Honestly, the skate and surf talk was undeniably interesting. And while he would've normally been happy to just keep going along; curiosity was really starting to get the better of him.

With all the weird stuff going on in town, the idea that everyone he ran into might have a clue to the big picture of what was going on was even stranger.

"Eh, you're right. That's a pretty lame-ass assignment." Ciel remarks with a dismissive shrug, "Who've you got over for your science? I'm wondering if it's the same jack-ass that was there just before I graduated... jerk nearly flunked and that woulda kept me back for an extra term."
