[when the Hitomi first turns on, there's just the view of a dark brown leather boot nudging at the screen. in time, the boot retreats, and the face of a middle-aged man hovers overhead. he leans over, frowning slightly and curiously

There are plenty of dogs in this place but at the moment you best try to stay away from them. This place is in a bit of an uproar.

[yes bad news right off the bat. Do you love him already?]

[Video]

[callhimbrother]

[bad news? what bad news? 8)]

Oh? Perhaps they're only lonely and in need of company, good sir. [a brief, light-hearted chuckle.]

An uproar, you say? My, has something unfortunate happened?

Re: [Video]

[redeyeslasher]

Oh yes. They want company. FOR DINNER. You have one guess what your role would be.

[come now. Surely you get his point.]

[callhimbrother]

[maybe he does, maybe he doesn't. who's to say..~?]

To provide the food, I'd think. What do you suppose they enjoy for dessert?

Re: [Video]

[redeyeslasher]

[Break has deemed you to be either a very good actor or an utter idiot. the two are tied in his mind for now]

Your eyes most likely. You see the dogs at the moment like the taste of their masters. Then again their masters have also...changed in various hellish shapes. I will give you a piece of advice, mister newcomer. Find shelter and stay there.

[callhimbrother]

[probably a mixture of both~]

Oh, how interesting. Unfortunately I haven't any eyes to spare-- I do need to see where I'm going, after all.

But I believe I shall take your advice, kind sir. An acquaintance of mine has offered to be an escort.

Re: [Video]

[redeyeslasher]

Then you are fortunate. In that case allow me to introduce myself. I am Xerxes Break, Knight of the Rainsworth house.

[Video | Private]

[callhimbrother]

And I am entirely grateful for his help. [..well. 'entirely' is a bit of an exaggeration, but details, details.]

A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Mister Break. [tipping his hat slightly in greeting.] I am but a simple Pierrot, but you may call me Mana Walker.

Re: [Video | Private]

[redeyeslasher]

[Video] oops, that shouldn't have been private'd.

[callhimbrother]

I did indeed, Mister Break. Does it interest you? [a slight smile. whether he'll answer further questions properly, however, is a chance to take.]

Tis Fine

[redeyeslasher]

It depends.

[elusive yet definitely interested]

Do you know of a charming young man by the name of Allen?

[Voice | Private]

[purgingthree]

[Oh no you don't.]

Be quiet about that for a while would you?

Re: [Voice | Private]

[redeyeslasher]

[that actually surprises Break this time. Oh? Why does he suddenly feel he's stumbled on quite the touchy topic? Oh how deliiiightful! You can't see it but he's Grinning, Cross]

Oh? How so? It's an Innocent question is it not?

[Voice | Private]

[purgingthree]

[He can hear it in the tone, and it irks him.]

I'd rather they don't learn about each other just yet. The brat's not in the right condition.

[And he would almost, a little, rather that they didn't ever meet but yet... quite not. He's not sure, really. Just not. Yet.

And when it does happen he'll keep a close eye on them if he can.]

Re: [Voice | Private]

[redeyeslasher]

Ho ho I see. Yet your intervention does answer my question to that man. They are related are they not. AFter all you would not bother yourself to contact me if he was a random stranger.

[you're just making him even more interested Cross. He loves complicated matters you know.]

[Voice | Private]

[purgingthree]

It's bound to come out sooner or later so that doesn't matter. They're not related though.

[Huff.

Good for him, but he's not likely to get much else out of Cross on that point. Not more than very short answers anyway.]

Just don't tell him the brat's here.
