voice testing. completely homeless, but maybe searching.

[vengier]

Mundane? Is that what I'm supposed to call you? How ridiculous.

Sir, while I will say I appreciate you not currently considering sending me to one of those deplorable places you already have the poor fools in your head currently residing in, it would be best if you decided not to send me anywhere but back home. I don't take well to being kidnapped and I don't think the outcome will be what you're hoping for.

I don't have time for your silly games.

[john_drake]

None of us have time for their silly games, and yet here we all are. At their beck and call.

[vengier]

I'm at no one's beck and call. If I didn't want to speak, I wouldn't, no matter what he wanted from me.

[john_drake]

Do you really think you have that much control here?

[vengier]

Absolutely positive. [ Or at least sort of positive.

Maybe not positive at all. ]

[john_drake]

A confident young man. That's always good to see.

[vengier]

A lack of it would be too dangerous in most social circles, I would think. I hope it's not so uncommon.

[perceptiveness]

I wish you the best of luck with that. If you figure out the secret, tell me okay?

[vengier]

I'm sure it can be accomplished if you just put your foot down about it. And a lady should certainly have more tricks up their sleeves than even I would in order to get what they want.

[perceptiveness]

I've put my foot down about a lot of things and I'm still stuck wearing a collar on some stupid island. You'd think a giant scythe would have a bigger fear factor, but nooooooo...

[vengier]

Giant scythe? [ He can't help but scrunch his nose a bit. ] You aren't a reaper, are you? [ Here he thought Grell was the most feminine reaper there was out there. ]

[perceptiveness]

Huh? [blink blink, he seems too familiar with it.] No, I just work for him.

Because I'm voice testing too

[worstbutler]

Deplorable places? Oh do tell! The more wicked the place, the more ripe and sweet the souls to reap, little one.

I screamed, but I swear it was a happy one.

[vengier]

As if I would speak of such places aloud. I'm sure anyone who has you in their head would know all the disgusting "homes" by heart.

I'm a horrid person reviving an old muse

[worstbutler]

Ohhh!

[Have an entirely improper sigh, followed by a stiffening of the reaper's form]

I mean, I'm quite sure I have no idea what you're referring to, young man.

Or a wonderful one.

[vengier]

[ He gives an unamused snort, rolling his eyes slightly. ]

I'm sure you don't.

Come let me love you o/

[worstbutler]

[Grell will just ignore that snort for now. For now]

A lady such as myself could never know such things.

[At least he's a convincing liar]

Just like one would expect a young man of your station to be ignorant of such going-ons.

[alwaysinmysight]

Young Master.

[Maylene's voice is light and helpful, even as she asks-]

Is there a vermin in your presence that needs to be removed?

[vengier]

[ There's something like a twitch of a smile at that. Oh, Maylene. ]

If he refuses to cooperate like a civil gentleman, there just might be.

[alwaysinmysight]

I understand. Well, in the meantime, shall I fetch some tea? It may be a bit of a wait before he comes to the wisest of decisions.

[vengier]

Tea sounds like a particularly sound idea. Best to not go thirsty while he takes his time.

[petticuts]

Ciel!

[Such relief. And excitement. Mostly relief, hidden below excitement. No need to make the situation worse by getting herself worked up over it.]

You are here as well! How horrible of your mun to do such a terrible thing to you.

[vengier]

L-Lizzie!

[ Given the circumstances he was just talking about, seeing her here is the last thin he wanted. ]

I hope your own has no intentions of taking you any farther than this... [ What do you call this place? ] Queer domain. Are you alright? Are they treating you kindly?

[petticuts]

Oh yes! I'm quite alright, but your are so sweet to worry about me.

[She's still got the smile plastered to her face.]

[vengier]

Of course I worry. It wouldn't do to sit idly by while someone harmed my fiancée.

[petticuts]

[The smile softens and she gasps slightly at such a statement as it fills her with warmth.] Oh Ciel, I should know that you would try to put a stop to such a thing.
