That's it!? Three days of endless hair and a sudden departure? No explanation offered. That can't be all there is to the story. There has to be some other ulterior motive behind th- ...

...more hair. On the keyboard.

SEBASTIAN! I want this all cleaned up by tomorrow! Not a single strand left

Of course there's some ulterior motive. This is the City and those, I believe, were some of the creatures who ranked above the 'deities'. You're not soon to find an answer for all that.

[phantom_earl]

It doesn't mean I will give up. Even if I have to face them myself. It is clear this is just another ploy to lure us into complacency before lowering the guillotine on our necks.

[misterblackbird]

Well, I said it before and I'll say it again: good hunting.

I'm after answers as well, but I think my methods are different from yours.

[phantom_earl]

How so?

[abdicate_you]

You believe yourself capable of understanding the motives of Gods?

[phantom_earl]

Gods and kings are no different. They thrive on having subjects to exert their power over. Without these subjects, there is no one to acknowledge them, rendering their existence meaningless. Why else were we brought here?

[abdicate_you]

Subjects are hardly that important. The existence of a god is a given, not something that needs to be proven.

[phantom_earl]

Power is obsolete if there is no one to fall victim to it. I can very well say I am a god right now, and would you believe me?

[justasystem]

... eew.

Mm. ... I'd like to think there was, anyway. Because if there's not... if means they just did it to be cruel.

[phantom_earl]

Another strong possibility, considering their track record thus far.

[justasystem]

... Unfortunately.

[phantom_earl]

And how do you find yourself this evening, Your Higness? Hopefully ...in a more sanitary state?

[cleanupaisle3]

Yeah, like givin' me work to do.

[phantom_earl]

And clearly it's not being carried out fast enough.

[cleanupaisle3]

Everyone's a damn critic.

[phantom_earl]

The solution is simple. Don't leave anything to be criticized.

[dreamsofnoah]

So curious~, Ciel?

[phantom_earl]

Annoyed more than curious.

[dreamsofnoah]

Did the hair bother~ you?

[phantom_earl]

It doesn't escape my notice that you seemed to be amused by this.
