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>

[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!!]

[retraced]

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.]

[jokesonthem]

[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.

[retraced]

[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.]

[jokesonthem]

[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.

[retraced]

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

Will you stay with him for a while?

[jokesonthem]

[Does he even need to be asked-]

Yes. He'll probably have more complaints when he wakes up...

[Sigh. Beat.] Thank you for getting him out, earlier.

[retraced]

Ah - that...it was just instinct.

[It's not like he likes him or anything?!]

[jokesonthem]

[Oh please!!]

Then thank you for having good instincts.

[maddeninghatter]

Nnnnnngh--

[ He's stirring a little, and sounding displeased about it; even though being draped across Gilbert's shoulder ought to feel downright familiar by this time! ]

[retraced]

It's nothing--

[He turns to look over at Break, just to see if he's talking in his sleep or what.]

[jokesonthem]

[No no, none of this.]

Oh, hush. [That's for both of you, you're welcome.]

[retraced]

[He's just going to assume that was directed at Break, Reim...]

Even when he's asleep he's troublesome.

[jokesonthem]

[Someone is cranky and needs a nap. Let's talk about something else!]

What will you do after this?

[retraced]

[He winces as he realizes that he still has blood...all over himself.]

After I change my shirt, I'll go make sure that everyone else is all right downstairs. And search for that damned eyeball again...

[jokesonthem]

[Everyone is kinda gross right now, on varying levels.]

I hope they aren't in a panic... I tried to calm down whoever I could, but...

[WELL. YOU KNOW.]

[retraced]

No one would be calm after seeing something like that.

[How are they even holding themselves together right now.]

[jokesonthem]

[They've seen some shit.]

They'll be alright.

[retraced]

I'm most worried for Ahiru.

[His poor not!daughter.]

But Oz has probably already figured out the situation completely.

[jokesonthem]

[Hm, not a name he can immediately pin to a face. He nods.]

Probably... [...] Are you alright?

[retraced]

Me?

[Glancing curiously over towards his peer. No one ever asks if he's okay. ;~; He's touched, seriously.]

Ah, I guess I'm still a little shocked. Something like that.

[jokesonthem]

[Maybe it's to make up for leaving him unconscious on the floor the other day- In any case, shocked is better than, say, unconscious, at least. Props, Gil.]

Mm. A lot of things have happened...

[retraced]

[That had been a traumatic moment, okay?!]

What else is this idiot going to do before finally accepting help from someone else?

[jokesonthem]

[Uh huh...]

I'm sure it will be stupid, whatever it is.

[But first, he gets to experience being under house arrest again. Hooray!]

[retraced]

[Another couple of stairs here and they'll be at Break's room, gratefully in one piece. Unless you count the zombie-piece that he left behind down there.]

So long as it isn't driving again.
