[All filtered from Gilbert Nightray C:]

[The feed clicks on a young man laying down on what looks like a bench at the ubiquitous stadium with his eyes closed and his blond hair mussed. There’s sounds of people talking off-screen but their voices are indiscernible and the young man seems unconcerned about them as well. His eyes open in a squint, one red, one wine gold.]

At home, it’s Spring. I am entirely undressed for this weather. Heh. [He extends his arm so one may see his light long sleeved dress shirt and vest with no coat. His outfit may also be of noble or Victorian design depending on what sort of world the viewer is from. Wherever he's from, it is no where like Siren's Port.] My older brother scold me so much if he saw me but...

[The feed moves out of range of his expression and onto his neck tie.] Not now.

[The feed lifts back onto his face that is now contorted into a beaming grin.] Who can keep a secret? I wonder. How do you keep one?



[Filtered to Jack Vessalius]

I have your earrings still. To get them back however you must come and do something for me.

[Filtered to Ciel Phantomhive]

I see you are still here too. My condolences though I am certain you are in a good way. I imagine Gilbert is still with your household...?

[Filtered to Raul Creed]

Would it be too uncouth to ask for my old job back?

[Filtered to Elliot Nightray]

Little brother. I am sorry. I...

[He sighs.]

I told him what you wanted me to. Please don’t tell Gil I am here.

[Filtered to Xerxes Break]

It seems you may be having trouble with your inbox Mr. Hatter. Perhaps this will help.

[Tee hee.]

Well, look who it is. The prodigal Nightray.

[cruelties]

As astute as ever Master Trancy. [And please forgive him for what he may do.]

You like games, right?

[Private to Vincent]

[littlest_lord]

_{[A good way...well he is now. Somewhat. Not really, what with his birthday coming soon and all. Still, this is a face he didn't expect to see and it doesn't take him long to respond.]}

It is good to see you again. Yes, Gilbert is still here, ever so diligent as usual.

[Private to Ciel]

[cruelties]

Good. And I only have one favor to ask then:

Don't tell him I am here.

[ferventknight]

[ that voice. it was the last one elliot expected to hear. he won't respond right away due to the fact he couldn't necessarily believe it. he was back.

vincent.

and the words spoken directly at elliot.. it cause a sharp pain in his heart. he knew exactly what his brother meant. he was the last one to talk to elliot before he had died and his request--

for some reason, the young nightray began feeling guilty about the ill temper he took to vincent on many occasions but right now wasn't the time to dwell on that. he was spoken to and it was about time to give a response back. it just seemed hard. ]

Vin--

private video. 2/2

[ferventknight]

[ he's flipping on his video now, it's clear that elliot is a bit troubled with words. he just stares into the camera before speaking hesitantly. ]

You.. Thank you. [ was that all he could really say? clearing his throat, he spoke quietly as he sat in his own room. he didn't need anyone overhearing this conversation outside his door is someone managed to pass by. ]

I won't tell him. [ he played the same game when he arrived so he doesn't blame him. but he'll continue.]

But you don't need to apologize for anything.

[motioned]

[Oh.]

Welcome back.

voice;

[cruelties]

Ah. Is this Ahiru?

[Video]

[seaphonic]

_{[Oh...she knows this face. She hasn't seen it for awhile but-]}

Your brother is Gilbert. The one with seaweed hair.

_{[She remembers! And that meant he was Elliot's brother too.]}

A secret is kept by staying silent. That is obvious, is it not?

[Video]

[cruelties]

My lady is correct. But sometimes it's hard to keep that silence.

[psychopath]

Where are you?

private / video

[cruelties]

The baseball diamond. Where else?

video

[petalpluck]

You don't let other people know you have one.

video

[cruelties]

Ah. But sometimes your mere presence is the secret. And one gets nowhere staying locked up.

[inthejunk]

[Oh. Hey. He remembers you.]

Do you need some help, Nightray-San? I could Gil for you. I was on my way there anyway.

[video]

[cruelties]

[Oh god damn it Yosuke! He has not been here for two hours and you're already meddling just by being an idiot--]

Ha ha, no, that is not necessary!

[ Video ]

[maddeninghatter]

Ha! Ha! Ha!

How very droll, Lord Vincent.

[ Video ]

[cruelties]

I knew you get the joke Mr. Hatter. ♥

[Video]

[blondandperfect]

[Her eyes shimmer, Hattie's pleased to see that Vincent's back. He's so suave, even when he's freezing; yeek! <3]

I can keep a secret! It isn't very difficult, at least not in my experience..

[Especially when you get something out of it as a result of said secret. Good times.]

[Video]

[cruelties]

[...Oh god she's still here? Well, perhaps she has made some progress in his time away. And besides he could always use a woman to bend around his little finger.]

I am certain you can Ms. Hattie, after all no one gets anywhere by telling people what they want to hear!

[likepaleglass]

I tend not to tell anyone.

But I suppose it depends on what you're trying to hide.

[video]

[cruelties]

Oh, just your arrival from one person.

[ Video ]

[ella_of_frell]

Just don't tell anyone you have a secret.

[ Ella's pretty good about keeping secrets herself, Especially her own. ]

What about you? Can you keep a secret?

[ Video ]

[cruelties]

Oh, yes, I am quite good at it. [After all he managed to conceal having a beheading monster at his beck and command for at least two years and managed to lie to his brother about the past for ten.]

Unfortunately however sometimes we must also rely on others to share it.

[reassures]

You keep a secret by never mentioning it again.

[A small pause. She remembers him being here before, and having spoken to him once or twice, but not about anything substantial that she can recall.]

It's Vincent-- right?

text

[cruelties]

I am Vincent Nightray. Correct. I suppose you are familiar with my brother(s)?

And ha, if only, if only secrets could so easily be forgotten!

[video]

[iudex]

By not speaking of the secret. ...certainly it wouldn't be too difficult.

[just avoid the subject entirely, as a whole. it's easier that way.

and, because younger siblings are all moody (perfect, wonderful, he loves lacie so much) troublemakers:]

You shouldn't worry your brother so.

[cruelties]

[Is that really? Is it really...?]

[thebutler_serving]

Oh, dear.

That must be unpleasant, Sir. [Though Sebastian certainly can relate to arriving trashed in a less than desirable state]

[cruelties]

Ah, is that...Lord Ciel's Sebastian?
