THAT'S DISGUSTING

FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
STOP DESCRIBING IT

[The lag between texts may or may not be him legitimately vomiting, but he'll never tell because he knows Sebastian is just being nasty on purpose.]

We are not going to pet whatever is killing people! []

FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
We're going to kill it.

What a waste, young master. You could have quite a fearsome creature under your control, but if you insist...

[ then a few minutes later: ]

FROM: michaelis.sebastian@cdc.org

I would let you name it.

[alittlemaster]

[Sebastian, he already has a fearsome creature under his control....]

FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
Is that supposed

[He doesn't even finish it.]

FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
WE'RE NOT KEEPING IT.

FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
Do you really think anyone else would let you keep it as a PET?

FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
Don't be an idiot. It's killed three people.

[HE HAS PICKED UP ENOUGH MORONS BACK AT HOME. HE DOESN'T NEED AN ALIEN PET. Think of Pluto in the other universe.

Think of Pluto.

This would be that all over again.]

[cutlery]

[ okay point, no pets, you're right ]

FROM: michaelis.sebastian@cdc.org

No, of course not. But it is quite entertaining to see you get riled up, young master. These devices convey your distress amusingly.

FROM: michaelis.sebastian@cdc.org

My goodness. What a remarkable resemblance, young master... It is just like I am seeing you in person.

[ are you sure you want to start an emoji war, ciel. are you really sure. ]

Stop being patronizing.

FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
It was put into this contraption -- it's at the bottom, the face. It seemed fitting.

this thread went differently than i expected but i'm glad

[cutlery]

FROM: michaelis.sebastian@cdc.org

Did that come off as patronizing? My apologies, young master.

FROM: michaelis.sebastian@cdc.org

:>

how did it go from grossly serious to stupid so quickly....

[alittlemaster]

[Groan. He's going to strangle Sebastian the next time they see each other for all this sass....]

The only cat I ever want to see in your presence.

who even knows...

[cutlery]

FROM: michaelis.sebastian@cdc.org

How charming... What a wonderful work of art, young master.

[ then, several minutes later... ]

FROM: michaelis.sebastian@cdc.org

ヾ(=^・ｪ・^)ヾ(^v^ )

This one is is a better representation, however.

[alittlemaster]

FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
Is that you petting it?

[He is not supposed to be "having fun" with his demon. But at least they aren't talking about nasty aliens hibernating inside of human bodies!]

[cutlery]

FROM: michaelis.sebastian@cdc.org

Of course. It should not be alone and unappreciated for its superior qualities.

[alittlemaster]

FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
Ridiculous.

FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
Cats are terrible pets.

[Said only because he's allergic to them.]

[cutlery]

FROM: michaelis.sebastian@cdc.org

Nonsense. You only say that because you are allergic to them. If you were not, surely you would like them greatly.

[alittlemaster]

[He probably would. They kept to themselves and, generally, were clean if not outside in the dirty streets. They were also sly and cunning. Like himself.

He doesn't want to admit that, however.]

FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
If there was an exoskeleton left behind, that means it evolved.

[Changing the subject is, like, the greatest indication that Sebastian won a conversation or is right.]

[cutlery]

[ He knows he's won the argument, which is also why he lets it drop without any issue. ]

FROM: michaelis.sebastian@cdc.org

It is a possibility. I cannot say with any certainty without seeing the creature for myself if they are related. Still, would you like more information on our pets, young master?

[alittlemaster]

FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
Yes.

[Then, surprisingly quick:]

FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
THEY'RE NOT PETS SEBASTIAN

[cutlery]

FROM: michaelis.sebastian@cdc.org

But they are, young master. I would not know what else to call them, since their name would be unpronounceable for you.

[ demonese is how I'm avoiding it anyways ]

FROM: michaelis.sebastian@cdc.org

In any case, the explanation is too long for this. Would you prefer to hear it in person or as an attached document?

[alittlemaster]

[Well, this is a conundrum. Does he ask to meet in person so he can punch Sebastian for the gross details, or does he ask for an attachment so he can puke in privacy? One will give the demon satisfaction as a witness, and the other... will... just give the demon satisfaction for not showing his face. Argh.]

FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
In person.

[He fell back on inconvenience, and what better way to inconvenience a working Green than to meet physically.]

[cutlery]

[ Poor Ciel... It's truly the hard knock life of having to deal with a shitty demon. He definitely laughs on his end, that's for sure. ]

FROM: michaelis.sebastian@cdc.org

Understood. Where are you currently?

[alittlemaster]

FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
The Observation Deck.

[Again. He is always stuck in the damn safe hub, isn't he?]

[cutlery]

[ Sebastian doesn't even respond to the message, since he of course isn't far. He of course also approaches Ciel from behind even though he definitely could have approached him normally, but. This is Sebastian. So he just speaks lightly, hoping to startle Ciel. ]

Ah, here you are. Have you been making friends, young master?

[alittlemaster]

[Ciel doesn't jump so much as he just jerks with the worst case of rigidity ever. Obviously, Sebastian nearly gave him a heart attack even though he should have a) been on his guard, and b) suspected as much from the demon.

He hadn't even had time to put down the blackglass, but when he turns around, he is fairly irritated though slightly more pale. If he doesn't comment on it, that means he wasn't scared, right?] I'm not here to "make friends." [And neither should you be either..........]

Get on with it.

[cutlery]

[ Ah, truly, this situation has provided him with such a unique, wonderful pleasure. Sebastian can do things like this with much less fear of reprimand, since this is a situation that Ciel feels so at odds in. More than ever, Ciel needs Sebastian, so it means he can test the chain of his leash a little more than usual. It's only with playful gestures like this, but still, he takes joy where he can. ]

Now, now, young master... You should at least consider it. Alliances are important upon this vessel.

[ audience laughter goes here ]

Are you certain you are ready? You look as if you may need a moment to compose yourself.

[alittlemaster]

[Shut up, Sebastian, he is "making friends" in that way already... aside from the handful of people he has been irritable with. That's, like, everyone. So maybe he hasn't even made any good blackmailing acquaintances yet either....

And you can't just talk to him that way! He looks so ill about having the demon taunt him into reacting, but there's no other means of venting his steam than doing just what the demon wants.]

I'm fine! [HE WAS NOT SCARED. Not even for a minute.] Just get on with it!
