Hey there. This will eventually turn into a series of unrelated one shots mostly poking fun at everyone's demonic butler because incidentally he is one of our least favorite characters. This is a joint project between Lexi and me, so that means twice as much funny.
This one shot is about how we think the trip to Trancy Manor in the first episode of the second series transpired. We actually haven't seen the second series; however, we watched the first half of the first episode. When Alois first pointed out Sebastian's trunk, we turned to each other and jokingly said, "Ciel's probably inside!" We were delighted to find out we were right. After that, we thought about what the trip there would've been like, featuring derpy Bassy of course. With that out of the way, we proudly present our version of how Ciel and Sebastian got to Trancy Manor.
DISCLAIMER: Obviously, we don't own Black Butler. If we did, Sebby would be ten times more awesome, Ciel would act like a kid, Alois wouldn't have such a graphic childhood, and there would be a lot more Grell.
NOTE: All dialogue in this one shot should be read in an English accent for full enjoyment. Have fun!
Once upon a time, a man dressed in a mysterious yet flamboyant coat boarded a train with an unusual piece of luggage. Now why is there a train in Victorian England? Well dear reader, this is the universe of Black Butler, what are you doing bringing historical accuracy into this? Shame on you! Anyway, said piece of luggage was a large trunk. Now the trunk itself wasn't strange, but the odd, strangled sounds that occasionally sounded from it were enough to turn heads.
The man holding the suitcase had tried unsuccessfully to quell these noises by thumping his fist against the exterior of the bag, and even resorting to an occasional kick, but if anything, he only managed to make the racket louder. He got so agitated that he slammed the trunk against the wall multiple times. After that, the trunk remained silent, minus the occasional muffled groan of pain. This appeared to mildly concern the man, who looked back and forth several times before ultimately deciding to take a peek inside.
Undoing the buckles which held the trunk firmly shut, the man tilted his bag just enough have a clear view inside. "Are you all right in there?" he whispered into the small opening.
"Sebastian…I…can't…breathe!" a strangled voice whispered from, apparently, within the trunk.
The man, Sebastian, outright ignored the statement, asking instead, "Would you like a snack?"
In response, the voice from inside began to choke. Sebastian took this as a no and proceeded to shut the trunk. When he raised his head, he was met with several horrified stares from his fellow passengers. He grinned in what was supposed to be a charming way but ended up coming across as creepy.
"I assure you, there is nothing to see here. I'm an idiot. Now, how about a dirty limerick to pass the time(1)?"
The "I'm an idiot" and "dirty limerick" thing is a reference to the Black Butler II Outtakes. Now go watch it! That's an order!
