Warnings: Lyney's dramatic ass

[So, what comes up on the network isn't actually any words, but a picture. A big, obnoxious picture, with some text superimposed upon it. The picture is then followed by several others, all depicting a similar theme, and similar motif:]



[Following the pictures is a morose-reading text from a certain magician.]

To think, after two whole years apart, my own sister refuses to acknowledge me! I simply wished to spend time with my dear sister! Oh, the humanity..! My dear sister, if you can see this, please reconsider your cruel and coldhearted decision! Your brother misses you so!

[Sure he may have been a little overbearing with her, checking in on her a bit more than was necessary, but he had missed her! Being blocked on the Shellphones was hardly fair, in Lyney's humble opinion! He clearly didn't do a single thing wrong!]

[...Okay no he may have been quite annoying and irritating to his introverted sister and pushed her to block him because of his overbearing-ness, but like hell is he admitting that.]

I think it got a little lost in him almost drowning.

And it's not like I told him what happened between the two of us on Norhpip either.

[You know, the part where you left him to die, Lyney?]

[spectacleofphantasmagoria]

[And now back to Alhaitham.]

I do give her privacy! But it's been two years since I saw her! Is it so wrong to want to make up for lost time?

[tilfrosset]

Fontaine must be...

[There's no way to politely say this:]

...exhausting.

[astudyinviolet]

[ Alhaitham is good at getting Sherlock to take care of himself. Somehow. ]

Good Lord, how did I end up with three fathers who are about ten years older than I?

I should get Heizou on the case. Lyney can be his Watson. And Miss Lynette can get some peacekj;l'

[ He sneezed again. 8( ]

[empyrean_mirror]

I'm afraid I'm not exactly an unbiased source on the matter.

[empyrean_mirror]

I'll send him up with more soup and tissues.

[empyrean_mirror]

Three?

[spectacleofphantasmagoria]

The way you talk about her makes it sound like I starve her!

[He shakes his head. What stories has Lynette been sharing??]

You see, we're stage performers. Magicians, to be specific. Some of our tricks require us to have the same physique, so it's important for us to share the same physique. I do the same, for the record! And it's not always easy to limit how many fried foods I eat...

[Even he's not immune to the allure of fried fish, after all.]

[chatteblanche]

but i don’t know what those ways are

[ She forgot how to. ]

[chatteblanche]

i haven’t figured out how to

[chatteblanche]

it’s nice to meet you too

also, my brother is making this to be a much bigger deal than it is. there’s nothing to rectify except for maybe his ego.

i’ll make him buy me cake later to make up for all of this.

[chatteblanche]

you should listen to him.

Re: action

[chatteblanche]

Oh, that would be great.

[ She slides her phone over to him. Don’t mind the cracked screen. ]

[spectacleofphantasmagoria]

[Ah yes, he remembers that.]

Yes, I remember that. And I am still grateful to you that you forgave me for that.

But even if Alhaitham struck to kill, I don't hold it against him. It's in the past, and neither of us were at our best. I'm willing to move on and be friendly with him. I just don't know how to get him to do the same.

[chatteblanche]

you can just come over to my room if you want to talk

although i’m at the cafe right now

[tilfrosset]

Now my curiosity is piqued. I must ask why you say so.

action

[empyrean_mirror]

[He does notice it but...well, one thing at a time.

He'll set it to vibrate easily enough, so all calls and notifications just make the phone buzz. And then slides it back over.]

I'm pretty good with these by now, so if you have any questions about them, I'm always happy to help.

[astudyinviolet]

Perhaps something to read? After all the times I've been ill as of late, I've exhausted my entire librakj;lfdg

[ Well, maybe that is one way Lynette can catch a break. Become a distraction for her brother. This makes perfect sense in his addled mind.

Can he also have some hugs? ]

[spectacleofphantasmagoria]

But it's been so long since I've seen her last!

You see, I've been in this world for almost two years now, but Lynette only arrived here within the last two months. I just want to make up for lost time.

[chatteblanche]

thank you for understanding sherlock

[spectacleofphantasmagoria]

I tried that, and you had already left! I thought you had been purposefully ignoring me!

action

[chatteblanche]

Thank you. My ears are much too sensitive for the constant pinging.

I’m pretty awful with machines, usually. I only barely figured out how blocking someone works.

[empyrean_mirror]

the more you actively try the more he's likely to see it as fake. That's probably how he's felt the entire time.

But if you thought he was a rational and logical man, I'm afraid you have been tricked. He is stubborn and deeply petty--I don't think the specific incidents bother him much anymore specifically, so much that he's cranky for the sake of being cranky.

[chatteblanche]

i was. but i’m not now.

did you want to do something specific?

action

[empyrean_mirror]

...Is that what happened to the screen?

[Kaveh smiles a little ruefully.]

I don't mind fixing that, too, but that might take me a little longer.
