The Seventh Move [Video]

[faustianphantom]

[Ciel is making use of his communicator to call into work. Somehow this leads to his entire conversation being recorded. Thank you, technology. Thank you.]

I didn't sleep well last night and I believe a day off would me good. [It's strange enough that he is refraining from work - something he tends to focus on because all else is out of his hands, but Ciel's tone is almost...apologetic. He isn't feigning it either - or, at least, he doesn't seem to be. His face is a shade paler and he doesn't look as pristine as he usually does.]

May I take the day off? If that's okay with you, of course. [He brings his knees to his chest and sighs.] I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

[If there is one thing Ciel Phantomhive doesn't do it's apologize. What is going on?]

[ When the feed turns on, there's a pleased look on Yuri's face as she continues to make bead bracelets. There's several on the desk - about ten or so - but she soon notices that the feed's already on. She meant to turn it on, but she didn't expect it to already be on.

There's a slight surprised look on her face before she gives a genuinely gentle smile, her voice calmer than usual. Maybe a little too calm, actually. ]

It seems like I made too many of these. Would anyone like one? Oh, and Otonashi-kun, Hinata-kun, and Noda-kun, I made one for you guys, too. All matching ones for the SSS.

[ Now that's strange. After all, it's not like Yuri to make something like that after all... ]

Oh, and if anybody wants one, it's no problem—

[ But soon enough, there's a grunt and an angry huff as she turns the feed off. That's strange; why would she do such a thing? ]

It's me again. [Judas clears his throat and goes on.] What places are hiring now? I don't intend to live off of the government paycheck forever - and nobody suggest Junes. I'm not interested again.

[When was that, that he worked there...? He shrugs, deciding not to dwell on it, and waves before clicking off the camera.]

[May 16th, action, Aquarius Ward]
( Atsuro's job at Monoceros Community College wasn't exactly stimulating... )

...Late that night, the sounds of tortuous piano playing can be heard wafting out of the open-access music room in the college. Anyone who investigates will find Atsuro staring at his fingers as if they're possessed while semi-competently playing what sounds vaguely like a polka.]

( By the fifth day or so, it has become patently obvious that something is wrong. )

Hey, everyone! I've got a question for you all. It's kind of hard to explain, but... anyone else just have this feeling that something's not quite right? I guess the best way to say it is, I'm pretty sure I didn't have three sets of grandparents. ...There's probably nothing to complain about, though! Free family members; there are much worse things that could happen. I'm pretty sure it has to do with those fortunes we got last week, heh; I got the highest one for 'family'!  But... let me know if something similar has happened, OK? Don't worry, guys, I don't think it's anything serious! (≧ω≦)ｂ

Oh, and hey, Kazuya...  I've gotta talk to you about something.  ...I think there might've been something like Persona already in our world.

( Hey, Minako... I think we probably need to talk. )
