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.]

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?

[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.

[ex_seventh238]

Yet you don't consider Matou Sakura as one?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

You two are similar but vastly different. That aside, Sakura is quite a monster comparable to me. Even you can't deny that.

[ex_seventh238]

That doesn't change the fact that her mind is on the other side. In fact, if what I've gathered from both her and Tohsaka Rin is true, even if she's been modified to be part of our world, she can still truly live normally and attain happiness like an ordinary person. This isn't just idealistic talk, but solid reality. ...Well, provided that she ever gets out of this place first. So if both factors are taken into account, you would be the one who's a complete monster.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

I never denied my status nor does my status have any bearing on her.

Either way, her methods of needing to live normally are what make her monstrous. And if she doesn't fulfill those methods....

[ex_seventh238]

Of course not. They're unrelated matter, I just used you as an example.

That's none of your affairs. Or do you intend to use her, too? [She glances aside towards him, not without a certain edge.]

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

How droll. And it is my business because Sakura made it my business. We're fairly close, you know.

[ex_seventh238]

We're not here for the express purpose of entertaining you. Answer the question, Merem.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

It's boring so why would I do it. The outcome would be horrifically predictable.

[ex_seventh238]

[Yet saying just that in itself already answers her question.]

And what would that achieve for you? Your kind has always been distasteful, but if you would do anything for the sake of entertainment alone, then that sets a new low.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

I've already answered that, Ciel.

[...

She lowers her gaze back onto the papers, the lightning of the room reflecting off her glasses and effectively hiding her eyes.]

There are lines that once a human cross, they can no longer turn back. You were always free to ignore those boundaries because they don't affect you - your existence is too far removed. A human life is too meaningless for you to take interest in, you cannot make a lasting impression even if you wanted to because their lifespan is so short, and your position forbade you to fool around too much anyhow.

2/3

[ex_seventh238]

[Saying that, she folds the paper and sets it on the table, before raising her hand to adjust the frame of her glasses.]

This twisted plane and its irregular rules change many things, however, including your role and relationship towards the world, so do not mistakenly think that you are still immune. Frankly, I really don't care about your motives, but if you are going to directly involve yourself in humans' lives here, do not think that you can do so without facing any consequences. People judge everything that they can marginally grasp: they just form prejudice and denial on what they cannot understand or accept. It may not concern you, but it concerns the people whose company you forcibly share. Anything that you do will affect others - as long as the knowledge is there, it can come back to you.

3/3

[ex_seventh238]

[Removing them, she folds the frame as she fully turns around to look at him.

It's a cold and lifeless look, and her voice was just as monotonous.]

You are right about one thing. Idle threats are boring, and even if I do act upon what I've said, it will just be an inconvenience to you and an unrequited desire to kill from me. Regardless of the result, neither accomplishes anything, but it'll be good for me, if you would come to finally accept that I'm just another body among the countless of my race that you've held in distaste since your making.

[She finally stops, and while it's long enough for him to interject, it's obvious she's not quite done. There isn't anything like murderous intent in the room, either. If anything, it's just bone-chilling indifference, every bit as emotionless as her voice and expression.]
