There Is A Dinner Party Right Across The Hall

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?

_{[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.]}

[And it occurs to Gilbert at this point that...he's known all along.

And never said anything.

Because it never...came up...

Reim if you know what's good for you, you will not mention who else was there that night.]

[Well, this is more like the reaction he expected the first time around. "I'm glad you're alive"--he'd nearly lost it then and there. His fussing is thus rebuffed, and he draws back his hand to rub his temples. Why... is everyone in his life so moody...]

Oh, obviously I should have let everyone in the world know all about my unique ability to lie on the ground helplessly! Why, what could possibly go wrong!

I told you, after... [A gesture; "after pretending to be dead" feels too strong to say right now.] After the fighting. You didn't say anything, when I arrived here! How was I supposed to know you thought-?

[HRNGHGNRG. He doesn't even dignify "gave out hugs" with a response, that's so demeaning--!]

[--and. Who else knows? Well, everyone does now, but before-- Reim frowns tightly, as there is no possible way the answer to that question is going to make Break happier. He covers his face with his hand and mumbles it,]

Master Rufus ordered me not to tell anyone.

I'm "everyone in the world," am I?

[ He's actually shaking his cane at you, Reim. Be thankful you're not Gilbert, he'd be doing more than shaking. ]

You should have--

[ BARMA!!! ]

I'll kill him!

[ He actually starts to hobble off, back towards the dining room. ]

[HE'LL WHAT WHO]

Xerxes!

[No no stop this is stupid- Reim all but throws himself into Break's path, half because he ought to stop people trying to kill his master (while he's mumbling about citations and stubs), and half because of, well, the last time there was a confrontation. Stop... getting in the way of sharp fans...!!]

Stop it-!

[And Gil steps forward as well, because he's probably safe from being tattled on at this point, and Break as always needs more people to tell him when he's doing something dumb.]

You can't fight him like this! You don't even have your Chain - and you just lost a lot of blood! Sit down and keep quiet a while!

[And from behind, Stein claps a hand on Break's shoulder.]

You're in no condition to fight anyone. Calm down, or I'll knock you out.

[ He grabs the front of Reim's ~~dress~~ jacket, about to push him aside, when Gilbert steps forward.

And he's… he's got a point, damn him. ]

So release my Chain--

[ And then Stein has him, too. Well, so what? He'll fight the three of them off, no problem, and then go after Barma, his Chain won't be necessary, he'll simply take the man by surprise, run him through with his sword, he could do it--

He could!

Except. ]

[ Sitting down seems like an excellent idea right now. He'll just sit down for a minute. Or maybe he'll lean, leaning works, Reim is right here. He'll lean, for a moment.

And then he'll… kill… ]

[ ...staying conscious is hard. ]

[Thankfully the other two step in, Reim is all too familiar with being pushed out of the way and would like to avoid it if possible.

Leaned on--and passed out on, his arms go around Break to hold him up. In a moment, someone will have to help carry him. He looks at this clearly insane "doctor" -- this is someone he ought to lecture! Here he goes, it's going to make history-]

Do you need anything before you leave?

[--well, at least he manages to sound irritated.]

[Reim, he's got this. This won't be the first time that he's carried Break a long distance...

He steps in wordlessly to take one of Break's arms, glancing over at the doctor, wondering if he should thank him. Maybe he'll see what he says first.]

[He'll let them take care of Break.]

I would like to try and find the eye. [Of course, he doesn't need to, but it's still a good idea.

And maybe get some edible payment for his troubles.]

[Ew, the eye. It would be best if that eye and this doctor both left, and soon; of that he is staunchly convinced.

But where did it go oops. He makes a face and looks at Gilbert, who had... said something before... right? He was busy shouting, er.]

Look for it if you want.

[He'll join the search later. But for now he'll help Reim with this dead weight known as his boss.]

It could be anywhere by now...!

I certainly hope it doesn't get away.

[And off Stein goes to look for it.]

[GLARING... AFTER HIM...

Reim shifts his hold on Break and sighs.]

What kind of person would do such a thing...

[By which he means putting zombie eyes into people. Weird!!]

That man almost annoys me as much as -

[Well, the guy that they're carrying right now. But geez, is that rude to say when he's passed out like this?]

...Reim, did you know about this?

[Since he was sort of...fainted when it happened and purposely repressed that part of his memory.]

[Don't worry Gilbert, Reim knows.

He pauses- did Gilbert... forget? He was there, and- collapsed, and Sharon stepped on him... Perhaps it would be best to skip that part, for his dignity's sake.]

I did.

[whatdignity.png

He looks surprised for a second, but that shock quickly turns to annoyance-slash-depression. Like always, Break didn't trust him enough to come to him when he needed help.]

[Oh, that expression. Reim glances away, politely--it's not as if he knew everything, he just fretted and took care of the bandages and maybe Break had mentioned Reim going with him to a checkup, but. Um.

Well!]

... We should take him to his room.

[With pleasure. Walking to his bedroom now - up we go!]

Will you stay with him for a while?
