—–  ♚ | | Hive City was home to many mysteries, though there was one in particular which the teen hadn’t bothered to meddle with until now—The smartphone. And seated at a table outside of a cafe is Ciel, skin pricking with ire, glaring down at the device as he slides it back and forth across the table top with dainty fingertips. The damn thing was beginning to heavily try his patience, and this bizzare display likely would have continued had he not finally looked up to catch someone watching him.          How mortifying.

❝ …Ahah—My apologies if I’m bothering you, miss! ❞ he begins, flipping a sudden switch in his head and forcing his most genuine smile as he motions to the appliance on the table—Surely he could turn the situation to learn some favorable information, no? ❝ But might you explain what’s wrong with this thing? It reads ‘slide to unlock’ but it doesn’t seem to be working! ❞

—–  ♚ | | A sneeze, seemingly out of nowhere, shakes the boy’s thin frame as cold air bites at his skin and arms are drawn into his chest. Wiping at his nose with his sleeve, Ciel can’t help but be reminded of the children that would roam the streets of London with empty bellies and rags for clothing. While he was still much better off even now despite his terrible choice in outerwear, he’s sure that he must be a sight just as pitiful to the man watching him and he doesn’t bother hiding his obvious distaste at the idea.          He doesn’t want pity.

—–  ♚ | | ❝ Take this. I don’t want it. ❞ The earl speaks bluntly, shoving a steaming cup of coffee into the nearest stranger’s hands with little to no worry over the possibility of spilling it. He’d purchased it only minutes before with the intention of giving the beverage another chance, only for it to smell as foul as it looked—He wouldn’t even bother tasting it.

♚ —- ooc; Well I was accepted a lot sooner than I’d expected! I thought I’d have at least a day or so to revamp this blog and such as this was just!! kind of a spur of the moment decision I made on my phone earlier today..r.i.p me;;

But regardless of that, please like this post if you’d like a short starter (about a paragraph or so in length) written up for you or send me an ask/IM if you’d like to plot something longer and/or more specific. The cap will be set at three (cast mates exempt) and expect them to be done sometime this weekend i think!

         ❝ “It’s not that bad.” The blond defends, not willing to admit that the other might be right. “You have to have a bit of an imagination to get real enjoyment out of this.” What’s more fun than making up stories of people that pass in front of them? Lots of things really, but that’s beside the point.

   —–  ♚ || ❝ Why fabricate when you could just ask for the truth if interested? ❞ Providing a brief wave of dismissal with his palm, the earl breathes a cross sigh as both arms eventually settle across his chest. ❝ I see no point in inventing a tale for someone who already appears too dull to make it interesting. Take that man there—I’ve no doubt he’s on his way to work his mundane day-job as a banker. How very fun. ❞

“Before we continue…I’d like to know if we’re talking about the same kind of light.”

    —–  ♚ || ❝ Does not all light, be it figurative or literal, equally contrast its opposite? Regrdless, that is partly why I asked for your definition. Are you a man who prefers fact over theory, or vice versa? ❞

    { ❧; Considering the update seems to have hit just about everyone at this point I might as well mention that this new IM system is a-ok with me and anyone is welcome to IM me be it something to do with plotting, rp in general, or just... anything really! Actually, feel free to even hit me up on skype or on twitter for that matter! All I ask is that you make sure to let me know who you are if you do decide to do so. Also considering this is just going to be burried under everything, I’ll probably add something in regard to it on my rule page eventually..

Oh, come on – at least give her a difficult one.

She chuckled, “Nothing; that is to say, the answer is nothing.”
