♚ Thirtieth Move - {Video}

[faustianphantom]

[Surprise, Poly. Ciel is an adult. And he looks displeased.]

I thought I would be taller.

[Sighing, the Earl presses his lips together.]

Who else has been affected by this blasted curse?

I see that we share two things in common, sir.

video.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

And those two things would be? [Not like he can't tell, but it never hurts to ask.] Are you a new arrival?


[ooc: Hi! 8) It's okay. ♥]

[hollowedvessel.livejournal.com]

Just some days' past. And as I've seen from your previous entries, we have suddenly become a few years older.

video.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

It's...an "event". I've gotten used to such changes. [Though this is the first time that he is older.] My name is Earl Ciel Phantomhive.

[ooc: Ha. Hello, female!Ciel! Or...is he the male version of her?]

video.

[hollowedvessel.livejournal.com]

I guess that is a kinder way of saying that a curse is underway.

Oh. I am Chrome Dokuro, Sir Phantomhive.

video.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I don't like the idea of being "cursed", do you? [He looks away from the feed.] Chrome... That is an interesting name.

[ooc: Oh noez.]

video.

[hollowedvessel.livejournal.com]

This is an interesting one, and if it does no lasting harm... I don't mind it. But you are referring to it in general, so... mm, not really. If it was a rule of staying here, we have no choice but to subject ourselves to it.

A derivation of someone else's. To whom I owe my life to.

video.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

At least this event hasn't caused us undue harm. In fact, I find it rather entertaining in its own way.

[A small smirk plays over his lips.]

That person must be important to you.

video.

[hollowedvessel.livejournal.com]

Umn.



I am his to command.

video.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Did you forge a contract of some sort with him?

video.

[hollowedvessel.livejournal.com]

... no, no contract. He told me that he had a need of me.

And I went with him.

video.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

How do you know he won't betray you?

video.

[hollowedvessel.livejournal.com]

...

I am only a means to an end. If anything, what if I should betray him?

...

video.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Mm that sounds familiar. [He laughs quietly.] Do you plan on betraying him?

video.

[hollowedvessel.livejournal.com]

Never.

I'd rather kill myself first.
And you, Sir Phantomhive?

video.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

He will not betray me.

[In comes the butler to drop off some paperwork-- and then he stops short.]

...Young Master?

action

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Not so young anymore, I'm afraid.

[He smirks and reaches for the paperwork.]

action

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

...quite.

[He hands over the paperwork, sighing.]

Well, at least it is fortunate that you should not be staying this way for too long.

action

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

[Ciel looks confused at that statement.]

Does it bother you that I am this age?

action

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

Ah-- no, it does not. I only find it better for yourself so that you do not continue to be disappointed with your lack of growth.

action

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I have grown some. [He stands up and demonstrates this. All in all, he has filled out rather nicely.]

action

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

You did not seem satisfied with it earlier.

action

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I am hard to please.

action

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

[Of course. Sebastian knows this first hand.]

What height do you wish to grow to, then?

action

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

My father's height.

[Yes, he does remember small details like that.]

action

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

You still have a bit to grow, then. And there is no guarantee that you will ever reach that height.

[followyoutohell]

If you'll forgive my saying, that is quite the interesting curse, Master Ciel. I have seen others become children, but this is the first I've seen it reversed.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Becoming a child would have been annoying. [And it would have been a waste of time.] Besides, I always wondered what I would look like as an adult.

[followyoutohell]

And is it a satisfying experience to know?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Partially. I had hoped I was taller.

[freckleddoll]

Ye look tall 'nough t'me, guv.

video;

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

...Doll? [He peers at her curiously.] Freckles?

video;

[freckleddoll]

[she rubs at one cheek with a grubby hand] Don't 'ave any dolls, me.

video;

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Perhaps we should rectify that.

video;

[freckleddoll]

...what? [fancy English is fancy and unintelligible to small Doll.]

video;

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

[...poor bb.]

Do you want a doll?

video;

[freckleddoll]

[She looks uncertain - if she had something like that, wouldn't someone just steal it from her? But maybe she could sell it for food first...]

video;

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Are you interested?

video;

[freckleddoll]

What do I got to do fer it?

video;

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

You just have to meet me in person.

video;

[freckleddoll]

Don't think the others'd like me doin' that...
