Ch213 (p2), Recap, West Pier, and Colin Greville

We get a recap about what little is known about this resort hotel, now revealed to be called Nectar Springs.

Reasonably priced but service is so good that people decide to extend their stays or even move in. (Are they seen after that?) As I said before, in a spoiler post, the resort hotel is visually based off The Grand Brighton -- originally built in 1864 -- a highly expensive resort hotel in Brighton, where service is said to be "unparalleled".

Then a recap about Undertaker's reanimation of real Ciel and the other lords of the stars... or at least the fact they require a lot of blood. Also a reminder that their own purpose at the hotel is to discover whether it's a blood collection center, then destroy it, if it is.

Sebastian points out West Pier and explains some about the activities there. Apparently, you only see the sea from there during the winter. Is this a high tides thing? I'll have to look into this.

Then the demon goes on about how humans have such peculiar habits, like talking about nothing and putting themselves in situations that increase the likelihood of getting ill.

Our earl says that if they can see the pier, the resort hotel must be nearby.

It's time to talk about their aliases, and Sebastian explains his young master is Colin Greville, the 3rd son of Earl Warwick. Sebastian is to be his valet, James Blackwood.

Our earl gives Sebastian a mild compliment, since it would make sense for a sick child in a landlocked earldom to seek recuperation in a place like Brighton, by the seaside. Warwickshire is just about smack dab in the middle of England, sort of hugging the southeast outskirts of Birmingham. Unless our earl can pull off a more northern accent, he should pretend he's from southern Warwickshire... though I doubt Yana-san will bother with that detail.

😆 Not like it'll matter much anyway....

The West Pier by Tori Wyatt

This beautiful and run down old girl has been my fascination all my adult life and while I’ve written short stories featuring it this is the first real artwork that I’ve done with it as the focus. (I don’t count my beach hut gallery as a pier picture!)

This is one of those rare moments where what I saw in my head matches what I actually created. Please forgive me for not depicting the pebbles and making it look like sand – I didn’t want the piece too cluttered.
