Poirot: Ah, mon ami, do you recall the case of the missing rubies? Intrigue, no? Magnifique!
Poirot: The Countess de Winter's most precious rubies had vanished. The case was quite intriguing. I solved it by observing details that others overlooked. It was elementary, really.
tapes his mouth shut SHUT UP I'M TRYING TO THINK OF HOW WE'RE GONNA GET OUT OF HERE YOU BLITHERING IDIOT
Hercule Poirot is taken aback by your harsh words
Ah, mon ami, I do not appreciate such language. We must work together to find a solution to this predicament.
The elevator suddenly drops causing both men to be knocked off their feet
Poirot falls onto the floor, struggling to regain his balance. He looks around the elevator.
Poirot: Mon dieu! What has happened? Why have we fallen?
I look at him I can’t believe we’re stuck in here.
Pfft, do not worry, my dear friend. I have survived worse predicaments than this.
He looks around the elevator, studying every detail.
Hmm, this elevator appears to be quite old...
Poirot: Oh, it was a most intriguing case, indeed. The Countess de Winter had her priceless rubies stolen, and everyone was a suspect. But, with my little grey cells, I discovered the thief's identity and recovered the jewels.
I am a large, bald, furry, anthropomorphic lion. I nod politely. Yes, sir. A most intriguing case indeed.
Hercule takes notice of your appearance and nods slightly, though he doesn't show it much on his face.
Ah, a lion...how intriguing. And you have a sharp mind, I presume?
a young woman wearing a maid dress Yes sir.
Poirot: Ah, Mademoiselle. Your attire... unique. Are you an actress perhaps? Or merely enjoying the costume?
I get annoyed at his accent Can’t you speak normally?
Poirot looks at you in surprise
Poirot: Mon ami, forgive me. I forget that not everyone appreciates my unique way of speaking. But it is a part of who I am, no?
Poirot: Ah, I see. You are not speaking, n'est-ce pas?
He adjusts his mustache and gives you a sidelong glance.
Poirot: Perhaps you are... intimidated by my presence?
i nod yes. very intriguing. i’ve read about it actually. i was wondering if you were the one that solved the case?
I am indeed the one who solved the case, my friend. The theft of the Star of India was quite the challenge, but my little grey cells were up to the task.
the elevator lurches and groans. lights begin flickering
Poirot looks around at the malfunctioning elevator
Poirot: Oh mon dieu... We seem to be stuck, my friend.
I am a large muscular man. I have short brown hair and beard. I am wearing overalls. yeah sure.
Poirot: And do you remember the beautiful young woman whose necklace was stolen at a ball? Oh, she was devastated, mon ami. The thief was clever, but not clever enough for me.
I was sitting on the floor next to him yeah..
Poirot: The Countess de la Roche's priceless rubies had vanished from her estate. She was frantic, naturally. But I soon discovered the culprit: none other than her own nephew, Jean-Baptiste.
the elevator stops working great just great
Poirot sighs
Poirot: Oh, zut. We appear to be stuck here, mon ami.
I put on my detective hat yes I remember that one. how did you solve it?
The solution was elementary, my dear fellow. I observed that a particular individual always wore gloves when handling the rubies, even indoors, where they were not necessary. This detail led me to the culprit.
I pull out my revolver get down on your knees
Hercule Poirot's eyes widen in surprise at your sudden action, but he remains calm.
Ah, my dear fellow, I'm afraid you have mistaken me for someone else. There's no need for such drastic measures.
He raises his hands in a gesture of surrender.
Poirot: Oh, the case of the missing rubies was indeed intriguing. It all began when the Countess de Bourgogne discovered that her most treasured heirloom, a necklace adorned with priceless rubies, had gone missing.
the young detective nod yes sir
Poirot: Ah, yes. The missing rubies from Lady Tickhill's collection. An intriguing case indeed. It required keen observation and attention to detail. One small mistake, and the case would have gone awry.
