42 dreams - Action

[dreamsofnoah]

[A dark, vast cavern of nothingness, no walls visible in any direction.

The very centre of it is illuminated, not by candles for once, but by an unseen source of light. A gentle creaking fills the space as an old rocking chair moves gently backwards and forwards. Seated in the chair is a large man, glasses obscuring his eyes and his mouth frozen in a gigantic grin.

And in his lap a little girl with dark gray skin and golden eyes, crosses marking her forehead. She smiles as the chair continues rocking the two of them, and over the creaking a soft melody can be heard, Road humming the tune in time to the movements of the chair.]


((ooc: open for anyone to interact (the Earl won't be speaking to anyone). I'll treat each thread as a separate incident. She's also perfectly aware that she's currently inside a dream.))

The Earl...?

_{[He will treat her like a princess. To do anything but wouldn't be worthy of the Phantomhive name.]}

Indeed. I do not remember the City ever being this...dark.

[dreamsofnoah]

Someone from home~.

[She'll accept the treatment as if it were her natural right.]

Everyone's sleeping~, dreaming away.

[trulydemonic.livejournal.com]

Of course. Forgive me, I am too accustomed to hearing the young master addressed as such that for a moment, I wondered.

_{[Someone will have to eat the sweets he makes in Ciel's absence~]}

Is that what this is? I wouldn't know. I do not dream.

[dreamsofnoah]

Oh~, no, not Ciel. There's only one person I call the Earl.

[Road will definitely never refuse sweets.]

You don't~? [slight surprise] They're not normal dreams though. But I like any~ kind.

[trulydemonic.livejournal.com]

I see.

_{[He'll be careful not to spoil her.]}

I'm afraid I don't. Sleep isn't so much a habit of mine. So this is all very intriguing.

[dreamsofnoah]

[Grell manages that well enough on his own.]

Planning on looking at some other dreams?

[trulydemonic.livejournal.com]

_{[He realizes. And would probably get the wrong idea if Sebastian started doing so too.]}

Perhaps. It seems somewhat of an intrusion of privacy, but on the other hand I find they are rather educational.

[dreamsofnoah]

[Would DEFINITELY get the wrong idea. It won't help that Road'll probably tell him.]

It always is~, to see what's really buried inside people's heads.

[trulydemonic.livejournal.com]

_{[Sob. Why must you make this harder than it is?]}

There is a certain truth in dreams, of course. And desire. It is only human.

[dreamsofnoah]

[Because that makes it more fun?]

You say that like you know it very well.

[trulydemonic.livejournal.com]

_{[Stop picking on your mother's boyfriend. She would get on so well with the young master.]}

I know enough. I could hardly be a servant of the Earl Phantomhive if I didn't.

[dreamsofnoah]

[She infuriated him horribly, actually.]

Hmm~. And that means a lot to you, doesn't it?

[trulydemonic.livejournal.com]

_{[The young master was never good around young ladies. He will have to educate him properly.]}

My body and soul belong to my master. I shall be his loyal servant until the day he dies.

[dreamsofnoah]

[Road would be more than willing to help with that.]

Oh~, he's lucky to have someone so devoted to him.

[trulydemonic.livejournal.com]

_{[Then they shall start once again with a waltz~]}

The young master is an ambitious one. He made me an offer I could not refuse.

[dreamsofnoah]

[Road will SO try to lead.]

Hmm~. [Curious, curious.] An offer that couldn't be refused to someone who doesn't dream. Ciel is definitely interesting~.

[trulydemonic.livejournal.com]

_{[Well Sebastian does enjoy a good laugh at the master's expense.]}

I suppose 'interesting' is one way of putting it.

_{[Are you on to him, Miss Road? Unless you already know. He blames Grell in that case.]}

[dreamsofnoah]

For a human boy~, he is.

[Let's just say that knowing Grell is a death god, and that the last time he was here Sebastian beat him - Road should know how bad those injuries were since she got to play nurse - she's come to her own conclusions about the butler.]

[trulydemonic.livejournal.com]

It seems interesting people are not few and far between here.

_{[Here's looking at you, kid. What can he say? He's just one hell of a butler.]}

[dreamsofnoah]

That's~ true. It stops it from being boring at least.

[Innocent smile. Just like Road's only a sweet little girl.]
