♚ 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...

...I thought you weren't the kind of person who got afraid.

A draft? Maybe one of the windows...

[trolloboros.livejournal.com]

You probably have some rickety hole in a wall someplace.

[There's a wince on her end to see her name written there specifically - and yes, of course she still feels uncomfortable talking to him. She always will. But it seems pointless to stick to written answers now.]

...things're always changin' 'ere. Ain't sure what you mean.

A chill? Are you cold?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I never said I was afraid.

{ voice; }

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I have checked them.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Somehow, I doubt it. I have only noticed the chill today.

[He sighs and touches his eye-patch.]

I think I might be the only one that has noticed it. But what could that mean?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I am more disturbed than cold.

[trolloboros.livejournal.com]

Damage happens at random, don't you know?

[mad-here.livejournal.com]

It doesn't take saying.

[innocentxcharm.livejournal.com]

Disturbed? Why's that? Is somethin' wrong?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I'm not afraid.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

This is different.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I don't know for sure, but I feel uneasy.

[mad-here.livejournal.com]

...fine. I believe it.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

You should.

[mad-here.livejournal.com]

Don't push it, brat.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I'm only reinforcing your conclusion.

[mad-here.livejournal.com]

Why are you so proud?

[trolloboros.livejournal.com]

How so?

[innocentxcharm.livejournal.com]

...Maybe somethin' bad's gonna happen? Or there's a monster somewhere! I'd feel uneasy if there was a monster.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Is there any reason I shouldn't be proud?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

If I knew, I wouldn't have mentioned it.
