[twelfth summoning] ♠ [video] ♠ [that butler, invasion] ♠ [forward dated to later this morning]

[sinandservitude]

[The camera turns on to catch Sebastian slamming the front door behind him, fangirls just beyond it-- he looks a lot more disheveled than he usually is.]

Goodness-- it's as though being accosted by Grell multiple times this month wasn't enough. If it's one thing, it's another.

[He straightens himself out before dipping his head respectfully

Comments

[thisismyjob]

You.

Is my family here?

[Sorry, Sebastian, but you're the first person she recognized.]

voice;

[sinandservitude]

Ah, welcome back, my lady. Yes, your family is still here-- at least, Miss Road is. I do not know of the others.

voice;

[thisismyjob]

Thank you. [His mix of manners and compliance seem to remind Lulu Bell that yes, manners exist, and yes, she should probably use them.] You and your ward haven't experienced trouble with Road?

voice;

[sinandservitude]

[Okay, sorry Lulu Bell, but he has to laugh here. Ciel, his ward? He hadn't heard that one before-- even though it was kind of true.]

Not at all. I only know that she is still here because Grell spoke to me about her. She offered him his old room when he returned to the City.

[queens_guarddog]

Keep them out. I don't care what you have to do, Sebastian. I am not in the mood to deal with complete strangers. [He pauses.] However, if any of my family arrive, let them in promptly.

[sinandservitude]

Of course, Young Master. We certainly would not like a repeat of the last Visitor's Day. The Marchioness was quite upset with you.

[queens_guarddog]

Yes, she was. I have not forgotten. [Nightmares, man. Nightmares.]

[sinandservitude]

Have any interesting guests contacted you over the Network?

[highcost_living]

A warning with class. I like it.

[sinandservitude]

Such is the duty of a butler.

[highcost_living]

Expert butler is more accurate. I don't see how anyone could consciously intrude from there without coming out looking like a fool. Clever, clever you've done this before.

[sinandservitude]

To be a butler is in and of itself to be an expert. Such a thing is only one of the many abilities a butler must possess, but I thank you for the compliment.

[creationaries]

Phantomhive?

[Guess who just paid attention to 'Phantomhive'?]

Goodness, Vincent, is that you? Where's Ciel? Oh, that boy, where is he off to --

1/3

[sinandservitude]

[...give him a moment to process this, because goodness, he was never expecting her of all people to visit.]

[sinandservitude]

[Ah-- first he should double check that it's actually her and not some fake. Couldn't let her go traumatizing Ciel if she was a fake, after all.]

[sinandservitude]

[...okay, she's clear. Even if Ciel's soul has been tainted, it was still similar to this woman's.]

Lady Phantomhive, is it? I believe you have me mistaken with Lord Phantomhive-- I am merely a humble butler, Sebastian Michaelis.

[failgardener]

Sebastian!

I'd like to visit! Do I count as a visitor?

1/2

[sinandservitude]

Finny, is that you?

[Just what he needed, an incompetent gardener on top of all his other woes.]

[sinandservitude]

[But it was still Finny, so...]

I suppose you do, since you are a member of the household. However, I expect that you will perform your duties as usual, despite the short time you are here. You are, after all, a servant of the Phantomhive house, no matter where it may be.

[failgardener]

Yes, it's me!

[ADMIT IT, SEBASTIAN, YOU'RE HAPPY TO SEE HIM.]

Oh, of course! I don't mind at all. Does the Young Master have a garden in need of tending in this weird city? There's so many lights and buildings everywhere...and a I think I saw a carousel! I'll do my best!
