Early in the morning

The streets of London were now setting up their shops as the day's morning light was painting the once grim, depressing nights of the town. Everyone was setting up their corner of the street before any more people arisen from their dreams and welcome their business. And one shop that was already open was filled with laughter and glee at his job is very important.

'Undertaker'.

Okay, now you guys have to remember you got to make a living somewhere in the 1875's (for those who ARE fans of the manga that was the year Ciel was born so around that time.) So yes, starting the day off with deadly departed bodies on your front door is still business. Hey, you gotta make your living somewhere...

Looking over the three newly arrived bodies and examining each of the people. He would figure out what they should be wearing, should they have flowers or something to bring them to the land of departed. And what or how they passed.

Chuckling, with creaky laugher filling the room. "Yes, I could use a few flowers to cover up the wound. Making them look beautiful.~" Closing the case of the coffin he went to his bowl of water to wash his hands at the last body in a coffin.

While singing merrily at how much fun his job is for him, making his way over to the third coffin opening the lid. "Now, let's see what we have here then-"

However, a once merrily grin fully Undertaker went from happy to a quick face of disappointment. "I don't like this one bit. Not a single wound on the body at all.....how pathetic.~" The body that laid before the Undertaker was a man with red glasses, long hair a style only a woman would wear, and dressed in a crimson red undercoat. With a single flower over his body and when he heard the Undertaker's word his eyes snap open and grabbing a hold on his throat.

"EXCUSE ME!? BUT WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!?"

Throwing his neck back and forth the Undertaker was wearing a shocked face at the body is alive!?

The Phantomhive manor was now early in rising too. Now that Ciel Phantomhive has three of the Rozen Maiden dolls he did have a bit of a skip in his step today at how easy these dolls are. Yes, they may have made his 'Rook' their medium but hey they still share the same roof over his head.

Beggars can't be choicer. While stroking through the hallways of the manor Sebastian was walking down the hallway telling his young master of his schedule this morning. Now that Suiseiseki's twin Souseiseki was getting comfortable with her life here she seems more open and honest with Ciel. Yeah....she had some walls built up but the two came to a mutual understanding.

When Ciel compared the two side by side, Ciel does see the faces are one of the same but, their personalities are like night and day. Yes, Ciel believes there was a mistake on the papers saying all the dolls were females. But when he saw Souseiseki for the first time he thought it was a boy. After explaining the reason he heard the term from (Y/n) which she calls 'Tomboyish' style.

Souseiseki was another Rozen Maiden added to help and aid (Y/n) if ever Ciel and Sebastian are apart from her. Which set him at ease Hinaichigo was the defense, Suiseiseki and Souseiseki are the elemental knights so to speak. But back to right now, Ciel heard Sebastian mention the word 'dancing' Ciel already was growling at the long lesson that will bring him.

"I thought I told you before, I don't need to waste my time on stupid dancing." Suiseiseki nagged her way above him "Sure and the next time you show Lizzy off, you'll look like a penguin wiggling from the coldness of the snow.~" "Suiseiseki, come on." Ciel eyed Hinaichigo when she mumbled "Sorry Ciel.....she broke me....." "By making them laugh. Hmph. Yes, I suppose it is silly isn't it?"
