♚ Third Move - {Video}

[faustianphantom]

[Ciel turns the recorder on and stares into it blankly. He is fiddling with the blue diamond ring on his thumb absently, clearly weighing his words before he speaks.]

Surely there is someone in this City that can offer a passage home. I can give you payment of a sort.

[He sighs, his expression not flickering in the least.]

Sutcliff, I would think that someone of your caliber could give me what I want? [A small smirk quirks his lips.] Or are the stories surrounding the Death Gods myths?

[Sitting back in his chair, the Earl lifts a single candle. The flame flickers as if it is about to go out. With a barely noticeable exhale, Ciel ends its short life, cooling the wick. Darkness enshrouds Ciel as he lowers the now useless candle.]

Why, would you look at this? The young Lord Phantomhive seeking such a person as I?

I imagine your dear Aunt might be rolling in her grave ♥

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I do not want to speak about her. [Because it hurts too much, but he won't mention that.] Can you help me or not?

[deathbutler.livejournal.com]

I wonder~

[deathbutler.livejournal.com]

If only Sebas~chan were here!

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

He won't be coming.

[deathbutler.livejournal.com]

Which is a pity- because I much prefer dealing with him to dealing with you, you know~

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

He's dead. How many times do I have to say that?

[deathbutler.livejournal.com]

The idea of someone besides me killing him doesn't sit very well, I'll say!

[deathbutler.livejournal.com]

But even if he is! The dead can still arrive here~!

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I'm not counting on him arriving. As far as I'm concerned, I'm alone.

[deathbutler.livejournal.com]

Oooh, what a lonely little picture...

Don't say it too loudly, though, little Phantomhive. There are more than death gods about~

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Do you honestly think I fear them? I know how to keep myself safe, Sutcliff. Now, back to the beginning...

What do you know about escaping from this god-forsaken place?

[deathbutler.livejournal.com]

Name what you're supposedly offering me, boy?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I think you should name what you want besides Sebastian.

[deathbutler.livejournal.com]

You're asking.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I am asking for your help in exchange for something you want.

[deathbutler.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm~

Anything, I want, then?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

That is what I said.

[deathbutler.livejournal.com]

... but not Sebastian.

[whoistheother.livejournal.com]

Passage home?

Doesn't everyone here want that?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Maybe they are not ambitious enough or cunning enough to get it.

[whoistheother.livejournal.com]

Maybe you're not asking the right people.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I think I am.

[whoistheother.livejournal.com]

And have they granted your wish?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

He is -

always difficult.

Never you mind.

[whoistheother.livejournal.com]

Very well, then.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Tch.

[dreamsofnoah]

Grell likes it better when people say please~ when they want something from him.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

That won't work for me.

[dreamsofnoah]

But you won't get very far without manners, will you?

[contaminations.livejournal.com]

Good luck.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I won't need it.

[contaminations.livejournal.com]

Because no one's tried this before.

[deathbutler.livejournal.com]

Actually, no one has asked this death god~

[contaminations.livejournal.com]

Shut up.

[She hesitates to say anything at all, but...]

I think if anyone knew a way out they'd 'ave left already.

[mytechskeeper.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid if it was that simple there wouldn't be so many who had to stay here for so long.
