[There's a short pause. And then...]

Why, hello there! I'm afraid that I'm not here at the moment, but you are free to leave a message if you so please. I might possibly call you back~!

[Specify IC or OOC, and feel free to bother Break all you wish!]

IC

[unfearful]

... I need to speak with you.

IC

[charientisms]

[...This isn't good. He knows that, just from this message.]

What is it, Mr. Dominic?

IC

[unfearful]

... Vincent Nightray asked me to deliver a message to you.

IC

[charientisms]

[ . . . ]

And what might that be?

IC

[unfearful]

'Off with her head.'

IC [1/2]

[charientisms]

[...He doesn't even--]

IC [2/2]

[charientisms]

...I see.

And what else did the Sewer Rat say to you, beyond the message you were to deliver to me?

IC

[unfearful]

Answer a question for me first: What does that message mean? Judging by your reaction, I'm assuming it's more than just an allusion to the story.

IC

[charientisms]

Oh, no, do not overthink it. He was indeed referring to the 'story', as it were.

IC

[unfearful]

[Dominic doesn't believe that for a moment.]

... Is that so?

IC

[charientisms]

[A smile.]

In a manner of speaking, yes.

[And that is all you're getting, Dominic.]

Now what might the Sewer Rat be plotting now, to so concern you?

IC

[unfearful]

... I'm to meet him for tea on Saturday.

IC

[charientisms]

Ah, but of course. Yet another tea party. And you are planning to attend?

IC

[unfearful]

At this point, I don't have much of a choice.

IC

[charientisms]

Because he is holding over your head a particular loved one.

Her name is Anemone, correct? If I recall correctly, she only recently arrived here.

IC

[unfearful]

[By now, Dominic is barely surprised that he knows.

More to himself than Break:]

Why did she have to say my name...?
