on 3 continuously active years;

[expiatrice]

...Goodness. This is already embarrassing enough as is, you know. I'm very flattered that you consider today such an important date, and three whole years certainly is a long period of time, but you really don't have to be so worked up because of just that. Your friends must tire of your ramblings too, and you do realize what this means when I'm the one who tells you that? [...Right, some of us ARE aware of our expositioning tendencies...] So please, calm down and focus on what we already have on our plate. Things are quite hectic in that town, we've both still got a lot of planning to do and see through.

That said, I am grateful for everything. It's been quite the experience, going from one terrible town to an even worse one, haha. [It sounds better when you put it lightly...] There has been so many unanticipated changes, and while I think it's too forward of you to claim "it was all for the better", I suppose I can't quite deny it's been some of the most fun times I've had, even considering my stay in Japan spent with Tohno-kun and his friends. I do wonder sometimes how they're doing now, but things certainly are fine the way they are. Another 'me' must be actively watching over them somewhere, right? These alternate universes and differing dimensions can be quite practical too, when you think about it. Knowing that does put me at ease, but I can't say I care to know how the Second Magic works, nonetheless.

Aha, but let's cut it short here. We have lots of important things ["and people"] to get back to, this is just a small nod of acknowledgement towards all the time we've spent together. Well then, I'll look forward to the future with you too, miss mun. God knows where we may be this time next year, hm?

We'll beat it and if we don't, I'll just retire to a different part of the city for the day.

[expiatrice]

I'll find you. It'll depend on a few things, but I think I can plot tweak something that'll be hard even for you to refuse~

[scheming underhanded questionable ninja cleric nun pulling strings backstage again to throw whiny sulky loner babby bats a party he'll remember!! oh boy oh boy]

[encored]

[THE ANGRIEST BAT no okay he's only mildly miffed...]

I'll believe it when I see it, which I hope I never do. Anyway, considering the only party I have to judge your skill by is the one you threw for Cain and Abel... I'm certain you can see why I'm reluctant.

[expiatrice]

[he's always at least mildly miffed...]

Cain had it nice, didn't he? Father only got that treatment because he explicitly went out of his way looking for it. You haven't lived so carelessly, now have you? Besides, everyone had fun. You had a good time too, didn't you?

[encored]

[he'd say THAT ISN'T THE POINT but that would be a new level of immaturity even for him...]

It doesn't nullify the fact that it was a party well below my standards. You'll have to step it up greatly if you expect to earn my gratitude.

[expiatrice]

[he's growing... /sheds single tear of pride]

That's okay, I'm not expecting that. I won't even ask you how you feel after, but if it's a birthday party for Charles, I refuse to do anything pretentious or superficial. [there is no irony here.

no, seriously. NONE.] It has to be homey and heartfelt!

[encored]

[slow and steady wins the race... he also looks vaguely disbelieving because what is a party without pretentious things?? where is his hired concert pianist and fancy suit and tons of people he barely knows wishing him a good day? gosh, Ciel, those are the best of get-togethers.]

I don't know if you've noticed, but homey and heartfelt aren't exactly descriptive of the things I tend to enjoy.

[expiatrice]

[this is why you were alone and had no friends, charles

this is why...]

Kids often don't tend to know what's best for them. Besides, a change of pace is refreshing and healthy once in a while!

[aka "whenever ciel deems it convenient". that too...]

[encored]

[reason number one out of like 500 yes...]

No. [JUST NO, APPARENTLY.] Anyway, now that I have a bakery to terrorize, I'll leave you to your plotting and toss a coin into the nearest well to pray for your immediate failure.

[expiatrice]

You mean try, Charles. Ah, but if a heretic makes a prayer, what do you think will happen, now?

[this is

most certainly NOT

ciel's yandere smile...]

[encored]

[these religion and soul thingies don't phase him champ. THE YANDERE SMILE ON THE OTHER HAND...]

Strike me down where I stand, I hope, so that I won't have to sit through your inanities. [THUMBS UP no okay he doesn't really do that but he has the air of someone who would if he weren't such a gestures snob.] Is that all, then?

[expiatrice]

So a prayer in vain after all, hm?

[don't pray for her failure ok

...

granted then FIRST CHANCE SHE GETS TO KILL and she's back to being Nice again... sigh]

That will be for now, yes. Hang in there in Haven, okay?

[encored]

And you. I feel you need more luck than I, for once.

[AND OFF HE GOES bounding back over the fourth wall bye friend]

[expiatrice]

[but charles

luck has forsaken us the same way god has

:)

but she'll just smile and wave him off

LET'S DO THIS

crazy 4th wall shenanigans and horrorsville batman antics await, FAREWELL TO YOU TOO FRIEND]
