Chapter 94 (Spoiler warning)

[makemelaugh]

You just disappointed me. You had said that this expression killed you, mun. And I had been soooo excited to put you in a coffin of mine~!

However... You wonder just as much as me what the meaning of this is, don't you?

[earlofphantoms]

You must endure, Undertaker. Their time will come.

[makemelaugh]

I know, but it's been soooo boring lately~!

[witcraft]

The meaning of which part, exactly?

[makemelaugh]

You would like to know what I'm talking about~?

[witcraft]

Well, yes, that's what I asked...

If you don't mean me crying, you mean Ciel being eaten, right?

[makemelaugh]

[She took the wind out of his sails. And here he thought he might get to laugh... oh well.]

Exactly.

[witcraft]

Well... of course it's a terrible way to die, but that's the price you pay when you're an amateur dealing with a demon. [not that... she knows he's a demon. canonically. whatever, it's d_m] Of course, a witch like me would have negotiated a much more favorable contract! [no, sieg, probably not]

So does your mundane mean that Ciel's expression killed them, or Sebastian's expression killed them?

[makemelaugh]

We have yet to see if he's dead, since the artist managed to twist the plot more than well so far~! So thinks my mun at least.

[Everything is allowed at d_m.]

Wouldn't a good witch be able to manage things without a contract~?

[Your answer, now.]

I could tell you which it is but...

[witcraft]

Of course! [in a haughty, know-it-all voice] Dealing with demons is a last resort. And it's really not recommended, unless you really have no other choice.

My mundane doesn't think there's any possibility of Ciel dying, and that the people who think he might be dead are stupid. Worst-case scenario, it changes his personality or something.

[waits for him to finish the sentence, and when it doesn't, she blinks in surprise] ...but what?

[makemelaugh]

If it's not recommended why is it a last resort at all~?

[He'll have a cookie while she talks.]

It's the same with mine~!

[Maybe he does get his chance for laughter still...]

I want something for telling you which it is~!

[witcraft]

W-Well... because, you know, sometimes you have to do things that aren't recommended...

Huh? Like what?

[makemelaugh]

Make me laugh~!

[witcraft]

Huh?!

By... tickling you or something?! [apparently doesn't know how to tell a joke. to be fair, no one in wolfsschlucht is really a barrel of laughs...]

[makemelaugh]

Not by tickling, by telling me a joke~!

[He and the mun read as much. It's never to late to learn something new.]

Or something funny that happened to you once~!

[witcraft]

Um... well... [she mulls this over for a moment, trying to think of exceptionally funny stories she's heard before]

...in a play I read once... the queen's sons confront her Moorish lover after she gives birth to his child. One demands, "Villain, what hast thou done?!" and the man replies, "That which thou canst not undo."

The second son says, "Thou hast undone our mother!" — meaning, of course, that she has given birth to a black child. And the man's reply is —

[witcraft]

"Villain, I have done thy mother."

[the best "i did ur mom" joke, thank u shakespeare]

[makemelaugh]

... Try again.

[Othello, wasn't it? Anyways, he's going to be nice and gives her another try.]

[witcraft]

Aww, I thought it was funny...

[or maybe he's heard it before, titus andronicus isn't that obscure of a play. thinks on this harder!!]

[...yeah she gives up] ...I don't know... what's something that's made you laugh before?

[makemelaugh]

You really haven't heard many funny jokes or stories before, have you?

[Which is really sad.]

[witcraft]

I guess not... none of the books in the library are just for fun. They're all about herbs and spells and things.

[considers] Well, Wolfram fell into cow poop a few times... but that's not really funny unless you're there to see it.

[makemelaugh]

[Those stories aren't really his thing either.]

Poor thing, never having heard a proper joke before...

[It's really sad in his opinion.]

[witcraft]

Why don't you tell me one, then?

[makemelaugh]

I would love to, but I was told my humor is rather odd~!
