The Ninth Case ~ [Text]

[queens_guarddog]

As an English noble, I am accustomed to riding frequently. Since I arrived on the Thor, I have been unable to exercise appropriately. I do not wish to become weak or lazy - such inaction would be unbefitting of my soiledgrand name.

How do the residents of the Thor cope with such inaction? Are there other ways to exercise? [Without making

There's always taking walks around the park if you just want light exercise. And then there's the gyms, but I haven't seen those yet since I'm new here...

I have been walking, but that doesn't exercise the same muscles as riding. [A pause.] How are you settling in?

[sumireverse]

Oh! Not too bad actually. I actually transferred here from another refugee ship so I'm already used to everything.

[queens_guarddog]

Is that so? Do you have any memories of your previous world?

Re: Video

[sumireverse]

Thank you for asking at any rate.

As for my world, I do have them, but I was actually somewhere else that wasn't my world.

I realize that much. [Or does he?] You did mention you were on another vessel, after all.

My name is Earl Ciel Phantomhive.

Well, there was that, but I actually was on an island for a long while before that.

It's nice to meet you! I'm Sumire Takahana. And that's an important title isn't it...? Is there a certain way you would like to be referred to?

[queens_guarddog]

It seems like it has been some time since you have seen home.

Lady Takahana. [He bows his head faintly.] Earl Phantomhive will do.

Re: Video

[sumireverse]

You'd be right about that. [Laughs a bit] I've had my experience meeting people from different worlds for a while already.

[O-Oh so formal...] Earl Phantomhive it is!

I expect you will do well here. [Unlike certain Victorian Earls who have been struggling with their education and technology.] What do you prefer to be called?

Re: Video

[sumireverse]

It's kind of nice here after staying on island that's for sure.

And I'm fine with being called Sumire.

Video

[queens_guarddog]

What was the island like?

Very well, Sumire.

Re: Video

[sumireverse]

[Oh man...] Er. It was strange. To say the least. I mean, I've heard of what the ship can do regarding the Improbability Drive and all, but that island was something else.

It talked for one thing.

[queens_guarddog]

How can land talk? [He tilts his head.] What did it say?

Re: Video

[sumireverse]

We all sort of wondered that, but I don't think anyone ever figured it out. All we knew that it was omniscient to a certain extent. As for what it said... well, lots of things that never made sense and sometimes it granted our wishes, but in silly ways. [Sighs]

Now that I think about it, it was a really childish.

... [He frowns, clearly trying to find some reasonable explanation. Of course, there isn't one.]

I would be cautious about your wishes aboard the Thor as well. It has a tendency to transform the residents in whatever way it pleases.
