[Video/action: 002] Backdated

[Through the camera, Alois can be seen sitting on the table of a nice, spacious living room. He's idly kicking his legs mid-air and looks quite cheerful.]

So today I and Luca are moving in with Ciel! His Manor is so fucking huge he certainly cannot live in it all by himself. He'd get scared at night. [A giggle.] But today it's a very special day for him. It's his birthday! So all you people better come over at the Manor and say happy birthday to Ciel! If you do, I'll give you a slice of the cake I made. Luca helped me bake it! So it's delicious.

[Because everything Luca touches can only be delicious and perfect. For a minute, Alois idly rocks back and forth on the table, looking pensive. Then he smiles brilliantly at the camera once again.] So! For those of you who don't like cake, remember to say happy birthday to Ciel Phantomhive anyway. Or I'll fucking gut you. Understood?

[There are more giggles. Then the connection ends.]

[ ...because he'll show up dutifully with the tiniest broom known to man and lizard, and a little trey, too. All in all, he's rather pleased with the sight. ]

You haven't come to harm yet. That's good.

Giggling after threatening to eviscerate people isn't going to do much for your public image.

[That sounds so much like something Claude would say. Sitting on the table, Alois is kicking his legs mid-air excitedly.] That's because you came to save me. [He likes being in the same room as someone who moves and talks just like Claude would. He wants to be able to see Gilbert's eyes closely. They're incredibly similar to Claude's.] I'll be sure to reward you for your trouble. [This sounds like a promise.]

[ronderotarel.livejournal.com]

I don't give a shit!

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

Haven't met too many people who don't mind being seen as imbalanced.

[ronderotarel.livejournal.com]

I'm an Earl, I can do as I please. If you come over I'll give you some cake.

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

That doesn't mean anything to me and I'll have to decline your invitation.

[ ...and once he's out of this place, Gil will forward the nomination for Alice as a proper instructor on spoiled children with his own two hands. All that education is paying up.

Removing the shards is easy - glasses break in big pieces - but there is always some residue, and he'd rather take few chances. He's up soon enough, one hand out. ]

May I see your palms, please?

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Good to see you're in a better mood.

[ronderotarel.livejournal.com]

[And Alois opens his hands for Gilbert immediately, palms up. He's pretty pleased. Being a spoiled child pays off, after all.]

[ronderotarel.livejournal.com]

Why do you want to decline my invitation?

[ronderotarel.livejournal.com]

A good enough mood to give you some cake if you come over and say happy birthday to Ciel!

[a-parting-word.livejournal.com]

[ A cursory inspection is enough for now. No bleeding, nothing shining on the palm, no cuts. That's acceptable. ]

You were lucky.

[ He lets go. ]

Will that be all, sir?

[ronderotarel.livejournal.com]

No wait! [He jumps off the table and goes over to the counter. He's already prepared a slice of cake on a plate. He brings it to Gilbert with a big smile on his face.] This is for having helped me. [Maybe he's standing a bit too close, but he's smiling cutely as he holds the plate our for him.]

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

Other things I'd rather do.

[ronderotarel.livejournal.com]

You really aren't nice at all.

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

Haven't had somebody say that in a while.

[ronderotarel.livejournal.com]

Maybe that means you're only mean to me then.

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Thank-you, but I have to decline.

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

Just because I'd rather take care of some pressing personal errands doesn't make me mean.

[ronderotarel.livejournal.com]

Your pressing personal errands aren't as delicious as the cake I baked. Plus Ciel's birthday only comes once a year.

[ronderotarel.livejournal.com]

Then I'll eat your slice too. [And this is supposed to sound mean.]

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

But they play a factor in whether or not I can have some degree of safety and comfort.

[ronderotarel.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I now dub this, Battle of the Keywords

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

Oh really?
