video; 002. ♞ That butler, unscheduled holiday

[xthecorvus]

One can't help but be reminded of Sleeping Beauty.

[ This is said rather thoughtfully as the butler seems to be considering something. After all, for him to come to the network? It must be a pretty damn big deal to begin with. The SFC's on the table as he's ]

If I may inquire, Vatheon. How common are these... sleeping spells? I've fallen into one rather recently and much to my surprise, so has my young master. No attempt to wake him seems to come to fruition which has led me to wonder if this is something due to the city entirely.

[ And a sigh as he dusts his hands. ]

I suppose this means I have a bit of free time on my hands.

[ Another frown comes to his brow however. Because the concept of a day off is rather novel to him, truth be told. Now that he doesn't have to prepare any meals or balance any books. ]

What indeed could one do on a day off?

It seems no one has a concrete answer as to how exactly to avoid the city's offerings. Fortunately enough perhaps, these sleep spells seem to occur randomly.

[ Bit of a sigh as he settles himself down. ]

However, one would rather they would hardly happen at all, wouldn't you say?

Exactly.

[She lets out a short sigh.]

Guess I'll just have to deal with it if it does happen to me, or someone I know. But I hope you have better luck in the future, Mister...?

Michaelis. Sebastian Michaelis, butler to Earl Ciel Phantomhive.

[ A smile back. ]

And you are...? I would wager your being a new addition to the city's most unwilling population.

Well aren't you fancy?

[So he's a servant, but one to an earl?]

You're right about that. I'm Korra, and I haven't even been here a month yet.

I am very simply one hell of a butler. Nothing more.

[ That smile's a smirk though as he says this. ]

A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Miss Korra. Fortunately, you seem to have arrived during Vatheon's lull so to speak. This should give you ample time to settle in.

video; sorry for my slowness!

[waterkorrant]

[The implication swoops right over her head.]

Eheh, just Korra is fine, thanks. But yeah. Though I'm not sure if that's good or not... If it's this strange to start out with, I have to wonder how bad it gets when it's not in a lull.

video; nono! I was slower!

[xthecorvus]

[ Implication? Oh none. None whatsoever. It's just an innocent little catchphrase. ]

What with the sudden appearances and disappearances of those brought to this city, I can't say. Perhaps this city is indeed anything but dull.
