[ The full-throated growl of an immense engine can be heard preceding Garviel's arrival at the church, as he shows up riding a massive motorcycle, built so large and robust that the white-plated vehicle looks more like a small car. He stops it just short of the church, and removes his helm, looking up at Ciel. Was he checking in on her? Perhaps... but another part of him is here remembering someone lost as well. Someone Ciel also helped protect. ]

Ciel [ He says her name quite gently this evening, despite his thunderous approach, he seems inclined towards a quieter conversation in person. ]

[Kind of hard to miss with the revving of the engine. Nice ride, though she wasn't as big into vehicles as she was into guns.

So she'll simply blink and look down in mild surprise.]

Good evening, Garviel. [Pushing herself back up and hopping down easily, landing with a soft "thud".] May I help you?

[ He looks down at her, and nods, gravely. ]

Good evening. [ He looks over the church, and his fist briefly clenches. ] I came here to remember Aurica. I know that you knew her too. I would speak about her with you. It would be... a comfort.

[...

Yes, of course. The Reyvateil she herself helped and consoled on many turns in the last few months. The girl has been recently droned too, before Ciel could get to know her better.

Such were things as they are.

She gives a small but solemn nod.]

...Mm, certainly. Would you like to head inside?

-Here's Dizzy, a usual visitor, and player of pianos... And she looks a bit perplexed.-

Do you usually enjoy your meals on the rooftop, Frau Ciel?

[oh whelp she didn't think people would come at this hour

But rank E luck and all that jazz no there's really nothing surprising about being walked on...]

Ah... um. Sometimes. I do it very rarely, but it's nice, on occasion! [...t-think fast (??)] Can you fly with your wings, miss Dizzy?

Um... Actually, now that you mention it, Undine recently activated herself. I'm sure I have enough strength to fly now. -Wait, what? But the statements were made all the more confusing as the blue of the two wings suddenly morphed into the bust of a humanoid woman who whispered in words that likely only Dizzy could understand.-

...Undine? As in, the elemental? [Yeah seriously wait what? o_o The myth about Undine she's vaguely aware of due to random bits and pieces of scattered knowledge from Roa, but...

woah.

At least it didn't look nor feel threatening. There's something soothing about its grace, even.]

Is she part of your abilities, as a Gear?

[The back of the Church is definitely someplace few would visit. Marisa didn't have any interest in the structure, having extremely little knowledge of Western religion, but it was the flutter of red fabric in the wind that draw the witch's eye as she passed by on her broom.

Now what was Ciel up to? Curious, Marisa landed on the roof of the shed and then sat down on the edge, legs dangling over, as she watched the weird woman as she went about her tasks. It... it kind of looked like she was making a bizarre family shrine. Huh.]

That'd be the first actually! (So what if I shouldn't even be posting :V) expiatrice November 10 2011, 00:43:22 UTC
[Right and wrong, considering that one was at least part of her fake family. It's... pretty standard mage stuff, really. If Marisa doesn't make some loud disturbance, she'll just witness Ciel start and complete the Boundary Field. Once it's done, she'll most likely notice that it has the function to divert attention from whatever she just planted over there, that "bizzare family shrine" just set up moments before. It's pretty stable too, for a place that likes to screw around and make everything inconsistent as much as Mayfield.]

Ah, thought Garv got spot #1. LUCKY~ adropofjupiter November 10 2011, 00:51:13 UTC
[Marisa finds the process fascinating and, like the sneaky thief she can be, she stays silent. In fact, she doesn't even move. Now that she has her own warding magic back, her immediate thoughts are whether she'd be able to replicate it, already replaying over in her mind everything Ciel had done regarding the bounded field. Her own wards are never that subtle, but the witch really isn't the subtle type...

She has a question, but she's kind of curious is Ciel will even notice her presence. So she'll wait a little longer...]

he wanted to show off his bike but that would destroy any attempt at stealth checks :V expiatrice November 10 2011, 01:27:50 UTC
{Ooooh you're in for a chiding, >8T! No but really this sort of has some emotional values, so she's going to make sure it's properly complete and finish up first. It's visible too once she's finally done; her shoulders drop a bit, and she seems relieved.

...

...]

...Sheesh. People usually almost never come here too, but that's bad taste. Was it that interesting to peek at?

[After saying that, she'll turn around and look at the general direction of the presence that she finally took note of. Given that there was a time frame between her talking and turning around... Would Marisa have taken the chance to duck and/or hide elsewhere? Ciel's frowning a bit, but she doesn't look THAT put off. Her hands are by her hips, though.]

[Guess who was looking for you, Ciel? Guess. It's your buddy. Your buddy stuck in eternity's anguish with you. Funtimes.

What with her notdaughter slapping some much needed sense into her, she thought she'd pay Ciel a visit, knowing she's virtually stuck in the same situation. She knew Ciel hung out around the church a lot, although Mokou herself had never gone there before. When she found no one inside, she floated over the roof, and spotted the strange shrine.

It seems odd, to her. To erect something for someone missing. To her, at least, things like that were for the dead. Though even seeing graves made things painful. She takes a deep breath, still assuring that her useless left shirt sleeve hadn't come unknotted (because really, when you lack an arm, there's no real need for a sleeve), and took a step forward.]

Yo. Ciel?

[...!

She'll stop halfway done and turn around, blinking in surprise.]

...Mokou-san?

Surprise quickly turns into open frown. YOU WERE NOT MISSING AN ARM THE LAST TIME SHE SAW YOU?? >8||||

STOMPS WALKS CLOSER...]

Mokou-san, your arm! ...You went to the Post Office, didn't you?

Wow it's like she's

okay enough of the silence cries SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE THE CALM AND COMPOSED ONE! So to draw on that once more...]

Good afternoon, Tohno-kun. [She'd ask him how is he, but...

No, after everything, she can't greet him casually.] I apologize for such a sudden call. It must be surprising, especially after all this time. Are you busy right now?

Oh, hi, senpai. No, I'm not busy.

That's good, I was worried that I might be interrupting something. [Another small pause.] I'd like to ask you something. Would it be okay to talk, but in person sometimes, whenever you're free? [And Shiki may or may not get the feel that this talk probably isn't going to be a very quick one...]
