[The feed opens to show a sad and thoughtful looking Angelina.]

So they are really gone... I thought Sebastian might be wanting to make a point, again, but this device does not show their names anymore. It is strange to have the house all to myself, it is a big house after all... Maybe I should consider moving to a small place, mansions require too much maintainance, and without a butler, I do not see how I will manage...

Then again... Do you think it is possible they might come back? I think Ciel would not take well to living in an apartment or a small house... I might have to think about this...

Well... I will you all a Happy New Year, Vatheon residents.

Surely taking care of such a big place isn't all that hard. My family used to live in a fairly large house when I was growing up but we never had any butlers.

[ladyinscarlet]

Oh? You did? Did you have to do the cleaning yourselves?

[Voice]

[needsmoregreen]

Hm...you can live in an apartment now and if they do come back, you can move into the mansion again?

[Voice]

[ladyinscarlet]

I suppose this is not a bad idea... I might start looking for one.

[Voice]

[needsmoregreen]

Oh, if you need help looking for one, I can help! I don't know much about the other apartments in Vatheon but I can help you find which one you might like the best!

[Voice]

[ladyinscarlet]

Oh, thank you, Miss, this is a very kind offer from your part.

[Voice]

[needsmoregreen]

You don't have to call me Miss, Bianca is just fine! But now I want to know what your name is!

It's not a problem, if I could help out, then that's all that matters! Just tell me when you're ready and I'll find something for you!

[Voice]

[ladyinscarlet]

It is lovely to meet you, or hear you, Bianca. I am Angelina Durless, or Madame Red, if you prefer.

I shall let you know as soon as I decide if I ought to move out, and I thank you for your help.

[Voice]

[needsmoregreen]

Madame Red...it sounds like you must be really rich if you're called Madame!

You don't need to thank me, I'm doing my job to make sure that everyone is happy here!

[ He's managed to bandage himself up well enough, that half with the missing eye covered with his hair and gauze but there's a moment of evident surprise. ]

Your nephew's gone home?

[ And the smallest bit of regret. There went his only comrade in arms. If anything, Ciel was the one who understood him the most when it came to plots of revenge, demonic contracts and uneven fields of vision. Too bad. He was looking forward to telling Ciel what had happened to him. ]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[Voice]

[ladyinscarlet]

[Oh, yes. Muraki was friends or something with Ciel. Honestely she never felt very comfortable about this, but her nephew is anything but a typical boy of thirteen.]

It seems so, Dr. Muraki. I have not seen him for a few days, and his name has disappeared from the list. And he knows I worry about him, so he usually sends me some kind of message. But at least I know Sebastian will take good care of him.

[applepies]

[Damn, he'll never have that tea party promised by Sebastian.]

I am sorry, Angelina-san... Will you be alright ?

[ladyinscarlet]

[Apparently not, but An can always invite him for tea.]

It is strange to know my nephew is gone, but as long as Sebastian is with him, he should be fine. [As much as she hates it, Ciel doesn't really need her, though they are fond of each other.]

[applepies]

[That would be lovely.]

Yes, I believe so. Sebastian seemed to take good care of him. [Oh Asato, if you knew !]

[ladyinscarlet]

[She smiles a bit.]

Yes, he is a capable butler.

[applepies]

I believe so ! He promised me a tea party.

[ladyinscarlet]

[She chuckles]

Well, if your lover does not mind, you could come over for tea at my house. Though I regret to admit my tea is not as good as Sebastians.

[applepies]

[!!]

Oh, I would be honoured !! I could help you. [Oopps ?]

[redcinemareel]

Good butlers are so hard to find, don't you think?

I must agree, though. Large homes are too much of a hassle to maintain, however nice they are to look at.

[ladyinscarlet]

Indeed they are, my dear. It is certainly not one of your qualifications, if I am honest with you. It would be for the best if you keep to your... profession...

[She sighs.]

They can be, and too large for someone who lives alone...

[redcinemareel]

[Grell couldn't help but giggle at that.]

I most certainly will!

Darling, you don't have to live alone. Can't you find anyone to live with?

[ladyinscarlet]

I thought as much, though I regret to tell you that you will not find much work here...

[Shakes her head.]

For the moment I do not believe I am acquainted well enough with anyone to feel comfortable living with them.

[redcinemareel]

Good. I could use a vacation.

[Grell crosses her arms with an amused smile.]

The life of the party unable to find a soul to reside with. I would find this surprising, but I'm far too aware of the many layers of my favorite co-conspirator. Are there any applicants?

[ladyinscarlet]

[She giggles.] Oh yes, your boss overworks you, doesn't he?

[And then her smirk grows wider at his question.] In fact, your boss happened to be... should we say, using your euphemism, applicant. Unfortunately he left this world before anything much happened.

[redcinemareel]

An understatement, but he has such a way of doing so~!

[Grell raised an eyebrow at the mention of William being one of the applicants.] He was? I wonder if he had an ulterior motive.
