( Sebastian might be among the new arrivals, but he doesn't seem the least bit phased. It wouldn't be the first time that something out of the ordinary occured. He clears his throat and, as per usual, gets straight down to business. He's wasted enough time traversing this place with his newest companion in tow. )

Good Morning. ^Kupo!

I am Sebastian Michaelis, Head Butler of the Phantomhive Household... a name that I am almost certain some of you are familiar with. I have been informed, ^Kupo!, that my Master, Earl Ciel Phantomhive, is here. I would appreciate any information that you have on his whereabouts.

( Eyes the Moogle causing it to shrink away. Sebastian didn't care for its interruption, but it does deserve some credit for playing navigator. He takes but a moment to privatise the next sequence. It's locked to Ciel. )

Happy Birthday, my Lord. ( ...what perfect timing... ) I think that we have spend more than enough time apart, so I'd like to meet you at your earliest convenience.

( He switches his feed back to public seamlessly and adds, )

...and on a final note I am going to be available as a private tutor for those interested. I am proficient in ballroom dancing, close quarter combat, cooking, fencing, history, Latin, marksmanship, and music... just to name a few.

Please forward any questions and requests to my inbox located here.

004 Θ Video/Offline for Port Royal

[false-oracle.livejournal.com]

[It's been three days. No sign of his sister, no answer from her communicator, no ability to even get a message to her communicator.

For someone so ready to point out the more painful truths to others, taking Schala's loss again has not been a simple matter. He would pronounce anyone else vanishing back into the darkness weak or a fool; she was neither, obviously. So this is Different.

And it's also why he's in the shadows of Port Royal, watching the Heartless and the inhabitants of this world. The communicator has come on at some point and that's about all that the camera is showing. And it's a fairly still screen because the person who keeps that particular communicator isn't really moving much.

Stepping back from the darkness hadn't kept Schala safe. So obviously, it's time to start studying these creatures more. Because if he can understand their darkness, obviously he'll be able to find her again and keep her safe this time.]

{{ooc: if you're on Port Royal, feel free to run into him... if not, feel free to harass him anyway.}}

01st fight | video

[The video feed sparks to life when a hand reaches for the screen and accidentally pushes the butt of the hand against the ON button. A half-attempted groan can be heard over the static of the device being slightly dragged on cement.]

What is this?

[A shadow appears, looming over the device, stretching far. Judging by the distance, it fits with the noon time theme. There's a sharp intake of breath behind the device in the obscured background, before a high-pitched shriek, followed by cursing.]

What the hell happened to my body?!

[There's stomping and hysterical sounds, before the figure notices the device, and picks it up. The device is turned, and finally, a face can be seen. Young, stern, and outraged.]

Who did this?!

Oo2 ‡ Action/Video

So this is Radiant Garden.

[ And she fall silent with that declaration, looking above and beyond the communicator at the castle in the distance. That this world is one of the best leads she has at the moment goes left unsaid along with the how's, why's, other various details, and still more. She continues to lean forward against the rail that guards the steps leading from the Marketplace to the Borough quietly, eyes still fixed on that distant castle. Several minutes pass before she speaks again, this time addressing the audience with a sober tone. ]

I heard about the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee. Does anyone have a good idea where I can find the man that heads it at this hour? I need to speak with him as soon as possible.

[ Turning her eyes to the camera now, she pauses briefly, her gaze sharpening with clear focus. Now is as good a time as any. ]

I've been considering putting together a catalog of the Heartless and the items they drop, a bestiary of sorts to be made available to the public. I'm sure it would prove useful and there's a good chance we might be able to find out something about our collective enemy and situation from the gathered data, too. It's a pretty big undertaking for one person alone, though, so I was wondering, would anyone else be interested in making this happen?

You don't have to give me an answer right now. If you need time to think it over, take it. I'll ask again. You can count on it.
