[Two proud Canadian geese. They're the only things of visible interest, standing no more than a few yards away. The video stays steady as a white-gloved hand moves into view, its palm turned to the sky and holding a few leaves of romaine lettuce. The geese immediately notice the offering, but they're too wary to approach for whatever reason.]You ( Read more... )

video; i finish my walk on the treadmill to find this. CLEARLY THIS IS MY REWARD FOR EXCERSIZING. ;; wishgrant May 3 2011, 23:44:39 UTC

It's 'cause birds are smart.

[Well, at least Luca seems to be in high spirits. But if he is here, then where is Hannah?]

I would not confuse intelligence for inborn instinct, Master Luca.

How'd you know my name?

[Claude is starting to feel left out of the loop. Of course, the Macken brothers do love to play pranks...]

I have known it for quite some time.

[Yep, we recognize that manor house. And he's a professional (and rather young looking doctor), sliding his hands out of gloves while peering down at the NV screen propped on his desk]

Do you have business with the Phantomhive household, sir?

[Video] stabilimentum May 4 2011, 00:31:44 UTC

[When the video turns on, it shows an entirely different view now. The NV is dangling from a tree branch by spider threads, so Daedalus will be able to see Claude standing there and looking vaguely forlorn. No more lettuce; he has run out. The geese were hungrier than anticipated.]

Indeed.

[He curls in all his fingers but one, which he uses to push up his glasses. Then, to answer the obvious:]

My master is a resident therein, sir.

[More human entourage. Ever a difficult concept-]

I see. Well! What a growing enterprise. Lucky it's such a large residence.

[Video] stabilimentum May 4 2011, 02:18:42 UTC

It seems they have done well for themselves.

What's your name, mister?

voice. stabilimentum May 4 2011, 00:36:50 UTC

[Claude logically knows that this can't possibly be nirvana, not when the city is teeming with so many individuals, but his content feelings haven't abated any. No reason to worry, right?]

My name is Claude Faustus. Might I ask the same of you, sir?

voice. (filtered away from Gilbert Nightray.) zealouspeter May 4 2011, 00:39:03 UTC

You could! [and a small pause, but -] It's Shiroe. Shiroe Rei Seki. Nice to meet you, Mister Faustus.

[with an abrupt, invisible but still very there smile in his voice,]

You're here for Alois, right?

voice. (filtered away from Gilbert Nightray.) stabilimentum May 4 2011, 02:09:41 UTC

[And this "Shiroe" is still being polite, which is a real treat. Almost everyone else has been rude to some degree.]

It is nice to meet you as well.

[Claude has no reason to be wary of an audible smile, but he'll make note of it.]

Ah? Alois Trancy is my master.

[That is about as roundabout as an answer can get.]

[ It would help if Grell, sometimes, actually looked through the custom-made red spectacles perched on the end of his nose. Or paid attention to things. Ever.

As it was, he caught only the latter part of the feed: the image of the new Phantomhive estate, accompanied by a voice-over. Grell is enough of a Reaper to recognize that voice as demonic; and demon + Phantomhive can have but one implication... ]

OH MY DARLING SEBASTIAN, YOU'VE COME BACK TO ME! ♥

[ Video ] stabilimentum May 4 2011, 01:53:44 UTC

[Wow. This is definitely not nirvana. Neither Claude nor his master would ever imagine up a Grell Sutcliff.]

Not even close, [he says bluntly.]

[ Video ] 1/3 deathknellgrell May 4 2011, 02:34:16 UTC

Bassie! You're so cruel~♥

[ At this point, pushes up his glasses to get a better look at that absolutely scrumptious piece of demonic deliciousness-- ]

[ Video ] 2/3 deathknellgrell May 4 2011, 02:34:53 UTC

Hunh~?

[ Grell squeezes his eyes shut and opens them again. Nope. Still not Sebastian. ]

[He's seen that estate before. It belongs to the Phantomhive boy and his cohorts. Raphael-- ah. Is 'friends' with them. In the loosest sense of the term.]

Are you another servant of Ciel's?

[video] stabilimentum May 4 2011, 02:14:32 UTC

[Once upon a time, Claude could have agreed with that. The young master belongs to me. He feels no connection to those dramatic days anymore.]

I belong to the Trancy family, sir.

[video] urghpinkflower May 4 2011, 02:15:43 UTC

[Oh. His bad. Mikael nods, calm for the time being. That whole household-- the combination of the two, rather-- is peculiar. In other words, he doesn't envy this man.]

Have you already met up with those boys or...?

[video] stabilimentum May 4 2011, 03:34:01 UTC

[Claude is slightly surprised by the turnout, to be sure. Who knew Alois Trancy would surround himself with so many useless people?]

A few members of the household have seen fit to greet me.

[Since he checked last night, he already knows Mikael doesn't live here...]

Are you a close friend of theirs?
