11th action
Sep. 9th, 2011 01:34 am[1127 Taylor Road. Who knows why you're over here but there's a sight to see on the front porch. A royal rat and a girl with horse hooves for arms and feet. They're both chatting it up and surrounded with carrots and cheese thrown all over. It's clearly break time for Merem and Ciel's 'partners' and when the cats are away, the mice will play....]
"Aaaah, finally!! School is starting this week, right? So Master will be busy about that. She won't hit me and order me around as much anymore! The last month was particularly bad..."
"...last three months. They were all the same and none were fun in the slightest."
"That's easier for you to say!. Your Master always acts the same way. Mine changes her mind all the time! She was being weird when I first got here, and only went back to how she should be the when people got stuff back last month. That made her more violent all over again, too! [whiiine, sob.] Do we have to be here for much longer..."
"At least you get to hide if you want. I have to always be around scary people who always look like they want to kill me. I have no weapons to defend myself with."
".................
Would he let you die?"
"I can't die but it is still painful..."
"Oh yes, there is no death here... Gaah, I really don't like this place. It's one of the reasons why Master is rarely in a good mood. But you can't tell me something is painful! I'm the one she takes it out on all the time!! We should start a revolt!"
"More power to the small ones, yes!"
[WAVES CARROT ENERGETICALLY no Nanako that's not a pointer... also don't... talk when you eat...] "Alright, it's decided! Our Masters are going overboard, so we have to retaliate!
But what should we do...?"
"Declare war and post a 95 These on the Church door."
"Ooh, that coul-
W-wait! Does that mean, we have to fight them??"
"We could recruit people.....to fight for us."
"But, but... Most people can't even see me! They're usually fooled by Master's smile, too. Besides, will we really find people strong enough? If they're really strong, I'll probably have to fight them, too..."
"We can just ask....."
[Join the cause that is destined to flop. Or just marvel at the odd looking creatures having a full on conversation with each other. The two will be tagging in separate threads.]

It's a shame winter doesn't last longer. I would like to see more snow, don't you think, mom?
[Merem and Ciel are taking a walk in the park, enjoying the warm weather like a normal family. Keywords there on normal. Unfortunately, there's an interloper here in the form of Arcueid, the Princess of the True Ancestors.]
IDIOT NUN!!
( Cut for gore and drone violence )
Arcueid and Merem will be replying separately.]

[Merem really doesn't like issuing threats because it's simply beyond his normal personality. But he's protective of Ciel's current mind set. The Ciel he knew would not be Ciel if some fool came around and tried to normalize her. And Merem is completely dead set on keeping Ciel the way he wants her.
Being serious wasn't something he liked to indulge in so he went outside and spent some time with the only thing he did sincerely like. Animals.
He's chuckling and laughing at some birds and they actually respond to him with tweets every time he questions them.]
That so? You don't expect she'll end up doing that again, do you?
...
No, no, I'm just curious. She's usually fairly out there but you never know. When do you expect something like that to happen again?
...
We'll have to see but I doubt it'll be that soon. She has a better head on her shoulders than that.

Miss Yuki, will you go to the prom with me? I think it'll be a rather interesting experience but that might just be my opinion. [Oh whoops, was that for everyone to hear. Merem doesn't care and he doubts Yuki cares either.]
As for the rest of you, I really hope to see you there. I'm pretty sure Ciel will be playing as a chaperone so if you're worried about trouble, you're in good hands. She's much like a dog, persistent and stubborn. I wonder if someone would actually take a dance with her though.
-right! For all you single men out there, I live with a lovely young lady who could use an escort. Really, she's all you could ask for in a girl and if you expect more, well...I suppose you can stay single. Your choice, after all. Her name is Sakura. Just let me know if you're interested.
[ooc; Sakura has a date but that doesn't mean Merem won't troll it.]

7th - reintro
Feb. 6th, 2011 12:34 am[Outside of 1127 Taylor, a young boy of unknown origins comes stumbling out of the house, slightly confused. The only thing separating him from what he would have been as a drone is the white priest robe he decided to put on this morning.
Why is he confused?
He's holding a pair of purple panties in his hand, wondering how they ended up in his room. He stretches them slightly in wonderment.]
This must belong to...someone because I certainly am not in want to wear such things. Not to mention this is too girly for Ciel.
Hm.

( Phone//Directed at vampires//open to everyone )
[Merem is outside of his house, pouncing on the snow that drifts by. Really, it's like he's a child enjoying the fun of the new winter weather. Still, he's bundled up in a rather large, white and golden coat. You can thank Ciel for that. And if your name is Ciel, Vietnam, or Taiwan, he'll probably keep playing in the snow if you pass by. If you're not, he'll stop and do something else a bit more mature. It's kinda hard to look WISE AND COOL when you're having fun.]

Oct. 18th, 2010 04:23 amReally, it's such a war out there between the foul Capitalist profiteers and the slave driving Communist hordes. But there's a secret to both sides of the story that neither side will reveal. Your freedoms in democracy are not so free after all and your freedoms in communism aren't quite realized either. Let me give you a lesson you will never learn here in Mayfield schools.
Karl Marx came up with a guideline that would mark the steps from a primitive society to a communist one. They are as follows.
1. Primitive Communism. Nearly everyone knows of this. It's when a primitive society of natives all work together to live. They are like this because they are forced to but nearly everyone is equal. You don't do your job and you will probably end up dead because the rest of the village will exclude you.
2. Slave Society. In this type of society, a few "rich" people will own slaves which will do their work for them. Unfortunately, the majority of the population will still be in grinding poverty but conditions will change soon.
3. Feudalism. Here, we start to see the rise of a new class of citizens. They prefer to go by the term "Capitalist". In a feudalistic society, these will mostly be merchants who take great risks to make great profits. Sooner or later, these merchants will begin to sway many to their side and we will see a new style of government.
4. Capitalism. Oh, this is what Mayfield is at right now. Supposedly everyone is free and able to work hard to make their own profits. The deep dark secrets? With Capitalism, we generally see a democratic form of government, where each person has a say in what happens. All too commonly though, the minorities in beliefs tend to be oppressed by the majority but very few complain because they are still given a sense of freedom.
5. Socialism. This is the style of government that is most commonly confused with Communism. All of you countries who claim to have reached Communism are lying to yourselves and are stuck in a Socialist Dictatorship. The point of this step is to organize the country and prepare the entire world for true communism. In this Socialist step, the government takes full control over the lives of the people and makes decisions for "the greater good". Supposedly, once preparations are complete, the leader swill step down and we will see-
6. Communism. A fabulous utopia where people work for the greater good of each other, no one owns anything, and there is no government. If you have even a bit of intelligence, you can see where this falls apart. Mainly the part where human nature makes people greedy and not willing to do hard work for the sake of another. Oh, and the part where if even one person in the world has more power than another, the entire system will fall apart.
So, take your choice, citizens of Mayfield. In the end, all systems are flawed but maybe for the sake of your own safety, it might be best to side with capitalists while you are in Mayfield.

[It's 1 AM. DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR CHILDREN ARE?
Someone (and by someone, I mean Merem) hasn't partaken in any blood like he requires. Killing is oh so boring and he'd rather wait until he was on the edge of starvation.
But, then again, if he didn't, he'd dry up and wither away into a fine powder and that wasn't the kind of fate he was looking for.
So after partaking in drinking the blood of a random drone, he rips off its head just to assure it won't become a ghoul or possibly another vampire. You can never be too sure about these things and if ghouls started running around, he'd be the only target for Arcueid and Ciel.
The next problem was disposal.
You can easily find Merem stuffing a body larger than himself in a trashcan and then tossing the head in too. Do you know that drone? MAYBE. It sure would be unfortunate if you did. Merem will give it a prayer if you ask nicely.]
I wish there was a way to make this process less....dirty. Too bad God doesn't grant wishes to heretics, hah.

3rd // Locked to Altrouge
Sep. 4th, 2010 04:15 am[Merem's eyes shot open and it was filled with the steering wheel. God he was so small. His feet didn't even reach the pedals properly.
Rather than question his situation, he tried the door but to no avail. But that spot of black he saw out of the corner of his eye was not very comforting to him.
Oh god. It was Altrouge. Hopefully, she'd stay asleep.]

( Private to Taiwan )
( Private to Altrouge )
[Merem is sitting on his front porch, missing a left arm but sharing a seat with a pleasant looking priest.]
I must admit, this is a harrowing situation you've gotten yourself in, Merem.
Don't speak as if you're alone. You and me, we in this together now. What do you think you're going to do?
As long as-
Yes, I'm well aware of that line. I suppose it can't be helped. While we're here, we'll probably have to play second fiddle to humans. Let them take whatever actions they wish. I refuse to lift a finger to help unless asked though. No, I won't even offer it.
I wonder what Ciel would think of that statement? Regardless, I wish you would be more pro-active.
I could think of a few things and none of them good. I've made my decision though. Things will remain the same as it was back home.
[Feel free to bother or call.]

OOC//Permissions
Aug. 14th, 2010 02:39 pmWith all these regains comes a permission post of sorts.
Merem regained his left arm, the King of Rats. While normally appearing like a white rat, he has the ability to take on any form as long as it's humanoid in size and shape. Other animals or crazy looking things are well out of his boundaries.
The disguise isn't infallible, of course. If your character is a high ranking member of the Church (for the sake of RP since Christianity is the only real religion in Type-Moon) or some other religious organization, sheer dedication to faith will force the Rat King to reveal his true form under a concentrated glare. Also, if your character is just ridiculously dangerous, he'll drop it out of fear because, well, he is a rat after all. And rats are pretty good at picking out who can beat the fudge out of them.
SO THE PERMISSIONS PART
Merem likes to troll. It gives him entertainment value, which is what all Type-Moon vampires live for. Having people see their friends doing something they normally wouldn't do brings joyful guffaws to the yard upon reactions. SO
A. Can the Rat King use your character's looks and clothing as a disguise?
B. Given the above criteria, can your character see his true form?

I have to offer my congratulations to whomever is running this show. I know you're listening in so there's no reason to play shy. I'd love to ask you a simple question. Just one and I promise I'll let it be.
On the other hand, I'll have to ask someone more simpler to explain the situation to me. Just the bare basics, if you please. If you remove all the mystery from it, I doubt I'll have any fun. As a first guess, seeing that I'm speaking English now means I'm either in the United States or in England. The climate seems to only support these two countries so it can't be too much of a leap of faith.
Well, am I right?
