Session Start: Sun Jun 14 00:00:01 2009 Session Ident: #MaidRPG [21:00:40] [WARNING! INCOMING GAME!] [21:00:52] [WARNING! INCOMING GAME!] [21:03:24] [In the year Grune 205, young cadets train themselves at the Galdrian Academy for the Mystic Arts. Or GAMA for short. The country of Almestrad holds recruitment sessions every year in order to accept the best candidates, and it is a prestigious school.] [21:05:14] [Two young such cadets live in a small mansion deep in the east woods. The Eringlade family has passed down the magical tradition for decades. But it seems recently they were short on hired help, so they've hired you three in order to take care of the mansion while they are away. After saying their greetings and giving brief instructions, they make on their way for a trip and will be gone for several months.] [21:06:45] [Lined with woodland, the outer grounds which you find yourself in has a well-kept yard and garden with an abundance of shrubbery, a gazebo near the east wing, and a small pond in the back. All lined within brick walls. The summer sun peeks through the trees and shines down brightly (and warmly) on the grounds. The mansion itself, though they stated it was small, looks as if it has two stories and at least two wings.] [21:07:11] [West and East. The Eringlades told you the doors would be open for your arrival, but to kindly lock them once you make your way inside.] [21:07:15] [Session Start!] 06[21:17:27] * Lily is a young girl in a dark gray uniform. Her eyes are red, and her hair is long and purple. She wears a maid uniform, and sticking out the back are a pair of black bat's wings. She has a pointy little tail, too 06[21:20:44] * Talia looks around the courtyard. "...it's been a while." She is a frail-looking young woman whose bubblegum pink hair is done in many, many tiny, chin-length braids. Her maid uniform is a dark teal, and her eyes, darting about, are dark purple. Her skin would be bronze if not for her wan demeaner, which turns it more to olive, and she leans heavily on an ornate halberd with a fanciful blade in the shape of a phoenix beak. 06[21:22:10] * Lily appears to be some sort of devil. But on anyone who might know anything about these things, she's pretty obviously a succubus. [21:22:24] [Lily doesn't notice anything strange about the mansion, but Talia and Kiyone catch a hint of movement as they approach. One of the blinds shifts for a second and something scurries away. They're quick enough to notice that it looked like a small girl in a pink nightgown with pale skin and brown curly hair was staring at them a moment before they started approaching.] [21:23:23] [There's a bit of a cool breeze picking up now and it picks up the scent of the tree leaves and hibiscus flowers.] 06[21:24:31] * Talia cranes her neck to catch that, and leans back on her halberd/staff. "Well, it seems like we've been spotted!" 01[21:25:12] Huh? 06[21:25:15] * Kiyone is another young girl, of a somewhat slight and short build. She's wearing a navy maid uniform underneath a short, black cloak, and her long indigo hair is wildly kept. Her vermillion eyes glance around dispassionately. 06[21:25:54] * Kiyone has a short book held at her side by a short chain. "So this is where I end now." She walks into the courtyard. 06[21:26:18] * Talia waves at the mansion. "Someone was at the window just now. Probably one of our wards. Seems like a sweet girl!" She grins, dimples showing in both cheeks, and almost looks healthy for a split second there. 01[21:28:27] Oh, that's nice... 06[21:29:05] * Talia smiles sweetly at her two compatriots. "Well, shall we go in, then? Wouldn't want to keep young mistress waiting!" 01[21:30:21] Oh, certainly 06[21:30:29] * Talia starts heading in~ [21:32:52] Yes, let's. 06[21:32:59] * Kiyone walks in. [21:34:06] [The open foyer of the mansion has two curved stairwells leading up the stairs and marble flooring. The stairs are lined with expensive looking vases and cabinets. To the right looks like the kitchen and living room areas. To the left, the parlor, a bathroom, and some siderooms. Most of the bedrooms are probably upstairs.] 06[21:34:49] * Lily waslk into the room, her belongings in tow. 01[21:35:43] Hello? [21:36:02] [Soon after everyone walks in, the door slams closed. A young male voice echoes throughout the foyer, booming even more due to the size of the hall. "A-HA! Who dares intrude on the household of the great Eringlade family? We don't deal kindly with robbers you know, so you might as well give up now!" 01[21:36:35] Oh. We're not robbers. We're the new maids! I'm Lily. 06[21:36:48] * Talia peers around. "Young master Eringlade? Is that you? We're your maids, here to help you for a while!" [21:36:53] [The door slam is rather *loud* by the way.] [21:38:28] [There's a snort and out from the right upper hallway, a medium sized adolescent boy steps out. He appears to be about 13 and has brown (from those who saw the girl, lighter brown than her) hair cropped short and dressed in a fine black dress shirt and tan slacks. "Maids, huh? I didn't order any maids." [21:38:49] [The boy *eyes* the lot of you] 06[21:39:07] * Lily bows. "We were sent by your family, master." 06[21:39:13] * Lily looks back at the doors. Locked? 06[21:39:19] * Kiyone looks cooly at where the voice came from. 06[21:40:04] * Talia takes one of her hands from her staff to curtsey sweetly. "Talia Rennefehr, young master, at your service." [21:40:08] [The doors are, indeed, closed and locked now.] [21:40:49] [He crosses his arms in front of him, and he's clearly holding a wand in his right hand. He eyes Lily strongly and ignoring Talia's reply. "My parents hired a demon?"] [21:42:12] Good day, master Eringlade. 01[21:42:24] Noooo! No, master. They hired a demon summoner! 01[21:42:31] Who summoned me! [21:43:31] [He lets out a long sigh. "I don't know *what* my parents were thinking. I don't need any help. And a demon summoner at that." He then eyes the lot of you. "Maids huh?"] 06[21:43:48] * Talia nods brightly! 06[21:46:29] * Lily bows. "We can be of great assistance." 06[21:46:30] * Rowyn waves offhandedly. "Well, I suppose if you're here, there is not much I can do. My parents won't be back in a while." He then turns to him. "I'm sure you've heard of me, but just in case it hasn't spread to commoners, you're in the presence of the *great* Farion Eringlade. I'll be sure to look in on you taking care of the place. Because it's *going* to get back to my parents, you know." [21:46:36] (The boy does that) [21:47:34] ["There's some weeding that needs to be done in the garden and some laundry that needs to be taken care of. Other than that, I'd appreciate it if you'd stay out of my way."] [21:48:11] [He goes back down the hallway. For now.] 06[21:48:22] * Talia curtseys again. Despite her pallor and obvious frailty, she's also rather well-proportioned, which puts her balance in danger with each curtsey. "As you say, young master. Which bedrooms are we to use, if I may ask? We just want to put away our things so they won't be in the way, and we'll get right to work!" [21:48:33] Very well, if he wishes to be left alone, I shall not argue. [21:48:46] [He calls back. "The servant's quarters are downstairs on your left. You may put your stuff there."] [21:48:58] [A door closes upstairs. Wham!] [21:49:56] [Incidently, another one of your tasks was to make certain that school work was done and that everyone gets off to school properly. But today is a day off.] 01[21:49:59] I suppose we should go look at our new homes. [21:50:11] Indeed! 06[21:50:44] * Lily steps lightly over to the servant's quarters. 06[21:50:58] * Talia sets off! Not at the skipping pace one would expect, given her attitude, but not super slow either. [21:52:21] [Before the servants quarters is the parlor. It's a fine room with a large fireplace, portraits of the family, candles, and a grand piano off in the corner. Light pours in through the two windows at each corner. On the other side is a hallway, presumeably towards the servants quarters and bathroom.] 06[21:52:48] * Lily takes in the sights, looking for places she'll need to know [21:52:55] [There's a large oval rug with an intricate red and blue pattern near the fireplace. The chairs look very comfortable.] 06[21:53:26] * Talia heads for the hallway, with little but a small, seemingly pleasantly nostalgic glance around the room. 06[21:53:30] * Kiyone walks calmly to the servant's quarters. [21:54:04] [Once everyone gets to the servant's quarters, they are a little sparser, but nicely kept. There's 5 of them available, though most have the same furnishings. Candle, magic torch on the wall for light, a bookshelf and dresser and a large soft bed.] 06[21:54:39] * Lily sets down her bags and does some light unpacking. "Garden and the laundry, yeah?" 06[21:55:07] * Talia looks a little disappointed that there are enough rooms for everyone to sleep separately. "Yes! Should we work together on everything, or split up our tasks?" 06[21:55:29] * Talia does, however, pick the room closest to the door to unload her small bag in. 01[21:55:58] If we work together we'll finish them in no time. [21:55:59] [Most of the bookshelves are empty, but there are some books on magic, history, and general alchemistry and potion mixing. Also one on herbology in a seperate room. 06[21:56:53] * Talia grins a big grin. "Sounds great! So...perhaps the laundry first, that way we won't get dirt on the clean clothes?" 01[21:57:17] Good thinking. Let's go! 01[21:57:22] Everyone ready? 06[21:58:00] * Talia nods and looks over at Kiyone. [21:58:09] [For those who remember, there's a door to the back patio back in the foyer, unless they wish to go out the front door and walk around the mansion.] 06[22:00:13] * Lily heads through the door to the back patio when everyone is ready! 06[22:01:52] * Kiyone motions and steadily walks out. 06[22:02:08] * Talia walks out with everyone else. [22:02:29] [Lily heads through the door to the back patio! Unfortunately she doesn't stumble upon the laundry by chance. Boo.] [22:02:59] [The pond is out back there and they can see a few corners of the garden that need weeding.] 06[22:03:44] * Lily looks at the garden. "So where's the laundry?" [22:04:26] ...maybe if...we look inside? Near the kitchen or something? 01[22:04:43] Umm... might be worth a shot. 06[22:06:07] * Lily ventures towards the mansion... 06[22:06:16] * Lily wiggles her tail 06[22:06:17] * Talia heads back in. [22:06:50] [The breeze goes away and the atmosphere suddenly seems to be getting rather warm. It's not so bad now, but it feels like it's heating up. It probably wouldn't be a good idea to spend too long out in a heat like this.] 06[22:07:18] * Lily heads for shelter. @_@ [22:09:31] [You head inside and head for the kitchen! It looks rather immaculate, with a large refridgerator and several cabinets of utensils. In one of the doorways leading to the living area is a small hand attached to the little girl in the pink nightgown. She appears to be peeking into the room cautiously as you enter.] 06[22:09:59] * Lily waves. "Uh... hello." 06[22:10:10] * Talia bends down and waves to the little girl, then curtseys properly, again leaning heavily on the staff. "Hello, young mistress! We're your new maids!" [22:10:38] [She shies away a bit when Lily speeks and hides more away from the doorframe! But she doesn't totally leave. "Um...hello."] 06[22:10:58] * Kiyone is simply walking behind the others, looking dispassionately as she calmly handles all the crap that's going on. 01[22:11:53] Hi there. I'm Lily [22:12:07] [The girl looks over all of them, then looks at Talia. She then looks at her chest and backs away a bit more, looking uncomfortable.] [22:12:17] Hello. 06[22:12:26] * Talia smiles at the girl. "And my name is Talia Rennefehr." [22:13:29] ["I'm...Tabitha." She replies nervously to Talia. "Tabitha Eringlade." She shies away, then looks at Lily and Kiyone. "It's...a pleasure to meet you all. I-I heard my brother upstairs..."] 06[22:13:42] * Lily nods. 01[22:13:54] Can you tell us wehre the laundry is? We were on our way to deal with it [22:14:42] [She looks at Lily. "Laundry?" She then perks up a bit. "Ah. Yes. I believe it was hung out to dry on the outside of the west wing."] [22:15:03] I am Kiyone Tsuyako. [22:15:17] He does not seem to apprecaite our presence. 06[22:15:31] * Lily nods. "Thanks." 01[22:15:46] Is there anything else we can try to help out with, aside from the laundry and garden? [22:15:50] [She nods slightly. "K-Kiyone." She then frowns. "My brother is like that. H-he can really be a good person though. Sometimes."] [22:18:17] [Tabitha looks at Lily strangely. "Help? Um...I don't really know. I don't recall what it's like to have a maid around. A-although...I believe I might need some help with my magic practice. I'm not very good yet, you see..."] [22:18:24] [She looks down a little at that.] 01[22:18:58] I know a little magic. I could try and help you out with that. [22:19:38] Do you require assistance in casting magic? I am knowledgable in such ways. [22:20:04] [She looks at Lily for a second. "Y-you will? But you're a--" She trails off and then looks at Kiyone. "Yes. Please. Um, if you're not too busy..."] 06[22:20:08] * Kiyone takes her book out and flips through the pages. "What type of magic do you cast?" 01[22:20:35] Uh... western style. [22:20:50] [Tabitha frowns slightly. "Um...I don't know..." She pulls out her wand cautiously.] 06[22:20:53] * Talia tilts her head and blinks. "Well, I'm not really very good at magic...so I suppose I'll head off and work on the laundry for now." She smiles again. "But it was good to meet you, young mistress! Good luck!" [22:21:18] [She then looks up. "Potions! I can try to mix potions..."] 06[22:21:33] * Talia curtseys again, then, barring any objections from Tabitha, heads for the west wing to take care of laundry. [22:22:47] [Tabitha doesn't object. Talia makes her way to the West Wing.] [22:23:03] [And she needs a Skill roll!] [22:23:22] I specialize in the summoning of deamons and other underworld creatures. I have mixed potions before. 01[22:24:13] She's great at summoning. 01[22:24:17] Summons great stuff. 06[22:24:50] * Kiyone reaches beneath her skirt and draws an ornamented ritual dagger, clearly designed to draw blood and channel it. "Where do you require the mixing of potions, young mistress?" 06[22:25:09] * Kiyone is, actually, probably younger than Tabitha. [22:25:34] [Tabitha looks to be an 11 year old girl, so if Kiyone is younger than that, then she is. And also that's scary.] 06[22:26:01] * Kiyone is 14, so she is in fact older than the mistress. Hah. [22:26:40] [Tabitha looks a bit freaked at the pulling of the dagger and shies away back into the living room.] 06[22:26:56] * Lily hangs out with Kiyone. SHe's about 14. Or the devilish equivalent. [22:27:22] [Meanwhile, Talia goes to the west wing and finds...there's an awful lot of laundry hanging up there. This might take a bit.] 06[22:28:10] * Talia pauses a bit, wipes her brow in advance, and starts folding all of that laundry. [22:29:21] ["I-I don't know. It's..." She looks a bit panicked.] 01[22:29:52] Kiyone, I think she's a little scared. [22:30:04] Oh. [22:30:05] [Talia makes good time! The laundry's all folded and ready to take in before the heat gets to her.] 06[22:30:09] * Kiyone sheathes her dagger. [22:30:35] [Tabitha calms down, hand on her chest. "Th-there's a ritual room out back."] 06[22:31:41] * Talia sighs gratefully and starts taking it in, mopping her brow and wiping off her hand so as not to get sweat on the clothing. 01[22:34:16] We're going to go practice there? [22:34:56] [Talia starts heading that way. To a room with a lot of chemicals and worts and charms and such. It's lit by candles and has skulls lining the corridors. It's, incidently, fairly close to the kitchen oddly enough.] [22:35:12] [There's some braizers going. It appears well supplied.] [22:35:23] (Err, Tabitha, not Talia) [22:35:45] I am sorry for distressing you, mistress. 06[22:35:59] * Lily looks around. [22:36:05] ["I-It's okay. I'm just...not very used to other people being in the home."] [22:37:26] [Tabitha starts going to her project which appears to be two beakers bubbling slightly. She tries pouring one into the other carefully. It doesn't look too hot but she slips and one of the beakers falls from her grasp towards the floor.] 06[22:38:05] * Lily tries to catch it! [22:38:35] [Talia happens to bring the laundry in. To find Farion waiting for her, arms crossed. "Hmmph. It appears you're useful after all."] 06[22:39:21] * Kiyone bows. "I shall attempt to stay out of your sight, then." 06[22:39:22] * Talia smiles at him again and bobs nicely, as she can't curtsey properly with two hands full. "Where would you like these, young master?" [22:40:25] [Tabitha winces as the vial falls. Lily bravely tries to catch it but is a moment too late. The vial bubbles and sizzles on the floor. And on Lily's arm too. It..smells awful and feels pretty painful. And leaves a nasty red welt.] [22:41:55] [She then jumps up. "O-oh no. Are-are you okay?" She looks over Lily's arm. "I-I'm sorry. Here...let me find..." She goes to the shelves and starts looking for things. Unfortunately, knocking more bottles over in the process.] [22:42:43] [Farion looks at Lily. "In our dresser drawers. That would be the most appropriate for clothes, would it not? Where are the other useless maids?"] 01[22:42:45] Aaaaaaaaaah D: [22:42:52] (s/Lily/Talia) [22:42:59] (Dual-playing masters is hard!0 [22:43:00] ) 06[22:43:51] * Talia bobs again. "Of course, young master, but I wasn't sure which rooms were yours and which are the young mistress'. The other maids are with her right now, helping her with some magic work." [22:44:22] [The parents would probably not be too pleased to find all of the ingredients smashed like that.] 01[22:45:19] Ow ow ow ow 06[22:45:25] * Lily tries to get it. @_@ [22:45:34] [Farion sighs, as if annoyed. "Top floor, east wing. First two doors on your left. It should be easy enough to find for someone like you."] 06[22:45:49] * Kiyone holds Tabitha and assists to help her in, well, whatever it is she's trying to do. o.o; [22:46:32] [Tabitha's currently trying to catch bottles before they fall!] 06[22:46:44] * Talia bobs again and blushes attractively. "Thank you, young master." And she heads off! [22:47:51] [Lily....doesn't seem to catch any at all. She seems to dive too low and misses the bottles. Which is okay. Because Kiyone swiftly manages to stop all the bottles from hitting the ground. And it looks effortless the way she does it too. How's that for cool?] [22:48:16] [Lily barely saw her *move* too.] 01[22:48:48] Ow...ow... oh, wow. You're good at this 06[22:50:10] * Lily tries to get up. Her arm sucks. [22:50:37] [Farion walks in just in time to see Kiyone with all the ingredients and ungeants in her hands. He turns to Tabitha. "What *are* you doing?"] 06[22:52:03] * Talia gets everything put away as best she can, barring further obstacles, then heads down to check on the other two. 06[22:56:29] * Kiyone goes about putting the potions away. 06[22:56:48] * Lily rubs her arm. :( [22:57:29] [Tabitha watches Kiyone and seems slightly mesmerized by her for a moment. It takes a bit for her to snap out of it and look at her brother. "I...I-I..." Farion looks at the other two maids. "And you two. I thought I told you the garden needed weeding. I didn't even see you help with the laundry."] 01[22:58:17] That's being handled. [22:58:28] ["By whom?"] 01[22:58:41] Um... Talia. [22:59:51] I shall be in the garden then. Excuse me, master. 06[23:00:07] * Kiyone bows and walks out torwards the garden after she's finished putting the bottles up. [23:00:12] [Farion rubs his head slightly. "Useless maids...I..." Tabitha chimes in. "Oh no! Brother, they're being very helpful. Look! I made a potion for..." She looks over and notices again her handy work with one steady vial and one broken vial. And Talia enters at that point!] 06[23:00:13] * Lily heads off to the garden. [23:00:48] [Both of them head out to the garden! Geez, it's hot out here. That pool looks very refreshing.] 06[23:01:06] * Talia curtseys, looks around for the other maids, and possibly sees Lily leaving. "Oh, are they already headed to the garden? I'll join them there." She curtseys again, pulls herself up stiffly on the halberd-staff, and heads after them. [23:01:49] [Farion shakes his head. "You've done enough for today. If you'd like, you can start on lunch. But...well, I suppose since you were out there all by yourself, you deserve a break."] [23:02:49] [Farion adds, "Or perhaps you can help my...sister, clean up this mess." Tabitha winces slightly at that and looks crestfallen.] 06[23:03:22] * Talia pauses. "Oh!" She looks back at Farion and Tabitha. "...well, I suppose it's a good idea to help clean up before stains start to settle in." [23:03:41] [The potion doesn't look very stainy. It looks very eat into the stoneworky.] [23:04:04] (Stains, acid, close enough) 06[23:04:31] * Talia looks around discreetly for cleaning materials of the magical kind. [23:04:58] [There appears to be a magic broom in the corner! How convenient!] 06[23:05:58] * Talia switches the halberd/staff for the broom then, and starts a-cleanin'. "Be careful not to step on any of the glass, young mistress, we wouldn't want you to get hurt, now would we?" Dimples, eyelash flutters. 06[23:07:27] * Lily gets to work trying to de-weed the garden [23:08:57] [Tabitha nods and kneels after Farion goes away. She mutters. "I'm so so sorry."] 06[23:08:58] * Lily wipes her forehead from the heat. X_x 06[23:09:44] * Talia blinkblinks at Tabitha. "Oh, don't apologize, young mistress! I'm sure it wasn't easy!" She strokes Tabitha's hair comfortingly. [23:09:55] [Kiyone manages to weed the garden and not get too dirty at all. And manages to look and *keep* cool while doing it. How cool is that? Lily's...not so lucky and gets a bit of dirt on her uniform. This is also hard work, so she feels a bit exhausted from the end of it.] 01[23:10:19] I don't feel so great... 06[23:10:30] * Talia also continues working, though. [23:10:40] [Tabitha looks at Talia a bit sheepishly and seems comforted for a moment. She then notices Talia's chest again. Then she looks down at her own lack of one. She seems discouraged again.] [23:11:05] Then go inside. 01[23:11:18] Right... 06[23:11:21] * Lily moves into the house. 06[23:11:26] * Talia looks up as she sweeps and such. "Is there something else wrong?" [23:11:52] [Tabitha looks Talia in the eyes. And tries to keep her focus there. "Y-yes. It's nothing. Nothing really. Th-thank you."] 06[23:12:51] * Lily tries to clean off her uniform quickly in the pool water. [23:13:39] ...well, if you're sure, then. 06[23:13:55] * Talia strokes Tabitha's hair again and goes back to what she was doing. [23:14:07] [Tabitha looks down again.] 06[23:14:39] * Lily heads back into the house. X_x [23:15:25] [Lily's uniform is clean again. It doesn't look *perfect* but it's a serviceable job to make her look like a proper maid again.] [23:18:23] [And so ends the first half of the day at the Eringlade estate. Will we resume later for the rest of the day? Or start another day next bright and early? Only time will tell.] 06[23:18:26] * Talia finishes cleaning up and stops in the kitchen to get a cool refreshing drink before starting on lunch. [23:18:30] (or that!) [23:18:33] [Session End.] Session Close: Mon Jun 15 00:00:00 2009
