Dessert 3 - Video

[Ciel seems hesitant for a brief moment before sighing. Should he really be doing this? Probably not.]

Has anyone been seeing anything... particularly odd recently? [Not naming any specifics, but he did just have a Footman die on him. B(]

It sounds like there's not much anyone can do to stop it; let alone myself.

[Unless his demon were here. He might be able to.]

You can keep from drawing attention to yourself!

[He'll apologize for raising his voice later. When he's not upset and still slightly traumatized. Why can't you be a normal boy, Ciel, and just stay away from monsters?]

[Slight rage face.]

You expect me to stand by idly after something like THAT.

Are you questioning me? [Eyeballing. Oh heeeeell no.]

[action ]

[identity profile] saythesnakes.livejournal.com 2011-04-28 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[He has had people get hurt because he didn't keep a close enough eye on people he's cared about before. Not again.]

Neither the snakes nor I could do anything against it! I won't have you hurt as well!

Just who the bloody hell do you think you are? [Speaking quite dangerously.]

How dare you speak against me? [Why hello defiance. This is not something Ciel cares for obviously. He's used to instant submission. In fact, he's not taking kindly to that at all.]

[Sebastian never showed defiance, damn it.]

[There's no verbal answer. Snake just glares right back, eyes narrowed. He doesn't care if he's hit or beaten or fire or anything. If it means keeping Ciel safe, he'll do anything.]

[That look is all he needs to see to set him off once more.]

What, you think you're the only one who's had a brush with demons? [How unlike him to lose his cool like this. It's obviously gotten under his skin. Oh hey, Snake. His eyepatch is coming of.]

[And what's under? Not exactly normal, is it?]

[action ]

[identity profile] saythesnakes.livejournal.com 2011-04-28 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
[The words alone are enough to make Snake's eyes go wide in surprise- they have these sort of creatures in their world!? But when the eyepatch comes off...

He's speechless.]

[Ciel seems to still have not really analyzed what he had just revealed.]

[But he stands there a moment, right eye glowing dully. I-it was about time he knew anyway.]

[action ]

[Finally, as the shock drains out of him, Snake takes a step closer, and then another and another. One hand jerks up before he forces it down again. He's curious, so curious and worried, but anxious as well.]

In.... our world...? That's why you truly wear the patch..?

There's a lot more going on there than you realize. This? [He points to the contract in his eye.] This is the result of a revenge scheme gone all but right. They nearly erased the Phantomhive name from the map. Only problem was that they weren't counting on me selling my soul.

[Ciel pauses a moment. Lordie, he's revealing things he probably should not. To date, Snake would only be in a small handful of people who know. 3, maybe 4.]

[Snake is silent still, staring down at the ground as his mind races. His friends are beginning to gather now, but only Webster and the viper brothers wrap around his shoulders, whispering and reminding.

Unaffected by Webster's venom, the deadliest Snake knows of... Quick enough to stop the fastest of his snakes in midair...]


Sebastian... Michaelis...

[action ] 1/2? Wry does he get so crazy sometimes?

Correct. Really, have you ever wondered where that 'I'm one hell of a butler' thing came from? [Stupid lame demon.]

[Damn that demon. Were he here, he probably would have stopped this, but... Ah well.]

Don't mistake me for that murderer. I have a damn good reason for this contract--one I will not be sharing today.

[Snake won't respond to that; the less he knows about this, the better. At least if he wants to keep his view of the world intact.

But while this is all very fascinating, even horrifying...]


While you may have a contract with a creature like that, we can only make use of what he have in the present, says Wilde...

[Translation: You'll still die if the Operator comes after you.]

[... Damn you for having a good point. That seemed to being Ciel back down to a manageable level, and he sighed, recovering his eye. It doesn't matter that Snake knows--it's not something he likes to have out there for the world to see.]

That's a more curious aspect of this. I wonder how much seeing that might deter this being. My soul's been claimed. [It might be slightly disturbing, how nonchalant he said that.]

Regardless, can we really let it just happen?

[It is, actually. Snake truly doesn't like hearing that said. For a brief moment, he looks uncomfortable before his expression fades back into stoic nothingness.]

...This place takes in humans and those not from more places than perhaps the mind can think of them, doesn't it? Is what Webster asked.

[action]

[identity profile] wherzmabutler.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Clearly, Ciel is not perceptive enough to note his discomfort. Or perhaps he doesn't really care? Who knows.]

I should think so. An undefined amount of alternative places...

[Ciel pauses, giving him a questioning look.]

What are you thinking? [Hmm. Interesting...]

[Snake listens to his companions; Goethe and Webster have always been better at putting words together.]

We are capable of nothing on our own, for we possess no particularly useful talents- at least not for this situation, Webster says. But there may be others in this city who are used to a creature such as the Operator, and would know ways to defend oneself against it, if not kill it.

...A mere suggestion, says Goethe.

[action]

[identity profile] wherzmabutler.livejournal.com 2011-04-30 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
And a rather suitable one it is. Finding the people who are most suited to this and actually getting them to agree to fight though... that will be the trick.

[He pauses.]

Perhaps we should hold some kind of gala that would draw out these talented individuals.

Shall we make preparations then, sir?

[action]

[identity profile] wherzmabutler.livejournal.com 2011-04-30 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hm, that's right, they'd actually need time to plan...]

It will take some time. Let's hold off for the moment. I'm going to see what information surfaces.

[action] ..Snake wants to threadjack that Slendy thread so hard.

[identity profile] saythesnakes.livejournal.com 2011-04-30 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Very well.

[He still doesn't like the sound of all of this, considering the last time he was on a SFC. But he'll simply bow his head.]

Would you like something to drink or eat while you respond to them?
