01-15. Doctor Watson in Residence

Dr Watson may not be helping Sherlock Holmes solve crimes at the moment, but he's still eager to assist. Besides being level 5 in his medical career, Watson serves as butler and pet sitter for the household. And if I gave him a gardening chip, he'd probably take care of the plants too. But Di's the family gardener.

When the others can only chew their fingernails over broken appliances ...
 ...Watson rushes over without delay to Reassemble Components.
 And he doesn't consider the job done until all puddles are mopped.
 Dirty dishes left on the table? Watson's got that covered.
He'll even fix those annoying faucet geysers, no matter how many times they erupt.
Watson is there when a pet needs a soft touch and a kind word.
He's there even when they don't need him. Miss Marple got grungy while digging around for collectibles. Everyone insisted on giving her a bath. They kept picking her up before she could make it to the Pet Hydrogenator. 

Watson was disappointed that Di claimed Marple first. Why should an old ghostly has-been get to bathe little Miss Marple? ...And notice Watson's super power: he can draw solar energy into his personal battery cells. 
 Marple didn't really mind the attention, and Di was gentle with her. But they did leave water puddles behind.
 No problem. Watson followed them to the tub and cleaned up the splashes.
The only annoying thing that Dr Watson does is drain power from electronics. He has a brand new charging station with his name on it, but he prefers to renew his energy in a more dramatic way.
Watson has a Friendly chip installed, so he enjoys having visitors over. Although, I do have to wonder what he finds to talk about. Making beds? Washing sheets? Improving his beside manner?
 When family members are occupied with their own concerns, Dr Watson doesn't mind communing with his pet sprite. The little green hologram is a captive audience after all.
