♚ Twenty-Sixth Move - {Audio}

[faustianphantom]

[At first, there is the sound of coins being dropped, one by one, onto a hard surface. Then, Ciel speaks.]

Greed is a dangerous thing. One moment, you imagine yourself having everything and, the next, you have nothing.

[He sounds amused. This is a curse he knows well.]

Don't make your move without considering your opponent carefully. There are no rules in this game, after all. A hidden weapon or a surprise attack could await you around each and every corner.

[Especially in his mansion. Any thieves will have their hands full.]

I wish you good luck.

You sound like one'a those soldier guys!

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Do I? [Oh so amused.]

[wishgrant]

Mmhm! A general, I think.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

That's a correct analogy.

[wishgrant]

Are you a general?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

In a way, perhaps.

[wishgrant]

What way?

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

Young Master, I would highly suggest against encouraging the general public to steal. You may end up being their next target.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

They will do as the deities bid them. [He lowers his voice.] Can't you feel it?

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

...feel what, Young Master?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Greed.

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

If it's that, then yes. Even a small child can sense it in others.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Especially today.

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

Do you believe you will succumb to it as well?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I know the feeling well enough to not fall prey to it.

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

Then I need not worry.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

You almost make it sound like a challenge!

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Maybe it is.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

Then you should be careful. Some one might take you up on that.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

If they do, they will find a hard road ahead of them.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

Have you gone through the trouble to booby trap your house then? How can you be so sure it would be difficult?

[All said with a light chuckle. ]

Some people maybe used to breaking into things more highly guarded than your house.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Why would I give you any hints?

[He smirks.]

If they try, they won't come out alive.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

It wouldn’t be a hint for me, you don’t have a thing I want to steal.

[Clearly that is the only reason your house is safe from him. HAHA! ^,^ ]

I was just concerned about the wisdom of taunting potential thieves.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Is that so?

[...right. Is he so sure? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdglf3Tna0k&feature=relmfu) Ciel doesn't play nice.]

That is my concern.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

[The mun has seen Kuro I and II… Eagle not so much. But the Commander wouldn’t be intimidated even if he did know Ciel had a demon at his beck and call.

Once he sets his mind on something Eagle is unshakably stubborn about getting it. ]


Maybe you won’t be targeted then.

[You could get lucky. ]

Not everyone feels the need to run around stealing things today.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

[The point wasn't that Ciel has a demon butler. The point was that Ciel likes to play deadly games within his manor. He does not show mercy in such situations.]

That would be a shame.

Enough people do.

[mytechskeeper.livejournal.com]

Um, is it truly wise to encourage such things Earl?

[ooc: Do excuse her abscence since last week, she's been in hospital after loss of memory made her stab herself. She apologised in her latest post. ^^;]

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I'm not afraid of anyone.

[ooc: Aw! ;; /gives her flowers in Ciel's stead]
