without awareness, power remains hidden
Who: Gilbert and Vincent Nightray
When: Forward dated to the morning of the 10th, just after sirens.
Where: Vincent's bedroom window. Yep.
Summary: Because asking for it would be too easy, Gil is choosing instead to break into Vincent's house and steal Leo's old bloodseal mirrors.
Warnings: RAGE!CLEANING. Also blood and gore and bad punchlines.
For days, his hand has been aching. At first, he wondered if, perhaps, the Raven had returned on its own. But after the days had stopped repeating and time had distorted into a dizzying fast forward, Gil began to realize that it was nothing more than phantom pains brought on by his own realization that he could regain that power even easier than he'd figured. Leo had been able to form a Contract without the use of a door to the Abyss, no doubt Gilbert would be able to as well.
There are two ways he can go about this. One - an illegal Contract. Drinking Raven's blood and calling its name would insure the sealing of his rightful bond, but it might also have repercussions, especially in this world. There's no need for it; he already knows that he's eligible to have full power over the black winged Chain.
Which brings us to the second, and better choice. Obtaining another bloodseal mirror and letting the Chain cut through him in order to seal their agreement and promise in blood, once more. There's only one real problem with this choice. His mirror has been smashed into oblivion. There's only one place that he might be able to find an available one here, where Pandora doesn't exist. Leo's bedroom. There's a chance that he's taken the mirrors with him, but he won't know unless he checks.
It's this thought that brings him out of his house the minute that sirens begin. Vincent should still be at work for another hour or so, which doesn't give him much time to get in and out without him noticing, but will hopefully be enough. Our intrepid hero arrives at the house in record time, and, after only a few minutes of reconnaissance, finds the window that looks the easiest to break into, right above an overhang on the second floor that he can stand on.
Yep. This plan can't possibly go wrong.
So here is Gilbert Nightray, top Pandora official, attendant to the most prestigious house in the four great dukedoms, adopted son of the traitorous duke house of Nightray, precariously hanging off the side of the Baskerville estate, attempting to crack the lock on the second story window with a knife. And he is needlessly confident that this is going to work.
Somehow. Eventually.
