Characters: Ciel, Lizzie, and whoever runs into them
Setting: Starting in the dormitories, feel free to run into them at any floor you choose as they explore
Format: we're using action, but feel free to do whatevers comfortable!
Summary: The two young English nobles have awoken to find themselves in the Tower, and are quite bent on figuring out where exactly they are.
Warnings: Ciel is a jerkbutt.

When Ciel first awoke, his surroundings themselves were enough to send him into a panic. The 30 seconds of sleep paralysis didn’t make the situation much better, really-- one could say he was quite alarmed by this point. So when he could finally feel mobility returning to his body, he shot upright, almost tipping over from the lingering woozy effects. Two notes drifted off of the bed and onto the floor, causing the young earls eyebrows to raise ever so slightly. Ah. Ransom notes, then? A kidnapping, then-- But Sebastian would deal with that as per usual, he was quite sure. Shrugging ever so slightly, he jumped to his feet, picking up the papers with a careful hand and reading them over with a quick and practiced eye.
...Well, this was rather different.
Identifying the trunk mentioned in the second letter, Ciel dug through it, observing the things that had been provided to him from home, mind wracking over the situation at hand. First of all, he’d need to figure an alias-- he could recycle the one he had during the circus, wouldn’t be much of an issue. He’d need to also dress down as to not appear rich or distinguished, and luckily enough, there was a good enough outfit at hand to provide him a decent cover. Changing quickly and pulling on his eye-patch, he tucked his gun beneath his jacket, and headed out the door to survey the area.

There in the doorway of a room not five doors down the hall stood a familiar twin-tailed blond girl, a sheepish smile set over her cute doll-like face. Like Ciel, she’d woken up to find the letters, as well as her trunk. Normally she would have loved the sight of the beautiful dresses inside of it, but in that moment, she lamented their uselessness in the face of her very unfamiliar and potentially dangerous surroundings.

Someone had packed her trunk well, though. Digging a little deeper, she’d found two rapiers inside of it, gleaming and perfect for protection. The familiar grip on a bladed weapon was enough to reassure her that she would be alright for the moment, and upon leaving the room with one in hand, she’d been ready to head out to explore.

And then she’d noticed Ciel coming her way. She immediately tossed the rapier back into her trunk, slammed the door shut behind her, and gave him that sheepish smile.

((ooc: the conversation between the two will continue on in the log here, assume any thread you start is set afterwards :3 Approach wherever in the tower you choose! protip: the more technology the area has, the more luls to be had at the bbs expenses.))

That would be the initial reaction, yes. But from the looks of it, it must be at least a half truth.

If what they say is incorrect, then the logical assumption is that we were kidnapped, be it on purpose or random chance. I would suggest we lay low and use alternate personas for the time being... do you have any less showy clothes you could wear, perhaps?

[She pauses, her lips twisting into a little pout as she looks down at her sailor outfit.]

Even this is too showy?

...I'm afraid so, given our current situation.

[Lizzie it would be too showy no matter where they were gosh >:T]

[She can't help being stylish okok.]

I'll try to find something else in my trunk, but I might not have anything else other than my dresses. I'm sorry, Ciel...
