[The entry is written, nice, neat handwriting.]

[Filtered away from those with innocent minds]

It has come to my attention that a dominatrix of particular note has come to reside in the castle. If one has a particular interest in her skills I would seek out Sherlock Holmes.

Though I would not ask for practical information, as I fear even her talents, would be lacking in attempting to persuade him to take part in that. However if she has I would be particularly interested in hearing how she came to do such a thing.



[This filter is written in some time later after the first part.]

[John Watson]

I do apologize for the trouble Sherlock may have caused you after that, particularly trying weekend.

[It's a start.]

((ooc: AND OPEN over the journal. Free for thread jacking for that first filter as Mycroft's really just looking to cause trouble. Who can see that is up to you as well.))

It is my home as well, and that of Sherlock and Dr. Watson. [He is totally serious here, yup.] Though it is a pleasure to meet another to be certain.

And I do a lot of traveling as well, my, office sees me home very little it sometimes feels. And when I am home I am rarely ever free, a thing I do believe you may understand.

Mycroft Holmes

Their accents kind of give me a clue into that. [Okay, so she's teasing a little.] But yes, it's nice to meet someone who is from the same part of the world.

I do understand completely. I didn't really get a moment to myself back home when I was put in charge of my father's business. It was always go, go, go and never seemed to stop once.

Yes I can imagine it is, it is very rare when I meet another person from the same country outside of my work, when I travel. [Except for his assistant but it happens.]

Indeed, though I rather enjoy it. The, work that I do is very rewarding. [Such a liar Mycroft, it's rewarding because it's all secrets and desk work full of mysteries and lies and intrigue.] Though I would much rather the work than to be left in the country with little to do. [Which explains the journal entry yes?]

Mycroft Holmes

[formersocialite]

Overall, the work I do is worth it but there are times when I wish I could take a month off and just go somewhere quiet so I can find some peace. Don't you even wish for that just a little? Be honest.

[Now she's curious about what his job exactly entails but she has a feeling that he won't tell her.]

Vivian Volkoff

[isbritishgov]

No actually. I find that the little bit of quiet time that I have, when I am home is all that I need. Prolonged quiet, bothers me a great deal.

[And no he's not going to share, it's top secret sorry to say.]

Mycroft Holmes

[formersocialite]

You seem to be awfully calm for someone who only requires a little bit of downtime, Mr. Holmes. Are you just the type who likes to do as much work as possible?

Vivian Volkoff

[isbritishgov]

I am a Holmes, Ms. Volkoff, there are some things that seem to run in families. [And yes that is an admission of relation to Sherlock.] And what little downtime I indulge is done in my club, to better, enjoy the silence that such a pause in work allows.

Mycroft Holmes

[formersocialite]

[Although she wouldn't admit it, Vivian was like her father in some ways.] You're part of a club? Let me guess, it's probably one of those very exclusive types. My father was in one.

Vivian Volkoff

[isbritishgov]

[Nothing wrong with that, Mycroft likes her and him if she's anything like him.] The Diogenes Club is exclusive, if only because of the requirements needed for membership. Though what club was your father a part of?

Mycroft Holmes

[formersocialite]

I can't actually remember the name. It was such a long time ago when he was a part of a club. Then he got wrapped up in business. [She's not going to reveal too much of course.]
