[Ciel is surrounded by colorful wrappers and bright packages. He also seems to be wearing an apron.]

Stocking shelves is hardly an effective use of my skills. [It's actually a horrible use of his skills. He is very small - not that he'll admit to that.]

Is anyone looking for someone with business experience? I grow weary of my age being a factor. They act like I'm supposed to be honored to hold this position. How else am I to pay for my necessities?

[He wipes his hands on his apron and walks to the front of the store.]

I am making no progress in this city.

[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?]

[Tsukasa's voice comes across the network. He's not talking about how scared he was during that thing, okay.]

Mm. My Persona woke up during that... stuff. I don't like it. I can't get rid of it, right?

[That's annoying. He's quiet for a few long moments before speaking again, tone a little flat.]

And... how do you know if you're real?

[And even if he is real, what if the him outside of the game is so different than the him in the game that they might as well be two people?]

[The video feed turns on, and Naminé appears, standing in front of the stark white walls of the hospital. While she appears very calm, her eyes keep glancing sideways back to where the subject of her post is undoubtedly resting.]

Hi everyone. For those of you who don't know me, I'm Naminé, Kairi's sister. I'm posting this message for a few reasons. The first is to apologize on her behalf to the people she kidnapped and temporarily imprisoned last Friday. She was under the effects of the city event, and didn't mean any harm. [A wry smile.] If anything it was a sign that she cares very deeply for you.

[The smile fades a little.] The second thing I need to tell you is that some things happened at the end of the day that caused her to fall unconscious. Normally this wouldn't be anything to worry about, and it wasn't, at first. But she lapsed into a coma over the weekend, and I'm not sure when she'll be waking up.

[When the feed comes on, not only is it unusual because it's being broadcast on the public network, viewable by practically everyone in the city, but it's also tilted down at someone who is laying on the floor, wincing in pain, clearly coming from the watch on his wrist.

For those of you who have met the other Joshua, this one would look familiar... However there were two distinct differences. One, most noticeably, there's a large scar going down the left (his right) side of his face, from above his brow down to his chin, over his eye; that eye is also very clearly blind. The other difference was the black metal collar around his neck, bearing some numbers on it. And it was... smoking?? Were those black scorch marks on his skin underneath the collar.]


Well, I've decided that perhaps now is a good a time as any to give out a public service announcement to anyone from Alpha Omega... do not try to tamper with your collars. We may be universes away and yet I'm certain that Val is still laughing at us.

[He gives a bitter smile which quickly fades into an embarrassed scowl as he turns his gaze away from the camera with his next admittance.]

... Also, I can't move.

[Major electrocution kind of took a toll on him... On top of locked up muscles he thinks he might have sprained his ankle, maybe his other wrist too. Everything was simultaneously numb and throbbing painfully...]

Revolutionaries. [The bored drawl of an English boy begins this feed. Ciel has heard enough of the Anoli and, suffice to say, he isn't impressed.]

Creating chaos in government won't do any good. Unless, of course, your goal is something other than changing the government for the better.

[He takes a bite of something. It's crunchy. It might be candy.]

You are a fool if you engage in such activities. While I do not relish being under the control of anyone other than Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, I know well enough to stay away from the seeds of anarchy.

[The COMP's a bit canted to the side; Rune's on her bed, and you can see her legs dangling back and forth in the air behind her as she pokes at a piece of paper she's been writing on. She's keeping her head up with one hand, so she sounds a bit weird as she talks.]

So... guys, been tryin' to write down Anoli stuff after that stuff that was painted all over the city... and I just kinda don't get it? I mean, other than what happened at the tournament, do we really have anything that proves these guys as bad guys other than what the government people tell us?

[She made a face, poking at the paper with her pencil again.]

I hate cover up crap like this...

[The video clicks on, and Link (the younger one) is grinning and waving. There's a ball of fur in the shot, too. Link pats it before talking.]

There's someone I'd like to introduce to you guys!

[He tilts the camera down to reveal a very happy fluffball of a puppy. Said puppy barks and wags his tail.]

I'd like to, but I don't know what to name him! ... I've never named something before. Epona already had her name. Um... what would you guys suggest for a name?

How do you handle being alone?

[She's been here for two weeks and yet she should be happy. There's more people around, no crazy experiments or monsters, or anyone suffering a lot. But Sora...she feels out of place somehow. Perhaps it's because she hasn't seen her home in nearly two years or that no one from Fortuna managed to get here either, being rather worried.

Seriously, what the hell is with these sudden feelings of suck?]

No matter how many monsters I beat, I can't level up. I know this isn't The World, but since I'm in my body from there I should be able to level up, right?

It's not working and it's really annoying.

There aren't any quests or events to do either. It's annoying.

The shop did well this month thanks to Valentine's Day. [Speaking of which, that reminds him that forgot to give a gift to Lizzie. She will be getting something late, though that shouldn't completely diminish the thought put behind it.] I have learned a great deal about what the city desires in the way confectioneries. I will happily submit my findings to the owner(s) of the shop and see if we cannot expand our market.

[Ciel is in his element yet there is trouble looming on the horizon.]

I would like to make one thing very clear: the candy shop is not a place for brawls or bad behavior. What ever issues you may have with one another do not concern me. Should you make a mess of things, I will have you pay for the damage.

Consider that a fair warning.


[Private to Lizzie.]

It would be a shame if you didn't look by your front door.


[She will find a package there. Inside the velvet lined box is this along with a note that says:

I hope this remind you of home.

Love,
Ciel

Okay guys, listen up. I'm sure you've noticed that we've got a SERIOUS PR problem developing. As far as everybody else in town seems to be concerned, we're either celebrities or we're leeches and trouble magnets, and either way the longer we ignore this situation the more we're going to destabilize things. To that end, I think we need to band together and find ways to reach out to the natives, help them realize we're on their sides too. I'd like to propose starting a group to brainstorm ideas, work on PR, and generally work on our outreach. Otherwise, we may end up finding ourselves isolated, and that's not going to work at all.

Right now, though, we need a couple things: a place to meet, and a time. Is there anybody who could offer something like that? Someplace safe... and secure.

*There's an odd emphasis he places on "secure" for some reason.*

This city is starting to resemble London. [Monsters prowling the streets at night... Ah, how nostalgic.]

Even defending yourself may not be enough. [Isn't he helpful? There is even a positively diabolic smirk on his lips.] The monsters of the night can learn your weaknesses no matter what you do.

[He rests his cheek against his hand, looking...well...tired. After seeing his Persona (or Personas), he hasn't been able to sleep. He even has to suppress a yawn behind his hand.]

Then again, perhaps the monsters control this place. [It would explain his painfully familiar Persona(s).]

None of us are safe.

...is that what they are? [Ciel sounds oh so smug.] They could prove useful after all. [He seems to be making use of futuristic technology (for him) because typing can be heard clearly over the connection.] Sebastian, I believe I found a loop-hole.

[That last sentence isn't directed at anyone in particular considering Sebastian isn't in this world, which still vexes the little Earl.]

Are our Personas really a mystery until we discover them? [He chuckles coldly.] What a farce.

I believe I have solved the riddle to excelling in this game.
