[Phone]

Good afternoon, my name is Ky Kiske. For those of you who are new in town, I apologize in advance; this is not a pleasant place to be stuck in. However long you've been here, though, I find taking some time to relax can help relieve some of the stress, and as I've recently received some personal belongings, I thought I would offer what I could.

If anyone would like to join me for a cup of tea, I would be happy to oblige.

...On a similar note, if anyone has any suggestions for safely storing fragile objects in a... chaotic environment, I'd appreciate them.

[Action-- outside 341 Brady]

[He's got a lot of fragile objects to worry about storing, if the table he's setting up outside is any indication; there are dozens of different teacups (lovingly) arranged alongside a large teapot, sugar bowls, and pitchers of milk (not the Milkman's). He's got his girly crown on, too, evidently acting as an Official Representative Of Illyria (tm), and is smiling politely to anyone who passes]

Care for some tea?

[ooc: Sin might pop in on phone conversations ~~to make fun of Ky~~, so if you'd rather not get threadjacked, please say so! (if it's not already listed in a permission post or something similar)]

[Sherlock sighs with a hint of impatience. A lot like John, then.]

Okay, enlighten me, why does conversation make all the difference?

Maintaining hope.

[Sherlock scoffs.]

It's still sentiment.

[Sherlock doesn't believe in hope at the moment.]

What's wrong with sentiment?

[that's a problem because if Ky were in his normal clothes he'd literally have HOPE embroidered all over him]

[But since Ky isn't, it's not a problem at all.]

Sentiment is a chemical defect found in the losing side.

[Which, following his fall from Bart's and ending up here, simply proves to Sherlock how right that statement is.]

Not at all.

[He frowns at that, trying to wrap his head around how someone would even come to that conclusion]

It helps us get through the difficult times and find the motivation to keep fighting.

Well, we do agree on something... love is a vicious motivator.

[Yes, he is this logical, even if others call it cynicism.]

Ky, love? Yeah right.

[A snotty voice calls from the house's balcony- a younger man is sitting perched on the railing, an eyepatch over his right eye, but other than his clothes and a bit of a haircut he's nearly the spitting image of Ky.]

Figures you'd even have these stupid official 'functions' or whatever here.

--Sin.

[and he puts his cup down carefully]

I'm sorry, Mr. Holmes, I'm...

[and he's not exactly sure what to say to that, so he clears his throat awkwardly]

Sin, perhaps we should speak... later....

It's... fine. I have a brother, though not a twin.

[He looks from one to the other.]

Though, my brother would probably say I'm more like Sin.

Brother?

[Sin makes a rather insulted face, then hops off the railing.] ...I'm goin' to ma's house. I don't wanna deal with your dumb politics.

[and Ky looks particularly awkward and clears his throat again]

Ah, Sin is my son. And I'd hardly call it 'politics...'

[Sherlock sighs and mumbles.]

Son. It's always something.

[Sherlock is rather annoyed with himself now.]

Politics, military, whatever you wanna call it. You're still doing the same crap, aren't you? Building up allies and whatever, so you can fight.

[He then glances to Sherlock, almost as if sizing him up.] ...Don't look like much of a fighting type. [The idea doesn't cross his mind that Ky has anything but political or military allies. Or friends.]

It's not your fault, it's... complicated.

[Because it's easier to talk to Sherlock than it is to talk to Sin, unfortunately.]

--Sin, don't be rude.

[Sherlock shakes his head at Ky.]

It's all right.

[Sorry, Ky, Sin is more interesting at the moment.]

Mistake one, Sin: I am not an ally or anything else to Ky, save for taking him up on his offer for tea. It's impossible to get a decent cup of tea here, this was my experiment to test that theory. [He looked into the cup.] Quite correctly, unfortunately.

[Then he redirects his attention to Sin.]

As to my looks.... they are rather deceiving.

[It's really best not to test this.]

[He gives Sherlock a good long look, because he's not sure who other than some kind of masochist would deal with Ky's annoying ass for some crappy tea (not that any tea is very good in his opinion).]

[...Unfortunately, he also makes a mistake with the latter statement.] ..Oh yeah? So you're strong, then? [There's an aggressive glint to his eye that wasn't there before, and a slight but growing, permeating scent of ozone.]

[Yeah, he probably shouldn't try to test this- but Sin sure wants to.]

[Ky is, of course, acutely aware of these warning signs.]

Sin!

[in his best attempt at a warning dad voice, because don't go around attacking guests]

[and especially don't do this around the teacups]

[Sherlock didn't know the warning signs, but he knew that 'dad voice'... or on John it would be the "soldier voice."

God. What is it with all the people here. They see or hear one thing they don't like and the first thing they do is resort to violence.

[Sherlock is seriously thinking he needs to get out of Mayfield - now.]

[An accurate description of their world, actually. Fights start over everything from information to food to minor annoyances.]

[Sin starts at Ky's sharp bark- soldier voice indeed, even Sin knew it was the same sort of order-barking he'd give to his soldiers (and to Sol when thoroughly enough annoyed), and that was part of why he generally chose to ignore it, instead taking a step towards Sherlock.]

Hey, can't blame me for being curious, if you're gonna imply that you can take it.

If you can take it.

[He tries to goad, despite the low likelihood of it working.]

Sin, now is not the time!

[excuse you Ky only fights to arrest everyone]

I apologize, Mr. Holmes-- [if Ky speaks loudly enough, he can talk over whatever stupid thing Sin is going to do, right?]

[Sherlock gives Ky a curt nod. He ignores Sin, while keeping an eye on him. He figures he should at the very least be able to dive out of the way should Sin try anything.]

[He shoots Ky a snide smirk before he takes another step towards Sherlock.] What's wrong, scared?

[He quickly flicks his hand upwards, and a red spark flies quickly past Sherlock, just a foot to his side. He wasn't aiming for him, so much as to graze by him.] Or is your bark just worse than your bite?

Sin.

[And he moves forward pretty quickly]

Do not attack guests on our lawn!

[or, uh, at all, please]

[Sherlock isn't sure what the attack might be, but he's looking around. Luckily, the 1950s was a prime time for lawn ornaments. There are several around he could use for cover, shields or weapons.]

It's a simple preference. I'm already questioning if I am dead or not... I don't need to experience death in this place, thank you.
