*Watches the disappearing figures of D, Pon and Chris*
Oh boy ... what a mess ... *Pours food away and replaces it with real, proper, edible food he draws and pulls out.
*notices stain on coat* ... Man, the food stained my pockets ... rats ... I have to wash this now ... *thinks, it's time for a wash anyway, haven't cleaned this lab coat in ages* ... oh well, what else do I have to wash?
*Walks towards the nearest dry cleaner's*
Watari's ability is useful at times
Ah, but behold: Mr. Lovelier-eyes-than-mine has gone to cry himself out to a corner. How moving...
I should go search for Mr. Detective before he gets here by accident and poisons himself to death by trying some of that a-nno-ying young shinigami's bakery. Such a junk-loving stomach he has got... Does not go fine with such a handsome face...
*grabs Pon and Chris and walks out of the room*
Let us all find your brother, Christopher, before you two keep speaking falsely about my EYES!!
D, bitchy like hell
Tsuzuki-san ...
Watari sucks at dealing with teary Tsuzuki-s
*runs away crying* YOU'RE ALL SO MEAN TO ME!!! WAAA~AH!!!
Tsuzuki not here anymore
Count, there, there ...
Tsuzuki-san, please stop crying. You know that would make Tatsumi-san really sad ...
Watari - poster boy for duhness or genkiness?
Mr. Watari, thank goodness you seem to be the one person with manners here apart from yours faithfully...
D doesn't like being harsh to his pets, but his eyes are SACRED stuff
Guys, guys ...
Watari is totally lost for words
Meeeeeeep! ;_;
Pon-chan, crying a river
WAAAAAAAA~AH!! No one likes my cooking!!!!!
Tsuzuki is crying and that is Not Good At All
I HEARD THAT!!!!!!!
D (no cookies for Pon-chan for the rest of her lifetime!!)
*whispering to Chris*
Count D-sama's acting like that because he's jealous! This pretty sir here has more lovely purple eyes than he! ^.^
Pon-chan, a mouth with a death wish
Uhm ... *tongue-tied*
Watari is bad at these things, comforting Tsuzuki is Tatsumi's job but meanie isn't around ...
*sniffles*
Tsuzuki crying is not a good idea ...
(Ouch! ;_;)
Chris is put off by D's discipline
*slaps Chris' hand away as the poor innocent boy was reaching out for a cookie*
What is it, Mr. Watari? Are you fearful for your bespectacled friend's destiny after he tastes one of these 'delicacies'? *feminine chuckle*
D knows how to break a heart
*each word from D hits Tsuzuki like a dagger*
Is my cooking .... really .... that bad ... ? *about to burst into tears*
Tsuzuki /really/ upset
*Hides cookies*
Oops, look's like I made a mistake ...
Count ... *sweatdrops*
Watari hides half the food
See sir, I take it those pretend to be English plum cookies? Well, the plum used for making them is too ripe and it got closer to rotten by the oven's heat, not too mention that judging by the smell you probably took salt for sugar when making the preparation.
Please spare Mr. Accountant a horrible death and do not give him any.
How evil can you get?
*turns to look* Tatsumi? Where? Is he hungry too? Come on, I made this party dinner all by myself for everyone!!
Tsuzuki likes to surprise people
Uhm ... okay ... just a bit ...
*Points in the northern direction* ... Say is that Tatsumi-san coming to get us?
*Grabs cookies and hides in lab coat pockets while Tsuzuki is distracted*
Watari can't bear to hurt his friend's feelings
'N-no way in hell', you say? D-d-demo .... *face falls* *turns desperately to Watari* Watari?
Self-confidence shattering like mirrors ...
Uhm, no thanks Tsuzuki-san ... I just ate.
*Telepathically, Count, let's eat Tet-chan's cooking instead*
Watari is not keen to die of food poisoning
Do excuse me if I sound mannersless or blunt, sir. But as Mr. Detective would say: "No way in hell'.
D knows a thing or two about fine bakery
*hurries back with a platter of cookies* Look, look what I made! Ahh, Watari, hello! You're just in time to eat!! *shines*
Tsuzuki the cook
Uhm, why don't I get us a little snack ...
*Trots to kitchen, he has heard stories of Tsuzuki's cooking*
Tet-chan can cook
Well, in that case I believe it will be okay. I certainly hope we can find Mr. Detective so he can help us handle this. I would certainly think it twice before feeding this child anything that might be cooking here, judging by the scent.
The Count is a bit embarassed at avoiding responsibility
It's not so bad Count, we have kids here too.
Hey Chris my man, do you like robots? Wanna see some?
Watari, cheerful as always
But Count, you didn't leave any food or money for Chris here, and I was worried about you ... so I brought him along, it's his brother who is lost here afterall.
Tet-chan panics slightly
Nihao there, Mr. Watari. This is Christopher Orcot, Mr. Detective's younger brother who is temporarily under my caring and who really should not be at such a place as this. *hugs Chris against his lap as he glares offendedly at Tet-chan*
Speaking of which... You have not seen Mr. Detective around, have you?
D has caught Watari's mental note about the food and is now apprehensive himself
(Count ...)
Chris is happy to see the Count
*Just then, Watari arrives ...*
Hiya Tsuzuki-san, hiya Count and Mister uhm ... Tet-chan, was it? And who is this cute little fellow here? *whispers telephatically to Chris, I won't eat that if I were you*
Watari the noisy, cometh
*comes walking down one of the corridors of Meifu, checking every door*
My, where has Mr. Detective gone to now? Why do I always need to go and look everywhere for him?? Not even the charming doctor Kazutaka seems to be around. Men, really... And what could that vile smell be...?
*suddenly spots Pon-chan and Chris besides a very familiar purple eyed shinigami*
God, what are you little ones doing here in the land of Death and Darkness? O_O;; This surely the last place for little children to be.
D is amazed to find Pon and Chris at his playground
(You can hear me mister? Most people other than the Count and the people living at the petshop can't ... well onnichan, he only hears me half the time.)
Chris kinda likes this purple eyed stranger. He is however apprehensive about the food.
The Count's that guy who dresses like a girl, right? The one who slapped me in the face and was with . . . with . . . *turns red as he remembers a certain sensei* Mustn't think on that!
*smiles at Chris and kneels down to see eye-to-eye* Hello, little one. Would you like something to eat?
Tsuzuki is great with kids as well as animals
*In the meanwhile, in the newly restored library ... ahem, newly restored we stress.*
Younger brother - Onnichan, you smell something?
Older brother - Yes, it smells awful. We really should get a new plumber for this place ... either that or ...
*Gushoshin in unison* - Tsuzuki-san is cooking again ...
Gushoshin are horrified
(Hi ...)
Chris is shy
Well this is pon-chan, she's a racoon and this is Chris, Leon's brother. We're looking for the Count.
Hello, Mister Purple Eyed Shinigami, you won't happened to have seen Count D would you
*looks up from where he has laid a lare trestle table with lovely-looking platters*
Ahh, someone's here! *blinks* Eh? What are you guys doing here??
Tsuzuki is surprised
About two hours later, Tets-chan, Pon-chan and Chris arrive at the Meifu, smelling disaster cooking in the air.
*still sulking over the 'no department party' thing* I know the Earl *twitch* is having the big party but STILL!! Hmpf!! So I'm going to be extra-nice and whip up a yummy scrumptious dinner for tonight to welcome everyone home!! *shines*
Off to the grocery store I go!!
The ever-over-enthusiastic cook ...
*Tet-chan returns to the petshop*
Hey, where's the Count? I should have never gone to the Meifu to see if I could eat anyone, now that the Count has discovered the place, all he wants is just to spend all his time there. But I still don't know how he found out I went there in the first place.
*Checks his stuff and on the others* What, he's gone again? Who's going to take care of business and feed the pets? *Sigh*
*Being rather fond of all the pets, Tet-chan prepares adequate rations to last them for a week.*
There, there ... it's got to last you for a while so don't eat it all up. I'll go look for the Count and try to get him back. Chris, you better come with me, with your no-good brother and the Count in the Meifu, you could starve to death and no one would know. Really, the Count is spending too much time there ... *eyes narrow* and I have only one word ... bishounen ...
Come along Chris, we've got to get the Count back. Don't pout Pon-chan, you can come too.
So Tet-chan, being a responsible member of the Petshop goes back to the Meifu with Chris and Pon-chan to find the Count
*Meanwhile, somewhere in the land of the living...*
*sigh* That surely felt good. A cup of fuming jasmine tea, one delicious slice of chocolate cream pie, a delightful hot bath and a refreshing change of clothes... Now I have fulfilled my duty and checked on all of you, my dears, I truly believe I must return to the Meifu to find Mr. Detective. He will surely be lost without me... I seem to be his guiding light.
a shiny happy D

But Count D-sama is going out too muuuu~uch! He no longer has time to play with us or sell us to nice people! And Tet-chan is also missing! *cute pout* When are we going to be a happy family again?
Pon-chan, playing the spoiled brat

(Count, if you see Oniichan please tell him to bring me something when he's back! I want a T-shirt that reads 'Been to Hell and Back'! That ugly Iron Maiden one he gave me for my birthday sucks and is three times larger than my size.)
Chris, aka. Leon Jr.

There, there. How long has it been since my last holiday? Two centuries or so? Even I like to take a holiday from time to time. Especially if such involves having all kinds of gorgeous males everyhwere you look. *cough* Q-chan can take care of you all while I am away, though I can't seem to find him anywhere.... Oh well. Be good pets and do not eat anyone alive while I am away, won't you?
*and with a swirl of silk skirts he's gone to the Land of the Dead again*
D, leaving responsibility behind once more
