Hello? Excuse me? Pardon me? [a young lady looks at her surroundings anxiously, hands clasped at her heart, and a concerned look to her lovely features.] I was not in these parts once before, and I am very confused at this moment. Hello? [she turns her head left and right, then over her shoulder, both sides, before turning her shoulders inward.] I would appreciate some assistance? No... [she sighs, putting her hands down and her arms at her sides.] Well then, there is no sign of assistance to come, so I suppose it is up to me. [gathering her skirts in her hands, she glides forward and onward, head raised, chin up.] Pray to you, God, that my son and husband are well. That they are safe and that I soon discover what sort of abnormality has caused this issue. Come on, Rachel. Head up! Onwards...

[A lady in distress? Some how Chloé manages to be on the scene, melting almost out of the shadows with a warm smile and a friendly greeting. ]

Guten Tag.

[Which… might not be understood. Fortunately soon after he slips into the Queen’s English. ]

Are you lost? It might be dangerous for a beautiful lady like yourself to wander around these streets alone. May I be of any assistance?

[a little taken aback at first, but once she sees that he's friendly, she nods her head and gives a small smile.]

Oh, well, hello. Yes, I would very much appreciate some assistance. Perhaps a map?

A… map…

[He smiles maybe a little ruefully. ]

Yes, a map would be nice. I haven’t seen one here myself. But, maybe I could escort you to the hotel or two one of the moogle creatures… they seem charged with the duty of greeting new guests.

[Soma can't help but to stare at her closely.]

You look familiar...

[prettygoof.livejournal.com]

Ah!

[what was that?! lol, guess who hasn't found their phone yet...]

H-hello?

[epicdrawings.livejournal.com]

Hello!

Video 1/?

[Ciel hadn't been paying much attention to the communicator.. but something about the voice that came over it got his attention. It sounded familiar-- and yet not. Distant, like he'd heard it before but not in a very long time.]

[Catches sight of a woman wandering around the town. She looks lost quite frankly. A new arri--!!??!!?]

3/?

[no-souls-here.livejournal.com]

It-- It can't be...

[He just looks on for a minute, staring at the image on the screen and not really hearing what she's saying anymore. A flurry of memories rushing to the forefront]

[Catches the words "husband" and "son". It could be a coincidence-- couldn't it? It- can't be who it looks like. She died-- she was murdered a long time ago. The dead can't simply come back whenever they please.

Hearing the name Rachel--

It's becoming increasingly difficult to believe this is all a coincidence.]

[He tries to collect himself long enough to really address the lady. It could be someone entirely different, despite the striking resemblance. There are some things... you can never get back no matter how much you may want to. Internally admonishes himself for having momentarily forgotten that. He wasn't the same person he had been three years prior. He wasn't that innocent little child who'd been oblivious to any real hardship or suffering. It was foolish to have thought it could be.. her.]

6/6 The end XD

[no-souls-here.livejournal.com]

Forgive my earlier outburst, Miss. [Doesn't explain what triggered it in the first place] I assume that you are a new arrival?

Re: 6/6 The end XD

[turns her head







just stares.]



C-Ciel?

[A perfect stranger, that looks like his mother, that also knows his name?

Perfect]

Ah-- yes. I am Ciel Phantomhive. Might I inquire as to..... who you are?

[prettygoof.livejournal.com]

I am your mother, Rachel Phantomhive. Ciel what happened to your eye?

[no-souls-here.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid that is quite impossible. [Refrains from saying why]

I'd heard that the heartless will use any tricks they can to steal hearts... but I must admit I thought something like this was above their capabilities.

[prettygoof.livejournal.com]

Ciel, do no take that tone with me.

[no-souls-here.livejournal.com]

[She didn't seem at all phased or curious about the term "heartless" or the fact that he had changed.. lending credence to his hypothesis. She did at least ask about the eyepatch. Feeling a touch confident, he opted to "play along" for the time being despite the fact that it pained him to see the visage of his deceased mother being used for such nefarious reasons.]

I do apologize, mother. Your arrival was quite sudden and unexpected.

As for my eye, there was an accident a while back. Don't concern yourself with it, I assure you I'm quite recovered.

[crystal-stasis.livejournal.com]

Ah, they probably won't be here, but they might be. It looks like you're in Traverse Town. Do you need any help?

[prettygoof.livejournal.com]

I believe I may be able to find my way now. Thank you for the offer, though. Very kind of you.

[crystal-stasis.livejournal.com]

That's good. Did you find someone you know here?

[prettygoof.livejournal.com]

Yes. I found my son.

That's right Lady Phantomhive, it's me.



It's been a long while.
