A Week in Rural Scotland

[rainne]

Thank you for joining us here in picturesque Glen Macalie, on the shore of Loch Leven in the Grampian Mountains of Scotland. We welcome you to the campus of the Glen Macalie School for Girls and hope that you will enjoy your stay.


This week will largely be unstructured; you are welcome to investigate the castle (which dates back to 1237 CE) and the nearby village of Glen Macalie. Some resources which will be available to you include:

In the castle:
Comprehensive Library
Modern Kitchens
State of the art Training/Exercise Room
Extensively landscaped grounds and gardens
Horseback Riding
Fishing
Hiking

In the village:
Shopping
Pubs and restaurants
Museum
Historical buildings
Golf

We ask only that you take care to observe the following rules:

1) Please do not leave campus near or after dark.
2) Venturing too far outside after dark, even on campus, is not guaranteed to be safe. You do so at your own risk.
3) There will be occasional evening events. Participation in these events should be considered of minor risk; however, anyone taking part should endeavor to follow all directions to ensure his or her safety.

If you have any questions, please feel free to see Mr. Giles or Ms. Summers.

((Going to go look through my Lestrade icons and pick a better one than this. :P))

*smiles when he sees Lestrade and crosses the room*

I don't think I've ever been more glad to see you, Gregory.

And why so happy this time?

Some young lady was talking to me about drinks with umbrellas and champagne. It was awkward.

And I've missed you, Gregory darling.

Ah! Well... pleased to be able to rescue you from normal human topics of conversation.

*leans in* I really should have taken that trip with you. I've missed you more than I thought possible.

- Lestrade

Re: Welcome Reception

I don't like being apart from you, Gregory.

We need to discuss something I learned while in Amsterdam. About my brother.

Re: Welcome Reception

*takes a deep breath* Okay.

- Lestrade, who hates talking about Sherlock

Re: Welcome Reception

*leans in close so he can't be overheard*

He's not dead.

~Mycroft

Re: Welcome Reception

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*is clearly about to say "What?!?" but stops before he manages to make a sound, holding the face for a moment and looking confused*

...fuck.

- Lestrade

It was written all over Molly's face and then she confirmed it.

Mrs. Hudson, John, and you would have been killed if he hadn't done it.

~Mycroft

Re: Welcome Reception

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

And Molly knew. I suppose - he knew Moriarty would never have considered her someone who mattered?

*looks to Mycroft for confirmation, because he's not great at this deduction thing*

- Lestrade

Re: Welcome Reception

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

Molly didn't matter and my death wouldn't have bothered him. At least in Moriarty's mind.

~Mycroft

Re: Welcome Reception

*nod*

- Lestrade

Re: Welcome Reception

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

Moriarty's people have been turning up dead. Anthea brought it to my attention right before I left for Amsterdam.

~Mycroft

Re: Welcome Reception

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

And you think Sherlock might be the cause.

- Lestrade

Re: Welcome Reception

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

It's the only thing that makes sense.

~Mycroft

Re: Welcome Reception

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*nods again, taking a deep breath*

He's not dead. *looks toward the bar* I need a drink.

- Lestrade

Re: Welcome Reception

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

*his phone buzzes and he looks at the text - from a number he doesn't recognize*

Stop shagging Lestrade. -SH

I could use another one as well.

*replies to the text*

We're two grown men in a consensual relationship. Do grow up. MH

~Mycroft

((And I was bound to mess up the icons eventually.))

Re: Welcome Reception

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*grabs a drink and knocks it back, asking for another to nurse this time*

*notices the texting* Anthea?

- Lestrade

((I keep almost typing "Elijah" all the time.))

Re: Welcome Reception

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

*looks at his phone as another text comes through*

I don't want to see your sex life written all over his face. I need cases more than you need whatever you insist on calling it. -SH

*replies* Again, grow up. MH

It would be much less complicated if it were.

*shows him the texts from Sherlock*

~Mycroft

((Yesterday I kept almost signing Sherlock comments "Mycroft" and Mycroft comments "Sherlock"))

Re: Welcome Reception

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

Do you think he's watching? *looks around the room, then places a hand gently on Mycroft's cheek and kisses him, slowly - lovingly - because it's more than just sex for him*

- Lestrade

Re: Welcome Reception

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*shakes his head* I think I have better ideas, but I need you to finish undressing you first*

*works on that*

- Lestrade

Re: Welcome Reception

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

*pulls him into a fierce kiss*

Anything you want, Gregory.

~Mycroft

Re: Welcome Reception

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*smiles* I do so love you. And I wasn't just saying so to upset Sherlock.

*finishes undressing Mycroft and works on his own clothes*

- Lestrade

Re: Welcome Reception

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

*smiles at him fondly*

I love you more than I ever thought possible.

~Mycroft
