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>

I'll carry him up later if his aunt doesn't find him first.

[He sighs and drops his head back down into one hand.]

What a terrible dinner.

[his_own_will]

[ Oz stares at Gil and then at his hand and then slowly rubs at one of Gil's shoulders, much as he's seen Uncle Oscar do in the past as well. ]

The food was delicious. [ the rest... ]

[retraced]

[He flushes instantly, of course, and reaches up to try and still Oz's hand with his own.]

Did you get enough to eat before...ungh.

[The eyeball, etc.]

[his_own_will]

[ Oz nodded, almost absentmindedly ] I didn't catch what it was though. What did happen?

[retraced]

[He grunts under his breath, angrily.]

Break went off and got into trouble on his own. [In a nutshell.]

He went to a doctor to get a new eye implanted. But that eye...it...!

[Ran away?! How does he even put this.]

[his_own_will]

[ he'll help ]

It took off? [ all the wryness, because, honestly, it would appear that not even a fake eye can put up with Break (he feels for you, he really does). ]

[retraced]

[SOB.]

No one expected it to...! But now...I c-can't find it anywhere...

[IT'S LOOSE IN THE HOUSE.]

[his_own_will]

[ Oz rolls to his feet. ] I'll help you look for it. Did you ask the servants? Maybe it rolled onto someone's plate...

[ it did seem to be a quick little sucker. He barely had a glimpse of it! ]

[retraced]

So far no one has found it.

[Even Jack says that he lost track of it, and there's no reason to doubt Jack's words...]

I don't think I'll be able to sleep knowing that it's still out there somewhere.

[his_own_will]

Then we'll stay up all night hunting for it!

[ he can sleep the day away. Ain't like he's got school. ]

[retraced]

Hey.

[Reaching over to poke him in the forehead.]

You're going to bed early.

[his_own_will]

[ Oz wrinkles his nose ]

Then you have to too.

[retraced]

If I don't clean that blood out of the tablecloth soon it'll set in.

[Sleeping will happen after everything is cleaned up.]

[his_own_will]

[ 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. ]

[retraced]

It's more my responsibility than theirs.

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

[his_own_will]

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

[retraced]

But it's Break's blood.

[Ugggggh.]

[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]

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?!]

[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!]

[his_own_will]

Really? But it wasn't that difficult. I just looked up directions on the NV.

[ opps. Did he? Oz must have missed that request. ]
