I've long since forgotten … how to smile … joyfully... - Ciel Phantomhive

Skilled fingers worked diligently upon the body that laid before him. Gripping the corpses head he gently turned it slightly to the left causing the crucial vein artery to pop out slightly from behind the chalk colored skin. The shinigami traced the carotid artery and vein with his index finger, quickly he reached over grabbing the small surgical scalpel. Smiling his normal maniacal smile, he placed the compact blade against the artery. Just as he was about to make an incision into the women's silken skin he heard the chimes of the bell ring from the front of parlor signaling someone had entered.

Slowly his normal smile turned into a scowl. Letting the scalpel fall onto the metallic table, he turned sharply causing his bangs to fall back into place in front of his eyes. Putting on his usual top hat, Undertaker rushed towards the front of his shop. Unlike the usual sounds of sniffling or sobbing he heard from quest, it was silent. Slowing his pace he narrowed his vibrant green eyes. "How odd," he thought to himself just as he rounded the corner leading to the front.

"Welcome to my humble parlor, are you here for one of my-" Undertaker cut himself short as he saw a simple noble boy and his butler standing the midst of his shop. A look of confusion crossed his face for a short second before he regained he usually composure."Well hello~" the shinigami drawled out to the small boy. Silently he watched amused as the boys head snapped in his direction, though the butler seemed unfazed and continued looking around. "Are you Undertaker?" The black haired boy snapped, Undertaker supposed it was supposed to be a question, though it sounded like more of a demand.

"Exactly~" the chalk haired man replied with slight nod of his head, silently he watched the butler hand the small boy documents. With a solemn expression the kid held up the documents, "I am Ciel Phantomhive, I was sent by the queen to investigate the recent deaths plaguing the city. I would like information regarding the bodies and causes of death."
