♚ 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?

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

Until now, if it's been, er -

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!

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

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.}

[bitesvampires.livejournal.com]

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

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]

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?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't dare.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

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

[bitesvampires.livejournal.com]

How old are you?

Just shy of a week. Is it important?

[sparkling-by.livejournal.com]

Right, right! My bad!


Mr. Phantomdwarf is stranded and needs to be rescued. It's all right! I'll fight off the dragon for you, like a good prince, defending his sworn princess! But just so we're clear, you should really be wearing a gown for this part.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Technically, I'm fourteen, though aging is...strange here.

I have been here nearly a year. The longer you stay in the city, the more you learn about its quirks.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

{He sighs breathily.} Indeed.


I am no princess. Get that filthy image out of your mind.

[bitesvampires.livejournal.com]

Which is as common sense would dictate.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Yet you were making assumptions.

[sparkling-by.livejournal.com]

But Miss Phantomdwarf, think about your suitors -

[sparkling-by.livejournal.com]

Ah! That reminds me! I have to introduce someone to you. Have your best smile ready and don't be grumpy for five minutes.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Shut up!

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

...who?

[bitesvampires.livejournal.com]

And I'll continue to do so, regardless of how long I'm here.
