♚ First Move - {Video}

[faustianphantom]

[The screen shakes as Ciel tries to operate the - to him - foreign device. His pale fingers are wrapped so tightly around the camera that his knuckles are white. To add to this picture of desperation, the boy is clenching his teeth.

Oh and his hands are covered in blood.]

Where the hell am I?! [He shudders intensely, his one visible eye filled with betrayal and pain.]

I want answers now! [The only saving grace for the dear Earl is that he was able to change out of his nightshirt. But it's clear that he is only partially dressed.]

It's too bloody cold out here... [He stumbles and falls to his knees, dragging in short, pained breaths.]

I am Earl Ciel Phantomhive, owner of Funtom Industries! [He narrows his eyes imperiously.] It's blood. Now give me answers.

It's blo --

You can't say that so easily!

video

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Why not? It is the truth.

video

[mad-here.livejournal.com]

Did you injure someone?

video

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I wish I had, but no. I found a servant's body.

video

[mad-here.livejournal.com]

Someone with your attitude...

video

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Were you planning to finish that sentence?

video

[mad-here.livejournal.com]

Someone with such a bad attitude sounds likelier to have done the killing.

video

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

It would have been counter-productive if I had killed him.

video

[mad-here.livejournal.com]

Well, you... well...

[pause forever]

Well, fine. I guess. Maybe... It's a City that isn't Wonderland, and the weather can't be helped, so don't complain. Unless you're about to get sick.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Well what?

[Ciel turns away, releasing a sound that is strangely like a huff.]

I can handle myself.

[mad-here.livejournal.com]

...







You're going to be sick, aren't you. I knew it.

video

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Are you deaf? I said I could handle myself.

video

[mad-here.livejournal.com]

How can you handle yourself, when you can't even lie well.

video

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Who said I was lying?

[mad-here.livejournal.com]

I did, just now. Don't just pretend, when you don't like what you're hea ----

[this won't work. no, not at all. and the brat could be sick... sigh forever, then more calmly --]


...good day. How do you do? Are you still cold?

video

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

[Ciel has no idea what to make of this character. Smoothing his hands over his wrinkled shirt, he takes a few steps in the snow.]

Are you purposefully asking inane questions now? I'm miserable and cold, but surely you could have deduced that on your own.

[clenched... teeth...]

I'm trying to be polite. Are you allergic to hats or strong teas?

video

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Why? Do you pity me? No, I'm not. [He looks down.] I like tea.

video

[mad-here.livejournal.com]

Right... you could... stay with me for the night, I suppose. With me, and my stalk --- protector. But it's not a favour!

video

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

You have a stalker? That is the best offer I have heard all day.

video :: sob, it's okay, Ciel, you can stay with Alice until the Cheshire cat shows up :(

[mad-here.livejournal.com]

It's not an offer. It's... something.
