I. {Written}

[mephistophilus]

I see that I have found myself in a most curious land. If someone could lend me some assistance, I would be most appreciative.

{It's not within his nature to become emotional. Some force brought him here - some force greater than him. Therefore he will use his current predicament to his advantage.}

My name is Sebastian Michaelis and I am the Head Butler of the Phantomhive family.

{Though the family consists of one Earl. At least until he marries Lady Elizabeth.}

Should my name sound familiar or should the name Earl Ciel Phantomhive sound familiar, I wish for you to contact me as soon as possible. Thank you.

{He keeps it short and courteous. Such is the manner of a refined butler.

However, after some thought, he adds:}

Was it Davy Jones himself that brought me here? It would be a rare opportunity to meet him.

It's Finnian here and I know Lady Elizabeth is around somewhere as well.

[He should be happy honestly, but he knows he'll get told off at least once for not actually doing what he was suppose to and keeping an eye on Elizabeth. So he's getting ready for that.]

[mephistophilus]

Finnian, why are you not attending to the Lady Elizabeth?

{You saw this coming, Finny. Duck while you can.}

written;

[wantsarobotgarden]

[Sadly, both fear and admiration both compel him to pretty much not duck. But instead be fearful even if he wasn't there in person.]

Because I don't know which ship she is on.

[Or he forgot which ship.]

[mephistophilus]

Why did you not ask her? {Really, Finny. Such a simple fix.} I shall locate her myself. A young lady should not be alone in this environment.

written;

[wantsarobotgarden]

I'm sorry. Things have been kind of hectic and I promise I'll try and fix it, somehow.

[Note the word try.]

[redcinemareel]

[No, her eyes weren't playing tricks on her. No one would give such a name and title except him. So, her casual playtoy is here. She responds, writing in cursive, red font.]

Getting hungry yet, my little demon?

[She'll leave it unsigned. It's better to guess.]

[mephistophilus]

{That gaudy red font. Who else could it be?}

Behaving yourself, Reaper?

{Hey it's valid inquiry, though he knows the answer.}

[redcinemareel]

It's not very nice to answer with a question, you know.

[Just like she knows the answer to her question.]

Like your surroundings?

[mephistophilus]

I was merely copying your example.

{He can play this game.}

It has been awhile since I have seen scenery quite so antiquated.

it was davy jones all right
don't think anyone here has met him in person though
i killed his ex girlfriend so that's good enough for me.
any kind of assistance you need dude
don't know the phantomhive guy but i can tell you all about this place
anything you want to know.

[written]

[mephistophilus]

My, my you accomplished a difficult task, I imagine. {Not that he has any interest in Davy Jones's girlfriends - exes or otherwise.} I would like to know everything you can tell me about our surroundings.

[written]

[hollywood_bro]

fighting sea witches is what i do
got years of experience with it.
there's not much to empieza besides the town and the harbor
you can get everything you need here
but it's kinda boring
if you set sail there are all sorts of islands out there
people are always discovering new ones
we're all looking for shards of a jewel called the piedra roja
it's supposed to be really fucking powerful once it's assembled.

[written]

[mephistophilus]

Then I am relieved to make your acquaintance. {He has a feeling he can take care of Sea Witches too, but that's beside the point.} What sort of power does the jewel lend? Is it useful for returning home?

[Written]

[thewatchdogswife]

Sebastian! You're here now as well? Are you okay?

[And then as an afterthought...]

This is Elizabeth!

[Written]

[mephistophilus]

My lady, I would recognize your handwriting anywhere. I must thank you for inquiring after my health, yet I am far more concerned about your own well-being.

[Written]

[thewatchdogswife]

[She smiles widely at the reply, reliable Sebastian, same as always.]

I'm fine! I arrived here several months ago, but Ciel was with me back then and took care of me. He's not here anymore though, I'm sorry.

[Unless Sebastian magically has Ciel in one of his pockets, but if he did he would have mentioned it... At least she thinks so.]

[Written]

[mephistophilus]

You have been on your own? Which ship did you board? {Yes, he would have. While he can usually travel to Ciel's side, Ciel does not have the same abilities.} I am sorry you haven't been better protected. I shall rectify that as soon as possible.

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

There's a quick way to meet him, but it sucks.

[Voice]

[mephistophilus]

Please explain. {His attention is caught.}

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

Just drown.

[That is how he met the dude.]

[Voice]

[mephistophilus]

I am afraid that would be exceedingly difficult for me to do.

Voice

[bless_me_bagpipes]

[Have a Scottish accent here.]

I hope you have more luck tracking that blustering barnacle down that I have so far...

[Scrooge was intrigued when he read the word "butler" but it was not in fact Duckworth. He responded all the same, preferring the verbal communication over the written. Saves time, and time is money]

Assuming that he even exists.

[Oh he was still trying to track down those that were present when Davy Jones made a personal appearance]

Voice

[mephistophilus]

I will do my best. {His voice is nothing but polite.} If he was not the one who brought us here, who is responsible?

{That question is posed inquisitively. He isn't jumping to any conclusions yet. There are too many questions left unanswered.}

Voice

[bless_me_bagpipes]

Your guess would be as good as mine. [Then to explain why there was any doubt in the first place] Allegedly Davy Jones has only made one appearance, and even then it sounded as if it could have just been a sort of projection.

I didn’t witness the occurrence my’self mind you.

Voice

[mephistophilus]

I hope he chooses to show himself again. {That's all they can wish for when he keeps to himself.} We shall have to keep vigilant.
