Neuf
[With all of Template's citizens talking madness about nightmares, manors, bruises and a strange girl, the Count's interest has been captured. That, and Albert's involvement. But seeing as this curious man could never find sleep, he is left to investigate Template's testimonies from a distance.]
Strange. Very strange... 'like a bruise, cold but ( Read more... ) -
Huit
[The Count paces restlessly in his study in obvious distress, arms tight around his torso. Albert's appearance in Template seems both a blessing and an omen. Did this mean there was a way Fernand would come to him, so he could finally extract his revenge, or did this mean...
Accidental second level here~]
How can it be... I can't possibly... dead?! ( Read more... ) -
Sept
[ Have the Count sitting in his study, reading War and Peace. He closes the book after a moment and smiles. ]
How interesting... such trials you have seen. Lelouch... was it?
[ And lo, the Count has just aqcuired a certain someone's memories. Quite like a movie in his mind's eye on fast forward, everything flashed before him. Now to put this new ( Read more... ) -
Six
[The Count is seated at the patio within the courtyard of his château, two empty glasses set before him and several bottles of wine in an ice bucket beside him. With fingers pent, he stares ahead of him at the foliage of the courtyard which seems cast aflame by the setting sun.]

I will leave this city or ( Read more... ) -
Quatre [ Masquerade ]
[It is now the evening of the Masquerade, and the hour has struck. The whole of Château de Monte Cristo is alight and stands out like fire in the evening darkness. The doors are guarded by two stewards who hold lists and commands from the Count himself. Inside, servers buzz throughout the mingling crowd holding silver trays of delightful and rather ( Read more... ) -
Trois
[The Second Level is now entered by the Count of Monte Cristo. Dressed in the formalwear accustomed to his country and time, he lifts a hand and bows before standing with posture only held by men of nobility.]
Madames, Messieurs, bonsoir. Please allow me a moment of your precious time.
[He reaches a hand into his breast pocket, withdrawing a golden ( Read more... ) -
Deux
[Accidental second level- Have the Count removing his coat and tugging off his gloves, only to find a strange Crown-like mark on the center of his left palm. He couldn't recall any burns or wounds that would cause this...]
...
Gankutsuou... do you still affect me even here?
[Slips the glove back on quickly, seeming a little cross in expression.]

Un
[In a city much more quaint than France in the year 5053, we find the Count of Monte Cristo. Of course, there is no Monte Cristo here to speak of. As anyone else would be, suddenly appearing in a foreign land with foreign people, the Count has some confusion about him. But being a man of little emotion, it is kept to himself.]
How fortuitous. I ( Read more... )
