[ once in front of lenalee's residence does sebastian slow to a stop. his lips quirk in a smile as he fetches an envelope that's tucked away in his breast pocket. stooping down sebastian slides it beneath the door and, turning on his heels, he returns to his shop. ]

[ the letter reads: ] ms. Lenalee.

I, first off, ought to apologize for the delay in my response. I had wanted to congratulate you sooner on making a favorable impression during our interview... but certain events prevented such. I am pleased, however, to be writing now to inform you that there's an open position at Devil's Food Cakes for you. If you're interested please contact me as soon as possible.

-- Sebastian Michaelis

[ and several minutes later sebastian is back home. it's late, thus the bakery's technically closed, but there are still several lights on inside. dead center, for anybody that's looking, sits a table dressed for two ( possibly three ). ]

[ it's become habit, so to speak, to cook for those he shares a roof with... and so he's moving between the kitchen and the dining room outfitting the table with a scrumptious looking array of foods. hopefully the smell will be enough to draw hermione from her room and away from her studies. cheza, too, if she'd like some company, since he figures she won't be partaking in this particular set of delights. ]

[ sebastian's made a lot of food. perhaps a bit too much food. anybody that happens by the bakery feel free to pester him for some. no doubt the smell is wafting out onto the streets. ]

[With Sebastian moving back and forth between rooms it's easy enough to slip up behind him and become the first thing he sees when he turns to return to the other room. The smiling face of Undertaker is a nice surprise, isn't it? ]

Taking good care of your guests, as always~? How nice~

You seem to have acquired more than I remember...~

action;

[sinfullysublime]

[ nice. hardly. stops mid stride as he lifts a brow. ] ...there must be an entire chapter dedicated to breaking and entering in that ridiculous shinigami hand book seeing as you all do it so often. [ his eyes narrow just a bit as he steps past the other and sets a few more things on the table. turns, bringing his arms to a neat fold. ] To what do I owe this please?

action;

[death_is_a_riot]

[Aw, so cold to an old friend. ]

You hadn't been by to see me for so long, so I came to see you instead~

[So many place settings! Undertaker looks at the table with an appraising eye. ]

How lucky you must be to know so many people~

[ Cheza quietly heads down the stairs from her room with a hand on the wall to steady her. unfortunately, she can't see all of the delicious food everywhere or else she would at least appreciate the hard work that he put into everything ]

[ action ]

[sinfullysublime]

[ almost misses the subtle padding of her feet on the stairs as she descends. turns and steps over. ] Cheza. [ smiles as her name falls under his breath. it's alright. he can't enjoy the food either but for another reason entirely. ] I am glad you've come to join me. I have some water for you.

[ action ]

[thisonemaiden]

[ Cheza stops, smiling when she hears his voice ] This one was going to get some water, but you have some here. Thank you.

【 ACTION 】

[knowledgephilia]

This certainly looks delicious, Mister Michaelis! You really shouldn't have!

[It's so much food! Oh, she's starving. It's hard to be proper when you want to eat everything.]

【 ACTION 】

[sinfullysublime]

[ smiles. ] It's the least I could do. [ sebastian had made a point to see the foods that she ate each time he prepared a meal so he could include more and more of those particular things. but to keep the different meals from going stale he'd also add a few complimentary dishes here and there, ones he thought she'd like based on her eating habits. pulls a seat out for her before taking one for himself. ] I made a few new special dishes tonight. I hope they're to your liking.

【 ACTION 】

[knowledgephilia]

I'm sure they are. You certainly are a talented baker and cook.

【 ACTION 】

[albinoidiot]

[Curse you, Sebastian. Dante had a sensitive nose and in the middle of his nap he had smelled something delicious. He followed the scent and found himself with his face pressed against the shops window. So much food and it all belonged to that asshole.

Having enemies was tough. Sebastian wouldn't share with him, would he? Probably not.]

【 ACTION 】

[sinfullysublime]

[ sebastian can sense dante before he can see him, and as he notices the other with his face pressed against the window he curses himself for not having closed the blinds. tries to ignore him, but that poor glass... quit mucking it up dante! heads over to the door in two strides and with his arms folded he clears his throat. ] Can I help you?

[Action]

[sanguineheels]

[Of course, she'd received the letter, and still being interested in the position she wanted to respond promptly. Though the day was growing to a close, here she was, at the door of the bakery door. At least there are lights on -- perhaps Sebastian is still inside?

Tucking the letter into a pocket, she lifts a hand and raps on the door]

Mr. Michaelis? Are you in?

action;

[sinfullysublime]

[ sebastian had settled in the corner with a kettle of tea and a book. the former, of course, being more for appearance than anything. he couldn't afford to garner anymore suspicion about his self. about to take a sip he heard a knock at the door. ]

[ this late...? odd. but, then again, he'd been getting a lot of guests tonight. setting the book down he strode to the door and propped it open, surprised to see lenalee. pleasantly surprised. ]

ms. Lenalee. Please come inside. [ bows, and steps aside to let her pass. ]

[Ciel had already made an impromptu inspection of Sebastian's bakery. It figures that even in the butlers absence the business was flourishing. It would have been more amusing for the Earl if it hadn't been. The worst part of his investigation is that Sebastian had been completely aware of it. His mission had failed on all fronts. Ah well, it couldn't be helped and he certainly wasn't going to dwell on the matter.

Having been drawn to Traverse Town on some earlier business he decided to drop by Devil's Food cakes. It was past the bakery's normal hours of operation so he assumed that he would be able to have a private audience with Sebastian.

What he was met with however... ]

That scent... [The scent of the fine cuisine wafted out into the street.. and it was unmistakably Sebastian's handiwork but not all of these delicacies were items he'd sell in a shop like this. A restaurant maybe. What was going on?]

[He approached the door and gave it a knock]

action;

[sinfullysublime]

[ and another knock. sebastian let out a sigh. he had just sat back down. peering over the edge of the book he looked toward the door. remaining still he couldn't help but chuckle. it was his master... the child's scent unmistakable. he wondered just how long he could ignore ciel before it might look suspicious. a few more minutes, perhaps, and so sebastian returned to reading. ]

[ eventually, though, he stood and moved over to the door. opening it he smiled down at his master. ] ...my my, aren't you out late. Is this another surprise inspection?

[ action ]

[namaste_jagat]

Have I really been out this long? [Agni questioned himself pensively. He had gone out to buy a few supplies.. but that was hours ago. He hoped that his roommate wasn't getting concerned about his absence. Agni had left a note... but... Joruk could have missed it, maybe he should get out the communicator and call that way.

Shifting the bags he was carrying about, he couldn't seem to get a hand free to grasp the device.

It- was probably okay. He was heading home now.

Heading back to the gummi docks, he happened to pass close to Devil's Food bakery. The scent was something that it would be hard for anyone to ignore, especially for a fellow chef.]

Whoever... created these dishes has used only the best spices!

[In his excitement, Agni balled a fist and drew it towards the side of his face, dropping a bag in the process. Hearing the clang of utensils on the ground snapped him out of it long enough to retrieve the items.]

Could it be? Sebastian? [He looked towards the closed shop]

action;

[sinfullysublime]

[ a small sigh passed his lips as he looked at the spread of food. this wouldn't be the first time he'd made too much. well at least they'd have some left overs for a few dozen lunches. he'd been about ready to start putting some of it away when he heard something from outside. ]

[ moving to the door he lifted a brow. now what could that have been... a clatter soon arose and he peeked his head out to see agni not all that far away. a small smile spread over his face and he stepped out. ] If it isn't my old friend. [ stepping over he knelt down and helped to pick up the bag he'd dropped. ] How have you been? Well, I hope.

[Action]

[the_most_talent]

This.. looks like the place.

[Makoto looked down at the communicator in her hand then back up at the building in front of her. She'd spoken to Hermione recently about the bakery and she was interested in seeing it for herself. It had taken her a while to find it.. and it looked like it was too late now]

I.. didn't make it.. but at least I know where it is now.

action;

[sinfullysublime]

[ and he had started to clear down. most of the food had been put away, but there was still a fair share still on the table. he stopped, taking a bit of a break as he caught sight of someone outside. turning around, sebastian moved over to the door. ] Excuse me, Miss, can I help you? [ sebastian thought it strange for someone to be wandering around this late at night so he figured she'd come here with purpose. ]

[Action]

[aka_catherine]

Well that was a waste of time..

[Washu mused to herself about one of her recent projects. She was strolling down the street with her eyes closed and her hands clasped behind her head.

As she rounded the corner she ran into something that caused her to open one eye.]

What the...?

[This place had never smelled this good before. Spying the bakery, her stomach rumbled on cue.]

It has been a while since I've eaten anything...

[She found herself drawing near enough to peek in the window for herself.]

action;

[sinfullysublime]

[ almost done. he had spent the latter half of the evening clearing down and he had only just found time to put the garbage out. as he started to head back around to the front of the bakery he spied someone else standing at his door. he craned his neck a moment to look on as they stole a peek of the wares residing inside. a smile pursed his lips as he slid up behind to peek along with them. ] I have plenty left.

Action

[quiet_devotion]

[There was something about the bakery that intrigued Kaname.. and it had nothing to do with the food. He held a favorable impression of Hermione, the girl was always so polite and approachable, and she was a witch. Cheza, the girl he'd only just recently met via his wolf manifestation also resided here. She was also sweet as far as he could tell.. but what was she? It was more than just a human.. wasn't it? Then the most unusual of all was the owner himself.

This Sebastian character.. rarely made an appearance on the communicator.. which was quite sensible actually but suspicion had already been aroused both from the temporary deal with Hades and when Hermione had invited him to the bakery before. The scent in that place...

That butler/entrepreneur was not human either.

When Kaname neared the shop.. he looked toward it. He's here... He really had no reason to question the .. man but.. he was a bit concerned for the girl's well-being.]

It's... really none of my business.

[Hermione had seemed quite fond of Sebastian, and Cheza probably was as well. The only person he should be concerning himself with was Yuuki.. but still, he wondered if the girls knew what sort of person they were living with]

action;

[sinfullysublime]

[ there. all done. sebastian sank into his seat as another sigh passed his lips. hadn't that been an eventful night. he didn't think that he'd get that many guests, ...at least not after hours. a small chuckle passed his lips as he considered extending the bakery's hours of operation. it would certainly increase revenue. not that money had ever been much of an issue since the bakery had been doing well from day on. either way it was an option, and one he'd bring up with hermione. ]

[ his gaze dropped to the book he'd been reading and a small smile spread over his face. finally he'd have some time to relax. he slid his hand up its spine before picking it up and continuing from where he'd left off earlier. ]

[ not even a few minutes later did he sense someone outside. ] ...again? [ all he wanted was to relax. was that really too much to ask? he would have ignored it this time around but whoever it was wasn't human. hiding amongst the shadows sebastian slid over to the door only to see a familiar face outside. well... as familiar as one could get from glances at the girls communicators. he'd seen them talking to him on occasion, but he'd never bothered to look into him... mainly since he didn't care. there was something off about him, sure, but ciel never made mention so he figured he wasn't important and most certainly not a threat. but why was he here? ]

[ concealing his aura, sebastian slipped out the back and moved around the town so that he could take perch on the building directly behind kaname. ] ...what isn't any of your business, ..?

action;

[offrillsandswords]

[Lizzie had spent most of the day working as hard as the young girl could, working for her store and also working on the booklet and welcome committee. She had been busy for the past week and she figured that she will only keep getting busier during the next week as well.

But there was one thing the girl knew she had to do and that was to gather information on every business in this town first. With that in mind the young girl walked through the town at night, a bunch of papers in her arms as she set about doing her job and the first place she was going to hit up was one she knew who owned it.

So reaching the door, she straightened out her dress, nicely before smiling, taking in the smell and knocking lightly.]

action;

[sinfullysublime]

[ and sebastian had once again taken a seat at the back of the small dining room and started to read. finally, some peace and quiet. he would get through this book no matter what. but as another knock broke the silence he set the book down... later, it would appear, he'd get to continue. biting back a sigh he rose and moved over to the door. much to his surprise it was elizabeth. opening the door he stepped aside to let her in. ] ...Lady Elizabeth, my, isn't this a pleasant surprise. Do come in.
