Crossdressing nightmare
[The video begins unceremoniously. Before the lens is an opulent affair complete with entertainment and ballroom dancing. Ladies and gentlemen of high society are in attendance delighting themselves with all the gala has to offer. Ciel on the other hand is here on business, in disguise as a young lady.]
I can’t see anything over this crowd….
[He mumbled more to himself than anyone else.]
Have you spotted the Viscount yet?
[ He looked up at Sebastian, who was currently posing as his tutor but before Sebastian could answer they heard a familiar voice…]
That girl is wearing the cutest outfit! I must go speak to her!
[A chill ran up the youthful earl’s spine]
Sebastian! Elizabeth can’t see me.. Like this!
[For the next few moments the two tried to get lost in the crowd but Ciel soon found himself alone. Surrounded by the other party goers. The important thing was… he also no longer could see Lizzie. Drawing in a breath he slowly exhaled. It was a narrow escape. He turned to one side….. And came face to face with his fiancee]
There you are!
[He tried to mask his absolute horror and carry on a normal conversation. His pitch a little higher than usual as he tried to maintain the façade]
You must excuse me…. I --
[Elizabeth’s eyes widened as she began to realize who she was truly speaking to..]
C-ciel?
[Her tone was soft and hesitant. Her lip quivered as she drew a hand over her mouth]
I-- I don’t understand. Why… why are you?
Elizabeth, it’s not what you think!
[Although to be honest, he had no idea what she was thinking]
C-ciel…..Ciel…. How could you!
[She flung her hand to the side, and turned on her heels to flee, tears beginning to stream down her face. Ciel reached out to stop her but it was too late,.]
[She was gone]

video;
[More than just frowned upon. This could sully his family's name if it became public knowledge. How had he let the others talk him into this stupid scheme? Ugh and this corset was killing him...]
[Now he's wishing he hadn't muttered that last bit... out loud] Why do you think?! To STOP HIM.... [Ciel huffed. He didn't want the annoying CAT to know about his business anymore than the others but... he'd find a way to explain it away later]
video;
Uh-huh... so you're making yourself bait?
Re: video;
[He nods to the reply, trying to respond more lady like and demure now.. in case anyone is listening.]
Keep your voice down... you're going to ruin everything.
I didn't know this was a costume ball.. [Talking about the ears and tail while some guy passes by him in the dream.]
action;
W-wait, what am I doing here? [He looks around at the old Victorian party. Ears pressing nervously against his head.]
Re: action;
[Don't worry Ritsuka. We're ALL creeped out by this]
What do you mean-- you've been here the entire time. [He looks around the room.. taking his eyes off of Ritsuka.. but when he looks back]
How did you-- why are you wearing that (http://i00.i.aliimg.com/img/pb/161/242/270/1286595067856_hz-myalibaba-web9_1623.jpg)!
Tch-- had to try it for yourself? [Oh and the ears were covered by a matching hat]
action; 1/?
I was not! I was talking to you through the com- ...What are you talking about? I'm wearing what I alw-
action; 2/?
What the-...
Re: action; 3/4
...
......
.........
action; 4/4
[The boy's outburst is cut off by Ciel before he can say something very unfitting for a Victorian lady.]
Action; 1/2
Through the what? [Ritsuka wasn't making any sense. Not to mention he had to have just changed outfits in front of all these people] .. And you call me the pervert.. I'm not the exhibitionist.
[He watched as Ritsuka... touched his own hat.. and gave himself a once over with his eyes. This was more than a little peculiar to watch.]
If you're waiting for a compliment.... you're not getting one.
2/2
I thought I told you to keep it down! [He lunged at the other "girl" and cupped his hands over "her" mouth] You're going to ruin everything.... just stay in character... if you're going to help.
no subject
Help?! Who said he wanted to help?! He didn't even know who Ciel was looking for! Then as if to answer that question a deep voice cuts into their squabbling.]
...Fmphch?
[Finch? He looks up at him and catches the lecherous look the man gives them. A small disapproving sound rumbles in his throat but it's muffled by Ciel's hand. What is going on in this guy's head? Why is he having dreams that are like this?!]
no subject
[Ciel slid his hand off of Ritsuka's mouth when the Viscount approached them. He fought the urge to shudder at the pet names.]
Ah-- we were just having an argument, but it was nothing serious.
no subject
Um... [He squeaks softly, unknowingly playing into his girlish charade. Should he answer? He sends another glance to Ciel then looks back to the adult. What do girls argue about in the west... and in the 1800s?]
She... wanted me to dance but I'm too embarrassed... I-It was impolite of me to make such a fuss... [He cast his eyes down to the ground shamefully and starts to give a small bow... but remembers that girls in the west aren't supposed to bow... they're supposed to curtsy. Ugh... He swallows his diminishing pride and does a quick one, trying not to make any disgusted faces.]
I'm sorry for disturbing your party.
[He stands straight with his eyes still down. He knows he wouldn't be able to keep from sneering if he looked this lecher in the eyes. Ritsuka only hopes his timid act works just as well on 19th century adults as it does on 21st century ones.]
no subject
[That must have been what Druitt meant right? Searching Ciel's face didn't reveal any answers. It was difficult waiting to hear what would come out of Ritsuka's mouth. Ciel really didn't expect him to play along. If he was outed now... he'd be the laughing stock of the peerage. It would ruin him. Completely.]
[When Druitt leaned close, Ciel giggled slightly]
This is nothing.. [Implying he could be feistier in... other areas]
]
no subject
E-eh?! [Ritsuka's eyes widen when his chin is lifted. Why was this creep touching him?! Isn't this supposed to be Ciel's nightmare?! NOT HIS OWN! He tires not to look the man in the eyes.]
I-I couldn't! I-it's far too embarrassing and I'm sure I couldn't keep up with you, sir. Try C- [He stops not sure if the name "Ciel" was far too masculine in western language to pass for a proper girl name.] S-sis. My sister.
[He turns his head trying to free it from the man's hold and looks to Ciel.] She's a far better dancer than I...
no subject
[Perhaps the giggle was a bit much but... he wasn't trying to impress Ritsuka dang it. As humiliating as this situation was he had to keep up the charade. He was so relieved when the other boy didn't out him right there. Good... if Druitt was dancing with Ritsuka-- he could possibly meet up with Sebastian and plan the next move. That plan gets shot to heck in 3...2...1]
Ha hah ha-- [He waved his hand a few times[ You're much too modest sister dear.
[
what's going-- [Before he can get the "on" out Ciel goes limp against the guys arm]
]
no subject
That's i-
[He was about to but an end to this nonsense but was cut off when the lecher spoke. Take them somewhere alone? Oh, no way this was going too far. This dream needed to end now! He opens his mouth to speak but suddenly Ritsuka felt very light headed.]
I can't... Ci-- [He sees the other boy fall and just before he looses consciousness as well.]
Nn... [He slowly opens his eyes, but the view is blurry at first. It takes awhile, but eventually he's able to make out that pink mass laying next to him.]
Ciel? [He reaches out and shoves his shoulder to see if he gets a reaction.]
no subject
[The other boy didn't respond at first. When Ritsuka shoved him he started to come to, his mind swimming. The first thing he noticed was the bars. In his tired state he was prone to panic.. the cage hearkening back to his tragic past. His eye widened and he stood up... way too fast]
N-o...not this... not.....let me out of here!
[He falls back down in a heap of skirts, then he really starts to remember where they were..... thankful that the Viscount is no where nearby just now]
.........
[He sat up, huffed and pretended like he didn't just have a mini freak out]
Are you alright..............
no subject
... [When he fell to the floor Ritsuka watched quietly not sure if he should ask or...]
Huh? Oh, um, yeah I think so... ... ... Are you?
no subject
[Don't think it wasn't appreciated when Ritsuka didn't inquire about his behavior. Not so directly anyway]
I'm fine...
[Ciel crawled backwards in the cage and as far away as he could get from the newcomer.. as if it would do any good]
This-- this isn't possible! You're- you're dead!... I was there! I was the one that pulled the trigger...! [He didn't even care that he was revealing such details haphazardly to Ritsuka. The fear was overriding rational thought]
Sebastian! Sebastian, I'm here!
[But he could call all day and the demon wouldn't be coming. In the meantime other members of the crowd were beginning to walk closer]
[Ciel clamped his hands over his ears and stood up. This couldn't be happening could it... The noise was growing louder and more deafening as even more voices spoke up out of the shadows. ]
no subject
Ciel? Who is that?
[He looks over when the other boy starts to shout. Pulled the trigger? ...Ciel was a killer? But ...he was so young. Ritsuka watches him worriedly, normally the boy was so composed aside from the few outburst of anger. Who were these people ...and who was Sebastian? Though the way Ciel called for him reminded him of how he calls for Soubi.] Soubi...
[He was about to call for him, but then another voice appears, this one was higher than either of the men but that was all drowned out by the sound of a chain saw revving. They had chainsaws back then?! Wait, not the point... He realizes this might be too dangerous for Soubi. Who knew just how many dangerous things Ciel would conjure in his currently frantic state, he need to calm him down. Looking back to Ciel, he makes his way over to him, paying no mind to the third voice.
They were all just dreams, and figments of Ciel's twisted mind, but just like they could on his world in this world even figments can hurt you. Ciel needed to wake up now!]
Ciel, get up! Ciel!
[The voices and chainsaw were starting to drown out Ritsuka's voice, but that wasn't enough to stop him. He walks over and kneels in front of the fallen child.]
CIEL! [He takes hold of his hands and tries to uncover his ears. His own hands trembling as they pulled, but Ritsuka did his best to keep from panicking. It was a sacrifice's job to keep it together even in the face horror and to keep their fighter grounded. Ciel may not have been his fighter, but the boy was still in dire need of some grounding.] CIEL! Listen to me! Don't listen to them. This is your world and you need to take control of it!
no subject
[His breathing grew rapid, as he started to shrink more within himself. If he only had his gun, he'd kill that bastard again. Make sure he stayed dead this time. Weaponless, humiliated, and trapped in a cage he felt completely vulnerable. Even Ritsuka, though he was in the same cage seemed miles away. As if the Earl was trapped all by himself.]
[The cage bars seemed to keep the boys in but not the others out. They could easily pass through the cage as if it wasn't there. It wasn't until Ritsuka touched him, that Ciel remembered he was still here. Finally managing to pull Ciel's hands away from his ears Ritsuka starts getting through]
Dream... a dream.. why does everyone keep calling this a dream?!
[He shouted getting frustrated that everyone else refused to see what was truly happening
Least in his mind]I can't die here..... I haven't-- [Made those killers pay yet. Trying to compose himself wasn't easy]
no subject
They keep calling it a dream because it is one, stupid! And stop talking like that! No one is dyin--
[His eyes widen when one of the creatures appears inside of the cage with them. His hold on Ciel's hands tighten in both fear and to try and keep the other boy focused on him.]
Shut up, you're already laughing. That's all you've done since you got here.
[He hisses.] Look at me, Ciel. Would I be here if this wasn't a dream? I'm not even supposed to be born for another 200 years!
[Then he thinks of something else. He reaches up and removes his hat.] Look! Remember these? Remember how they make you sneeze whenever I get too close? Ciel, you haven't sneeze at all since I got here! This isn't real!
no subject
[
[ Ciel does start to focus more on Ritsuka and less on the noise around them.]
[
L-look at you? [He stared at the other boy-- in a dress-- Why was this git touching him. AGAIN?] Everyone could have been drug here with us... at any point in time.. Don't you understand..
[He tried to draw away from Ritsuka when he finally made a point that struck pay dirt]
That's right........I haven't. [Which made absolutely no sense given how close they were to each other right now.] What's going on... what's causing this? [He finally pulled away from Ritsuka and straightened his skirt, looking around the dream... the figures seemed to fade away leaving the two surrounded by nothing but darkness.]
