Memory ღ 3. [In person]

[photogenickitty]

[After hiding out for his first week, Ritsuka has finally become restless. Curiosity getting the better of him he decides to take his new body out for a test drive. The first half of his day he spent indoors for obvious reasons, a good part of it is spent in the library looking for a book on vampires. He gets one named "Vampire Myths and legends"

[Aidou loves being outside at night, or just around at night in general, but he stops walking about the gardens as he spotted what appeared to be a boy, flapping his arms like a mad man, with cats ears. Aidou realised just who the boy might be, that werecat person he spoke to once before about vampires.

Though what exactly the boy was doing he had no clue whatsoever, but whatever he was doing it made him look stupid. Coughing slightly he tried to get the boys attention.]

What are you trying to do?

[photogenickitty]

[Mid hop Ritsuka hears the cough and stumbles, letting out a started "eep"!]

A-ah, hi! Me? Oh... I'm....

[He manages to catch his balance and whips around to face his audience.]

Testing a theory... [Yes... that sounded far less humiliating.]

[controlstheice]

Testing what theory.

[He had an idea of which one, but he wasn't going to say otherwise.

[photogenickitty]

Ah... [Wait... he recognized this guy and that voice.]

...I was... seeing if I can turn into a bat... [He realizes how dumb it sounds the moment the words left his lips and quickly turns away from the man before the embarrassed look could fully form on his face.]

[In Person... in Sebastian's room... oh dear...]

[demon_andbutler]

[Sebastian doesn't spend much time in his room. As butler to a manor that now has over sixty people, he is quite busy throughout the day. And at night while the others are tucked away snugly in their beds, he usually spends time on the roof or elsewhere, surveying the place for threats or anything else interesting.

There are reasons to return to his room, however. The stack of poorly folded dress shirts he rescued from Meirin's washing job is one of them. They need to be pressed and his room is where he's left the iron. The thought of a servant of Phantomhive wearing a wrinkled shirt is downright appalling. That's what his mind is on as he enters his room - he doesn't even bother to lock it, as there's nothing of value in there.

The room is simple enough, a replica of his servant's quarters at Phantomhive Manor; wooden floor, pristine bed, a wardrobe in one corner and a desk in another.

And now the world's tallest house cat stands in it.

He nearly drops the shirts onto the floor.]

[In Person...Oh mai!]

[photogenickitty]

[This theory was taking more time than he had expected. Most of the doors on his floor had been locked or unoccupied. He was starting to wonder if the doors were locking themselves as a means of keeping the vampire out. He was about to call the myth confirmed until he suddenly finds a door knob that yields.]

Finally...

[He clutches his book a little tighter then gently opens it.]

Hello?

[He says to at least sound polite if someone was there, but he still steps into the room. If they were doing something important they would of locked it, right?]

Oh! S-sorry, I thought it was empty.

[Or at least he had hoped. It only made matters worse when he realizes he knew this face. It was the kindly man from the blackberries! Well now he felt even worse for being so rude.]

A-ah, Michaelis-san... [His ears press against his head nervously and his tail twitches behind him.]

[In Person]

[demon_andbutler]

[A split second later he has realized he was mistaken. At first, he had only registered the lovely ears and tail and not what they were attached to. The human boy. Sebastian keeps his disappointment from showing. It has been so long since he has seen one of his beloved felines. Still... the graceful movement of those ears and the adorable twitching of the tail...

Oh. It's talking to him.]

Mr. Aoyagi. You did give me a startle. [Head tilt.] Is there something you needed?

[He moves swiftly past the boy to set down the pile of shirts, taking his eyes off Ritsuka's most desirable features with reluctance.]

[In Person] Sorry this is so late. I suck ;-;

[photogenickitty]

Mn, sorry for scaring you. I was just testing a myth about vampires.

[He says with a sheepish look. The more he told people what he was doing the dumber it all sounded.]

You're not a vampire to are you?

[Said tail accidentally batting the man when he moves past.]

[last_ofherkind]

[Her first evening here Claudia is already out in the garden. She hates being cooped up inside for too long. She peeks around a large hedge to spy on Ritsuka. She smiles at the sight of him.]

[photogenickitty]

[Okay... think bat? No, maybe it's flight... Light? Like a feather? But bats don't have feather...]

Tch... one more go...

[He looks around to make sure he's alone, then climbs onto a nearby bench. Think bat! He hops off and lands on his feet in a completely boring and un-bat-like manner... Darn.]

[last_ofherkind]

[Now there's a voice in Ritsuka's head]

What are you doing?

[photogenickitty]

Huh?! [He whips around when the voice sounds so close but he's not sure where from.]

Who's there?!

[worldsrunnerup]

[If he wanders into Mello and Matt's room he'll find a cross. Two in fact, both sitting on Mello's night stand. One is a black-and-red beaded rosary and the other is a delicate bracelet with a silver cross charm. There's also a thick bible in the drawer in case Ritsuka is feeling adventurous. Neither Wammy Boy is in the room at the moment, so Ritsuka's exploration is momentarily uninterrupted.]

[photogenickitty]

[He continues walking down the hall and notices one of the doors is open. He had already tested the room entering theory on Michaelis-san, so he was about to just leave the room be, but then the crosses caught his eye.]

Hm... I should ask first... [He stood by the doorway and thinks. Just a quick touch and run or find the owner? The later sounded like a lot of work for something that could be so quick. He takes a hesitant step forward.]

No... [He would hate for someone to touch his things while he was away. He turns to take a look at the name plate on the door instead.]

[worldsrunnerup]

[Mello is coming. He turns the corner to see Ritsuka staring intently at his door]

You okay there, kid?

[photogenickitty]

[He was just starting to read the name and connecting just where he'd heard it before when a voice caught his attention.]

Mello-san? Y-yes, I'm okay! [He says looking slightly sheepish at being caught almost going into his room.]

Is this your room?

[gender_at_will]

[D'eon is stalking through the halls cautiously. He has no idea where he is, and it is beginning to bother him. He's got his hand resting on the hilt of his sword, the base of which a very elaborate cross has been melded.]

[photogenickitty]

[Makes a soft surprised sound when he suddenly bumps into someone.]

E-eh? Oh, sorry! I wasn't look-

[Looks down at the sword he had his hand on. W-wow, it was just a bump! Takes a cautious step back.]

[gender_at_will]

[D'eon takes a step when he runs into a small boy.... who seemed to be wearing some sort of cat costume? He disregarded it for now. He removes his hand from his sword and smiles kindly.]

Ah, I'm afraid I was not looking where I was going as well, My apologies.

[He bows humbly.]

[photogenickitty]

[Visibly relaxes when his hand moves away from the sword but he keeps his distance for the time being.]

It's alright. No harm done... [Still eying the sword he takes notice of the little cross. He was tempted to ask, but a moment ago the man looked determined to get somewhere and not to mention a little menacing.]

Uh, you're not going to cause trouble with that are you...?

[His tail twitches nervous.]
