Untitled
Who: Xerxes Break and Gilbert Nightray. And, dear lord, Dr. Franken Stein
When: Tuesday, July 24
Where: Siren's Port
Summary: An introduction to modern life, complete with grievances.
Warnings: Minor surgery and traffic. Also, Dr. Stein himself constitutes a warning...
[ There is, to Xerxes Break's way of thinking, but one downside to keeping his outpatient appointment: that scary lady doctor! He'd been shocked, and then amused by the staples (modern medicine, indeed!); but they'd started to pull and itch in this warm weather, the more he moved about. And though he doesn't know the city, that is just one more reason to go out and explore.
Besides, he is slowly going mad, despite his seemingly ideal circumstances. Here, in this vast estate, with Alice, Oz, and Gilbert, he is safe for the moment. The gardens are fragrant; and the selection of sweets is as abundant as it is outstanding. The other occupants of the household - Ciel Phantomhive, his aunt, and their shadowy servants - are intriguing in their own right, and also because of their associations.
And then there's his NV, with which he's had hours of amusement, variously chatting with strangers or eavesdropping on their conversations.
But without any sort of occupation, without a reason for being here, Break feels useless. Guilt and despair - the old weaknesses of his youth - are creeping up on him again, as his mind constantly cycles between the "should haves" and "what ifs."
Thus he is silently slipping out a side entrance, without a word to anyone. His purpose is less to explore than it is to escape. ]
