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.))

Floor 12 Space room!

Romeo was laid on his back looking at the exploding stars. This was quite an awkward position to be in since his four hooved legs stuck up in the air awkwardly and he had to hold his head up to stop his antlers scraping at the floor.

"You're just pretending." There was a white weasel on his stomach but it seemed that Romeo was just talking to the room in general. "You're bad people and you're just pretending that the worlds ended. You've magicked up all these stars to explode to make us sad. You are bad bad people." As well as the antlers and the hooves, his mouth and nose were long like a deers bones exposed in both his legs and mouth where skin no longer could cover.

He heard a sound and carefully moved his head to the side to see who had came in.

Lizzie paused at the doorway, looking in surprise at the sight of the strange...stag-like creature laying on its back. Exploring the area was proving to reveal strange things indeed.

"...hello."

Romeo smiled when he saw the girl and rolled awkwardly onto his front, standing up on shakey feet. Piccolo, the weasel; ran forwards to sniff at the girls shoes. "Hello!" Romeo greeted her with a smile, he hadn't seen her before.

Ciel placed a gentle hand on Lizzies shoulder, almost protectively-- there was no telling what they were getting themselves into in this particular situation.

"Do you live here?"

He asked carefully, trying to step himself between his fiance and the strange... creature.

There was a boy there as well, they seemed about Romeo's age, maybe a little bit older but their clothes made them look more like the rich children of Milano. He recognised the protective gesture and didn't go any closer though it made him sad that they would think he would hurt them just because of how he looked.

"I was kidnapped same as you," he said with a sad look in his eyes.

...having Ciel be protective over her was nice. It reminded her of a dream she used to have. But that was hardly important at the moment. Contrary to Romeo's thoughts, Lizzie wasn't all too perturbed by his appearance. Though that was partly because she thought it to be a costume of some sorts. She gave the weasel a small smile before nodding in solemn understanding.

"We just arrived here. Could you tell us a little about this place?"

Piccolo promptly tried to climb her leg and Romeo took that to mean she must be a good person, so he smiled brightly at them. "Yes, I have been here for ages. You're in a tower and were kidnapped here by bad people. We can't escape and some of the floors are really scary so you have to be careful!"
