IC Prospective | Mycroft 7th year

[watchful_big_brother]

Character: Mycroft Holmes (BBC 'Sherlock')
Mun: Gowa
Plot specific: Not really, just trying out Mycroft as year head boy or prefect?

While I understand that as a student one cannot simply ignore the opportunities to cause chaos when presented with such a situation, I strongly encourage everyone to please do as they are told and avoid stealing into the Forbidden Forest. Things could get... messy.


[filtered to Sherlock]

This friendly suggestion goes double for you, brother. We wouldn't want to upset Mummy with an Owl about how you managed to get yourself spirited away by some over-eager Centaurs, now would we?

Isn't it always?

[ihaveanappforthat]

Can't say I've paid much attention. Though assuming it is, you're only going to cause more people to do it by bringing to their attention.

[watchful_big_brother]

Perhaps I should be so lucky as to have a few individuals spirited away then.

[ihaveanappforthat]

Oh my, mister Holmes, wishing harm upon other students?

[watchful_big_brother]

Me? Oh no, certainly not. It was purely hypothetical musing on my part.

[ihaveanappforthat]

Well, you'll be happy to note I have no intention of doing any such thing.

[watchful_big_brother]

How fortunate for us to have such a law-abiding student among us then.

[ihaveanappforthat]

You know I'm ever-so law-abiding.

So how have you been?

[watchful_big_brother]

As well as can be. Yourself?

[ihaveanappforthat]

I've been entertained. Could be better though.

[watchful_big_brother]

I can imagine.

[ihaveanappforthat]

Can you really?

[watchful_big_brother]

Not as vividly as some, but to an extent certainly.

[ihaveanappforthat]

You're blown from glass too, even though you hide behind stone. You might want to be wary, sometimes people like to chuck stones through glass.

[watchful_big_brother]

I thought I was made out of ice according to you?

[ihaveanappforthat]

Doesn't make as fitting of a metaphor.

[watchful_big_brother]

Oh but then you're missing the details. Glass is just that, glass, little else in it save for quartz sand. Ice on the other hand can contain many things. Particularly ice found in nature - all those sediments in the water making the core, including rocks.

In either case, when the two objects shatter, you have to be careful of the shards that come flying out.

[ihaveanappforthat]

A few petty cuts never killed anyone before.
