♚ 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 mean- Lord Phantomhive!

Are you... I mean- obviously you're not alright, but...

[she was acquainted with our last Ciel if that's alright /o/]

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Have we met?

[Fine by me.]

[justasystem.livejournal.com]

Ah-

... No, I suppose not, actually. I apologize. I just knew someone... like you.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I can't imagine anyone who is like me.

What is your name?

[justasystem.livejournal.com]

- I am the Tianzi, of China, formally The Chinese Federation.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Interesting. What can you tell me about this City, Lady Tianzi?

[justasystem.livejournal.com]

In so far as we know, there is no definitive way out. The ones who claim to rule this place are several "deities". Every few days... we're inflicted with what we call "curses", that can be silly... or dead serious.

I- have a guide around here somewhere, it's old, but... still mostly accurate. Would you like it?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I would appreciate that greatly. [He pauses.] You said you knew me before. Were we allies?

[justasystem.livejournal.com]

Mm... allies would be a good word, I suppose. We had tea, sometimes.

Here (http://onetruejustice.livejournal.com/56099.html) is the guide. The information about people here... it's outdated, but. The stuff about the City itself is still valid.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Thank you, my lady. [Ciel bows slightly and takes a look at the guide.] I think having tea at some point would be nice.

[justasystem.livejournal.com]

Then... anytime! Just let me know through this device... and I'd like that. I could answer more questions, too, if you had them.
