[The video switches on, showing Mycroft looking as neutral as possible. He's in his room, doing his best not to show his distaste at shared quarters shine through. Mycroft even manages a polite smile, the expression not even reaching his eyes.]

Of all the places on this continent it had to be Florida. That will have to change, sharpish. I could argue it's the wrong country, but that's a debate I don't have the time to participate in. I'll have to just avoid the roadside food stands and hope for the best.

My name is Mycroft Holmes. I occupied a minor position in the British Government, so should anyone have questions along those lines then direct them to me. If I find them engaging enough, I'll answer them. As for the notion of "powers", I will have to accept what my eyes tell me regardless of how ridiculous it seems. I do hope some people here weren't lumbered with pointless ones, that would be cumbersome to deal with.

[No, really, why Florida? It's all hot weather and humidity. Ugh. Mycroft idly swings his umbrella, not used to having to introduce himself to others in this capacity.]

Well, this should be interesting. Do feel free to introduce yourselves.

[ hello, this is a bright blue robot. ]

Pointless powers are not, in fact, unheard of.
It is entirely possible that you yourself have been given such a power.

permavid too!

[fraternalism]

[Mycroft just squints slightly.

Blue robot. That's new.]

I can assure you that mine has nothing pointless about it. It sounds like some were unlucky in that draw.

[heartlessglitch]

[ what never seen a weird blue alien robot before bro...... ]

How fortunate then.
You will not have to endure being lumbered with a cumbersome ability.

[ Mycroft Holmes huh... ]

Minor position in the British government, huh? How minor? [ A pause. ]

Sorry, that's rude. Welcome to Heropa, Mr. Holmes.

[Isn't it a great name?]

Very minor. Paperwork more than anything. [Good job it's not video, Mycroft's already rolling his eyes. Oh this place.]

Thank you for the welcome, Mr...?

[muttered under his breath.] I still don't see what's wrong with Florida...

[and then, at full voice.] Anyway, I'm sure some people would take the pointless powers over the dangerous ones.

voice forever~

[Florida is just too hot. Mycroft isn't going to swap his suit out for anything else, he's going to melt.]

I'm sure some people would. It's something good to tell the general public, as they would rather prefer to hear of that than what can destroy them.

[ What are the odds he has an odd name, an English accent, and his surname is Holmes? ]

Back in the City we had trouble getting any representative from the British government to open up those lines.

[ She sounds amused. ]

[Coincidence? The universe is rarely so lazy.]

Was there ever a reason for that? Or did Britain just point blank ignore you?

[Mycroft would definitely put money on it being the latter. He's just trying to imagine his own superiors trying to deal with this, and that's amusing in itself.]

Mycroft Holmes, did you say? What an extraordinary coincidence.

Voice

[fraternalism]

Really? There's no such thing as coincidence you know.

[ after a long day of surgery, john is surprised when he sees footage of mycroft holmes on the network. surprised and fairly miffed; he was the last person he expected to see here. it's difficult to stamp out the note of surprise in his voice, but he does manage to greet him with his usual flippancy. ]

Making friends, Mycroft?

[Oh look it's John. And if John is talking yet Sherlock hasn't said anything....

Well that doesn't take a genius to figure it out. Sherlock isn't here.]

John. I keep forgetting that's the kind of thing people go in for. Been here long?

[ fine, if everyone else can take this craziness in stride, she can, too.

casually. ] Veronica Mars. [ no pleasantries. she isn't sure it's actually nice to meet any of these people. ] I work for the local police department. [ which is hilarious, but tht's neither here nor there. ]

What's your new job, if you don't mind my asking?

[video]

[fraternalism]

[Don't worry, it'll get to Mycroft soon. Just not in public.]

A useful job. [Actually that is useful, it would be good to know someone on the inside of the force since Lestrade isn't around. At the question Mycroft just opens his notebook, leafing through it until finding what he needs.

And the wrinkles his nose.]

Community Event Organiser.

I hope you're a fan of seafood. You'll need a stomach for it around here.

[ He smiles, dressed business-casual because it's too warm for a jacket. ]

Maxwell Lord. Look on the bright side, Mr. Holmes -- at least it isn't Alaska.

[fraternalism]

I think I'll need to walk my stomach out of here if that's the case.

[One day Mycroft may forgo the jacket and roll his sleeves up. Today is not that day. At the introduction Mycroft just nods.]

I've heard even America doesn't like Alaska. It's a bit out of the way, but definitely an option.

[Oh finally, someone who understands that Florida is a circle of hell.]

Really, it's like they want us to flee at the earliest opportunity.

[Emma is blond, beautiful, and does not have a fake English accent because that is the dumbest piece of canon and I refuse to acknowledge it.]

[Isn't it just? It's all humidity and scorching heat. Just no.]

The weather is severely inconsiderate. I have no problem with leaving at the first opportunity to a colder state.

[Or even back to England, but even Mycroft isn't stupid enough to think that could happen without an issue.]

Ah, you're a government worker. Mind answerin' a legal question of mine?

You're welcome to ask anything. Go ahead.

I rather like the weather, it's far more to my liking than New York was, if a bit humid. But I'd gotten used to the City, so living somewhere so small will take some adjustment.

[fraternalism]

Where I'm from it isn't supposed to reach anything over 80F or drop below 30F. America is just a country of weather variants. One state here should fall within that criteria.

[ecphrasis]

[oh]

Mr. Holmes?

[is it even ok to call him mycroft she doesn't think so]

[fraternalism]

[This place is almost impressive if it thought to bring Molly Hooper in but not his brother.

Nearly.]

Ms. Hooper.

[No Sherlock to be a brat, this must almost be like a holiday.]
