[backdated to Day 367] classy Victorians can afford being late to the party
a;

[Watch out! When they said, "let's launch our kids into the future", they probably didn't mean this: a Victorian boy sailing at inhuman speeds over everyone's heads.

The kid's desperately screaming "Sebastian!" even as he collides with… well, Sebastian. Who just so happened to arrive in the prison a moment prior. Saying that Ciel "collides" with him is selling Sebastian short: what happens is that Sebastian, in that one moment between arriving and having a flying kid crash into him, manages to turn around just in time to catch Ciel in his arms.

It’s… not Sebastian's best heroic catch. Managing to catch someone at a moment's notice is one thing – bracing for the unexpected impact at the same time is another entirely. With a grunt he takes a stumbling step backwards—

possibly right into you. You know, if you just happened to be innocently standing there and didn't have the reflexes to move out of the way of two people who were literally not there a moment earlier. Sorry?]

[[OOC: Let us know if you'd like Ciel, Sebastian or both for this option!]]

b;

[Five minutes later and Ciel's off, doing his part in finding more intel on this place. He's approaching people at random, turning wide lost eyes on others and wandering around like a lost child. Anyone in the vicinity will hear him poshly asking for help.]

I think I'm lost. [Looks down at his jumpsuit. How awful. Not to mention ill-fitting, the sleeves spilling over his fingers and his legs being dwarfed by bunches of cloth. Looks back up.] No. I'm definitely lost. Have you seen my caretaker? Tall, dark, ridiculously useless when faced with cats? We were separated and...I don't even know why I'm here.

[So innocent. Much helpless. The powers that be definitely screwed up with this one. Feel free to spill anything you know about this place to him, even gossip if need be.]

c;

[Five minutes later, Sebastian is on the other side of the dome, to do his part of the investigation. "Try to find a way to break us out." Not the easiest task when his demon powers are restrained, but of course he'll give it his all regardless.

At least his part doesn't require any helpless act - he's changed out of the jumpsuit, is strolling alongside the edge of the dome with seemingly perfect composure before calmly stopping, looking up at the wall... you'd think he isn't a new arrival at all, acting so cool about everything. That is, perhaps, before he turns his head towards any passerby and asks, pleasantly and with a smile:]

The dome truly has never shown signs of cracking, has it?

[Maybe he is a little worried, after all.]

	[Yuuri was not standing right there, but he does catch the end of what happened and he blinks at the two.] That must be what it looks like when Conrad catches me to other people. (Reply to this) (Thread)

[That's a pretty laid back reaction to people suddenly appearing in your world, Yuuri. If Ciel wasn't so busy trying to extricate his limbs from Sebastian's, he'd be pretty offended that Yuuri's using them for demonstrative comparison purposes.

Either way, he hasn't noticed Yuuri yet because this isn't the ~~Titanic~~ Campania???]

[Looks around in confusion.] This is impossible!

[Sebastian is amazing, if he does say so himself. After that one stumbling step Sebastian already has his balance back and has adjusted his hold on Ciel to an actually functional one.

They're probably both busy for a minute disentangling limbs and going ??? at everything and each other, even if Sebastian... sort of half-glances in Yuuri's direction once while he and Ciel get themselves sorted out.

It's only once that minute has passed, the two of them are satisfactorily untangled and both confirmed to be in one piece, that Sebastian actually addresses Yuuri:]

Might catching people in such a manner be a necessary skill to develop here, then?

	[Yuuri gives them a little wave and steps closer.] Conrad got good at it at home instead of here. I kept passing out. [There's a sheepish smile as if embarrassed by that omission.] It shouldn't happen too much here unless the wardens decide they like it. Did you two just get here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	soularpower 2016-03-25 08:21 pm UTC (link)
	...Yes. Wherever here is. [At least if he's going to be kidnapped this time, it's with his butler instead of without him. In this case, large mercies indeed. Ciel inspects Yuuri from his perch on Sebastian's arm.] Is Conrad your nurse? You look fairly healthy to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[A good servant doesn't interject too much when his master is having a conversation - Sebastian remains quiet, holding Ciel like a good pony and allowing Yuuri time to answer. Now, Sebastian's abilities to tell what exactly a person is aren't the sharpest, but... huh. No, certainly not?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2016-03-30 02:26 am UTC (link)
	No, no, Conrad is my... Um, he's the person who named me. [Which totally explains their deep and slightly unorthodox bond, right?] And you're in MarinaNova. It's a prison. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	soularpower 2016-04-05 07:27 pm UTC (link)
	[Oh! Well, that certainly explained his bond with Sebastian. Maybe naming demons should come with a warning label... Completely misses that there's something even to be detected about Yuuri. Natters away like normal.] No, it's not. [Yuuri, you're mistaken. He's seen prison and all it's permutations. This is not it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[:) :) :)] On whose orders, may I ask? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2016-04-08 08:08 pm UTC (link)
	It is? [He looks a little confused. How are you arguing when you didn't even know?] Orders? Oh, the wardens I guess or the people who built the wardens? Or the people who hired the people to build the wardens if they got hired. It just kind of happens a lot here. You can ask about it at the kiosk, but they won't let you go.

[Yuuri, you and your explanations are confusing.]

We're not in a jail cell. [Obvious the first.] And I'm sure we can persuade the wardens that they've made a mistake. [Obvious the second of "how dare they toss the Queen's Watchdog into incarceration?! I'm the one who puts other people in jail, not the other way around seethe seethe huff and puff" and all that. Which means that the smile he sends Yuuri is very fake, though he's enough of an actor that Yuuri might not notice.]

Are you the welcoming committee then?

	There aren't cells. The whole place is the prison. You can't really get out of the dome. [He shakes his head.] That's Euphie. Well, Euphie and other people I think. They send out welcome baskets. I was just...here. (Reply to this) (Parent)
