How Is a Raven Like a Writing Desk?

[seablaze]

Characters: The Hatter, The March Hare, and Vatheon! Guest Starring Alice.
Location: Park
Time: Evening
Style: What you're comfortable with
Status: Open


Anyone close to or wandering the park might be drawn by the glow of lanterns. They were strung around and over a large table. There were various tea cups, tea pots, flower pots, watering cans, and plates all around. None of the chairs matched either and ranged from bar stools to plush office chairs. Bread, butter, jam and small cakes were in the middle. There was a pocket watch resting inside of the creamer.

A pair could be found there, sitting rather close. The Hatter had his feet kicked up on the table's edge, a tea and saucer balanced in his hand. He was watching his partner with amusement. Why? Because the tea was spiked with rum. He needed something to loosen up his little March Hare.

((Expect tags from Faris, Laharl, or both. Ciel might be dragged in as well)).

Get used to it. City gets weird all the time.

[ He's not lifting his head though, just kinda sliding it to the side to glance at him. ]

Okay. Okay, this time I gotta ask. Are you a guy? Coz the last time, I kinda thought one of my roomies was a girl.

[ Slump. Yep, alcohol getting to him. ]

Dammit, why can't any of you guys dress normally?!

[seablaze]

[And himself. He wasn't used to frills or Victorian fashion. Well, the pirate thing touched on it a bit, but without the frills. And the hat.

Faris was going to lose the kids in the custody battle with the Butler later, huh?]

The ears are actually kind of cute. [Leans over to touch one. What is this personal space and should pirates actually care?]

My mate is stuck in a seal skin. He had to borrow some of my newly gifted clothes. Lets just say my clothes are a couple sizes too small.

[pactum]

O-of course I am!

[ Congratulations Laharl, you've earned yourself your first indignant Ciel Phantomhive outburst! Because he can't see how anyone could possibly recognize him as anything but male, even now. The bows and frills just scream masculinity, don't they?

But whatever anyone will tell you, those are shorts, damn it, not a skort. But soon he dissolves into a 'hmph' and takes another sip of tea instead, setting the spoon aside. That sip actually devolves into him quickly downing the entirety of the cup, glowering over the rim at the two other occupants of the table all the while. ]

Who are the two of you, anyway?

[ About time he asked. ]

[xtsundereprince]

[ The minute Faris gets an inch close to those ears, however, one of them flicks away from that hand. There's a bit of a swatting motion as he takes another gulp of his drink. Before a rather slurred "quit it."

Unfortunately, that is SO a skirt, man.

This earns you a signature Demon Prince Outburst right back. One hand slammed on the table as he gets up in a half drunken stupor. Just to prove a point. ]

The name's Laharl, prince of the Netherworld. Who the hell you think you are?

[ And slumping back down into his seat. Nope. Not all demons are dignified, I'm afraid. ]

[seablaze]

[Maybe he'll just bide his time then. Hand falls to his side as he gave an amused look to his little Hare.]

All right, little mate. [Chuckling at the...passionate introduction. His gaze then moved over to their little...princess.]

Suppose titles don't matter much here. Name's Faris Scherwiz. Yourself [A pause.] lad?

[Tea cup was put down as he grabbed whatever closest to refill it.]

[pactum]

[ Excuse you, Faris, but titles matter a great deal to Ciel, no matter where he is. ]

Ciel Phantomhive. Earl Phantomhive.

[ Which is why he puts such emphasis on his. He'll be refilling his tea cup now, as well. Oh, and glaring at Laharl. ]

Just what do you mean by 'Netherworld?'

[xtsundereprince]

Ya never heard of the Netherworld? What kinda planet do you come from?

[ Draining his rum tea now before he speaks. ]

The place your souls go! Ya never seen a demon before?!

[ Another huff. ]

You'd make a lousy prinny.

[seablaze]

[Some gathering this was. An Earl, a Prince, and a Pirate Captain.]
Pleasure making your acquaintance then, Earl Phantomhive. [Cup was raised, before he took another drink of his tea.]

Just what is a prinny? [Brow raised as he turned his attention back to Laharl.]

[pactum]

I've heard the name before; I simply assumed you couldn't have been daft enough to think yourself prince of such a place. I see now that I assumed incorrectly.

[ Siiip. Is he starting to feel light-headed? Well, at least one of these two has some semblance of politeness. ]

You also, Mister Scherwiz. And I would like to second your question.

[ Because prinny? That's a stupid word. ]

[xtsundereprince]

[ Shaking his head just to get rid of the fact his thoughts are getting fuzzy. It's getting to him too. ]

Well, yeah. Duh. Would be overlord too if this place hadn't kept trying ta suck me up all the time! This is what, third time now?!

[ And sinking further into his seat. ]

S'what human souls turn into when ya die. Ya gotta pay your way back to being human again, y'know.

[seablaze]

Wouldn't surprise me if my Hare here might be a prince. He certainly holds that... certain charm about him.

[Cetain charm could easily translate to arrogance, but the pirate meant it some what fondly. Both of the "kids" were arrogant, and it was something to admire.]

Least I know to avoid putting my life on the line then, if there be some sort of punishment such as that.
