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.

Consulting detective? Can't say I've heard of one of those before.

He made it up. I think he likes the idea of being one of a kind.

The man I mentioned before... the one who used me. He was the world's only "consulting criminal." Sherlock's nemesis.

Is that jackass the reason Sherlock faked his death?

~Nick, who clearly doesn't like people that hurt Molly even though he barely knows her

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

Yes. *nods* Sherlock said he'd have killed John and Greg... and Mrs. Hudson. It's why he trusted me. Because Jim... Moriarty never thought of me as Sherlock's friend, so he didn't have anyone watching me.

- Molly, who feels really comfortable telling him things

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

That's just...

Reminds me of a serial killer we had to deal with once. She kidnapped one of my co-workers to get to my boss. The rest of us didn't know they were a couple until that night.

~Nick

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

That's awful.

When Jim... *sigh* When I dated him, he'd been setting up this whole plan for months. He worked in my building and asked me out and... we dated for awhile. All for this one moment, this one introduction to Sherlock, and then he went cold.

*mumbles* The sex was always weird.

- Molly

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

He sounds, well, mentally unstable actually seems like an understatement. Please tell me he was apprehended.

*pretends to not have heard the comment about the sex to keep things from getting awkward*

~Nick

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*looks up at him* He's dead.

- Molly

((She's not thinking about what's she's saying, really. :P))

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

*blinks*

That works too.

~Nick

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

I hope it isn't too callous to say... it works for me. *smiles at him*

I think I'm going to go back inside, go up to my room, and make myself a cup of tea. Would you like one?

- Molly

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

*smiles back at her*

I'd like that. I want to get to know you better.

~Nick

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

We can talk about less depressing things. *notices she's still holding his hand* And I'm not letting this go yet.

I'll admit. You're cute and I'm hungry for the contact.

- Molly, who is no longer tactful

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

*blushes slightly*

Keep my hand as long as you like.

~Nick

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

So what brings you out here? *starts walking toward the building*

- Molly

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

I needed a vacation and this is far, far away from Las Vegas.

~Nick

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*nods* Me too. The vacation bit, not Vegas. *laughs*

I was trying to get away from the Holmes brothers for awhile... Thinking about them, you know? But they're both here.

- Molly

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

That's some bad luck. Sounds like you need someone to distract you from them.

~Nick

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

Are you volunteering? *digs around in her pocket for the key to her room*

- Molly

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

If that's what you want, then yes. I am.

~Nick

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*finds the key and unlocks her room, opening the door, then turning to look at him*

It's what I want... definitely. *smiles shyly*

- Molly

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

I was hoping that was going to be your answer.

~Nick

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*walks into the room, holding the door open for him*

Really? *studies him* Okay... what's wrong with you? There must be something wrong with you because handsome men don't normally date me unless they're evil or crazy or something.

- Molly

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

I promise I'm not evil, but after fifteen years of working the graveyard shift, I might be a little crazy.

~Nick

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*laughs* I know that feeling. I work the late shifts too, Someone has to.

- Molly

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

I've had plenty of opportunities to transfer to days, but I just feel like I can do the most good working nights.
