[Hello Vatheon.

If you wander past the plaza at all today, you will find something a little funny about it.

And by a little, I mean a lot.

For you will see Matthew and Saya piecing together what seems to be...a gingerbread village. Wait, no, that's not entirely right.

It appears to be a gingerbread model of Vatheon (not quite to scale); stray pieces of gingerbread and cartons of frosting lie scattered around, even as Matthew lies on his stomach and carefully puts a roof onto one of the apartments.

What do you mean they're out of season? These two certainly don't seem to care.]

Hey, Saya, can you hand me the blue frosting?

[um excuse you, demon, he's an adult.]

Yes yes, that's the plan.

Whatever occupies time is a good enough project.

[xthecorvus]

[ Hey when you're over 400 years old, everyone's a kid. ]

It certainly seems so... though, if I may be so bold as to ask just what inspired such a project?

[redcloakedthief]

[...s h r u g.]

I guess we really were bored.

[He bites into a piece of gingerbread.]

I think it was Saya's idea.

[xthecorvus]

An entire replica of the city done entirely out of gingerbread...

[ just a moment to pause on this. ]

You're both either dedicated to the place or have been here long enough to know each and every nuance of it.

[redcloakedthief]

[He pauses then, chewing thoughtfully, before turning to meet Sebastian's eyes.]

I've been here for two years, thirteen days and 7 hours.

Does that answer your question?

[xthecorvus]

Rather concisely, yes. I can most certainly see why you've both chosen to pass your time in such a manner.

[ Though he's still just...looking over the model with a measure of consideration. Not bad for a pair who didn't take up culinary artistry professionally if not for the scale. ]

And this would be the entire city?

[redcloakedthief]

And the church.

[He points it out at the top of the upper district.]

I know it's gone now, but it just seemed so wrong to leave it out now.

[xthecorvus]

A church...?

[ Eyes following Matthew's direction now. ]

If I may pry, what happened here in order for what seems to be an entire quadrant to have disappeared without a trace?

[redcloakedthief]

Oh...you know. A shadow ate it.

The usual sort of thing.

[xthecorvus]

Usual...? You speak as if this is a common occurrence in this place.

[ Head tilting before glancing off to where he speculated the church would be. ]

However, I can't say this is surprising in the least considering the nature of this city.

[ A sigh. ]

Ah, do pardon my lack of manners. I am Sebastian Michaelis, butler to the Earl of Phantomhive.
You would be...?

[redcloakedthief]

It is. You can't have been here long if something as mundane as that surprised you.

[heh.]

Sebastian. Gotcha. You can call me Matthew, if you want.
