♚ Forty-First Move - {Voice}

[faustianphantom]

I am disgusted by my actions. For those of you who were lucky enough to witness my - erm - transformation, I apologize for giving into the curse. I was perfectly capable of {not acting like a cat}behaving myself, but I - {He isn't even sure how to finish that thought. Sighing, he clears his throat and begins anew.}

I grow weary of the constant cursing and violent nature of this city. I am grateful that no one else from my family has arrived. They would only be more fodder for the deities' ill intentions. {Still, he can't deny that it would be nice to see them - if only for a moment.}

It looks like I will never be going back to London at this rate. I miss the city and its various sights and sounds. I miss my mansion with its garden of white roses. But, most of all, I miss being recognized by my title. My family's history is tied inextricably with the English Monarchy. Phantomhive is a name that nearly everyone in London is, at the very least, aware of. Here, however, ... {Ciel snorts derisively.}

Sebastian, if you can resist the urge to purr, I would like some tea. {Because tea fixes all ills.}

Are you unable of doing anything worth being recognised for?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I have done quite a bit, actually. However, people seem to be distracted by my age.

[bitesvampires.livejournal.com]

If you're truly doing that much, then I shouldn't have thought your age would matter.

Oddly, it does. [Add the curses on top and...] It's a wonder anything gets done in this place.

How long have you been here?

[bitesvampires.livejournal.com]

How old are you?

Just shy of a week. Is it important?

Some wrongs make a right, though, don't they? Or at least an opportunity.

Until now, if it's been, er -

[sparkling-by.livejournal.com]

A family history inextricably tied to la dee da...

[sparkling-by.livejournal.com]

- in a place where that doesn't matter, you can make your own name mean whatever you want, right? That's brilliant! That's exciting! That's amazing!

Accidents should never be considered "right". They are simply convenient on occasion.

{Oh how you make him grind his teeth, Tamaki.}

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I am more limited here. {Because of his age.}

Hmmm, that's what Mother would say too: something always holding him down, oh, the restraints, oh, the inconveeeeeeeeeeeniiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeence ~~~~~~~~~ !

[sparkling-by.livejournal.com]

After a while, you have to wonder: isn't everyone a bit too old for excuses?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't dare.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

It's not an excuse - it's a fact.

Zere was a storyteller earlier. Perhaps you could have a word with her to make your story more accessible, ja.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Accessible to whom?

[leviathanclaw.livejournal.com]

Those zat live here in the City. A chance for people to inquire should zey hear the name.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I was speaking of my life in London, England. It isn't my fault if they can't understand me.

[leviathanclaw.livejournal.com]

Zat is a problem indeed. One without an easy solution.

[Sebastian enters with the requested tea, a faint smirk over his lips.]

It is rare for you to express such sentimental thoughts, Young Master.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

{Ciel is toying with his communicator, switching between posts.}

Pretending they don't exist won't do me any good. Besides, others might feel the same way.

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

And what do you hope to gain in knowing that others would feel the same?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Nothing that you would consider of importance.

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

I would still like to hear it even so.
