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>

[Oh, Jack is one of the people you won't get anything from, mister Reim-san!!]

And that Xerxes lad?

[jokesonthem]

[Challenge accepted, sir!!!

The next face he makes is his patented "oh no did he do something offensive again" face.]

Yes... Xerxes is my good friend. He hasn't been- bothersome, has he?

[psychopath]

[Jack makes a confused face. Actually, it's more of a 'holy shit I have no words to describe him let me just make a really confused expression because I don't know what else to do' face.]

Oh, goodness, no, ah... He's- well, he's quite exuberant.

[jokesonthem]

[That is a face Reim has seen dozens of times. Even though it probably means Break is definitely bothering people, stop it Break!! He tries a little sympathetic smile.]

Well... You get used to it. Mostly.

[psychopath]

I'm not saying anything, but you must be a very patient man.

[jokesonthem]

I've heard that before... But please, feel free to say whatever you like. Xerxes can be quite the headache, I know.

[psychopath]

How long have you known him?

[jokesonthem]

Years. [Pause. How best to convey "over an actual decade with Xerxes Break" without curling up on the floor and whimpering-] Many, many years.
