My name is Mycroft Holmes. Specifically, the Mycroft Holmes from BBC's Sherlock, not the U.S. version, Elementary.

Yes, I'm aware there are multiples of people present, including two pairs of Sherlocks and Watsons, and yes, I've been doing my research. There's not much else to do whist in quarantine.

For any interested parties, I was previously in Preya before I was brought to Tumbleweed.

As I write, I ought to be released from quarantine in approximately 29 hours from now. Neither my flat from London nor Preya has appeared with me, but I've been told something has been arranged. I do hope it's adequate. All that remains is to secure some sort of gainful employment which isn't too mundane.

	Ice cream may be more within your budget. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just for that, you're only getting the ice cream. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brother_mine 2017-11-09 01:59 am UTC (link)
	Just for what? For having high taste in shoes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Your tone of condescension. I can appreciate that you have an extravagant taste in fashion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	To be fair, it is my default mode. Why would you purchase a £ 320 pair of shoes for an utter stranger? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	spoilers_ 2017-11-09 03:03 am UTC (link)
	Noted. I wouldn't. Except perhaps to prove that I could. I hope you brought some of your wealth with you. Gainful employment, as you say, at least to your apparently high standards, is difficult to come by in these parts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~So you feel as though you have something to prove. Curious.~~ But you are still sending the ice cream, I hope? Unfortunately, no. I feared as much, with a town called Tumbleweed, but one makes do with the resources one has at their disposal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I haven't decided yet. The name is rather on the nose. Though there are the occasional bursts of excitement. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do tell me when you've made your decision. Rose Tyler may be bringing me lunch, and it would be delightful to accompany it with dessert, and possibly your company. I've already read about the Gremlins. I'm rather glad that I've avoided that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You seem quite skilled at getting people to do what you want. What is it you do? It was not near as perilous as others would make it seem. They were easily dispatched of before any real harm could be done. And I found the Mogwai to be charming little creatures. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And you've never been? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private spoilers_ 2017-11-10 04:18 pm UTC (link)
	Regularly. Though I'm not the one making requests from a sealed room. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private brother_mine 2017-11-11 04:01 am UTC (link)
	And yet, I've made no requests. I've only been offered. The gestures are appreciated, however. They're much more palatable than being insulted for apparently no other reason besides that I'm articulate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It truly is a curse.

I'm currently in the process of notifying one of the local police officers that the terrorist who goes by the code-name, 'Mystique' threatened my life. Have you had any interactions with Officer Gene Hunt in Tumbleweed? The character is his television show is often biased and doesn't strictly adhere to police protocols. I'm waiting for a response from him.

	Making friends already? My, you don't waste any time. I am acquainted with Hunt. He seems a descent enough fellow, though the chip on his shoulder is demonstrably large. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

A personal record, I believe. Though, to give Mystique her due, she replied looking for an excuse to be upset.

I received a reply from those in charge of this military base - there's nothing they can do unless she actually commits a crime *

Should I expire or otherwise mysteriously disappear without a warning, you'll know the prime suspect. The information on her Google page says she's a shape shifter who is able to perfectly take on the form and voice of anybody, and while I doubt she'd be able to fool me, there's a chance she'd be able to get close enough to do any dirty work before I'm able to prevent it.

	I don't believe I've had the pleasure. Sounds like I don't want to. I am unaware of a discernible way to tell a mysterious disappearance from the normal vortex-related ones, but I promise to investigate in any case, should it come to that. But she'll likely get bored and move on soon enough. I think you've earned your ice cream. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That makes two of us.

Thank you. I do hope you're correct about being bored. I've elected to ignore any future communication from her from now on, in the hopes that she will. Then again, if she's got an axe to grind, then she'll be angry no matter what course I take.

I'm not sure if I deserve anything, but I would aprreciate it, thank you. [...] Just please don't bring it up to my brother, Sherlock. The ice cream and the matter with Mystique.

	I was unaware of her existence until you brought her to my attention. With any luck, she will return to whatever rock she crawled out from under. Your brother is rather aloof. It would be unlikely that a situation would present itself for such a conversation, but I promise you my silence. And some chocolate cherry ice cream. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private brother_mine 2017-11-13 07:07 pm UTC (link)
	A little investigation reveals she is an enemy of the X-Men. I wonder if they might be of any help> I eagerly await the moment when I may meet you in person. With ice cream. (Reply to this) (Parent)
