[At 5009 Apple Pie Way, there is a very plain mailbox mounted up against the front door which will be checked fairly frequently.

Edit: For the sake of continuity, as of his arrival in the Meadous and until further notice, Kid cannot see--so unless you intend to read him your letter or you write it in Braille, he's not going to actually be able to see it--he'll just know someone's posted a letter his way. Thanks to auto-translation, Kid will be able to read anything sent to him as it will automatically be changed to Braille while he is blind.]

[Luckily for Kid, the package he receives from Xanthous doesn't require any sort of reading! Hooray!

One day leading up to the season change, Kid will find a bundle wrapped in paper inside his mailbox. Inside there are a pair of mittens, a hat, and a pair of socks all knit out of soft wool yarn. It's cozy time, y'all.]

[While Eliza has been giving drawings to everyone, she knows that won't work for Kid. So instead, he gets a sheet of embossed copper foil with some heavier paper glued onto it as backing. The actual image shows Kid staring straight on at the viewer, and the background is made of several symmetrical geometric shapes. Eliza has also embossed her signature in it, but below the image she's done her best to write "MERRY CHRISTMAS" in Braille as well. The dots are probably somewhat uneven, but hopefully the actual words are still recognizable. There's another note as well, similarly done in handmade Braille.]

WOULD YOU COME TO THE CHRISTMAS PARTY WITH ME?

[This letter is simple and to the point, written on an older style of heavy stationary with a fountain pen.]

Would you consider yourself to know Doctor Watson fairly well?

Because I may need to ask a favor out of you. He's acting very unusual today and has moved his clinic to the hotel, along with the dog he and Sherlock have been keeping.

I'd like for you to check on him for me.

Something happened between him and Sherlock.

And yes, that's what I was counting on, actually.

Is being concerned for his safety not reason enough? There's nothing particularly advantageous about it.

From: [personal profile] exequies
Yes, you're correct. But I'm not asking you to do all of that unless you simply want to.

People are less likely to do something rash when there are children involved.

[Undertaker taps the nails of one hand on his doorframe in a small, repetitive undulation that belies that he's thinking. His characteristic smile is muted as he glances from his door towards the hotel and newly moved clinic across the lane, then focuses his attention back on Kid.]

We should speak inside. [Which isn't denying the accusation at all.]

I'll make some tea.

[It's bad.

He moves away from the door, leaving it open for Kid to follow him through. The inside of his house isn't well-lit, but what light there is is cast by dozens of candles and one gas lamp sitting on the desk at the far end of the room. Other than the desk, there's little furniture... aside from two coffins plopped haphazardly on the floor and shelves filled floor to ceiling with books, vials of chemicals and various funerary objects.

There's no rhyme or reason to any of it. Undertaker seems to live by the philosophy of 'if there's a space for it, it goes there before I promptly forget it exists'.

At least Monty had forced him to get rid of most of the cobwebs and dust that used to come with it.]


Suit yourself. No biscuits, either?

From: [personal profile] exequies
[The reaction is a bit unexpected for Undertaker, this version of which had never witnessed one of Kid's peculiar episodes. He blinks from behind his bangs, head tilting to the side in confusion as he pauses in shutting the door.]

Hm?

[He can't even begin to guess what is being taken offense to. There're... plenty of potential triggers.]

exequies: (gross)
From: [personal profile] exequies
[Oh dear. Hysterical or not, he seems to be having quite the adverse reaction. Undertaker's not well prepared to deal with something like this (as frankly amusing as it might be under normal circumstances) and just helplessly glances around at his front room for a moment. It is cluttered, he'll agree to that, but that's just how he likes it.

Bending down, he takes one of Kid's arms by the elbow and tries to offer a compromise.]


I just do, I suppose. Keep your other hand over your eyes and I'll take you to the kitchen.

[If Kid will allow himself to be guided, that is. It's in a much cleaner (and what looks like newer) state, separated from the rest by a thick curtain.]

exequies: (Too white and nerdy)
From: [personal profile] exequies
[He hasn't used the kitchen much yet, today. Aside from a small dusting of flour on the countertop and an unwashed dough roller, it's clean. The pots and pans are stowed and all of the cabinets and doors are closed, so as long as Kid doesn't go looking for disorganization there's minimal to be found.

Once he's closed the curtain between the rooms, he lets Kid's elbow go.]


See for yourself. I really don't know what's an appropriate surrounding for you.

[But it's the same kitchen that Monty had designed for him in Between, so it's... much more uniform, at least.]

From: [personal profile] exequies
Hang on--Before we get on to that, what exactly was that about?

[Watson can wait for just a few more minutes.]

[Undertaker continues to observe him as he cleans, quite obviously thinking to himself. But Kid does have a point; just one issue at a time, for now.

Folding his arms upwards near his chest, he leans his back against the wall next to the stove with a small sigh.]


Alright. Back to Dr. Watson... yes, you're correct. He's acting quite unlike himself.

[Undertaker continues to watch out of the corner of his eyes before he finally leans over and plucks the rolling pin by one end, tugging it out of Kid's hands. Then rolls it between his own palms just to have something to fidget.]

He hardly reacted to my tactics when I tried to make him angry. [Which he knows in and of itself isn't too much evidence.]

I glimpsed a particular look in his eyes, though. I've seen it more often than I've had any care to, particularly in myself. It's made me think that he may be close to giving up.

[Some of the tightly wound energy coming from him dissipates, glad that Kid isn't prying any further than that. There's not much else that needs to be said; Undertaker's intention from the start was just for the other reaper to act as a distraction from any darker thoughts that Watson might be vulnerable to in his state.

Especially if he's already made statements like that, before, which only confirms Undertaker's suspicions that Kid was the correct choice to call on.

He gives a nod, pausing in his fidgeting.]


No need to interrogate the man, no. Just keep an eye on him.

[He planned on doing a bit of that, himself, but having two pairs of eyes was better than one. Well, figuratively speaking, when his were barely functional.]

cw: self harm

From: [personal profile] exequies
[That question makes him blink once, surprised at the request but perhaps not as concerned by it as a normal person should be. He knows immediately what Kid intends to do and doesn't seem to disapprove of it if his next actions are any indication. Wordlessly, he sets the rolling pin down on the counter and pushes away from the wall, striding a few short paces to a kitchen drawer.

He pulls it open, rattling silverware and various utensils within it as he does so before he extracts--not a steak or paring knife--but a scalpel from it. Which he hands over to Kid with a hint of a smile and a small shrug.]


Cuts biscuit dough the best.

[He can't help but snicker a bit at Kid's reaction, following it up with,]

At least I have a proper oven and not a cremator for baking, now.

[And when the younger reaper uses the scalpel to stab himself, Undertaker appears indifferent. His own pain tolerance was stupidly high and he suspects that the other's healing ability is close to if not equal to his own. It's moreso the copious amount of blood dripping on the floor that he chooses to complain about, ironically considering his state of living.]

And good enough to leave more work for me~! Go off before you make a bigger mess of my floors.

[Merry Christmas, Kid! On the 25th a package will be left on his doorstep containing a skull collar pin. The tag attached has a very foxy paw print, three guesses as to who it is from.]
