	[Oh. Good morning?] My apologies, young master, but it seems we have something of a situation. Let us get you properly presentable ["dressed"] immediately. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Good time-between-the-witching-hour, you mean. Glances at the both of them and upon seeing the tenseness on Madam Red, concludes that this isn't some crazy torture test on preparedness on Sebastian's part. Ciel nods at Madam Red and spins neatly on his heels. Back into the room with him.] Report, Sebastian. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Being the considerate person he is, Sebastian lights another candelabrum in the hall so that Madam Red won't be left in complete darkness as he follows Ciel inside the bedroom after nodding politely at the lady. Hopefully the wasp creature won't return and break through the window while she's alone out there, try not to die, and so on.]

The morning greeting should have played twenty-eight minutes ago, [he'll leave it to Ciel to figure out what time it is from that, and that it actually isn't in the middle of the night despite the darkness] but it has not, and the lights have not been turned on.

[Laying on the clean clothes for the day while Ciel sits back down on the bed, before he starts dressing Ciel.]

Just now there was a creature flying by outside the window - I would liken it to an enormous wasp. According to the Madam there seems to be many of them about. She expressed concern about people possibly being hurt. [He could make a comment about that, but...]

["Did she express it or did she actually care?" Ciel curiously wants to ask, but important priorities first. They've only been there for a few days but Ciel knows that a lack of electricity cannot be good. He has a frisson of fear at the thought of the dome collapsing in on them from the lack of power support, but then realizes in the next instant that it would probably be a good thing. Sebastian, at the very least, would be able to get them to the surface before he drowned.

And of course, betrayal or no, they'd have to bring his aunt back with them. He'd just tell everyone that her death was greatly exaggerated and go from there. They could throw a Red Death Ball as a welcome back.

Ciel thoughtlessly goes through the motions as Sebastian dresses him, tilting his chin up for the ribbon, lifting his foot up for the sock garter. He holds his hands out for the rings.

Unfortunately, there isn't a forest around for them to gather wormwood or eucalyptus. At the very least, it would repel the wasps and allow them safe passage.]

Exactly how enormous?

[But of course Sebastian would see them safe and sound to the surface. He spent some time after they first arrived considering how he has actually never been quite this far beneath the water surface before... but naturally he's certain he'd be able to protect Ciel both from the pressure and the threat of drowning. There is no alternative to that.

All the usual motions, so second-nature by now that their current conversation isn't hindering in the slightest. Sebastian is as meticulous as always, buttoning every button and making sure no ribbon is crooked, even if today there's a more pronounced air of efficiency to it all. Sorry, Ciel, no morning paper and tea in bed today.]

I saw it only briefly, [and in the darkness, as much as that's not much of an issue for someone like Sebastian] but I would estimate its length to about fifty centimetres.

[Once he's made sure Ciel's eyepatch is fastened right and his hair is presentable, Sebastian draws back and rises from his kneeling position. Heading back outside?]

Depending on what additional information Madam Red has to offer, today's breakfast might be a short affair. [Or, you know, nonexistent. Sorry.]

Forget breakfast. That's not important at the moment. This place could very well be under attack. [By fifty centimetre wasps, no less. Yes, heading back outside, with a dramatic flick of his coat. Thank you, Sebastian, for making him fabulous during a potential siege.]

Madam Red! [He won't be as uncouth as to peer into her bedroom to find her, but has no problems scouring the sitting room for her presence, expecting Sebastian to follow him and be his light source. Where ever he finds her, he promptly tells her:] Sebastian has briefly informed me on the situation. What else do you know?

	[While the two of them were discussing, she went to the window to survey. Thankfully, no more wasps tried to attack the window.] There isn't much else to know, except the communication devices are still operable, though to what end is beyond me. Wouldn't be able to see anything anyways... Otherwise, the power is still out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[If you're going down it might as well be in style.]

There seems to be a number of bodies moving around outside, [the mobile light source helpfully provides. More people than usual, that is. Or "people". He can't really sense the difference; just that there are living things running around out there.

Sebastian could offer to go outside to investigate, but he'll wait for Ciel's orders.]

[So they have practically no information at all.]

We can't stay here. [Aside from the fact that they haven't been there long enough to set up a defense perimeter, there are too many easy points of entry for his peace of mind.] Sebastian, find out what you can and report back. We'll use the communication devices, since they're still functional and if they fail... [Surely Sebastian will have no problems locating him then, with their contract strongly in place.]

Madam Red. We need a defensible location, one with ample supplies. You've been here longer than any of us. What do you suggest?

	The clinic would be well defended, if only by din of the other employees there setting up lights and the Defense Force taking others there. [Turning from the window and to the door, she grabs her coat off a chair.] I will be expected to help there, as it is my current place of employment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[That sounds about as good as it likely gets. Sebastian doesn't protest anything of what either of them say - simply nods his understanding once.] Yes, my lord. [However:] Will you be well to make your way there on your own? [Should he postpone his investigation to escort them there?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Who does he think he's talking to? The Queen's Watchdog and not-self-proclaimed Jack the Ripper can surely defend themselves against a few measly beasts. Though that brings up a good point. He holds out a hand, expecting Sebastian to supply him with a weapon. It won't be Phantomhive silverware but at least he'll be able to defend himself if needed.]

Yes. Now go. Find me when you can. [Turns neatly on his heels, heading towards the door.] Madam Red, please lead the way.

[Making their way to the clinic had been surprisingly difficult, especially when Ciel is used to defending himself with firearms and a big, bad demon. The measly knife he wielded required him to get into close range combat, definitely not one of his strong points, but thankfully Madam Red was more than efficient with her scalpel and knife.

And if Ciel was a bit heartless in using one or two bystanders as distractions for the attacking beasts as he and Madam Red fled, well...

They'd successfully barricaded the clinic once they got there, letting in some survivors and putting them to work at defending the perimeter. He even directs some to start lining the ledges and windowsills with flammable liquid, just in case.

Ciel isn't nervous about Sebastian not reporting in, at least not yet, trusting the demon to do a through investigative job before reporting in. But when the minutes start turning into hours, Ciel starts to pace, making it seem like he's checking on the other survivors when he's really using it as an excuse to peer through the sliver of window that's still exposed. Where the deuces is Sebastian?]

[Off teaching entitled brats a lesson, that's where Sebastian is. And possibly killing off a quarter of all the monsters all by himself. For science, you see; just to make out what they're really made of.

Sebastian had plans for his return to Ciel and Madam Red. He'd stop by the apartment to change outfits, because it's terribly unbecoming for a servant to show himself in bloodied clothes, and he'd bring Madam Red a monster specimen to have a look at, if she'd like. She knows her anatomy - perhaps by examining a dead wasp she'd be able to tell something about how they work or where they come from, or some such. He'd find a box or a bag to put it in, of course; it'd be even more unbecoming to present her with a bloody carcass just like that.

But Sebastian rethinks this. If there's one disagreeable little creep with too much curiosity regarding his master, who's to say there aren't more? Why, Sebastian can think of two more demon scum around these parts just off the top of his head, and that's saying nothing of the good Madam. Before, he'd figured he'd made it clear enough (in that unspoken way a clever woman such as Madam Red should understand quite easily) that, should she so much as think about laying a finger on her nephew, Sebastian would deal with that accordingly.

Now he rethinks this. Very convenient, isn't it, to have Sebastian off to scout while she is left alone with Ciel (nevermind that this was Ciel's suggestion, not hers).

Thus, when Sebastian does appear, it's with his suit torn in places and blood running down the fabric, dried blood down the entirity of his neck, blood on his gloves, the corpse of an unfortunate wasp in one hand... Moreover, that's a very cute defense the clinic has set up, with all the doors and windows barricaded. It's only polite to enter through the door, so that's what Sebastian does: he turns the door handle with such force that the lock breaks before simply pushing it open and entering the clinic, completely in spite of anything that had been placed before the door to make it harder to push open.

Now then, he knows exactly where in the building the young master is. Ciel will very soon see Sebastian heading his way, completely disregarding any other person on the way.]
