[When Ciel appears on the screen, he look far from pleased -- his expression, noteably more sour than usual, is emphasized by the slightly unkempt hair that makes him look as though he's just rolled out of bed. The kid apparenlty is also incapable of dressing himself; his shirt is buttoned crooked, and his thin bow tie, is more of a knot than a bow.]

Has anyone seen my butler? He's mysteriously absent as of this morning, and I've been unable to contact him.

Oh, blimey. You need a shower and morning tea.

That should have been taken care of hours ago, but I'm afraid I haven't the faintest idea where Sebastian keeps the tea. [He's not about to admit he couldn't even boil water if he tried]

Probably not just walking around, then. There's a possibility... [ mysterious disappearances and all.. ]

[dealwithademon.livejournal.com]

Are you suggesting he may have... vanished? [Not impossible. Elizabeth did. But Sebastian... it's different. isn't it?]

[kakkoii-kyou.livejournal.com]

[What's this? Deja vu]

Earl Phantomhive. [Bows in greeting]

Your servant is missing?

[dealwithademon.livejournal.com]

I just said that, didn't it? [A heavy sigh.] I woke much later than usual this morning, and the curtains hadn't even been drawn.

[kakkoii-kyou.livejournal.com]

I see.

Is it possible he went out?

[tofairypark.livejournal.com]

Butler?

[dealwithademon.livejournal.com]

Yes, my Butler. Surely you'd know one if you saw one.

[tofairypark.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure. I don't know if I've ever seen one.

[Sharon won't comment on his appearance. She was in a similar state before.]

Have you considered the possibility that Sebastian has momentarily left Somarium, Young Master Phanthomhive?

[dealwithademon.livejournal.com]

[Pause. For a second, he looks less an irritated mess, and more a confused child]

Left Somarium? [That confusion quickly turns into something... more fiery.] That couldn't possibly-- Why should he be lifted from this cursed place, and I left behind. Absolutely not! I won't have it!

[suppressedtime.livejournal.com]

[Her expression softens. Oh Ciel, she was in the exact same boat.]

I understand your sentiments. I truly do. However there is reason to believe that he may come back within a few days time.

In which case, might you need any... assistance, Young Master Phanthomhive?

How fortunate you must be to have had a butler, of all things, in Somarium! Has the possibility of his leaving Somarium occurred to you? Check the Dreamberry, see if his name is still listed in the contacts.

[Hello Lelouch. Sorry, this isn't the best time for good first impressions]

It's not fortune, it's business. And he couldn't possibly have-- [he fumbles with the phone, starts searching through it... and then the color seems to drain from his face]

[zerointegrity.livejournal.com]

Did he?

[alphaophiuchi]

Are you losing people, Ciel?

[dealwithademon.livejournal.com]

What do you mean by that? [frown]

[alphaophiuchi]

Losing people like one might lose one's mind. Which you seem to have lost as well, if your buttons have anything to say. [Sebastian? Gone from Somarium? Draco wouldn't dare suggest that.]

The demon is not here.

[dealwithademon.livejournal.com]

[Her again. Why is she always there are the strangest times?] And you would know this, how?

[Video]

[knows-remorse.livejournal.com]

Does it matter, that is not your concern is it?

[forged_anew]

...What's a butler?

[dealwithademon.livejournal.com]

[Not this again...] An attendant. A personal servant.

[forged_anew]

So why not say servant?
