Event Ten.
 | |
Pushed his sister in a well. Mother said, while drawing water, "My, it's hard to raise a daughter." | |
Welcome to Awash's tenth event log, and the intro log for this month, everyone! All new characters have found themselves waking in the well in the middle of the Town. Hopefully they can get a hand out! For more information, please go here! | |
t's pretty dark and miserable down in the well. The cavernous area feels much larger than a well should be, bodies milling about in the darkness and knee deep, frigid water. So you're here -- and you're not alone, and the only way out appears to be the thin circle of sunlight from above, the opening of the well.

Just kidding. It's actually a bit refreshing to see someone dressed normally (from his perspective), although it's obvious from a glance to Lupin that this man is from the very top of the upper crust, and the accent only confirms it. Only the truly wealthy have the money for such a sharp-looking butler. He frowns apologetically at the question, shaking his head. ]
I'm afraid not, monsieur. Lost your charge?
[ the butler is on babysitting duty and fell into another dimension... truly unfortunate. ]
no subject
Though he's grateful that this man seems to understand quite immediately why he's asking. He must be familiar with nobility, he thinks. ]
Quite so, I am afraid. Looking after the young master is the highest of my duties, and so I worry about not being able to find him...
no subject
Well, there's a chance he's only just arrived, like you. I can help you look for him.
no subject
[ He trails off thoughtfully without elaborating, but that's actually quite intentional. He doesn't want to have to elaborate on where that sentence was going, since the truth isn't quite the best first impression. His concerned frown at least turns to a grateful smile, and he nods. ]
If you would not mind it, I would greatly appreciate your assistance, sir. Are you a resident of the town?
no subject
[ he thinks of himself as a refugee or prisoner before a resident, but he's been here for half a year; it's not like Sebastian is wrong. He nods his head, offering a hand to Sebastian. ]
My name is Lupin. And you are?
no subject
It is a pleasure, Mr. Lupin. Or monsieur, should you prefer that?
[ It's also worth noting that his accent for the word is as perfect as a native speaker's despite his normal accent. Though as he gives his own introduction, he is subtly paying a bit more attention. Giving Ciel's family name provokes a reaction from some, after all. ]
Sebastian Michaelis. Head butler of the Phantomhive household of England, hence why I am a bit concerned.
no subject
Phantomhive?
[ he's fairly familiar with most of the prominent noble houses, at least around London. Maybe the Phantomhives are situated further out in the country? It seems unlikely, but not impossible... he doesn't know everything, despite his best efforts. ]
I was in London before I got here, but I don't think I know the name.
no subject
...Truly? The Phantomhives are not a large estate, but I would not call them minor...
[ Far from it. Ciel in particular had made a bit of a name for himself by modernizing the idea of nobility by starting businesses, of all things. Sebastian's frown deepens by a fraction. ]
I apologize if it is a strange question, but how familiar with English nobility are you?
no subject
I'm pretty familiar. I have a lot of dealings with them, so I've done my research.
[ Count Saint-Germain also knew a lot about high society, and he'd shared a decent amount with Lupin when they started living together. But Sebastian's reaction and comment make him think this problem doesn't have anything to do with said research being insufficient. He shakes his head, holding a hand out slightly in a 'slow down' gesture. ]
This will sound crazy, but the answer might be that we're not even from the same Earth.
no subject
Though naturally, that train of thought is quickly stopped at Lupin's suggestion. Sebastian's thoughtful expression turns to open surprise instead. ]
I— I beg your pardon? We could be from different Earths?
[ thanks for the jamjar intro lupin... ]
no subject
Like something out of a fairy tale, right? I've seen some pretty good evidence that it's the case, though. Most of the people here are from all different times and places. A few of my best friends here are some kids from Japan in the year 2000.
[ and that's not even touching on the literal aliens hanging around, like Cairngorm. ]
It was 1853 when I left, by the way, so maybe the Phantomhive house simply wasn't at its peak then.
no subject
He makes a light, thoughtful noise as he seemingly takes all this in. ]
I see. That could certainly explain it, though admittedly, there are even more questions raised where one is answered.
[ To put it mildly. ]
I do not know whether they were at a peak or not, but as I came from 1889, it is certainly not the distant past. [ Another thoughtful noise, but he shakes his head ] I suppose it does not matter terribly. If you are not familiar with them, then that is that.
no subject
I thought you must be from around my time! That's a bit of a relief. I was starting to feel like the odd one out.
[ which he's normally okay with, but not when it means he knows less than everyone... ]
Did you get a good look at everyone down in the well with you?
no subject
Ah, so indeed? I have certainly gotten the sense that perhaps I was out of place simply by the sense of fashion I have been seeing, but— [ He chuckles ] At least now we both know of one other, yes?
[ But to the matter of the well: ]
I did, yes... And he was not there. [ Nor is he anywhere in the village, he already knows. As soon as he had made it out of the well and gotten away from prying eyes, he had really looked for his master. If he were here, he would have known immediately and been able to go to his side. The fact that he is not is... Troubling. But he also has to give an effort for appearances before he can start trying to resolve the matter. ]
From your asking, I realize perhaps my search is wishful thinking... I've also little idea how to phrase this correctly, so forgive me, but do we not arrive at random times?
no subject
[ he won't elaborate on Sebastian not finding Ciel in the well; judging by the man's expression, he already knows that means Ciel probably isn't here with him, and there's not much Lupin can say that will comfort him on that matter. ]
