really neat

[mega-ringsandthings-world]

I’m rewatching all my fave? english-centered period dramas in preparation for  new one coming out, twq, twp, tsp, the tudors, and I know we all love the tudor family here, but good lord was twp such a mess that I ended up actively hating every Tudor character in it. (which was kinda the point, imao) The twp show was based off phillipa gregory's books (that are even worse than the show) and they both shredded the characterizations of everyone in them to the point that they might as well be OCs based on historical figures. Literally the only reason I was able to make it through was because of the actors. jodie and jcls acting carried it at the best of times, and JCL is hot, so... and I’m so glad they got michelle fairley and essie davis as EW and MB, or else it would of been unwatchable.  I couldn’t really root for either lizzie or henry, because their characterizations and personalities were so inconstant and varied wildly from ep to ep, its like I was watching different people in each ep. nd that’s a big part of why I favored the York plotlines/characters more, at least most of them (except lizzie) stayed constant in their characterizations/motives (even if all they were consistent with was revenge against the tudors) And rooting for the tudors in general was hard too, since the show was bending backwards to make them all assholes. (JT gets a pass tho, he was just trying to raise his kid right) No one was really likable, you get a good moment with someone and then the next moment they’re doing something batshit, e.i, henry’s good for a while and then starts being a dick, (wtf was up with imply he slept with cathy gordon and him being such a bitch to lizzie out of the blue?) or you’re starting to sympathize with Margret Beaufort and then she kills another kid, which like, the decision to have her kill the two princes was a choice, and I won’t hesitate to say I enjoyed the drama it brought. Along those lines, the show is marginally enjoyable if you divorce it from the history its trying to retell and treat it as a game-of-thrones-bodice-ripper-drama, which was the intent of the author in the frst place, but whatever. That some of the best acting on the show came plots/situation that weren’t even real irl is wild, and that says a lot. henry’s talk with lizzie about her loving him, but not like she did w/rIII, and his depression-breakdown (never happened),  over his mother being a murderer and the whole thing with Richard Jr./percy warbeck was just juicy, later moments with lizzie and the bit when she talks to richard jr./pw in the tower and his laugh reminds her so much of her father? and then the execution scene? good shit.  A fave bit was henry sitting all despondent in his room remembering the killing of richardIII, and yes they did actually have richardIII buried alive in this show, jfc. It goes again to the bad characterization that ep 1 lizzie would have strangled him outright if she’d found that out, but lizzie in this ep would have been meh. Speaking of which, the short-lived friendship between richard jr./pw and teddy was extremely sweet, which made their executions all that more horrific. within the narrative of the show, R jr./pw seemed like he would have actually made an excellent king, he never seemed anything but kind and honorable, although adamant about his claim, and lizzie’s fear he would kill her children, which was  not unfounded of course, was also made mostly her entire basis for having him killed in the show, even though he was never presented as someone who would do that? make it make sense, or at least hint he would want to harm the kids after taking the throne, instead of showing him as incredibly nice. And in this show, with richard jr./pw being the actual richard, and mb having tried to kill him as a boy and framing richardIII for it, he’s more than justified in wanting the throne and justice. except that never happened irl, and the show has me rooting for a pretender instead of the certified monarchs, which are SUPPOSED TO BE THE “HEROES” OF THIS SHOW. and like, claimants to the throne are usually entitled fucks by nature, I don’t know why everyone hates richardjr./pw for being entitled, when every person who ever laid claim to a throne ever does so on the belief of entitlement to that throne?   And tell me how there was more chemistry between lizzie and faceless richard III in a four-second flashback than she and henry had in most scenes? I’m not saying that lizzie and henry didn’t have chemistry in the show, because they did, (at least the actors did) but once again, their inconsistent characterization marred a lot of scenes that would otherwise be amazing. Then the whole thing where henry r*ped her nd it was shown to be directly caused by her mentioning her relationship with richardIII? Messy, messy messy. after that, it was hard to “feel” lot of her and henry’s scenes even in better contexts. I ship lizzie/richardIII out of spite for that nasty-ass scene alone, because I can’t sit there and watch lizzie falling for her rapist. and then lizzie is vilified for her relationship with richardIII, yet the show implies that Margaret B is in love with her own brother, has lizze taunt her over it, and then present JT marrying/ MB her arranging his marriage as a tragedy for MB? Sir? Ma’am? Jasper Tudor straight up implying that his sister should get a fucking annulment so they can be together, and MB actually considering it gets a pass? more like margaret lannister. Then they bring up richarchIII as a gotcha to lizzie every other ep? someone inform henry that his beloved mother wants to fuck her brother, his beloved uncle and see if he keeps throwing rIII in lizzie’s face every five minutes. EYE. god, this show is bad, bad.  Don’t get me started on the burgundy plot. if you’re going to have the duchess start a war on a whim, at least imply she was possessed to do so by EW’s magic, or have the balls to make her stepdughter’s death actually the fault of the tudors. And poor fucking maggie. it was hard for her irl, but it’s intolerable for her within the show.   Sorry, this got long, I’m ranting at this point because holy hell ITS BAD. If you take it as a show that’s supposed to be about real life historical figures it’s a trash fire, but you really should just watch it as a story like bridgerton. makes it more tolerable.  You know you’ve lost it when a show that’s supposed to be about the unification of two great houses and the love story (not that it was reallly that great of a love story irl either, but that’s for another day) between the scions of those houses gives me hives and makes me wish the burgundy plot succeeded.
