He is the reaper of souls...
He is my moving shadow.
He is the darkness swelling inside me.
He is my black soul.
But he will save me.

Episode 41 - Overtaker
"Oh, my," the Overtaker said, setting his elbows on the desk and leaning his face in his hands. "How long has it been since you've walked in this store, my lord?"
I just glared at him as Sebastian closed the door behind us. "Don't get cocky. I came for answers."
He just giggled and stood up straighter, stepping a little over to the side and adjusting his items back in place. "Of course, I suspected so." He then glanced over at me. "But, alas, I'm afraid nothing in this world is free."
Sebastian just stopped by my side, remained silent, but alert.
"What do you want?" I demanded angrily, lashes lowering. "Ten thousand?"
He made an impatient sound. "I don't want your money, my lord. There's some stuff that's priceless. And... what information I'm guessing you want is priceless, indeed. I must ask for something else, something in return."
"My lord promises no immunity," Sebastian said then, tone dark in warning. "We will never trust that you will not betray us."
"Oh, my, no, that's not what I'm asking at all," Overtaker said then, smirking as he looked up at Sebastian. "You remember my favorite form of payment, don't you, Sebastian?"
His lashes lowered in response.
"Ah, yes, you do," the Overtaker said then. "After all the times Ciel demanded information, I'd only request one thing." He winked. "A joke."
I blinked.
"Hold on... what?" I stammered for a moment. "All you want is a joke in return for all information on Edward and the father? You're so loyal to them and that's all you want?"
"Jokes are priceless indeed," the Overtaker said then, hopping over the counter and sitting on it. He kicked out his legs in excitement. "The world is so boring now-a-days. All politics this, and all angry customers, that. What can I do to get a few laughs?"
Sebastian just watched him. "If I tell you a joke, you will give us all information on The Father and that lousy demon?"
