Miss Yuki, will you go to the prom with me? I think it'll be a rather interesting experience but that might just be my opinion. [Oh whoops, was that for everyone to hear. Merem doesn't care and he doubts Yuki cares either.]

As for the rest of you, I really hope to see you there. I'm pretty sure Ciel will be playing as a chaperone so if you're worried about trouble, you're in good hands. She's much like a dog, persistent and stubborn. I wonder if someone would actually take a dance with her though.

-right! For all you single men out there, I live with a lovely young lady who could use an escort. Really, she's all you could ask for in a girl and if you expect more, well...I suppose you can stay single. Your choice, after all. Her name is Sakura. Just let me know if you're interested.

[ooc; Sakura has a date but that doesn't mean Merem won't troll it.]

Hmm... Would you treat a man-made android with artificial AI the same way?

Your "ideas" are probably better left unheard. ...Well, maybe except the color scheme; that's hard to screw up on. Would the usual white, gold, and black be okay?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

If it was intelligent, I would, yes.

My ideas are proper. And that is generally what I wear.

[ex_seventh238]

Fair enough.

Deciding on formal wear requires imagination. I know your sizes by heart already, so I'll make yours myself. You weren't thinking of getting something from the stores here, or have it tailored by someone else in town, were you?

[He slides over beside Ciel.]

I was planning to ask Sakura. She needs something to keep her occupied.

[ex_seventh238]

Oh? That's okay, then. I can help her or she can help me; the order doesn't matter. Are you sure that she's a good seamstress, though? There's no questioning her cooking abilities, but I never had a chance to see her sew or ask her about it.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

I honestly could care less on her level of skill. Her getting sick wasn't a coincidence, Ciel. She just needs a focus.

[ex_seventh238]

[Sipping her mug of tea while giving him a knowing glance.] And this is precisely why I would never let you choose by yourself. Did you also know that chores like cooking and sewing can easily become a mechanical process? A person's hand moves, but with enough repetition, their minds are still free to wander elsewhere. I'm surprised to hear that you actually care enough to act, but that doesn't change the fact that your idea of a focus is a very weak one. I also refuse to let you walk out of this house without looking at your best, so give up. Human empathy isn't your field.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't let Sakura's mind wander. Who do you think you're talking to, Ciel? Besides, as far as I'm concerned, Sakura isn't human. I don't need human empathy to read her.

[ex_seventh238]

By causing her a different set of grievances than the ones she currently suffers? I think not. Why don't you go convince Tohsaka-san to attend instead? I'll suggest to her that we make dresses for both herself and her sister. That should keep her busier.

...Ah. That explains why you're treating her differently. Regardless of what she really is, her own wish is to live as an ordinary human. Any of your meddling would just be bad influence. So why are you interested in her? If you're looking for her buttons just so that you can push them, I'll kill you.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

I've already convinced Rin. Her date will be the Rat King. [(troll)]

You're not going to kill me in your current state. Even then, you would make things harder on Sakura.

1/2

[ex_seventh238]

Oh, then I'll make sure that there'll be plenty of pizza by the refreshment tables. [(troll)]

2/2

[ex_seventh238]

So you are planning to make things even harder for her, are you confirming?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

I'm neither confirming nor denying. You're simply jumping to conclusions based on some idea you have stuck in your head.

[ex_seventh238]

No, I wouldn't have bothered asking if I already have.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Funny because you're already making some rather biased statements.

[ex_seventh238]

Is that supposed to be surprising? If I had a choice in the matter, we wouldn't be talking like this right now to begin with.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

You would choose this every time, Ciel. It certainly beats being a mindless weapon.

[ex_seventh238]

No. You're the one getting misconceptions because I hardly ever get to choose at all.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

That's exactly why you would do this.

[ex_seventh238]

Not at all. I'm actually happy to not have to cooperate with anyone for any given job precisely because you may be on the list of undesired volunteers. I suppose that in exchange, the director can't stop it if you decide to wander off and stalk someone on your own, but as far as I'm concerned, that hasn't happened to me yet.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

We'll see about that. I'll live to see that mask dropping one day.

[ex_seventh238]

Don't imply nonsense. There is no such thing because there's nothing to hide. You already know everything about my function and how it came to be, and the only one at that. ...Well, there may be another, but that's not important - unless you were talking about something else?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

[just giving ciel his patented look]

[ex_seventh238]

[Shaking her head as she puts down her tea mug, unfolds the daily paper, and starts to seemingly read it despite the fact that it has nothing interesting to look at. She also readjusts her glasses on the bridge of her nose, before muttering something under her breath in French.]

Petit coquin impertinent.

[It's not like she gives a fuck whether he hears it or not, so he can take the meaning to that as however he likes. And without sparing a side glance to look at him:]

Do you consider me human, Merem?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

I do, yes.
