[Video/action: 002] Backdated

[ronderotarel]

[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.]

I thought I said not to worry about it. There is nothing I neither want nor need.

[disinheriting.livejournal.com]

I don't care-- you're getting something. It's your birthday!

[eidoloncast.livejournal.com]

Perhaps the only thing I want is peace and quiet, then.

[disinheriting.livejournal.com]

Boring. You and Yukio would totally get along...

[eidoloncast.livejournal.com]

Yukio?

Anyway, why is it so important to you I celebrate it?

[disinheriting.livejournal.com]

I don't know. It's a good thing to be alive one more year, right? To celebrate it with friends. It's just supposed to be a good day.

[eidoloncast.livejournal.com]

You might be the first to feel that way about it. I do not make a habit of making friends.

[disinheriting.livejournal.com]

I know how you feel- but now that you've met a few, doesn't it make life more interesting?

[eidoloncast.livejournal.com]

I cannot tell friends or enemies apart easily. Interesting, yes, but my feelings on the matter... I'm fine on my own. That is how it has to be.

[disinheriting.livejournal.com]

What? But we're friends.

I would tell you again not to become involved with me; but, you are not going to listen, are you? You will have to forgive me if I do not trust you entirely yet... my past experiences with other demons have been less than enjoyable.

Are you entirely certain you would want to be friends with someone who could bring you a great deal of trouble later?

[disinheriting.livejournal.com]

That's okay! You don't have to trust me completely-- I'm used to it.

[He's used to hearing that, too. That it was because of other demons-- because of Satan -- that they couldn't trust him.]

What do you mean? We're in this together, Ciel. Even if you don't trust me, I trust you.

[eidoloncast.livejournal.com]

You really are... a very peculiar person, Rin.

[]

I do not know you very well, is all. I can only promise I will not betray your trust and I am a person of my word.

[disinheriting.livejournal.com]

You think so? I hear that a lot, actually, so I guess it's true!

And we'll just have to get to know each other better, right?

Someone like you who acts so human being a demon is rare. Most have no desire to retain or understand humanity and therefore reject it. You do not.

I suppose so.

[disinheriting.livejournal.com]

private;

Huh? Eh... I don't know. Thanks, but I'm just trying to do what I can. It's nothing special like that.

[eidoloncast.livejournal.com]

[private;]

It is admirable. I doubt you understand how much so.

If I may ask... what kind of demon are you? Most have a special physical or magical ability that others do not. I assume, since it seems to be something most demons have, you probably have unnatural strength. All the ones on my world did. But that cannot be all, can it?

[disinheriting.livejournal.com]

Uh, well-- in your world. Do you know of Satan?

[eidoloncast.livejournal.com]

Yes, although all we know of him exists in lore -- the book of Enoch and Job in the bible specifically speaks of him. Demons here do not... say anything about it. Why?
