♚ Fourth Move - {Text}

[faustianphantom]

I just felt a chill.

[A long pause while Ciel searches his room for possible causes.]

I never noticed a draft in here before.

[But something is definitely different.]

Though I know that you are loathe to speak to me - Doll? Have you noticed any - [What does it call it? Unusual is the wrong word for it. This place is always unusual.] - unprecedented changes in the city lately?

This feeling is familiar...

Who's "'im" when 'e's at 'ome?

My butler.

You aren't the sort that would attract them.

[innocentxcharm.livejournal.com]

Really? That's weird. I still wanna learn to fight 'em someday though.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Not really. Monsters feed off of - [A pause. She is too young to hear that.] negativity.

[mad-here.livejournal.com]

Fine. Difficult.

You make it --- difficult. Aren't you supposed to be just a kid?

[freckleddoll]

Oh. Bla... 'im.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

My age is immaterial.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Yes. Black. But I know he can't be here.

[innocentxcharm.livejournal.com]

Negative..? I don't like bein' negative. Does that mean if I make people positive then monsters won't eat 'em?

I have... someone I knew. She's tiny and ladylike and ---

Yes, he is arranging a play date ._.

[mad-here.livejournal.com]

...she's tiny, like you. I thought you'd get along.

[trolloboros.livejournal.com]

I'll be sure to remember that.

And?

. . . ohgod.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

What is her name?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Are you keeping track of the Earls for any special purpose?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

[He stifles a laugh.]

That isn't quite how it works. There will always be negativity in the world.

[trolloboros.livejournal.com]

I'm new here and I just figured that learning about the residents would be productive.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Hm. Is that all?

[innocentxcharm.livejournal.com]

But bein' negative's not good! Why would people wanna be negative?

[trolloboros.livejournal.com]

Pretty much.

[mad-here.livejournal.com]

She's real nobility, so... Duchess. She is the Duchess.

You're about the same age. Be nice to her.

[freckleddoll]

Why not? Anyone can turn up. Ain't sure 'ow you can feel somethin' like that though.

The last time I saw him, he was dead.
