[At first, there is the sound of coins being dropped, one by one, onto a hard surface. Then, Ciel speaks.]

Greed is a dangerous thing. One moment, you imagine yourself having everything and, the next, you have nothing.

[He sounds amused. This is a curse he knows well.]Don't make your move without considering your opponent carefully. There are ( Read more... )

At least that bloody music has ceased. [Ciel is currently eating a parfait. He idly sucks on the spoon, obviously enjoying the treat; though his face is blank of expression.] What was the point of that relentless cacophony?

[He finishes his dessert with a sigh, setting his spoon down.]

Oddly enough, I miss the gatherings in London. [He doesn' ( Read more... )

[Oddly enough, Ciel is distancing himself from the mansion today. That becomes apparent when his communicator turns on and reveals that he is outside. Though he hasn't been walking for long, there is an odd pallor to his face.

Apparently the latest "event"/"curse" did not set well with him. Especially where a certain demon butler is concerned.] ( Read more... )

[This is new. Ciel is recorded mid-sentence.]

...add him to the list as well. We can't be too careful when it comes to these people.

[What is the young Earl up to, do you ask? Well, there is only one way to find out.]

I trust that you can take care of it, Sebastian. Consider this an order.

[The feed ends. Oh no, you don't get to eavesdrop ( Read more... )

Hm. [He then eyes the dessert Sebastian had brought him earlier. Somehow, that just wouldn't do. Pushing the plate away, he stands up ( Read more... )

[Ciel appears on the screen, looking disgruntled.]

OOC; 4th wall me, bbs.

Also, I've been sick all day. But I wanna play too! Which is why this entry is late. ;;]

[At first, the connection is fuzzy. The camera doesn't seem to know what to focus on but, then, a chessboard comes into view. On said chessboard are, of course, chess pieces. They are ornately carved and quite dazzling. On the right side, the white pieces shimmer. It's almost as if they have been carved out of glass or a clear crystal. ( Read more... )

Sebastian!

[A pause. Uncomfortable silence. And then...]

Just because I was away doesn't mean you had permission to shirk your duties.

[Someone is upset with the donation card.]

By the way, where is my tea?

[Ciel has decided that he really, really dislikes the games the City plays.

There is a bang and then a crash before the young Earl says anything.]

What the bloody hell is going on?!

SEBASTIAN!

[What? It's not like he's never been pissed before. But, for crying out loud, this has to do with food!]

Get back! [An old-fashioned pistol fires.] ( Read more... )
