Summary: Rarity needs help locating her stolen sapphires, but Sherlock has a more pressing case at hand.
Notes: I stumbled across “Time and Relative Perspectives in Space” that cantarina1, weimar27, nickelmountain, and moragmacpherson produced for pod_together, and I was fascinated. I loved hearing a fanfic play, and I wanted to make one of my own. This one is actually my third one; the other two are tiny drabbles (just under a minute long each) that I haven’t yet made cover art or recorded the header for, but I’ll be posting those shortly.

I didn’t collaborate, so all the character voices are my own. Additionally, as you can hear in the header, my natural speaking voice is a Californian accent, so producing (1) Applejack’s Southern twang, (2) Sherlock and John’s Received Pronunciation, and (3) Rarity’s North Atlantic/posh accent was... a challenge. I very much welcome constructive criticism, so do pick apart my accents. I have a background in linguistics, so if you can use IPA, all the better.

Thanks to oddacity, metavolition, and prosopopeya for betaing.
