36th Blood | Day late and a dollar short

[tsukihime]

[Arcueid Brunestud, white princess of the true ancestors, with sharpened killer instincts and always completely on top of things picks up the phone today.

She is likely about to address the fellow residents of Mayfield with something important, something to think about, something that will stimulate the mind and show that she truly is a superior being. Take heed, Mayfield.]

[Phone | Unfiltered]

Hey...did anyone else get a weird letter in the mail? I haven't really been awake for a while. Did I miss something?

[Oh, wait, it's Arcueid Brunestud. Airhead vampire.]

[ex_seventh238]

Nothing. Nothing at all.

[you know what arc it'd be good for you to stay out of it. #cielssenseofjudgment]

[tsukihime]

Nice try, but both the letter and some other people have already told me.

I'm gonna go, whether you like it or not.

Especially if you don't like it.

[there's an uncharacteristic pause, instead of the usual chiding that one may expect coming from ciel.]

[Oh, that must be Arcueid on the other end with Ciel having THAT look on her face. Marisa fluidly grabs the phone out of Ciel's hand while she's pause.]

Yoink.

Oi! Arcueid! What're you up to? Ciel's got the Look on her face, ze.

[tsukihime]

Oh, hey!

I'm totally gonna jump into one of those portals. You up for it?

[ex_seventh238]

[akldfjglkjgkjg]

M-Marisa!!

[yeah the shout is muffled because not!daughter is on the phone, GOSH YOU BLONDES ARE SO RUDE???]

[adropofjupiter]

[To Ciel] I said yoink and you had that look, ze.

[To Arc] And I'm totally with you, ze. Sounds fun. Maybe we can snag some awesome loot.

[tsukihime]

[Arcueid laughs at Ciel's shouting.]

Maybe. It's still something to do, though...instead of hanging around while nothing's going on.

I figured you'd be up for some adventure.

[ex_seventh238]

This isn't a game, you two!! If you get hurt, who knows what'll happen?!

[ciel why are you still bothering LIKE THESE TWO HARDHEADS WILL EVER LISTEN... ]

[adropofjupiter]

[Just this face, Ciel.]

Hey, Arcueid... Nagnificent here thinks we're gonna get hurt.

[tsukihime]

That's cute.

Tell her you'll babysit me.

[ex_seventh238]

[just


leaning against the couch with her face in her hand

TRYING to swallow a HEAVY SIGH OF WOE here

carry on why won't you two...]

[adropofjupiter]

Oi! If you're that worried, ze, I'll babysit the True Ancestor. Make you feel better that the mature one of us will be in charge.

...and Arcuried says you're cute.

[tsukihime]

You're twisting what I said!!

[ex_seventh238]

Let me know once you're done. I still need a word with her - Arcueid, that is - later.

[in private yes but like HELL she's saying that out loud with marisa here. the implications should already be clear enough. so no she's aborting now, can't handle you blondes derping around. CIEL IS OLLIEING OUT...]

[adropofjupiter]

[Marisa rolls her eyes at Ciel before turning her attention back to Arc.]

Eh, get over it, ze. You totally said she was cute. Anyways, she wants to talk to you again later without me around. As if I can't just use magic to listen in. Not that I want to listen to you two pillow-talk.

[She snorts.]

Anyways, what time are we portal jumping tomorrow? Nothing before ten in the morning.

[tsukihime]

I didn't say that I was trying to annoy her! Jeeze will you get over your weird matchmaking in your head? Just tell Ciel she'll know where to find me.

As for when...I dunno. I don't like mornings either, and I dunno if nighttime will work so I guess whenever we feel like it.

I mean, we're not like those other people. We do things when we feel like it.

[adropofjupiter]

Then how about whoever gets up first bothers the other to see if they're ready?

[tsukihime]

You know that's going to be you, right?

[adropofjupiter]

...that's sad.

[tsukihime]

Hey, I usually sleep during the day.

It's just nature, you know.

[adropofjupiter]

Yeah, yeah. I get it.

I'll see you tomorrow, ze. Lemme grab Ciel.

[yelled through house...]

OI! CIEL! I'M DONE!

[tsukihime]

Woah woah you don't have to do that. Just tell her she'll know where to find me.

See you tomorrow!

[With that, she just hangs up.]
