His Butler, Wanting to Misbehave high_seas

[mephistophilus]

Playing the part of a gentleman does get tiring.

Would you object to a change of pace, Madame?

Change of pace?

[mephistophilus]

Wearing a mask does become tiresome.

[crooked_tail]

Mask?

[His tail flicks side to side as he cocked his head at the demon.]

You mean you're pretending to be something you're not?

[mephistophilus]

Precisely. {His eyes follow that tail. And those ears.} You are most interesting.

[crooked_tail]

Interesting? [It must be his crooked tail. Konoe tries to hide his tail behind his leg.]

How so?

[mephistophilus]

Are you endowed with the features of a feline? {Please say yes.}

[crooked_tail]

Of course, I'm a cat.

[Didn't it look obvious?]

[mephistophilus]

{This is a happy, happy day.}

I find cats to be lovely creatures.

[ballsoffire]

[Because standing about ten feet away doesn't scream socially awkward or 'weird' or anything. Subtle, Johnny]

It's a waste of time in the end, no point in lying about who you are.

[mephistophilus]

You see it in such simplistic terms. [Where would he be if he didn't lie?]

[ballsoffire]

I like the truth. Never been that good at lying anyway.

[mephistophilus]

So what you lack, you wish for others to abstain from as well?

[ballsoffire]

Hey, I'm also not a murderer or a demon.

[Keep your temper, Johnny]

I think the world would be better off with neither.

[mephistophilus]

You can't think of one person you would rather ceased to exist? Humans like to pretend they are above such things, but when your temper boils.

[He's a means to an end.]

I wonder. [White lies keep the peace.]

[ballsoffire]

The only person I want dead is in Hell. Safe to say, he doesn't come topside to talk to me very often.

[mephistophilus]

Have you ventured into Hell yourself?

[eyecontract]

Bored of the game already?

[mephistophilus]

Bored? Hardly. It is your duty to keep me on my leash and you have been absent for over half a year.

[eyecontract]

I've been right here. Surely finding me shouldn't be so hard for a Phantomhive butler.

[mephistophilus]

I can locate you here, Young Master, but I have yet to locate you in the other world.

[eyecontract]

Other world?

[mephistophilus]

Indeed. I have been amongst pirates for over six months.

[eyecontract]

Six months? Hurry and defeat them and get back to your original task.

[alwaysgrumpy]

Never did see the point of wearing suits like that.

[mephistophilus]

I see that you have never been a Butler to an English gentleman.
