{Private to Sebastian;}

Sebastian, do you know a boy by the name of Alois Trancy? He claims that I injured him and that he is my enemy. I do not recall him in the least.

{Private to Cain & Merry;}

I trust that both of you have survived this latest curse? I heard a rumor that people might lose their heads. That sounds quite unpleasant.

{Private to Alice;}

You have been awfully quiet lately.

How irritating.

Do you mean the curse?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Amongst other things.

[mytechskeeper.livejournal.com]

I know it might be hard to believer Earl but worse things have happened here. No one's going to die from all this permanently at least.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

That isn't what's bothering me.

[mytechskeeper.livejournal.com]

Can I ask what is then, unless it is too personal a topic?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Someone claims to know me, but I have never met him.

[mytechskeeper.livejournal.com]

From the City? Or do you mean your home world Earl?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

My home world.

[mytechskeeper.livejournal.com]

Well in that case it is very much possible for this person to know you but you have no recollection. If he is being truthful it could be that he has been brought here from a future point in your world's timeline. You may not remember him because from the point in time you arrived here from, you haven't met him yet.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

If that is the case, he still poses a problem.

[mytechskeeper.livejournal.com]

How so?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

He is an annoyance. [So vague.]

[mytechskeeper.livejournal.com]

He wouldn't understand if you explained how you haven't met him yet? [She's not one to pry, don't worry.]

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Probably not. He doesn't seem sane.

[mytechskeeper.livejournal.com]

Oh dear...He's not a threat I hope?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I haven't decided yet.

[mytechskeeper.livejournal.com]

I hope you don't have to find out. It's hard enough to deal with events here as it is, nevermind adding personal conflicts into the equation.

Unfortunately this city has a way of forcing people to deal with such matters...

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I will deal with him in my own way. I don't foresee him causing too much trouble. [As long as he has Sebastian with him, of course.]

[mytechskeeper.livejournal.com]

On his own perhaps, I just hope a curse doesn't give him any oppertunity. Still I imagine you're very capable Earl Phantomhive.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Of course I am. You needn't worry about me.

[mytechskeeper.livejournal.com]

I know, I'm afraid I just tend to worry out of habit, at home it's usually warranted.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

It's best to live like that, I suppose. Tell me, would you like to work for me in the future?

[mytechskeeper.livejournal.com]

I'm sad to say it's been quite necessary for me at home, but things can get better I'm sure.

[Colour her surprised by that question, but she's quite happy nonetheless.] If you think there's something I could do, then I'd be happy to work for you.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

What is your home like?

[He will need the help soon enough. 8|] Tell me about your talents.

[mytechskeeper.livejournal.com]

The last time I was there, not in the best state. We...had just gone to war in a sense.

[She just can't believe he'd ask her out of the blue is all] Well apart from the general domestic tasks, cooking, cleaning and sowing, I have some forms of combat and weapon experience. [Yeah still self-conscious about freaking people out about being a living weapon.]
