♚ First Move - {Video}

[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 was wondering if you'd think to extend the recommended healthy skepticism to myself as well. Excellent.

There are twelve buildings arranged in a circle around the outer part of the City. Standard procedure is to just walk in and claim an empty room, when you're ready to establish more permanent residence.

Everything is a game. I couldn't possibly hope to win if I left such an obvious opening.

Mm.

Nor can you advance without accepting that you'll have to sacrifice a few pawns along the way.

Interesting.

I have fewer pawns to spare here, but I'm sure that will change given time.
