Turn 12

[Action]

[See this kind looking little boy (thirteen; looks about ten?) with the bow and the eye patch here? Yeah, for once he's actually around town and is not being (visibly) followed by his soulphile. Though rest assured Sebastian is around to jack in if it comes to that

[At the battle dome, Ciel might spot a certain prince letting off some steam. He’s taking on several groups of oddly dressed people in masks who have arm blades for weapons, and might seem a bit odd to Ciel, considering he is definitely a different person in a serious battle.

His attacks with his Tri-Nunchaku are powerful and aimed to take people out quickly and efficiently, and it’s very clear he has plenty of battle experience as he concentrates on taking them out one after another, dodging their blows as he goes.]

[soulbait]

[Oh, this is helpful. Ciel observes this from the viewing deck, eating himself some sort of cake. It's not the best cake ever but he's focusing on observing this combat so it doesn't matter that much]

[falenandawn]

[Frey quickly smashes an end of his Tri-Nunchaku into the back of an opponent’s head, As they drop he turns to face another group of them rapidly approaching. His hand glows blue as several blades of light smash into the opposition, turning into a huge pillar of flames that engulfs the entire group of enemies.

As more appear, he rushes them again.]

[soulbait]

So he has been holding out... Curious. [As he keeps watching Frey, he takes another idle bite of his cake. Fear doesn't spring up - the idea of Frey hurting him is absurd - but he does take a cautionary interest in this, continuing to study the unwitting boy from a place he can't know it]

[Jack is in the items shop as well, and he's practically hidden behind an enormous coil of rope that he is trying to carry.]

[soulbait]

[Wow there's a moving mount of rope there...] Excuse me?

[lists_to_port]

Excuse YOU? Whyfore? Can't you see I'm carrying this rope?

[soulbait]

Yes, and I would quite like to pass this mass of rope. [That voice does sound familiar. In truth while he did originally just want past the guy, now he's curious]

[Winry's in the Item Shop looking for a suitable set of knifes for carving pumpkins. When that is finished she'll be looking at paints. Because Elicia isn't allowed to use knives. Watch out, she might get a little clumsy and drop some paint your way Ciel.]

[soulbait]

[Oh, she dropped some paint. Right near his shoes. Ciel sighlys lightly to himself, trying to keep in his irritation and then stomps his cane on the ground to get the girl's attention. ...This one, what was her name again? Oh, oh right.]

Ms. Rockbell.

[crytearsofjoy]

[A familiar voice? Who was-

Oh god it's that kid. The one with that butler. Play it cool, Winry. Just like in the - no, better than the grocery store.]

...Yes?

[soulbait]

I believe you may have dropped something. [He inclines, more with his cane this his head, at the dropped paint which so nearly missed him. He tries to sound polite but a bit of irritation does still enter his tone]

[ashesandpearls]

[Oh, 'sup, Ciel. You weren't hoping to get to that vending machine any time soon, were you? Rangiku loves these things; they remind her of her time in the mortal world. She'll just be humming a little off-tune to herself as she ponders which one to choose next.

...she's aware that you're there, though you couldn't tell it from looking at her.]

[soulbait]

[Lines. Lines. Even though he's British, Ciel isn't accustomed to a queue. After all, he's a nobleman. Still, that figure... it's obviously the good Lieutenant. He keeps his tongue for now, idly tapping his cane on the ground as he starts to grow more irritated at the delay]

[ashesandpearls]

[Oh, is that tapping she hears? Can't be, because she clearly can't hear anything so faint over her humming.

Hmmm... the fluffy pink looking cake-things or the strange funnel-like cake things?] What to pick, what to pick?

[soulbait]

[She's doing this on purpose, isn't she? Well he won't lose.]

[doubleppk]

[Boobs Fujiko accidentally backs into him in the item shop, also looking at various toys there, specifically searching for anything with lasers. She might have even picked up something from the Funtom Company unknowingly.]

Oh, whoa, sorry about that. This place is a lot more cramped than I expected. You all right? [And something else is quickly going away into her pockets.]

[soulbait]

[As a boy without his balled dropped and from a Toboso series, boobs have no effect on Ciel Phantomhive. After all, every girl in the series except his fiancee and two lolis (one of which is canonically mannish) has tits up the wazoo. But that's beside the point.

The point is that he quickly tries to hide his irritation at the slight in the form of putting on a polite little neutral... grimace. Yeah he didn't work well] I am, thank you for asking.

[Though he did get knocked back a little. Curse of being so small]

[doubleppk]

Oh... Ciel right? Need help with anything sugar?

[soulbait]

[Sugar? Why would he need help with sugar, this is a bazaar. But okay]

Not particular, Ms. Mine.
