vingt-six † puppies come in all kinds

[Phone - Public]

Good morning! This call is addressed to anyone who might be interested in keeping a pet. I have... a number [because hell naw she's not going to say 15 on the phone ~~provided a few didn't get lost along the way already~~] of Scottish Terrier puppies that are looking for new homes. They're around a year old, purchased at the pet store here a few months back. The previous owner can no longer take care of them, so I was hoping that maybe others would like to adopt them into a different household instead. They're docile around people and enjoy playing outside a lot, they're also all fit and in good health. [Not a direct result of being intimidated at will, forbidden from showing their muzzle in the house when a certain household member is also around, and forced to look for their own food half the time because the food's limited in the backyard, nope... THESE PUPPIES DON'T HAVE SPADES TO SPOIL THEM ANYMORE, but they do look ok and they're drone animals so no one can tell. SHHHH....] If you'd like to meet them in person, please feel free to drop by at 1125 Taylor Road at any time this afternoon. Thank you for your time!

[Action]
I. Taylor Road ;; Afternoon
[there is like

a dozen or something of Scottish Terrier puppies wrestling with each other on the front lawn. Ciel's somehow managed to gather them together after all, what a miracle... She doesn't look too enthusiastic about this, though, adjusting her glasses as she gives the animals a flat stare.

Close by is an angelic boy dressed in white with short and smooth black hair loitering by the fence. ...Oh wait, maybe that boy is the reason for her indifferent mood. Ciel's never happy when Merem (

splitthebaby) is around, is she? But Merem at least seems to be enjoying himself with the puppies. It's not like he can talk to animals and is here to judge any potential pet owners because he cares more about drone animals than humans or anything, NOPE

Approach?]

((OOC: Joint prompt with Merem Solomon, tags will be separate to make it easier for everyone o/))

II. Church ;; Evening
[Business as usual. If the Sister isn't in the front ~~pretending to be reading the Bible but actually working on less holy things~~ busying over something, you can probably find her in the back kitchen. The lights are all on there, easily noticeable from the side windows to any outsider. That means the place is open for tea and sweets and ~~dubious~~ sound spiritual advice for any wary of mind. Got nothing especially interesting planned for the night? Why not drop by? ~~Everyone's secretly heretical anyway.~~]

III. Church ;; Night
[It's past 10pm, and the lights are out. ...That is, except for a very dim one placed above the door to the back entrance of the Church. A robed figure slinks out, headed towards the small cluster of woods past the storage shed. It's late and no one really comes to the Church ~~except for select losers~~. Yeah, this may look fishy, but Ciel can totally take a few steps around her own Mayfieldian natural habitat without getting accosted, right.

...Maybe...]

IV. Around town ;; Late Night
[Patrol as usual. As we know, old habits can be hard to break. It's not like anything exciting ever really happens after midnight in Mayfield, but heck, Ciel HAS gotten a few kicks in the past stalking vampires and scaring them without actually doing anything because lol OP vampire hunter with all her regains back. GIVE THEM A TASTE OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE, HAH.

...ER, that is. She'll be swinging by the streets, traveling by hopping lamp posts and roofs and etc as usual, gonna stop by the park and downtown a bit to ultimately end up at Makeout Point. The view is nice, alright... ~~And there just might be something up there, that she may or may not wanted to check up on.~~ Also out for a midnight stroll? You might just run into her! ...Or she might end up stalking you for a bit. Hey, she never denied her line of work to be questionable...]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[no wonder they get along so well... ugh puppy no you're the worst kind of reflection!! the kind he doesn't actually mind because he can trick himself into thinking he just somehow happens to collect bizarrely behaved animals.....

but if it's a question of whether or not he'd just serve himself food before the person who baked it showed up the answer is a resounding of course. it's not his fault if she decides to go run errands or has to round up some drones or whatever!! and it's not like he can't already smell how delicious it is as soon as he walks in the door... tempting, very tempting......

but he's momentarily distracted by the rustling! it's not the first time he's run into weird strangers just kinda chilling in the pews. sometimes he forgets this is actually a public location...

after a moment of serious debate (CAKE OR ~~DEATH~~ SATING CURIOSITY) he'll diverge from the kitchen path to check the front pews]

[charles pls

well she wouldn't fault him but she can still giggle at him.... BUT YES AS FOR THE RUSTLING

before he physically makes it there (short leg means it takes you longer to walk etc...), he's going to catch sight of a

...bushy tail perk up from the row

do you

>halt and stare
>keep going
>180 the hell towards the kitchen
>other charlesian option]

[QUE...... he's met some weird people in here but of course his first assumptions are things along the line of "who left their pet in here??" and "ew maybe there's a hole in the back mesh door and an animal got inside..."

SO he'll be taking option A with a little bit of option D: halt and stare while muttering rude remarks...]

This is a church, not a barn. [gross he should probably go get a broom to beat whatever it is back outside. if it's someone's pet, they'll surely understand!]

[then there will be a

YELP

from a teenage girlish-sounding voice

before--

--WELL SEE ICON]

--H-huh? I've been staying away from the kitchen, I didn't touch the cake, I wasn't given any other orders!! Please, have mercy--!!!

...Oh. It's just mister Charles! You surprised me.

[>just charles

yep]

--You can see me?

[what a twist...!!

but yes you have a little girl who's

a bit taller than you

with a blond cowlick

elvish-ears with earrings

staring in surprise... :o :o :o]

[guess which part he fixates on first

if you guessed JUST CHARLES ding ding ding we have a winner!! granted the "mister" was a nice touch so he doesn't look too irritated... just slightly more irritated than usual

his constant state of irritation probably does nothing to show how miffed he actually is whoops

the second thing he focuses on is the fact that there is some bizarre apparently invisible thing that knows him sitting in the pew who was potentially about to eat his cake or something?! WHAT'S HAPPENING...]

And who are you?

[LMAO yet with all the auras of irritation he's pulsing this bright little creature is

unphased??

in fact she'll chinhand and--

--oh wait, chinhoof. Does he see that now, she's got hoofs for hands...]

My name is Seven, but you can call me Nanako. I like that name better! --But oh, this is really strange. This hasn't happened in a while, I wonder what changed...

Anyway, good evening mister Charles, and welcome back to the Church! Master's busy upstairs right now, but she should return soon!

[CONNECT THE DOTS, CHARLES...]

[yes that aura of irritation is quickly being replaced by one of suspicion... there are only two regular churchie nuns here and as far as he's aware, only one of them deals with large amounts of tomfoolery which is probably the category invisible animal kid with hoofs falls under...]

...You're speaking of Ciel, are you not? [and because he doesn't even want to think about the implications of a previously invisible person knowing his name:] Are you new to the town?

[his assumptions are accurate, what a smrt babby bat CIEL WOULD BE PROUD

~~before she beats nanako to a pulp for openly talking to him~~]

That's Master, yes! And no, not at all. I've been here with her since... um... many months now! I lost track, we've never been in the same place for this long. That's a silly assumption to make, though, why would you think I'm new?

[HE'LL BE EXPECTING ANOTHER GOLD STAR after he sidesteps all the violence that might occur of course...]

Have you always been here? In the church, I mean. [SPOOKY... this is like learning your house is haunted!! even if the ghost is super chipper, coming to the realisation that you're not alone is not exactly comforting

also don't think he's not filing that "never been in the same place for long" thing away for later, there are just more pressing matters to deal with!! the last time he saw something that couldn't be seen, it was a flying mint bunny and it wanted him dead....]

Ah, yes. I do see you passing by quite often, mister Charles...

[but what will you do with it WHAT WILL YOU DO

you can't even tackle abel HOW WILL YOU FACE CIEL

but yes suddenly ghostly aura indeed... charles what have you triggered]

[HE'LL WORK HIS WAY THERE SLOWLY BUT SURELY

slowly but surely.....

the ghostly aura is not something he is very fond of in the meanwhile though stop that weird stranger]

If you've been here for months, I'd imagine that would be the case. [SEVERE AMOUNTS OF UNSURE] What's this about being able to see you, now?

[babby flaps for babby bats...

she is a ghost ok she is entitled to ghostly things!!]

I'm not by the main halls much, Master doesn't let me wander even if not many people come here and they shouldn't be able to see me anyway. [a beat...

and why does it look so pleased with itself why]

Are you surprised?

[he's not entirely sure why but he's definitely not going to bother asking her... keeping conversation to a minimum with weirdos is a good life philosophy to abide by, even if the weirdo in question is a ghost type thing]

I'm not certain "surprise" is quite the right word for it. [more like mildly creeped out...] I've seen other things that aren't supposed to be seen, though. You're not quite as minty as the last one.

[oh come on who doesn't want to befriend a ghost loli horse...]

It can't be for the same reason, though. Can you touch me?

[extends ARM... HOOF... and waves it in front of charles]

[the person whose last ghost animal friend tried to kill him!!

.......okay he'll go ahead and reach forward tentatively to try and touch her arm... hoof]

I'm not certain why I could see the other one, now that you mention it.

Master can see me because she's my Master. People who can see spirits or are ghosts themselves are other exceptions, but no one else who comes to the Church often falls under that. There was one time last year when people could suddenly see and talk to me, maybe the town did something, but that was the last time I spoke to anyone who can't perform thaumaturgy.

[have some nasubabble! in other words: you may be a monster charles but you're still a muggle.

...also her hoof is

metallic and

solid]

--You can! Mister Charles, you can touch me too!! [OMGWTFBBQ?? yes this pony loli has

a short attention span

can you tell...]

[fun fact: he used to laugh his ass off at people who assumed he was some sort of mythical being since he was 100% behind the idea that science > magic. granted there is no magic in his world but THE MORE YOU KNOW...]

I'm not certain about spirits and ghosts, but I was able to see and touch some sort of invisible fairy... creature once. It was never explained to me, but that might have been for the best. [a brief, far-off look.....

and then taps her hoof again for good measure because metal centaur thing] I certainly can't perform thaumaturgy, so I suppose it could be Mayfield acting up again. [no stay on topic!!]

[and now he's on the bottom of the magic pyramid... and science too if tb is anything to sneeze at

WHAT NOW...]

Did you have any intimate relationship with the Master? [for the fairy that is, she's automatically assuming said fairy is some sort of familiar/pet...] You do come here a lot and are close to Master, but there would need to be more than that. Master does her best to stabilize the mana around here too, so something this singular shouldn't be possible at the Church. You're definitely special, mister Charles! I can feel it, there's something different about you~

[announced with confidence! While you poke at her one hoof more she will raise the other and attempt to pat him on the shoulder

except oops apparently she has ridiculous strength because what charles will feel isn't a pat, more like

a stupidly strong shove that'd swat any normal human aside like a fly, with 80% odds of having them topple over from the side. CHARLES MAY BE MORE RESILIENT BUT... YES...]

[hey tb reverted back to the medieval days can't he get a technical pass on that! BESIDES they only beat him with space-y science, totally tied for genetic science here yep. magic though..... bottom of the barrel right here...

also looking momentarily confused over here since he assumes she's talking about Ciel again at first before realising nope it's England] If you're referring to the owner of the mint abomination, what we had was a casual acquaintanceship at best. [which in Charlespeak translates to: I almost killed him in a fit of yandere whoops]

I'm afraid I haven't any sort of supernatural properties at all, if that's what you're referring to, and-- [and SUDDEN SHOT TO THE BALANCE. well that was unexpected... he may be strong but he's still very light and compact and easy to bat around ~~as Ciel would know~~. that combined with being caught off guard is enough to nearly topple him. his gracefulness comes in handy when he's not using it to be pompous and haughty

but there is some of the latter in the INDIGNANT STARE he's giving...]

[science is science if you're tied in genetics they still have superior space stuff DON'T TRY SO HARD...]

You must get along with the Master somehow. You could ask Master about it once she comes back! Maybe she'd be able to tell y--

--ah... [well master doesn't tell her these things because master bats seven around even more!!! Q_Q...] M-mister Charles?

[what

WHAT DID SHE DO

deer in headlights here and ~totally surpraised~ that Charles is indignantly glaring at her... o__o]

aspiring to new heights of horrible... so noble

the best cause
