Vingt-Quatre † another year unacknowledged
[Ciel didn't sleep the night of May 2nd. The 3rd doesn't really mean much to her. She can't say she looked forward to or dreaded the day, but remembering clearly what she received from the Post Office at the same time exactly one year ago... She's undeniably apprehensive, yes. So it wasn't really a surprise to find the package by the mailbox, when she took a quick glance outside the living room window at the crack of dawn.
...No sense dragging it out. She's come to terms with a number of things since anyway; the past year has been draining, but good things have happened. So not really thinking about what it may be, she takes the box inside and effortlessly opens it on the living room table.
...
A... book. A recipe book of baked goods, to be more specific. The last time she saw this must be a decade or so ago.
H...ah. This town really has a sense of humor, huh? Briefly closing her eyes, she rubs her temple beneath the frame of her glasses. After continuing to idly stare at it for a few more seconds with an expressionless face, she resumes the day by throwing out the packaging and bringing the tome with her to the kitchen.
This is useless to her as a memento. She doesn't have much time these days to wallow on by herself anyway, so maybe it's a strangely fortunate thing that of all possible objects, it ended up being the records of her parents' hard work. With how much cooking she's been doing since her arrival here, it's well feasible that she'll be able to make a great deal of what's written down in there on her own - provided that Mayfield's got the necessary ingredients, anyway.
She's already decided on a typical pancakes breakfast today, but this'll be a good read before work. ...Maybe she should bring it with her too, she could try a few things out after class.]
[Phone - Public]
[Right, there was also prom. Then THAT MEANS ONE THING.] I'm sure everyone must be aware of it by now, but don't forget that Prom is on the 18th, roughly two weeks from now! Talented tailors and seamstresses are already offering their services, so it shouldn't be hard to find something nice to wear. As Mr. Quinn already mentioned last week, dates are optional, so don't be afraid to come alone. You may even meet someone there, so don't be shy!
That said! [here it comes...] I'm in care of a sheltered young boy who's not very good around people. He is quite important to me, so I'd like to find him a charming young lady around his age to accompany him to Prom. ...Though a boy wouldn't matter either actually, I'd be okay with that! He may be a bit crass and rude at times and talk like he's much older than his prepubescent looks, but you have my word that he's an exemplary gentlemen when he behaves. Sporting the image of wise and cool, he is actually quite knowledgeable in history and prides himself to be quite intelligent and capable. He does seem to harbor an uncanny weakness to women with golden blond hair and crimson red eyes, but please don't be deterred. With raven hair smooth as silk and pale skin like fine porcelain, his appearances are actually quite angelic. If that's still not quite enough to cause consideration, I'm willing to negotiate with anyone interested... other means to incite acceptance. So if there's any interest or more questions, please let me know!
[Hmm. Hmm. It may be obvious to some, but there IS more than one shotapire in town, isn't there... but it's not like she's PURPOSEFULLY trying to create some confusion, not at all--!]
[Action]
I. Grocery store → Church ;; Early Afternoon
[Guess who's carrying 5 million bags of stuff again! ...No beef, potatoes, carrotsand other typical curry ingredients and such today, however. Still in her civilian clothes, Ciel seems to be exclusively carrying flour, fruits, sugar, eggs, and other things one would presumably need in baking. She's doing fine whether you're just watching from the sides or walking towards her, she's usually pretty good at balance right...]
--Ah, please be careful!
[STILL MIGHT BE IN EVERYONE'S BEST INTEREST to avoid collisions just in case, though... Better be safe than sorry! She's got like two dozen eggs in there, that would be bad to break, ;;;]
II. Church ;; Afternoon
[Anyone who steps in during the evening will be slammed in the face with the enticing sweet scent of baked good. ...But isn't the kitchen in the back? Even if it may be going through excessive use today (which is actually is...), how does it really spread--
--Oh.
If you walk further in, the fact that there's a plate of mixed berry flaugnarde next to a tray of two dozens canelé might explain why it smelled so good. Both are still hot too, upon closer inspection; it must have been baked within the last hour. No one else seems to be around, but the smell is definitely coming from the hallway leading towards the left.
...
What do?]
III. Church ;; Late Evening
[The night is much calmer. Despite everything, this date today means something, she supposed, so at least something has to be said to whoever Above to acknowledge the significance.
In the end, Ciel settles on reciting the Memorare in French. Prostrated in front of the Altar with her headdress on, which is rare, she chants quietly.]
Souvenez-vous, ô très miséricordieuse Vierge Marie, qu'on n'a jamais entendu dire qu'aucun de ceux qui ont eu recours à votre protection, imploré votre assistance, ou réclamé votre secours ait été abandonné.
Animé d'une pareille confiance, ô Vierge des Vierges, ô ma Mère, je cours vers vous, et gémissant sous le poids de mes péchés, je me prosterne à vos pieds. O mère du Verbe incarné, ne méprisez pas mes prières, mais écoutez-les favorablement et daignez les exaucer.
Amen.
[Once she's done, however, she doesn't stand up from the spot. ...She owes more than a simple prayer, doesn't she? So even if the Church is silent once more, she'll keep her eyes closed and stay bowed.]

IV. Town ;; Late Night
[It's past midnight. It may be on a particularly tall tree. It may be on a lamppost. It may even be on the roof of your house. Wherever it is, upon closer inspection, the night sky isn't the only thing there. ...Actually, someone seems to be perched/sitting on top of that place without effort, while idly taking their time to stargaze.
Nothing too strange about that, right... Interrupt?]

[Especially now that she got her parents' cookbook BETTER BELIEVE ciel's house/the church >>>>>> mayfield's actual bakery--!]
I'll do what I can, and if there's something you should know, I'll tell you right away. So hang in there and take it easy, okay?
no subject
I-I'll try to do my best, Ciel onee-chan.. I haven't heard about this Marisa Kirisame person before though, but.. maybe she was one of the people lived with you? I saw the pictures standing around in the house when I was there..
no subject
no subject
Is Ciel onee-chan sure..? The two of us.. w-we could get along?
no subject
no subject
I-I would like that.. if it's not too much trouble. It's nice to know nice people in this place, right..?
no subject
It is, so I'm sure that you'll do fine. That said, how's school? Did you meet anyone new, recently? [Because if nothing else, mayfield education is a good excuse to socialize!]
no subject
N-not really anyone new.. I noticed some familiar faces were droned though, so.. that was a little disappointing.
no subject
...
She tries holding back a sigh, but there's still something.]
I'm sorry to hear that. [...] Are you busy now, Nadeko-chan?
no subject
N-not really.. Why, Ciel onee-chan?
no subject
I have to do some groceries today because there's a few new pastry recipes I want to try making, so I need new ingredients. Would you like to come along? I'll be doing the baking at the Church after, which should be empty at this time of the day. [and this works out because she doesn't want Nadeko to freak out at people, which sort of rules out both their houses] You're free to join me for that too, if you'd like? I bet some of these are things you've never heard of, much less tasted before!
no subject
.. Hmm. I'd.. really like that, if it's really okay with Ciel onee-chan. It sounds like it might be a lot of fun, and I want to see the recipes and try them out..
no subject
also moes all over]
Of course! That's why I asked, after all. Would you mind if I come over right away, in that case?
no subject
R-right away? [ blink.. but.. no, having ciel onee-chan over is a good thing, so she nods!! ] I.. wouldn't mind.
no subject
Are you sure it's okay? If you were in the middle of something, I can wait until you finish up.
no subject
no subject
I'll be on my way, in that case. See you soon?
no subject
See you soon, Ciel onee-chan..! I'll be waiting.
no subject
but yes good u///u]
Okay. Until then, please take care and goodbye, Nadeko-chan!
[THAT'S THAT THEN and she will show up in 10~15 minutes or so, in her civilian wear and carrying a shoulder bag. Knock knock, =3=/]
no subject
Ciel onee-chan..! Good day.
no subject
Good afternoon to you too, Nadeko-chan! I'm glad to see you doing okay in person, also. [moes...] Are you ready to go?
no subject
I'm ready..! Don't worry, Ciel onee-chan, I.. wouldn't want to make you wait.
no subject
no subject
.. Ah.. no, not yet. At least back home you could decide that by the time the school uniforms changed, but..
no subject
It may be easier to tell, but here, you can choose that out of your own volition. Do you think it's warm enough yet? Hm, actually, what do you think you tolerate more, heat or cold?
