There Is A Dinner Party Right Across The Hall

[littlest_lord]

Who: Phancyhive and invited/close CR!
When: Wednesday Evening for supper
Where: Phancyhive
Summary: With so many new additions to the household, it's only proper to welcome them with a dinner party.
Warnings: A bunch of crazy people around a dinner table. What could possibly go wrong?

<sub>[Ciel hated parties. Really, he did. They were an unbearable drudgery of having to socialize but he could manage to endure for one night. It was expected of him to host such an event, what with the new additions to the household, so despite his desire to lock himself away in his office, he'd been dressed in lovely clothes and had the whole thing arranged.

The dining room itself was decorated exquisitely and the food that had been set out was unbearably tempting to anyone who'd glance upon it. Hopefully, the whole night wouldn't be an ordeal. The last thing needed was more stress.]</sub>

[ which of course means Gil won't be sleeping for a week. ]

Eh... but can't you let one of the other servants do that? [ and he's learned all about the washing machine! Let it do all the work. ]

[psychopath]

[Soon, I won't need you at all.

Jack wants to laugh.

Laugh and laugh and l a u g h and gather Oz into his arms and whisper, are you fucking kidding me?, but then that wouldn't be very hero-like.]

That'd be good, wouldn't it?

[He frowns a little.]

My apologies, the circumstances-- you've a strong heart. People should listen to you as you, instead of you acting in my stead. Sorry about that.

[retraced]

It's more my responsibility than theirs.

[He was the one who invited Break into this house, after all.]

[retraced]

[There are no words. Only facepalm.]

Right...

[inthejunk]

So I knew I had to save her.

[What? It's not a big deal! All the kids are doing that one now, dude. He checked first!]

[retraced]

And you still think that now?

[inthejunk]

...I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm a joke.

[Thanks for asking.]

[littlest_lord]

That would be...unbearable.

[retraced]

[.......Oh.]

Ah - no...you shouldn't say things like that!

[inthejunk]

...Uh. Right. Sorry to trouble you.

[his_own_will]

[ Oz shake his head and smiles his empty, ever polite little smile. ] It's okay! I've had a lot of fun being with everyone, and what you're doing is important!

[ saving the world has to be important, right? And so long as the people who matter see Oz as Oz, who cares? ]

[retraced]

Don't - apologize...

[He sighs.]

Just have some more confidence in yourself.

[his_own_will]

They're still servants. [ Let them do their jobs! ]

[retraced]

But it's Break's blood.

[Ugggggh.]

[inthejunk]

...Yeah. I will.

[Or at least he'll keep his inner dialogue on the inside for a while. That just kind of slipped out, you know?]

[retraced]

I mean it.

[Don't make him poke your forehead or something else equally embarrassing.]

[inthejunk]

We're not at the bakery. You can't boss me around now.

[It's a joke, see? To lighten the atmosphere?]

[his_own_will]

[ pft, the way Gil looks, one would think Break's blood is poisonous. ] Then Break should clean it up!

Then would you rather have me clean it up? [ those are your choices, another servant, or Oz. Do the math. ]

[retraced]

Hmph.

[Okay, fine. You get away from a forehead poking for now.]

[retraced]

Of course not! Do you even know how to clean blood out of things properly?

[Just what sorts of things have you been googling young master?!]

[inthejunk]

[Awesome. He'll just steal another piece of plum.]

[his_own_will]

[ oh... just this and that. no big deal ] I cleaned it out of your clothes the other day. [ he practically twinkles as he says it. surely Gil hasn't forgotten! ]

[retraced]

[He twists to look at him with SHOCK AND OFFENSE all over his face.]

You did what?! [He thought he'd thrown that shirt out!]

[his_own_will]

[ he very, very carefully repeats himself. ] I cleaned it. you were pretty adamant about cleaning everything up before you passed out.

[retraced]

I said that I would clean it!

[Master don't dirty your hands!]
