[Ciel, now with his butler returned and recovered from all of his various misadventures since then as well as his wounds and his wits... well, now he's just starting to feel strong and confident and bored once more. He figures it is high time that he attempted at appealing to what amounts of a "society" here. One popular means of ( Read more... )

Year of Twenty-Two Oh-One. Kind of makes me one of the younger folks 'round here.

[And yet the voice is from an older gentleman. Guh, this time thing is perhaps more complicated than he had imagined: more than three hundred years into his future?]

[Voice] soulbait October 4 2010, 23:50:55 UTC

Quite a ways into the future, from my perspective.

[Voice] moonlightoutlaw October 4 2010, 23:54:39 UTC

The glorious space age and all that. What were you guys doing in your time? Running each other through with spears still?

Two-thousand-and-four.

[Friendly tone, but little else than the numbers is actually voiced.]

[voice] soulbait October 4 2010, 23:42:10 UTC

My. The world must have changed dramatically in such an expanse of time.

[voice] slaying October 4 2010, 23:46:35 UTC

[dat accent.]

My guess is that the British didn't really change much at all. Your countrymen will still be overdosing on tea and tweed centuries from my time too, I bet.

[Oh, Buffy. Why so cavalier about the British.]

[...Oh that rancorous sentiment. She doesn't seem to have a French accent, but to be sure-]

...Quite.

It was the year of eighteen hundred and forty-nine before I was returned to Luceti. I would hope that answers your question?

[He cannot for the life of him recall when Chopin died. Perhaps this was in the ballpark but... he'd look it up at some later date]

It would indeed Mr. Chopin. Thank you for sharing.

[ voice ] refinedmaestro October 5 2010, 00:06:12 UTC

You're most welcome, Mister Phantomhive. Although if I may have the pleasure of asking, how is life during your era? Has much changed? I know you are only a couple years into the future for me, but I would rather like to know.

[ voice ] soulbait October 5 2010, 00:23:40 UTC

Much can change in four decades, Mr. Chopin. Particularly in an age of progress such as the one we find ourselves in now. Her Majesty's Empire alone has grown much in both power and prestige.

Twenty-two fifty-eight.

[ voice ] soulbait October 4 2010, 23:58:58 UTC

Indeed? [He can't hide the surprise in his voice, but he does do his best to minimize it]

The world no doubt has changed dramatically in that time.

[ voice ] hippocraticly October 5 2010, 00:06:53 UTC

Yeah, it has. Humanity would be a damn sorry sight if nothing had changed in over three hundred years.

[ He knows that he's probably violating the prime directive talking about, but he doesn't really care. ]

[ voice ] soulbait October 5 2010, 00:19:27 UTC

It would indeed. [A beat] Bearing that in mind... perhaps you might indulge me with a vision of the future.

Two thousand and two. I can certainly understand the curiosity.

soulbait October 5 2010, 00:00:18 UTC

I would be truly surprised if you could find a man not curious about the future.

[...Even if he himself doesn't care all that much]

[Written] consultmybooks October 5 2010, 00:02:17 UTC

As would I.

But my curiosity has been quite satisfied.

Anything in particular you wanted to know?

[Written] soulbait October 5 2010, 00:06:51 UTC

[He has prepared for this. Might as well focus on the obvious]

If there is more you are willing to indulge me with. [A few taps of his pen later-] Might you tell me how history remembers a criminal known as "Jack the Ripper?" [If at all]
