Who: kakeravoyager and soulbait
What: TEA TOGETHER
When: November 11th, Mid-afternoon
Where: Ciel's manor at the north end of the village
Summary: Ciel asked Bern out and she accepted even though he called her old
Rating: PG?

[So... Bernkastel due to arrive, Ciel's in the manor, Sebastian won't vanish for another day or two, life is good other than, you know, the events of Halloween lingering over his head and being stuck in a hellhole of a village. But details, details. The point is that, awaiting her in the sitting room (no doubt with Sebastian assigned to bring her in) he's here ready to get fat eat his weight in various cakes and such Sebastian has set out and tea he's prepared.

A mundane meeting, probably, but one which will be ironically relevant when the one who made all the stuff here vanishes in a day or two]

And what would you make of a world which is entirely alien to Earth? [As there seem to be a few of those here]

[kakeravoyager.livejournal.com]

It is merely a reality devoid of Earth's existence for whatever reason. Of course, normally it's just the same Earth under a different name with a different history.

[soulbait.livejournal.com]

You referred to those worlds as "kakera," did you not... [He pauses here. Bern is a witch and said she had gone to many worlds in the past, but.]

From what sort of world do you hail?

I could have swore I answered this. Did LJ eat it or something...

[kakeravoyager.livejournal.com]

I don't have a world to call my own. [Said flatly] The abyss of the Sea is my home. It was there that I was born and it will be likely that I shall drift off and die there too.

Lj does that sometimes.

[soulbait.livejournal.com]

[For a brief moment he's actually surprised... but then concludes that could just as easily be a lie. He exhales lightly and then, with an odd little tone]

One could call that existence lonely. [It's unclear how sarcastic or sincere that is. He tries to keep it flat]

[kakeravoyager.livejournal.com]

[You're too suspicious Ciel - Bern rarely ever lies unless it's to her advantage.]

I call it boring.

[soulbait.livejournal.com]

[To Ciel, he wonders if some might not think of those as the same thing proving his is a hypocrite but he says nothing to this effect]

And so you venture to other worlds to amuse yourself. Has Luceti proved to be more interesting than that sea?

[kakeravoyager.livejournal.com]

Paint drying on a wall can gather more interest than that wasteland of an abyss. Not that I prefer to be here.

[soulbait.livejournal.com]

I do not believe there are any who would prefer to be in this prison, Bernkastel.

[kakeravoyager.livejournal.com]

Do you want to wager that?

[soulbait.livejournal.com]

[...] What would we wager?

[...mm cake]

[kakeravoyager.livejournal.com]

[A thoughtful hum. She takes a sip of her tea and continues.]

Information.

[soulbait.livejournal.com]

[Oh, a Game. That does sound fun]

There would need to be rules for this Game, of course.

[kakeravoyager.livejournal.com]

Go on the journals and pose a question: Would anyone prefer to stay in Luceti, given the chance?

If even one person answers that they would, then the match is settled. Simple, no?

[soulbait.livejournal.com]

[Hm. Well then...] Simple... quite.

And what will you wager?

[kakeravoyager.livejournal.com]

There's no point in wagering when I'm going to win.

[soulbait.livejournal.com]

There is no point in accepting the wager if I have no prize.

[kakeravoyager.livejournal.com]

...Ha.

[Fine. She holds out her hand and a small piece of rock appears. It's dark musky, but it can be mistaken for a gem more than a common rock. She places it on the table.]

That is your prize.

[soulbait.livejournal.com]

[...that? He snorts here before he snorts] I see no need to wager information against a trifling thing such as that.

[kakeravoyager.livejournal.com]

[She scoffs. A couple moments later the piece of rough gem begin to glow a mix of blue and purple and ascends a few inches into the air. If Ciel looks at it too long he might start to notice flashes of red and black - something resembling village immersed in darkness can be seen and a girl with long light blue hair. But, as soon as that image is seen the gem stops and drops to the table.]

A past game.

[...!]

[soulbait.livejournal.com]

[that might be worth it but...] Can I be certain this would work for me, who is not a witch?

[kakeravoyager.livejournal.com]

I will give you the authority to use it, so yes. But you will still lose.

[soulbait.livejournal.com]

[Hah] In that case, in the event of my loss I shall explain a previous "Game" of mine.

[kakeravoyager.livejournal.com]

Fine. [She's fairly confident that she's going to win - there must be at least one person alright with this situation.]
