oo18: [video/action for travel party] backdated to yesterday evening.

[useddestinybond]

[There's a clunking and then the feed clicks on showing a brief flash of orange a swishing flame in the background before focusing on the scene around the mysterious camera person. It's trainer, the adult human, was leaning over a fire stirring whatever was in the pot hanging over it. It would be meal time for the humans soon enough. Ellie was busy

[What a boring scene. Who would want to see those two ladies in the first place? They had little to offer besides temporary entertainment. He may as well turn off the feed now, and look for something else--]

[fauxearl]

[Okay the camera was moving. Moving was much better than just an awkward stationary image of women. Again, it seemed to provide very little information besides the fact that pokémon were terrible cameramen and should be kept locked in their pokéballs unless otherwise stated.

But there were so many interesting pokémon, he had to admit--]

[fauxearl]

[Wait. Wait, just a moment.

That young man looked much too familiar to be any random youth, coupled by the fact that those two young ladies in particular were in the area.

It was almost too good to be true! Could he really be seeing him? Was it really that bratty little noble once more? It had to be him, he could see that eyepatch, the dark hair that covered most of his face, that voice-- that irritating voice that could belong to no one but Ciel Phantomhive. He found him. He finally found that mouthy brat of a noble...]

[fauxearl]

[It was too much! Too grand! Too wonderful! He would have to commit to memory the name of that city, make preparations to move-- To think, Ciel Phantomhinve was in the very same region and not as some twisted illusion of Sebastian's.

Now, how to approach such a situation. He supposed the best way to go about it was to find out how much Ciel knew already. Alois wouldn't put it past Sebastian to say something about a certain "Trancy", but all the same Sebastian was a demon. Nothing would satisfy a demon more than to keep its master in the shadows. He carefully switched the audio on and kept his voice controlled.]

[audio] /DONE

[fauxearl]

It was an entertaining feed to say the least, sir.

[audio] sdkfkjkd ♥!

[useddestinybond]

[His reply comes after dinner as he is most certainly not so rude as to eat and talk on the phone, or the gear as it were, at the same time.]

I suppose I am glad to hear that someone got some entertainment out of that.

[audio] ♥

[fauxearl]

[He waits with an almost unnatural patience for Ciel reply and takes his time constructing his own. It wouldn't do to have Ciel think that he was anything but an heir.]

It would be difficult not to. Two lovely young ladies, a butler to cater to your every whim-- and even those creatures around you! I say, you have quite the traveling party!

Though I'm sure I've met the young ladies before, I haven't the pleasure of meeting you, young sir.

[audio]

[useddestinybond]

[He's about to ask when he had the pleasure of meeting the girls when the word 'butler' catches his attention. How on earth did this kid know Sebastian was his butler. Certainly he was dressed nice, and brought them food, but Ciel gathered that in this world that didn't necessarily denote butler.]

Thank you for your compliments. Though I'm curious, what made you think Sebastian was my butler of all things and not just another traveling companion?

[audio]

[fauxearl]

[He expected a question about the women-- which he would have been more than eager to answer, but Ciel's present question surprised him. Leave it to the young Earl to latch on to a much more pressing issue.]

Isn't it proper to assume that a man obeying the orders of a young boy could be nothing more than a member of the serving class? Where I am from, such a thing would be the only conclusion.

[audio]

[useddestinybond]

That may be, but he wasn't obeying any orders in this video entry. In fact, he outright challenged the only thing I said to him.

[Nice try Alois.]

[audio]

[fauxearl]

He still did it-- and you don't have to worry about maggots crawling around your food. It's bloody unlikely that he'd want to poison his master. Isn't that right, Ciel?

[Somehow he finds the situation very funny~. There was a chance that Ciel did remember him, unlike a certain fiend.]

[audio]

[useddestinybond]

[Well that was enough to answer a couple of question but raise several new ones. While it was possible that this boy had read his name in the corner of the gear on the video post and that was how he learned his name, Ciel got the idea that that wasn't actually the case.]

Who are you?

[audio]

[fauxearl]

[This joke had gone on long enough. He had enough of whatever game Sebastian was trying to pull. It wasn't so bad if the demon pretended he did not exist but by no means was it fine if Ciel were playing along.]

What kind of question is that, Ciel?

[audio]

[useddestinybond]

[The scowl on his face can be heard in his voice.]

Quite a simple one I thought. Perhaps I misjudged your intelligence however.

[audio] --> [video]

[fauxearl]

[Perhaps he cannot recognize his voice. Perhaps that's all there is to this deceit. Alois makes an indignant sound before switching their conversation from audio to video.]

I never thought you'd be one to play games, Ciel. [Here he smirks, a simple twist of the lips that may easily turned into something more sinister.] Not you, Earl Phantomhive. Never you. The dead may roll in their graves before the Earl even so much as smiles. [His expression makes that awful turn and Alois begins to laugh, his whole body shaking with the action.]
