I am sure that many of you have noticed the strange effects the mysterious fog is having on everyone... I believe it best to stay inside and, if possible, away from all doors and windows. [ for what sebastian hopes are obvious reasons. ] If you happen to be in Traverse Town or by my Bakery please let me know immediately. I have created something of a safe haven in its basement and there is still plenty of room left. [ looks aside as his tone drops to that of a whisper. ] ...let's hope it leaves as swiftly as it came.

( ooc | ** ammended ** you can reply to the feed as normal, but for the action bit i'd like you to assume that sebastian, or somebody else, has let your character inside and lead them into the basement. NO NEED TO REPLY TO THE INTRO BIT ANYMORE. from there you may do as you please. threadhop and threadjack to your heart's content. feel free to also post new comments ( with headings! ) about what you character is doing or what your character would like to do. think of this like a party log, ...just with the aforementioned tweak. )

[ and with that having been said he severs the feed. slips the communicator into his breast pocket and returns to the basement. ] I know this situation isn't ideal, my Lord, but for now it will have to do. [ turn that frown upside down, ciel! let sebastian make you your ~*~favorite~*~ snack; pb&j. ] Let's take our minds off this nonsense and pass the time with a game... [ cue devilish smirk of douchebaggery. ]

[no_souls_here]

[Hiding out like a rat... was not exactly something the Earl enjoyed, no.] It can't be helped.. [dkgtjdklfjgdkljgkjf it was only the one time! You stick to Chocolate gateau The mist was just as ominous as the portals had been and no one knew how to clear the stuff yet..] ... [He wouldn't be opposed to a game but there was still something.. or someone on his mind] Before that.. have you been able to get to Elizabeth's shop? [She had a habit of getting into trouble... and it would be best to make sure she had some refuge as well. Ciel, your resident wet blanket]

[applejackd]

[ aj frowned. what in tarnation was this stuff. it sure was strange... and the past few things she'd seen on the communicator had only made her more wary of it. so naturally she didn't want to be in it or around it. she'd been in traverse town picking up some seeds the moment it had picked up... and so without anywhere to go she ran to the nearest shop and started pounding on the door. ] Hey. Is anypony there? ...ya'll have got to let me inside! [ scared, ...? you bet'cha! ] Please!

[aka_catherine]

[Washu thought now would have been a marvelous time for Nox Aeterna to shine, what with the regular gummi ship travel being hindered. There was just one teeny tiny problem with that... the tests left the craft needing some dire repairs. So when she saw the offer of shelter.. she did the next best thing she could think of.......

... she kidnapped Leonardo Da Vinci and brought him to the bakery. If she was going to help save someone.. it should be another great mind! Right?

She knocked on the door and asked for admittance for both herself and .. a little red wagon? Carrying a large burlap sack..]

[sinfullysublime]

[ ...you think sebastian enjoys being cooped up like a dog? no. ] I'm afraid not. [ a small sigh as he offers a light snack to his master. he's kidding. he'd not serve you pb&j unless you asked. or out of spite again. ] No. I have not heard from Lady Elizabeth, I'm afraid. I hope she responds to the message I made and, if not, I can once again traverse the town and look for her. [ but not even sebastian wanted to be subjected to the fog for long. ] I am sure she's alright, Master. [ gives him a small reassuring smile. ] Like us, I'm sure she saw fit to stay inside and out of harm's way.

[no_souls_here]

[The basement was fairly spacious even with the myriad of shop supplies stored here. With only the two of them down here.. a silence settled in around them....

Only to be abruptly interrupted by the frantic banging on the door. With a bit of a start, he looked toward Sebastian. Answering doors is your department...]

It seems like another guest has arrived.

[sinfullysublime]

[ as he heard another knock sebastian excused himself and ascended the stairs. moving toward the door he peered through several of the small panes in an attempt to see who, or what, it was. a small laugh left his lips as he opened the door for washu and her friend. politely bowing his head he stepped aside to let them pass. ] Do come inside and out of the fog. It's quite nasty out there, is it not, ...tell me, ms. Kobayashi, who is your friend?

[sinfullysublime]

[ for a moment sebastian eyed ciel. of course somebody else had arrived. he'd not gone deaf. his brow twitched and without a word sebastian moved from his seat and headed upstairs. crossing the dining room he opened the door only to find a... small talking pony. he blinked, stunned. ] Master... [ i think the fog has made me delusional. ]

[applejackd]

[ as soon as the door opened aj rushed inside. ] I can't thank ya' enough fer letting me inside. [ and with that she kicked the door shut with her hind hooves. ] I was as scared as a cat at the dog pound out there. [ she takes a seat and tries to recollect herself because she's still shaking. ] ...don't think we've met a'for, pardner, [ she lifts a hoof to sebastian. ] Name's Applejack.

[massiekur]

[The mist had left Massie drained, and trapped on Traverse Town. Just walking seemed to take tremendous effort. Normally... she'd never frequent a bakery. It's nawt that she didn't like sugar, it's just that carbohydrates were fattening... When she reached the door, she nearly fell into it, just managing to catch herself on the frame.

The bell on her gold charm bracelet rang when it slipped forward, giving her something to focus on. She needed help.... summoning a burst of strength she gave the door a knock]

[true_renaissance_man]

[The bag made a few feeble attempts to loosen the tie holding the opening closed but unfortunately the satchel was bound too far tightly. All he could do was struggle, a bit pathetically, with the burlap until some one decided to untie the bag. ]

[sinfullysublime]

[ just as sebastian started to go back down to the basement there came another knock at the door. he paused and, turning on his heels, returned to it. upon opening it, however, he didn't see anybody. at least not at first. his gaze dropped and slumped against his stoop was a girl. immediately sebastian knelt down and lifted her into his arms. ] ms. Block. [ idly he wondered what she'd been doing out in the mist, but nevertheless he brought her inside and downstairs. ] ...are you feeling alright? Is there anything I can get for you? a glass of water, perhaps?

[no_souls_here]

[At least you have something to do. Like inventory. He placed the snack aside long enough to carry on a conversation] The communicator has been devoid of her presence.. [Save for before the incident began but that granted him no solace] That is possible.. [A mist like this would not be so unusual in England .. but.. this was the first time it's happened here]

[executionerrose]

[This was really the last place Chloe expected to be. Trapped in a basement cellar with Ciel... and his strange butler. When he had asked Makoto out on a date he had certainly never expected to take her to such a place!
How annoying...

Still... She did smile so she did seem to be enjoying herself at least as much as any of them could be in their sleep deprived state. ]

[sinfullysublime]

[ oh yeah. because that's exactly how sebastian's going to pass the time. inventory. please. he'd done that all this morning. like, about six or seven times out of boredom. ] Let us hope that the fog's not interfered with transmission. [ and his gaze lifts skyward. or ceilingward. ] I will give it a few more minutes, and then I'll go out and see if she's around. [ a nod and he goes over to a shelf stocked with a series of strange... games... ] ...

[no_souls_here]

[Upon hearing the word "Master" he huffed and muttered] What is it now? [He moved toward the stairs, and caught the sound of another bang. What was with all the racket..? When he reached the top his jaw drooped slightly. Talking animals were... somewhat more commonplace here.. but this was a little over the top]

[sinfullysublime]

[ excuse you. strange. hmph! sebastian's not thrilled that you're here either, ...but he'd not been about to turn anybody away. especially not makoto. he'd grown fond of the girl recently. she was nice, sweet, and she too liked baking. and sebastian could set up something nice for you two if you asked. ] ...are you two feeling any better?

playing the boardgame trouble.

[applejackd]

[ ok. enough is enough. no more silence! aj couldn't take it anymore. it had become unnerving. ] ...come on ya'll, let's play a game. Looks like there's plenty of 'em here. [ and with that she moved from her seat and trotted over to the shelf. ]

[ she took a moment to pick one out and, grabbing it with her hoof, she set it down. ] Hey, lookie here, don't this one look like fun? Trouble. [ she took a minute to take the board itself out before becoming fascinated by the trapt die. ] Is it supposed to be trapped under there? ...aint'cha supposed to roll it? [ pressing down on the little bubble it popped, to her surprise, sending the die flying about before it landed on a three. ] woah! Now ain't that something.

[ yep. she'll be preoccupied for a few minu-- CRUNCH! and she accidentally crushed it under her hoof. ] ...oo- oopsie daisy. Ehheh. I guess I'm in Trouble... [ does that mean I win? ]

[aka_catherine]

[The pair probably made quite the sight. when the door was opened, she spared one glance over her shoulder before yanking the thing inside. It took a fair amount of effort but she prevailed.]

Why thank you~

[This was the second time in recent weeks that Sebastian had been of help to her]

Nasty is putting it mildly. My friend? [She laughed a bit before turning toward the wagon.] None other than~.. [She pushed the sack out of the wagon, and let it tumble to the floor. A drop of sweat rolled down her face when she debated whether she should have done that or not... no matter. Loosening the string she pulled the bag down to reveal~!] Only the world's most famous Renaissance genius~

[massiekur]

[She hadn't enough willpower to hold herself up any longer. She was just so tired, yet sleep did not come easy. Anxiety seemed to have become her master, exhaustion her only companion. What .. was going on? When she was picked up, she was only barely cognitive of it. ] Hm-yes? [That was her name, but who was saying it? That-servant-guy? She could use some servants.. her thoughts meandered a bit, but by the time she was taken downstairs she was a little more receptive] Just tired. How about a cappuccino? [Or something else loaded with caffeine?]

[executionerrose]

[VERY strange! You even built a bunker... how long had this thing been here anyway? It looked almost brand new...]

Why would you worry about that?

[Yea sorry Sebastian, Chloe is feeling a bit more disagreeable than usual, the lack of sleep was making him more grumpy. It is a great weakness for those who require sleep. :P
He'll never ask! ]

Tch, we won't be feeling better until this obnoxious fog is gone.

[sinfullysublime]

[ sebastian cleared his throat. he definitely hadn't been staring in disbelief. ] Sebastian Michaelis. [ an awkward smile purses his lips as he bows. ] ...and my Master, Ciel Phantomhive. [ motions to Ciel because GET OUT HERE. don't leave me with her. not until you pinch me, because wtf. ]

[applejackd]

It's a real pleasure to meet the both of ya'. [ a tip of the hat. ] ...and again I really appreciate ya'll letting me in. [ so with the introductions out of the way she's just going to look around. ] It smells awful sweet in here. Is this a bakery or something? ...ya' know, I ain't half bad at baking myself. I ought to show ya'll what I can do. [ looks aside a moment as she laughs. ] once I get the farm going a'course. Do ya'll like Applepie?

[true_renaissance_man]

[Said 'genius' attempted to recover from his none-too-graceful entry as best he could. ]

Signorina... When you came knocking on my door I expected perhaps a friendly greeting or a warning about the fog...

[His voice was a little more tense than usual, one might say angry even, but he was still attempting to be polite. ]

Not this!

[Leonardo picked up his cap, placed it back on his head and tried to fully free himself from the bag so he could stand. ]
