FIFTH ORDER --> [Accidental Video]

[It doesn't seem that Ciel meant to press any of the buttons on the 'berry, because he's in his room, a book in hand, looking particularly cross. The sounds of knocking and a gentle voice can be heard in the background... more than likely, it's Lucy Phantomhive, come to drag her "brother" out of the oblivion.

His eyes flicker toward the door, but he only utters an exasperated sigh, a hand stuck in his hair.]

You are aware you're being filmed, correct?

And I find gags work splendidly on the guests. Gags or a small amount of chloroform.

[... Oh. Ciel turns slowly to the device, his eyes shifting for a moment to the blinking light.]

I'm aware now, thank you.

[He doesn't smile, but the man's comment about guests provokes a small chuckle.]

Really. You've been dealing with them as well?

[He smirks]

Unfortunately, yes.

[Noticing his accent..]

Where in England are you from?

[He lifts his chin a little higher.]

London. And, you?

[Aah - he's already met Sebastian, but he assumed he was the only other londoner in the house]

The very same - what is your name, if I may?

[How interesting. He appears to be the slightest bit more at ease, if only because he's reminded of home.]

Earl Ciel Phantomhive. It's a pleasure.

[He gives a small nod of acknowledgment, his usual smile spreading across his lips. So the boy was an Earl? He was most likely the employer of the butler he had encountered..]

Sherlock Holmes. The pleasure's all mine

[... The name. Ciel's expression changes to one of interested curiosity, for he knows that name. The image of one particular man, one who he had been chained to, actually, flashes across his mind... and he smiles pleasantly.]

Have you been here long, in the manor?

Edited 2010-09-14 21:13 (UTC)

Not as long as some, no - several weeks at most. Yourself?

About the same. It's been an... interesting experience, to say the least.

I can certainly second that. Anyway, I wouldn't want to keep you from your reading - it was good to meet you, Earl.

[He goes to end the feed]

[Finally. Someone agreeable. And how ironic, that it was this person in particular.]

And you. I hope we are able to speak again soon.

[Ahh, there's no better pick-me-up that a glimpse of his master looking absolutely miserable.]

May I be of some assistance, young master?

[He's gotten good at distracting these unwanted pests. Distracting and avoiding, since eliminating doesn't seem to be an option.]

Edited 2010-09-11 22:56 (UTC)

[Damn you, demon. He just wants to grump in peace.]

Unless you can distract that thing until she disappears...

[The knocking persists. A headache is growing.]

[You wanted a demon by your side. Till the very end, young master. This is what you get.]

Of course, sir.

[The feed goes blank. Then, a few moments later, is that... the door opening...? Is that Sebastian opening the door?!

Ciel never specified that the distraction shouldn't include him. Besides, briefly giving the false sister what she wants will make it easier to herd her away. The tactic certainly works on Elizabeth.]

[Ciel frowns at the screen as it goes blank, but returns to his book, ignoring the incessant knocking. Until, than is, it stops. When he hears the door opening, the hairs on the back of his neck prick up, and he turns slowly, hoping that it isn't-]

[Ciel nearly falls out of his chair as she reaches for him (again), backing away from the girl claiming to be his sister.]

How did you-... Who opened the-...

[His eyes stop on the door, and he tunes Lucy out as he stares into the darkness of the hallway. Bloody... demon.]

[Sebastian is indeed in the hallway. Grinning.]

I took the liberty of letting in the Lady Lucy. Clearly you were so engrossed in your book you did not hear her knocking.

Is there anything the two of you would like to do together? [Head tilt.] Perhaps... play a game?

[Yeah, yeah. He's enjoying this. No lie.]

["Lady Lucy" is all smiles once again, her hands folded in front of her as Sebastian speaks. At his suggestion, her face brightens considerably, while Ciel's... does the opposite.]

[Ciel opens his mouth to protest, to curse Sebastian, and then stops. He slowly closes his mouth again, and even smiles, looking perfectly at ease with the situation.]

... I'll play a game. Under a few conditions.

[Lucy gasps in joy, grabbing Ciel's hands with her dainty, fair ones.]

[He tugs his hands away, slowly.]

If you win, I'll do whatever you want... spend time with you, or whatever it was. But, if I win, then you have to go away, and stay away. And stop claiming to be my sister.

[She blinks curiously, but nods.]

[And while she claps her hands together in excitement, Ciel takes the time to cast Sebastian a glare.]

[Sebastian's grin widens quite a bit. There are times when Ciel impresses him, and this is one of those times.]

Shall I fetch you ~~Pretty Pretty Princess~~ ~~Candy Land~~ ~~Tales of the Crystals~~ the chess board, my lord and lady?

[Things just got very interesting.]

[Ciel's smile returns, and he leans back slightly in his chair.]

Yes. If that's acceptable.

[Lucy, who couldn't possibly look happier, nods quickly and sits opposite her "brother."

The Earl believes he has checkmated a Lucy-free future.]

[Sebastian resists chuckling to himself in their presence and disappears briefly. He returns within minutes with the chess board from the game room, and places it on the table between Lucy and Ciel, along with the appropriate pieces.

He falls back to Ciel's right. He'll leave if dismissed, but he is interested to see which "sibling" will win this bet, if he can.

His money's on Lucy.]

[Ciel's smile doesn't fade, and he greets the appearance of the chess board with an even more pleasant demeanor. Lucy, it seems, could not be happier with the boy's new found attitude, and sighs contentedly, gazing at him with the utmost joy.]

White moves first.

[Lucy nods quickly, radiating waves of glee as she reaches for one of the pawns. Ciel watches as she picks it up in one of her pale, delicate hands, and places it on the board.]

[Her voice is grating, but he continues to smile as he reaches for a piece, to make his move.]

(OOC: ... Handwave? xD)

ooc: Yeeah I actually barely understand the rules of chess at all. I've never really played. >_> /should be shot as a Lelouch-mun, I know

[Oh good, he can watch. He stays still and silent like any good servant should, looking less interested in the game than he truly is.]

[... Ten minutes. That was all it took. And Ciel finds himself staring down something horrible, something unimaginable... checkmate.

Not his. Lucy's. His mouth has run dry, as he's promised her something that he never intended to give. He knows that she's smiling politely, waiting ever so patiently for him to admit defeat, but he's been sitting there for quite some time, unable to do so.

... How the bloody hell did this happen?!]

[He avoids her gaze, pointedly, his face reddening in embarrassment. He's not even going to bother looking at Sebastian, or he may well explode.]

[He couldn't help it. He looked at her. She smiled warmly as she gently tipped his king over with her queen.

... Damn.]

Well. It seems that Lady Lucy is the winner.

[His tone has taken on an exaggerated saccharine quality. He smiles, his head tilted slightly to one side.]

A good game, all in all. [If a complete massacre is a good game. Sebastian moves in to clear the chess board from the table.] Is there anything else I can bring you two, Lady Lucy?

[Since she is in charge now. A bet is a bet and she did win. >;D]

[Now, of course, Sebastian makes everything worse. While Lucy looks at the butler with excited happiness, Ciel scowls, his mood dramatically worsening.]

[She turns slowly to look at the boy, who meets her gaze nervously.

He does not want to talk about the past. Even an imaginary one.]

As you wish, my lady.

[He turns to Ciel.] And is there anything you require, young master?

[He smiles politely and waits. If you want a get out of jail free card, now's your chance to invent something that might take them both away on some sort of business or another. It's all up to Ciel whether he wants to rescind on his bet or not.]

[Damn. He gave his word, and it would be a disgrace to go back on it now. Looking into the eyes of that ridiculous girl, Ciel almost changed his mind, but...]

... No. There isn't anything.

[Lucy chuckles lightly, as if this is somehow very funny. Ciel merely looks away, hoping very much that these impostors disappear soon.]

Edited 2010-09-21 20:44 (UTC)

As you wish.

[He figured Ciel wouldn't give in, but Sebastian wouldn't be doing his duty if he didn't make the offer. He'll bow to the two of them and leave poor Ciel to his fate... grinning to himself as he leaves.]
