The Clocktower

With a slight shuffle of his arms within his pockets. Kane proceeded to move about the area attempting to keep to himself until the words of the woman before him fell onto his ears. His mind began to slowly lose itself as his tongue felt as though it was now being crucified with red hot steaks attempting to stop him from speaking up and mentioning anything stupid for the time being. “I…” His deep and heavy tone began to escape his lips as Kane removed his hood and attempted to make eye contact with the female, despite his hair stilled pushed itself over the ends of his eyes.

“It would be best if you avoid saying anything to avoid making yourself look like a bigger idiot then what you already are…” Kane’s mind began to speak to himself upon realizing that by hiding away his face like some date rapist he more than likely already revealed himself to be foolish and rather dark. “Haha…” His voice now trailed off into a nervous laugh as he attempted to look around him for a seat to which to rest his feet after having walked about the area for such a long amount of time prior to meeting those around him.

The slender young male glanced at the man in the hood out of the corner of his eye. His thoughts weren't anything good about him in fact he found it best that he stayed in his little corner and made himself comfortable. My dear, he says with his eyes now focused on her and his voice as soft as child in church "If you insist, if it is not to much trouble a simple milk tea would suffice." Noah then shifted his eye a tad bit lower to her hands. "But with hand such as yours I wouldn't want you to burn yourself." he Kissed her knuckle and bowed once more. "A princess is doing the work of a pauper How sad." his voice low but just barley audible. He wanted her to here how disappointed he was in her demeaning herself to get him tea but that was a ploy he really wanted that tea.

Noah continued to ignore the existence of the other males make his way to take a seat near the man in the hooded cloak or whatever common people wore. He re moved his coat because the heat was starting to get to him. The sweat although he did his best to hold it back the sweat was coming. But he didn’t panic in the heat he elegantly removed his own coat even though he was used to having it removed for him. He placed himself just far enough from the man so his when he crossed his legs he wouldn't touch him then he thought about his tea."Knowing commoners they think that tampon is the best of the tea oh why did I accept..." He lamented in his mind while he waited on his tea.

A flash caught his senses he knew what it was a It was a photographer capturing his vaunted image. He didn't like them much either.

Her breath was now able to be seen in the cold fresh night. Taking another few seconds to watch the now falling snow from the sky above. Her eyes started to turn into a strange dark aquas color. But yet, still having a heavy red tint to them.

Slowly, Minka turned her body and walked into the clock tower itself. Blinking a few times, seeing so many people there at the moment.

She looked over to the hooded man and bit her lip. He's barely said anything and it started to bother her. He was so quiet, if only for a moment, she wanted to hear what he's thinking inside. She tilted her head and looked over at him
"What would you like to drink?" she gave a small smile trying to comfort him and perhaps encourage him to say something. She looked directly at him, and tried to look at his eyes. She was able to see a gleam of what seems to be a dark blue to her. She started to ponder, what color were they?

She shifted her eyes back at the wealthier looking boy.
"You got it!" She gave a small laugh and continued to smile. The air was so cozy and warm feel. It was similar to the warm feeling on Christmas morning.

As he kissed her knuckles, her countenance was very pallid. The whiteness of her face make her look terribly ill. Her hand start to shake as she skipped a breath and gulped. She bit her lip and mumbled as her eyebrows furrowed together.

"A princess now?" She let out a nervous chuckle before continuing "I wouldn't say that, but it would be exciting to be one for a day. Just for a day though. I'm quite happy living as a girl of lesser class." The thought of being a princess started to upset her. She envied higher class aristocrats, it was something she's never been. Often, she feels inferior to them, they seemed civilized. They way they dressed, talked and lived. However, she wasn't jealous of that, she envied their importance in the world. They world wasn't going to forget them. She wanted someone to remember her at least.

She slipped her hand away once again rubbing it. She started to make her way to the kettle as she heard his voice in a disappointed tone. The words from his voice stuck guilt inside her heart. She was getting frustrated, was he toying with her? She rubbed her head and started to boil the water.
She turned back to him.
"Do you do this to everyone?" her voice was a tad assertive but quickly returned to a more humble tone. She didn't know how to word her question towards him, it was very vague but she prayed that he knew what she was talking about. She turned back to him and gave him a light smile as if it was the most naturally thing to do. If he was toying with her, she wasn't going to lose and give into him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She finished making his milk tea and he looked at the others. She started to blink at the others around. She was so fixated with the another boy, she almost forgot about the new people who came in. She gave a friendly grin and asked.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see you. Welcome though, would you like anything to drink?"

With eyes heavy with an odd assortment of feelings ranging from his very own incontinent to speak up towards the people around him, and the slight feeling of loneliness that knowing even though he was making an attempt those around him didn’t seem to have the slightest intention of attempting to speak to him in any way shape form or fashion. It was true that he couldn’t speak up around those around him, yet now he was unable to even clearly understand what it was that was going on around him.

“I…Hello?” Kane’s words attempted to find meaning as he looked down towards the ground once again letting his hair fall over his eyes like dark strands of a willow dancing over its own branches. His heavy eyes attempted to take view of the world around him without losing a sense of self with each and every glance that he managed to connect onto the people around and about him.

“Do you have Gyokuro?” Kane’s voice attempted to speak up without carrying over a heavy tone of his own impulses behind it. “It’s… a rare breed of leaf shipped from one of the Northern Islands…” Kane’s voice attempted to sound somewhat natural rather than sounding robotic as he normally seemed to. It was true and somewhat sincere the words he attempted to carry out of his voice, despite his odd and rather heavy tone about doing so.

The corners of his mind attempted to bite down onto the very depths of his cerebellum with its sharp thoughts. “You honestly think that anyone gives a damn about your country boy style tea? You are about to be honestly play yourself off like a moron simply because you are not in the mood to speak to these people? Look at this guy he’s about to get all the play for himself while you are sitting here looking like an idiot. Give me a second to take control of this worthless piece of shit of a body we call our own and I’ll be able to show you a good time that no one will ever forget.” The voice taunted Kane time and time again as he finally placed his hands inside of his pocket once again and turned his back from the group as though attempting to absorb in some of the scenery around him.

“Maybe being here was a bad idea…” Kane spoke to himself in a tone deep and loud enough that it seemed to carry throughout the area. Kane slowly began to shift his right shoulder several more times as the weight of his own treasure seemed to weigh him down time and time again. Kane would simply sit with his back against those around him waiting for them to give him a proper response.

Being a very Japanese man himself and knowing what the tea he requested was he had to take note of his comments. Gyokuro was a fine tea grown in the shade rather than the sun and was one of the finest teas in the world probably in all of Japan. Nowatanabe Leaned back in his seat while the host, now tended to the small crowd of people now entering the area. he looked at the young man who was older than himself, "Well a man who knows his leaves." He said to the male in a soft whisper, who seemed to lack the training to splice together letters to form words let alone a sentence. It was a compliment if the male knew it or not. He smiled in his direction "Interesting... interesting indeed." He chuckled to himself as the female showed some fire to the young man. Perhaps she was annoyed that he hasn't told her his name or he hadn't even asked for hers, it was of no real trouble to him what her problem was. If he wanted he could has answered honestly and said yes everyone get this from me but he opted to dance around the question as a whole, "My dear there is no everyone." his face in a slight smile his eyes glaring at her soul.

Noah knew that when she brought his tea he would have to play a bit harder He was losing this one and he didn't like to lose.

She looked toward the man with the hood and furrowed her brows together. She pressed her right thumb and lowered her lip. She hasn't heard that kind of tea anywhere. She quickly walked up the stairs to check if there was a small possibly that there might be some. As she opened the cabinet, just as Remilia thought, there wasn't any however, a small grin painted itself on her face. She closed the cabinet door slowly until it made a 'click!' and made her way downstairs.

"I'm sorry, I don't think we have any but..." she paused for a second and took out her Spectacles from her left pocket. She gently placed them on her face and cleared her throat, "What's your favorite place in the world?" The question rang in the air for a good 20 seconds. The question was irreverent and completely out of the blue however, Remilia would always have a reason for everything.

She turn to the other boy and glanced from his smile to his eyes. Her eyes grew dull and indifferent and her smile did the same. She tilted her spectacles down, signally the start at this little game.
"There is no everyone? I suppose your right, I can't argue that." She paused for a second and looked out the window. "Ouji-kun, you look and act like prince charming. Do you use that charm to 'seduce' most the people you meet?"
She looked back at him replacing her indifferent attitude with curiosity. "Say I was a princess, could you lie to her?"
She ended her sentence with a small sadness in her tone. She sat down and patted her clothes down for any dust. She leaned on her head on her hand.

Kane’s deepening eyes continued to glare into the eternal uncertainty that was the female who he now turned around to look towards. “Doesn’t this bitch know it’s rude to carry on a conversation when you ain’t trying to give your fully undivided attention? Give me a second with this meat bag you call a body and I’ll show her what it means to hold onto some god damn manners when speaking to someone.” The thoughts of his own mind continued to try to escape from the corner of his very own thought process. “I think it’s best if we just stab this bitch right now with our little ‘treasure’ and get her out of our way…”

Kane’s very own mind attempted to intercept the words vibrating throughout his mind. “Stop it.. you know as well as I do that it’s not going to make anything better.” Kane turned around facing the female before him with a cryptic looking grin atop his face, his face seemed to carry a rather heavy glare atop it. He was making his best attempt to carry on a façade of someone who was not willing to shatter his true self.

“What if we were to give her kiss?” His voice began to echoe as he attempted to speak once again only to have his conscious stop him. “Just a kiss?” Kane began to notice he was now understanding the voices within his head, or maybe he was slowly being devoured away by the voice before he closed his eyes and concentrate once again. “That is a slight shame I suppose. However, as far as your other question I will reframe from answering it until you are free to speak…” Kane attempted to be as kind as he could despite the person before him obviously having no intention of sharing the same senses.

Slowly moving his hair out of the way of his very own eyes, Kane began to laugh to himself. His chuckle very deep and heavy as though somewhat of a maniacal taunt behind it, he was beginning to lose himself within the thoughts of his other self. “You know how that story goes right? A beautiful disaster sweeps through the world and carries the maidens off into a fantasy world. We could be her fantasy, her disaster, and even her final regret with just a single kiss…” The broken voice attempted to grab a hold of Kane’s center thought process before he grew quiet as though looking for something else to do.

Now the girl was being rude for reasons Unknown to Noah and he knew she wouldn't have such an expensive tea. He barley kept tea like that in his estate and not for lack of trying but he wasn't to upset with the female she brought him his milk tea and it was dismal she could tell due to the darkness of the tea even with the milk that the tea brewed for far too long and was yes still brewing..... Noah removed the tampon tea bag from his glass and placed it on the dish and blew on the light brown brew. It was just as he feared he crossed his legs and lifted the glass and pretended to drink the from her cup.

While she spoke her words did nothing but piss him off, sure she didn't know his name but she didn't ask and her manners were piss poor at best her lack of not knowing name proved that. She could even boil water correctly how did she expect to satisfy his desires she couldn't! As she talked she hit the nail on the head he does try to seduce all he meets but she had no right to say to him so brashly didn't she know who he was?, no she didn't and that was the 1st problem.

then she ask a question along the lines of would he lie to her if she was a princess. The boy sat his cup back down on the plate and looked here in the eyes and told her in his sweetest voice, "Yes." He felt he had explain himself but she had made him so angry already he didn't care for her anymore he was more interested in the silent fellow.

She nodded and went to go pick up her bag by the stairway. She let out a sign and put on her coat and hat. She walked over to them and tilted her hate.
"There's something about you of higher class. To think you you could be civilized and uncivilized all at the same time." Her tone was harsh but wasn't yet harsh. It was similar to a teacher admonishing their students.
"I think I've met enough people of your kind already. I'm not weak-minded." As she said the final words of her sentence started to fade. She looked at the surroundings. The clocktower was filthy, filled with cobwebs and soon shifted her eyes towards Ouji-kun. Figures, like a boy of his class could enjoy this lift. This is the poorer side of Hokkaido, a life he wouldn't understand but it wasn't his fault. As for her name, she would rarely give it out and he was a good example why. He wouldn't remember anyway so why even try to state it?

She flipped her switch on her spectacles and suddenly the clocktower walls started to fade anything into a a dining room with beautiful carpentry, servants with gold-trim clothing and a feast of at least 3 different European cuisines.
She spit at the ground and opened the door and paused
"Welcome to Hokkaido" she said in subtle tone. She looked back at the hooded man and looked over at him and sighed. She walked over to him and lended a hand out.
"My name's Remilia, What's yours?" She smiled shyly but in a friendly way. She started to look into his eyes more, or at least tried. They were a pretty color although, she was still trying to identify them. Out of the blue she asked.
"As for the tea, I think I know a place that might have it but I need to order some more for the cabinet upstairs. Do you know a place that might have some of those leaves?"

from one of the shadowed corners of the clocktower, two great, red, evil eyes stared at leeloo, however there was no body visible to go with them and then a voice was heard.
"its cold out on this dismal winter night and to make it worse a blizzard is approaching....it was a good idea to shelter yourself inside the clocktower" it said as the eyes blinked and awaited a reaction.

Subject: Re: The Clocktower Sat Nov 21, 2009 10:06 pm

*eyes change to a deep sparkly orange and looks at the red eyes*
maybe i dont want to take shelter
*walks towards the eyes, pulling my hands out of my pockets*

Subject: Re: The Clocktower Sat Nov 21, 2009 10:09 pm

a chuckle came from the corner and then the red eyes looked towards the clocktower entrance and indeed there had begun a terrible blizzard "looks like we are both stuck here now.....but if you arent here for shelter then what other possible reaosn could there be ?" it asked however its voice wasnt aggresive in fact it seemed darkly concerned and calm.

Subject: Re: The Clocktower Sat Nov 21, 2009 10:11 pm

i like it here
*looks at the eyes*
why dont you show yourself?

Subject: Re: The Clocktower Sat Nov 21, 2009 10:15 pm

"If that is what you wish" craiger muttered kindly as he stepped into the light, he wore a black suit from the neck down and upon his head sat an equally black top hat, around his shoulder's was a darkened cape and he held a cane whith a silver tip and skull shaped head.
"yes i remember you....you met him not long ago and although you only knew each other a short while he had fond memories of you which he carried to his grave" he muttered mysteriously.

Subject: Re: The Clocktower Sat Nov 21, 2009 10:16 pm

*looks him up and down*
who are you talking about sir?
*takes a step back*

Subject: Re: The Clocktower Sat Nov 21, 2009 10:19 pm

"if he was still alive, your words would hurt him dearly....he would feel sadness at the thought of you forgetting him" he muttered as he stared at leeloo with menacing eye's and he noticed her confused expression "of course you know im refering to artix von creg dont you?" he asked rather mockingly.

Subject: Re: The Clocktower Sat Nov 21, 2009 10:20 pm

*looks at him with somewhat wide eyes, beginning to tear up*
A-aritx is d-dead?

Subject: Re: The Clocktower Sat Nov 21, 2009 10:24 pm

craiger relished her tears, finnaly he had found somebody he could ensue with chaos "yes i speak the truth, artix is dead....he was killed by hitoshineru and he died slowly and painfully...during his last moments all manner of things ran through his head incuding you...he reggreted that he could spend more time with but most of all he reggreted that he didnt say goodbye the last time you met......and now he never can" he explained with a small smile.

Subject: Re: The Clocktower Sat Nov 21, 2009 10:25 pm

*holds back the tears and looks at him again*
why are you smiling?
*growls*

Subject: Re: The Clocktower Sat Nov 21, 2009 10:28 pm

"one reason" he began taking a step closer towards leeloo "i know something that might change your opinion of me....something you may very well want to know" he chuckled

Subject: Re: The Clocktower Sat Nov 21, 2009 10:29 pm

*steps back, eyes growing darker, looking at him, teeth growing sharp*
oh yeah?
*growls*
and what would that be?

Subject: Re: The Clocktower Sat Nov 21, 2009 10:32 pm

Craiger sharply cracked his cane on the floor as he stopped his approach "in a sense...i am apart of artix.....and the last thing in this world that is proof of his existance....after all nobody found his body and there are none of his belongings left.....its as if he was wiped from the face of the earth.....but i remain as evidence......do you understand yet?" he asked sinisterly as the roar of the blizzard echoed around the clocktower giving the sounds of the turning gears an eerie feeling.
