a proper introduction? | video;

Who: Ciel Phantomhive
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Vanquish
When: Two days after shuffle/Sunday

[There's a teenaged boy on the screen who looks a bit tired. Someone clearly hasn't been sleeping too well but he brushes it off easily enough. As if it's something he's used to. Those who might know the young Earl Phantomhive though, know that he's actually very used to it.]

Judging by what I arrived during, and what followed, it stands to reason that everyone has been understandably distracted.

Now seems like a suitable time though to properly introduce myself. I'm Ciel Phantomhive, current head of the Phantomhive Earldom. [A very brief pause.] I was, at least. I haven't held the title in a little over a year now. It wouldn't hardly matter here anyway, I'm sure.

Otherwise, it seems I am ow a cook on board the Vanquish. It's a very good thing Undertaker had been teaching me to cook.

.... I'm not quite sure I follow. Suits and mustard gas?

[What do those have to do with werewolves?]

[sweetlies]

[He is doing a bit of a bad job explaining it. He's usually much better about it but, in fairness, he'd spent much of that 'trip' blind and terrified of everything but his gardener.]

It was some kind of project the German government was working on. A young child genius shut away from the world to develop chemicals for them under the guise of protecting a village and calming the 'werewolves' that inhabited the forest when, in reality, they were nothing but soldiers in costumes that protected them from mustard gas they would release on anyone who entered the forest.

[sandywolf]

So they were not actual werewolves, just humans pretending to be.

... I cannot say mustard gas would not be disagreeable, though. We have sensitive noses, even in human form.

[sweetlies]

Exactly so. [Even now, he can't help but think of how ridiculous it was. However effective it might have been.]

I would imagine. Mustard gas, or mustard, I can't say I'm fond of either. Though my senses would be understandably weaker.

[sandywolf]

Well mustard itself does go quite well with raw meat. But we do tend to stick to milder variety, although we are not allergic to it like we are with other things.

Oh, and in case you do wish to have something to protect yourself, which I would recommend anyway although we make sure to be secured for full moon, silver does work as a repellent. Silver-coated bullets or blades.

[He can't help a bit of a cringe. Raw meat and mustard. He's has raw meat before. Once. It wasn't something he would have asked Sebastian to prepare again and it had been a last minute rescue to a ruined meal.]

Silver? I'm not sure I have any but I suppose I could find something eventually.

[sandywolf]

Thankfully it is easy enough to find on any planets we have been to so far. I am sure you can equip yourself relatively easily at our next stop.

[sweetlies]

I'll be sure to keep an eye out then.

[Although, he's wondering how much he really has to worry after that warning.]
