[ There's a scuffle, Vatheon. His SFC is pointed to the sky but anyone would be able to hear him distinctly over the network. ]

Blimey, ow. Ah, hell... it all hurts.

[ Ronald's prodding his cheek slightly with a thumb as he gets up. Truth be told, he's an absolute wreck. His uniform's bloody and a mess, his hair's disheveled and his glasses are being groped for before being put back on his face. ]

ow... owowowowowowow... Beastly, that's what he was. Not that I'd expected mercy... cor now, hold on...

[ And then he realizes he isn't on the ship anymore. ]

This isn't the Campania. Did I fall into the ocean then?

[ There's a sigh though as he strains to sit up, finally spotting the SFC and eyeing it curiously before picking it up. ]

...Don't think anyone can hear me through this, can they?

Doesn't look like the kind of tat someone'd make on a drunken mistake if you ask me. And begging your pardon sir but I don't recall it being on when I left for the Campania.

[ A moment passes before he steps out, stripped to the waist with that towel over his shoulders.

There's a slight visibly shaken look on his face as he does. There in plain sight on his lower left abdomen is said mark. ]

It... kind of looks like...

[ He doesn't want to say it for fear of saying it solidifying the very idea... but you probably know it's on the tip of his tongue.

A demon's contract. ]

[ Don't mind William as he moves closer and leans over to get a good look at it. ]

A contract seal.

[ Have a slight eye twitch as he looks back up at Ronald. ]

What did you two get into before I arrived on the Campania? Honestly.

[diehardreaper]

Nothing, honest! The only demon we came into contact with was Sebastian and he wouldn't form another contract without breaking the one he's got with the Phantomhive boy.

[ There's a small frown though as he looks it over. It's still a little striking though, still a little worrying. ]

Don't even remember seeing it 'til now, really. I wouldn't have missed it being right out there and all...

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

[ Good point, Knox. ]

I would say it has something to do with us suddenly arriving here, but I have not seen such a thing anywhere on myself.

[ Doesn't mean it has to be in a noticeable spot, William ;) ]

[diehardreaper]

Don't think it's a demon what's gone and done this to us then? Marked us all and--

[ Shudder. Even the idea was unsettling. ]

That's corals a bit of a wonder though, isn't it? You think that could be it?

[ Could be somewhere inconspicuous -- like, maybe your butt. ]

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

No. They cannot make a contract without the consent of the parties involved. It is the only shred of decency they possess.

[ He adjusts his glasses, thinking as he looks at the odd design of the tattoo. ]

I do not see why the coral would mark you and not me. What would be the purpose of that?

[diehardreaper]

Got a point there... Free will and all that, eh?

[ Still can't help but wonder though if that applies to reapers. Though being held under such close scrutiny... There's a ruffle of his hair as he stays still. ]

Buggered if I know... Course, now I'm kind of wondering if it's really just me.
