oo2. video; I think they call it mechanophillia
[ There's a clatter before the feed turns on. It seems the SFC's fallen and is now pointing straight toward the sky. Enjoy the view, Vatheon. It's the forest today and the sea above is lovely as are the trees.
And then you hear it. It sounds like Ciel Phantomhive but somehow the drawl of that voice is kind of... different. ]
There you are, girl. Easy does it.
[ A pause with the barest, softest grunt. ]
Bugger but that's in tight, isn't it? Didn't think we'd have that kind of trouble. S'alright though... just relax and let me reach in there...
[ Another grunt, this one more forced. Ronald's breath seems to be hitching at this point because there's a soft pant after it. ]
Wedged in there tighter than I thought. Guess we'll prolly need more lube. Good thing Ciel's got these lovely thin fingers, eh?
[ And another groan coupled with the shuffle of cloth. ]
Easy, old girl. Easy. Almost there...
[ Further panting, much worse and much ragged than earlier. And another grunt of effort. ]
Bleeding... wreck... ah... almost...
Got it!
[ There's one more loud groan followed by heavy breathing...
And the roar of a lawnmower engine? ]
That takes care of that, then. Should prolly clean up now. Gunk's gotten all over--
[ And there it goes. Ronald's finally realized his SFC's fallen out of his pocket. He reaches over to pick it up, looking for all the world like an overworked greasemonkey. Behind him on the ground, his shiny red lawnmower of a death scythe is purring like a happy kitten. There's a sheepish little two fingered salute for your troubles. ]
...Well that's embarrassing. Sorry about that everyone. Just a bit of maintenance work! Seems she's been a mess ever since I came in what with the state of us being wet and all. Incidentally, anyone need some yard work done?
[ ooc: responses will be coming from

[VIDEO]
Mm... Like a movie about the person's life then ? It's interesting... But we don't use such things.
[VIDEO]
[ Because really, the term escapes him. ]
Tree trimmer? Dunno really but it's a sleek thing. Extendable clippers and all. Suits them, I think what with Mister Sutcliffe wanting to run wild and Mister Spears needing something more precise.
[ Finger tapping the surface of his scythe before he continues polishing. ]
Yeah, that's right. Have to wonder though how things work with you lot if you don't use records or anything.
[VIDEO]
We also use 'weapons' called Shikigami. They are spiritual guardians with different powers that we can summon. [And he won't tell you that he has twelve of them.]
Mm... We are given the names of the souls to reap but it is not our task to decide if they must live or die.
[VIDEO]
[ A pause though. ]
No second chances then?
[VIDEO]
Wait...] So there's demons in your world too...
[If Roniel is attentive enough, he can see the shadow passing onto Asato's face and his eyes becoming slightly sadder.]
Second chances ? Rarely.
[VIDEO]
Yeah, we got demons in our world. One's the reason I showed up the way I did first day in. Beastly thing, really.
[ Small wrinkle of his nose. ]
[VIDEO]
I see... Were you fighting one ?
[His eyes moves to the lawnmower. Please, don't use it against him, Roniel.]
[VIDEO]
Yeah, got into a bit of a scrap with one. Don't think I'll be doing that any time soon again.
[ And a small murmur. ]
...He's here, you know. Best you have a care around the city.
[VIDEO // PRIVATE]
Ah, yes ! I want you to stay in one piece.
[Woohoo, more demons ! They'll soon make a club.]
Who is it ? [And better if this conversation turns private. No ?]
[VIDEO // PRIVATE]
Ciel's butler. His name's Sebastian Michaelis... at least, that's what his master's calling him.
[VIDEO // PRIVATE]
Michaelis-san is a demon ?! [And now he needs to sit down.]
[VIDEO // PRIVATE]
[ A small pause to think, though. ]
He and Phantomhive are keeping that bit of information on the wraps. S'not exactly anything you'd go blurting to the general public, methinks. Could see why though. Better just act like you didn't hear it from me, eh?
[VIDEO // PRIVATE]
[Asato nods, looking extremely serious this time.]
I will, don't worry. Michaelis-san promised me a tea party to talk about said person though. Do you think I should still accept ?
[VIDEO // PRIVATE]
Yeah? Phantomhive's all in over his head, stubborn git. Who's he? Could prolly keep an eye on him.
[ There's a hum of consideration. ]
If Bassy's asked you over, he prolly needs you for something. Wager he asked to talk about something? Course, Phantomhive's got a bit of a hold on him. You'll prolly be fine.
[VIDEO // PRIVATE]
Yes, I'm aware of that. And I promise to be careful now that... that I know what he is.
[VIDEO // PRIVATE]
[ Cute boys...? Hoboy. Yeah, okay, worrying about Yuki now. ]
Right. Just be on your guard and all...
[VIDEO // PRIVATE]
I will ! Thanks for the warning.
[VIDEO // PRIVATE]
'Fraid I haven't. I came in with Yukio and I know Miss Angelina from home. Don't really hang around the clinic much.
[ Have a grin back. ]
No worries. Anything to help a mate out.
[VIDEO // PRIVATE] Ahahah, HTML and I are not friends.
That's good then, stay away from it. I recently met Yukio's brother and also warned him about Muraki. [They'll be an army soon.]
Eh... Ronald... I have something to ask you.
[VIDEO // PRIVATE] XD happens to me.
[ Head tilting now in curiosity. ]
Something on your mind then? Ask away.
[VIDEO // PRIVATE] lol /hugs
[Asato shifts a bit and then looks down.]
Do you... hate demons that much ?
[VIDEO // PRIVATE] lol /hugs
Guess that's a bit of a loaded question, isn't it? Last thing a bloke has by memory of a demon is being attacked.. course I'd be a little on edge.
[ Frown getting worse. ]
Course... this city might change my mind...
[VIDEO // PRIVATE] /cuddles
[He promises to keep his destructive side under control then. Or try to.]
It could. The most strange creatures live here.
[VIDEO // PRIVATE] <3
[ And a laugh, almost as if he'd already managed to push his bad mood away. ]
The only one I'm worried about though is Sebastian. Show me a demon who isn't a beast like he is and I could reconsider, eh?
[VIDEO // PRIVATE] <33
[Very good ! Asato likes it when his friends feel good.]
Oh... And what if I could ?
