Turn 16

[Voice + Action (for housemates)]

[For the record this is set during a less stupid time of the day, probably more like noon or something. Anyway, it begins with a short rap on the table before Ciel presses on.]

Those who were enlisted into service shall have already left by now, I presume. [A light sigh] A messy affair, to be sure. If their

[Bowser is in the house, in the entrance way, with a large platform... covered in spikes. Pulleys, cables, and switches are hanging from the ceiling and scattered about the floor. He seems to have quite the project underway.]

[soulbait]

[What is this nonsense doing in his front hall? When Ciel walks down the stairs after being in the study he makes note of it and... oh come on]

...My Lord, what are you doing?

[dakingofawesome]

[Bowser rolls his eyes at his ignorant minion.]

What are you stupid? What does it look like? It's a collapsing spike ceiling!

[soulbait]

[ . . . . . ]

...Are you quite sure that will be safe?

[dakingofawesome]

Of course it's not safe! It's supposed to kill intruders!

[Ugh... such incompetence.]

[soulbait]

And who is to say it will not fall on us? [Kill? Well he can't say he disagrees with the concept but really, Bowser?]

[dakingofawesome]

Oh, yeah. Secret switch to turn it off, right outside the front door.

[Hopefully Ciel is heavy/strong enough to press it down.]

[soulbait]

[...He foresees this problem. As he comes down the stairs]

...Perhaps a keyed lock as a switch would be better?

[dakingofawesome]

Yeah... yeah! Good thinking, kid! We could do that. Maybe hide the key in a secret passageway on the roof. Inside a chest.

[This is the best place for giant keys.]

[soulbait]

[OH COME ON]

Though perhaps some manner of short-cut for your minions would be in order? [Please don't booby trap his side door]

[dakingofawesome]

Of course! Every good castle... manor... thing has a secret side door. How else would we get our deliveries?

[soulbait]

[...Okay whatever. He just nods at this and makes a mental note to tell Lizzie and maybe Takano to never leave through the main door again. Assuming this actually works. He looks at the mess and then back to Bowser]

How soon will with his functional?

[dakingofawesome]

[Bowser looks around at his own mess. Hmm... without minions and doing this all by guesswork...]

Hey! You can't rush perfection!

[soulbait]

Of course. I merely thought that an estimate would be in order, lest we have other guests before it is complete.

[...If Lizzie decides to do something about his birthday, like he suspects she might]

[dakingofawesome]

They can use the side door, yeesh.

[How did he end up with the whiniest minion ever.]

[soulbait]

Are you sure it wise to so advertise the side-door?

[Come on he's thinking in their best interests]
