♚ Eighth Move - {Text}

[faustianphantom]

My classes are quite boring. I don't see what I could possibly gain from some of them, but it's not as if the school gives you a choice about such things. [Even though this is text, Ciel's irritation is practically dripping off of the page.] Once I graduate, I will be able to do what I want with my life; and, believe me, it will not involve sitting inside of a classroom for hours on end.

{Private to Sebastian;}

Give me your lesson plan beforehand. [What. a. brat.] Consider it a detailed syllabus.

Come now, Ciel-- if I did that, how would you learn anything?

private to sebastian

[faustianphantom.livejournal.com]

I would be better prepared.

private to ciel

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

That is simply another way to say that you would have an advantage over the rest of the class. You are to take your own notes now, Ciel.

[faustianphantom.livejournal.com]

Why does it matter how I get the information? As long as I have it, you needn't worry about the particularities.

private to ciel

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

As your teacher, I cannot do that.

private to sebastian

[faustianphantom.livejournal.com]

Since when did you worry about ethics?

private to ciel

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

Since my job depended on it, apparently.

private to sebastian

[faustianphantom.livejournal.com]

Who has to find out?

private to ciel

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

Nobody, but as I would like for you to actually attempt to learn on your own this time.

private to sebastian

[faustianphantom.livejournal.com]

[He sees what you did there, Sebastian.] If you put it that way...

private to sebastian

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

If I put it that way, what is your answer?

private to sebastian

[faustianphantom.livejournal.com]

I will do my best.

private to ciel

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

That is all I ask.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to see someone of a similar mind about school. I'm on my last year and I can hardly wait for it to end.

[faustianphantom.livejournal.com]

It seems utterly tedious. I wish I was on my last year.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

You'll be here soon enough. It goes faster than you think.

[faustianphantom.livejournal.com]

Apparently not.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Well, then, I suppose you have to suffer through it like the rest of us, then.

[faustianphantom.livejournal.com]

I might be able to make it easier on myself. I will just have to wait and see.

[deathbutler.livejournal.com]

If you can't see what you gain from your classes, then you're obviously not paying attention very well.

[faustianphantom.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't think to argue with you, teacher. [Have a super fake smile, Grell!]

[deathbutler.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad to hear it, my boy.

[faustianphantom.livejournal.com]

It would be improper of me to argue with someone such as yourself.

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

Ciel! Drop your books, it's manly time!

[faustianphantom.livejournal.com]

...manly time?

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

Joking around, roughing around, looking at the various beautiful women roaming about, and also eating a ton of junk food!

[faustianphantom.livejournal.com]

I...don't think those are proper activities for gentlemen, do you?

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

You need to let loose every now and then man.

[faustianphantom.livejournal.com]

I have a fiancee.

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

You can look but don't touch.

[faustianphantom.livejournal.com]

That would be the same as cheating.

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

It isn't cheating.

[faustianphantom.livejournal.com]

By your standards; not by mine.

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

Dude, did your standards come from the Dark Ages?

[faustianphantom.livejournal.com]

I was taught manners by my parents.

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

A little rebelling isn't a bad thing.

[faustianphantom.livejournal.com]

Rebelling is one thing; cheating is another.

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

You're not cheating. You're not kissing them, groping them, or having sex with them. You are only looking. Looking isn't physical.

[faustianphantom.livejournal.com]

Fantasizing about another woman is just as wrong. I don't want to impugn Lady Elizabeth's honor.

[orangetoughguy]

That's what everyone says. It don't always work out that way, you know.

[faustianphantom.livejournal.com]

It will for me.

[orangetoughguy]

What makes you so sure?

[faustianphantom.livejournal.com]

I make things happen.

[orangetoughguy]

You gonna give me an example? Tell me a story.

[faustianphantom.livejournal.com]

Why would you want to know my story?

[orangetoughguy]

Why not?

[faustianphantom.livejournal.com]

It seems intrusive.

[orangetoughguy]

What're you worried about? You make thinks happen, what do you have to lose?

[faustianphantom.livejournal.com]

I make things happen because I'm crafty. That is all you need to know.
