Black Butler: Dangling From The Web

~Laughing Day~

They later took a carriage to the Undertakers.

When they finally they were there to find him in the middle of fitting, "oh customers!... Hello there Ciel.  Came for a fitting?"

Ciel sighs "no, I have another favor to ask of you..."

The undertaker puts his measuring tape down, "I need assistance.... won't you help me with the fitting?..." he holds his tape to Ciel....and pointed to the dead body on the table.

The boy frowns at the undertaker "Sebastian help him..."

"Yes my..." the undertaker laughs "I asked you. Not your butler... Unless you are afraid of a body..." he holds out his hand again, "can't you do anything without your butler?..." he laughs.

He growls and roughly shoves the cane in Sebastian's hands as he walked over to the undertaker and frowned at the dead body, looking away.

"It won't bite... see, he's dead!.." he pokes at the body, "now take the tape to his toes..." they start to measure, "what does lord Phantomhive want from me this time?"

"There is a case that's been said to have  healthy bodies dying from an illness they never had..."

"hmm...interesting case.  I see why you came to me, I had a few new customers...I am remembering something..." he motions Ciel to hold the dead bodies head as the undertaker measures its head "hold it still..."

He makes a face showing that he is uncomfortable with this, but keeps going on about the case "is there anything that shows those new bodies were really forced into a disease?"

Sebastian smiles, trying to hide himself from giggling.

"hmm...I remember...One of them had worms in his skull, but no marks on their body. This is one of them, they look normal but squeeze the skull, its mushy..."

Ciel became more uncomfortable close to throwing up.

"Don't worry, its just liquid.... There is something i'm remembering. If only I had a moment of true laughter" he gives his creepy, evil smile and looks at Ciel "Tell me something funny Ciel...."

He let go of the head and growled "Sebas--"

"Not Sebastian! I want YOU to tell me, Please make me laugh until death..."

He sighed and tried a few jokes but the undertaker still wasn't cracking. Ciel soon became annoyed and tried calling Sebastian again but the Undertaker only said the same thing each time...He sent Sebastian out and kept trying.

The last joke made him crack up with laughter, "That my boy.... Was the best one yet!!!" his laughter died down and went to grab a jar, they were filled with eyes. Another jar had eyes too but were different, he noticed something off. Ciel looks closer they eyes were grey, what was white is now grey.

Ciel let Sebastian back in, Sebastian looked at Ciel "so how did you crack him? What joke did you use?"

Ciel chuckled and smiled "A man walks past a tavern, and sees a sign in the window, as it read 'I'll give five thousand pounds if you can make my horse laugh' the man goes in and tells the bar keep 'I can make your horse laugh', the barkeep chuckles and says 'I don't know how you will do that, but if you can the money is yours'..."

Sebastian looks at him and raises a brow "master---"

Ciel glared at him to shut him up, then continued the joke, "'my horse is out back' the man leaves and the barkeep soon heard the horse burst into laughter ...the man later comes back and tells the barkeep 'i made him laugh give me the money'...the barkeep then asked 'how did you that?!!'...then the man told him 'mine is bigger than his'.."
