Start of #MaidRPG buffer: Sun Nov 02 21:25:06 2008 [19:34:26] [In the grim darkness of the far future, there is a rather large white limo. Like some kind of super limo. A Limobago, if you will. It's certainly very clean, very high class, wonderful white carpeting, and a holo-tennis court, but it has only one room, and you all have to live in it.] [19:34:30] * Amroth (Athaven@c-67-174-239-51.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #MaidRPG [19:34:32] [You are all maids in the employ of Master Ishida, a young woman in a red china-dress, which goes well with her indigo eyes and grey hair.] [19:34:55] * Amroth is now known as Athaven [19:40:20] [Session Start] [19:40:46] * Right now, Ishida is asleep. The clocks say it's morning. [19:42:10] * Jane was spending time with a small kitchen, chopping little animal bits to cook in what's probably not a very good soup, but neverless chopping things up. [19:44:12] * After she puts in some more work, the meal is done! It looks decent. Edible, even. Probably enough to eat for energy, and that's good enough for lots of people. [19:46:31] * Jane has a crazed look on her face while cooking, but quickly snaps out of it afterwards. "Oh dear. What would Ishida say if she saw me like that?" She muttered to herself, using the warmer to keep the breakfast warm. [19:46:32] * Darkheart is now known as Nine [19:47:28] * Nine has been generally busy with household chores, working with the practiced and efficient manner of a (relatively) well-oiled machine. A hot-looking one, but... [19:47:41] * The Master doesnt' look well this morning. She's still sleeping, but it looks like she's sick. [19:49:39] * Jane shakes her head and checks her temp with some high-tech machine. [19:50:02] * A little over a hundred... Master must be very sick. She mumbles in her sleep. [19:50:17] * Nine sets her broom away (in the same place, always the same place) and goes to check on the Master. For more reasons than one, of course. "The master looks ill. Shall we summon a doctor?" [19:51:22] "uhm, right. That's a good idea. Go do that." [19:54:01] At once. [19:54:22] * Nine trots on off to make the call, mentally noting the illness for later reports. [19:54:57] * Soon, there's a knock on the door. [19:55:49] * Nine is quite fast in answering the door. [19:56:29] * Jane stays kneeling by the master, using some voice controls systems to get a damp towel. [19:56:49] * The door swings open. A rather stereotypical doctor, complete with totally anachronistic forehead mirror stands there. "Hello fraulein. Is zis ze Ishida residence?" [19:57:22] It would be. Come with me at once. [19:57:48] * He nods and follows. [19:58:03] * Nine trots along. Depending on if the Doctor's paying attention, he'll notice that there are a couple of weird flesh-colored antennae-like doodads poking out of her hair. Oh, and the glassy blue eyes. [19:58:33] * He notices, but probably doesn't care. This being an era full of robots. [20:00:49] * Nine ushers him in, then waits. She's watching him closely, though -- he might be another operative. [20:01:31] * He examines Master Ishida. "Oh, zis is not good. She will be incapacitated for a few days. She seems to be suffering from ze MiKoNaSu infection. In a few days she should be perfectly healthy." [20:01:33] * Jane hears the closing of the door and asks, "Nine? Is the doctor here?" [20:01:47] Mikonasu? [20:03:27] He is. We shall have to care for the Master closely in the meantime. [20:04:34] Is there anything we can do to make her feel better? [20:05:57] * "Oh yes. It is a memetic disease that has been spreading very rapidly. Just keep her avay from ze video sites und don't play any songs vith a fast tempo." [20:06:58] Certainly. [20:08:22] * With that, the docotr takes his leave, leaving the two of you alone. [20:09:28] * Nine looks to Jane evenly. "The master will require our best service. I shall see to her comfort and cleanliness." [20:10:20] * Jane mutters to herself, "Memetic disease?" Before shaking her head and ackwardly said, "Could you get a big of water in one of those sipping tube things while you're at it?" [20:11:15] Certainly. [20:11:50] * Nine turns on her heel and goes to get what's requested... but not after taking a moment to moisten a rag and set it on the master's forehead. [20:12:25] * Ishida turns slightly in bed. It seems to be helping. [20:13:48] * Jane goes to set the internal temps to a warmer setting, to make sure it's not too cold, and makes sure all radios are off. [20:15:02] * Nine returns shortly with a tall, frothy glass of water. And a straw! [20:15:17] * The internal temperature promptly sets itself back to a cooler setting. [20:15:44] Huh. [20:15:52] * Jane tries to set it slightly warmer again. [20:16:25] * It promptly sets itself colder. [20:17:46] * The temperature readout now reads ":(" [20:17:50] Nine, is there something wrong with the temperture control? [20:18:18] Hurm. I shall have to take a look at the reading. One moment. [20:19:24] * Nine walks over to the control and has a look. "Curious." She attempts to carefully set the temperature up just a smidge. [20:19:51] * The temperature control now reads: ">:(" [20:20:36] * An ice cube drops out of a vent and onto Nine's head. [20:21:31] * Nine seems unpreturbed. "It seems that the device is not cooperating with the master's needs. Perhaps..." [20:23:30] * Nine claps her hands, rubs them together... and then tries to literally restart the thing. There's got to be some sort of reset button or toggle somewhere. Not being technically skilled, she's basically playing it by artificial ear and programming. [20:25:14] * There's a click, and the temperature control flickers, then flashes "12:00". [20:26:12] It should function as intended, Jane. [20:26:48] * Jane tries to work the machine as she remembers it. [20:28:44] * It now works as intended [20:28:54] * The temperature is soon made a bit warmer, as Jane wanted. [20:29:02] Thank you Nine. I don't know what I'd do without you. [20:30:01] It is alright, Jane. We work as a unit to serve. [20:31:43] * Suddenly, there's a brilliant flash of light outside the car. Then someone with a camera with their face pressed up against it. And some people with microphones. [20:32:14] * Jane makes her way to the food that she prepared, as she doesn't see the flash due to her blindness. "Guess I'll have to eat alone today, then." [20:33:30] * There is now a sizable crowd, and a knock at the door [20:34:04] I shall see to that. Take your time, Jane. [20:34:23] Thank you. [20:34:26] * Nine walks on out with practiced precision and opens the door just a touch. "Hello." [20:36:02] * There's a bright flash of a camera and the talk of a ton of media crew. Which start to pour into the car if they can. They all talk excitedly. [20:37:18] * Nine wastes little time in doing everything she can to *stop* them from pouring in. "The Master is ill. You will have to leave at once." [20:37:56] * Jane stops her action of preparing her breakfast as the noise starts to rise. "What's going on?" She stands up and heads towards the noise. [20:38:13] * One of them starts setting up a video camera. "We're reporting to you live, from Ishida Manor, where the reclusive heir to the family fortune spends most of her days-... wait, we've just received word that she's sick." She shoves the microphone before NIne's face. And points the video camera. [20:39:02] * "What can you tell us about Ishida's illness?" [20:40:19] I am not at the liberty to explain private matters. Jane, we seem to have attracted the attention of the media. [20:40:47] * "They seem to have attracted the attention of the media! Write that down, John." [20:41:30] * Jane gropping to the side of the car, she comes up with a large war-hammer like weapon and heads over to the door. "Everyone, OUT! Nobody gets to interview the master, and you're disturbing her rest! OUT!" She pushes her hammer towards the direction where the voice other than Nine was coming from, intending to push them all out. [20:43:25] * She manages to drive off a number of the media crew, including those that got inside the house, but there's still a ton of them. [20:44:02] * Jane tries to close the door on them so nobody else can get in. "Go away if you have nothing constructive to say." [20:44:32] * The door gets firmly shut. [20:44:40] * HOwever, they're still filming and flashing cameras through the windows. [20:44:55] * Jane presses a button that locks the doors and tinted the windows. [20:45:09] * Nine makes a face. "This will have to suffice for now. They will have to eat and sleep somewhere. Close the windows, Jane." [20:45:11] * THe windows tint with a solid click. [20:45:18] [The curtains, even.] [20:46:23] * The phone rings. [20:46:42] I wonder what that was about... [20:46:52] Shall I, or would you prefer to? [20:47:05] * Jane walks inside their home barefeet to make sure she knows where she's going, thus she goes to get the phone. [20:47:16] I'll get it. Hello? [20:48:35] * "Hey! What's cousin Ishida doing, getting all this media attention? I've spent forever trying to get them to pay attention to my fancy parties but they never show up!" [20:50:14] "I'm sorry, but we don't know either. But master is sick right now, so there's no way to find out." [20:50:47] * "Sick?" [20:52:05] "The doctor said it's a memetic disease called MiKoNaSu. [20:52:37] * Nine tends to the daily business of sweeping after those filthy reporters, but is close enough to listen in to at least Jane's side. [20:52:41] * "What the hell is that?" [20:54:04] "I'm sorry, but I do not know either." [20:54:25] * "If I caught it would th emedia start paying attention to me?" [20:55:16] "Perhaps your staff could find out what it is and you'll be able to decide from that information?" [20:55:39] * "Hm... yes. Yes, perhaps." [20:56:15] "Is there anything else I can /help/ you with?" [20:56:55] * "What are you wearing right now?" [20:57:41] "I believe my normal uniform. Unfortunately, I cannot /see/ to confirm it." [20:57:56] * "Oh. .... okay, bye." *click* [20:58:44] ... do I want to know? [20:59:10] * Master Ishida rolls over in her sleep. [20:59:10] ... I am wearing my normal uniform, right? [21:01:04] * Nine takes a moment to look. "You are, yes." [21:01:48] * Jane shrugs and then says, "I guess I'll have my breakfast for now. Could you watch over the master for me?" [21:02:02] Certainly. [21:02:18] * Nine moves into position, watching Ishida like a hawk. [21:03:11] * Ishida snores lightly. A nose hair trembles in the wind [21:03:33] * Jane FINALLY starts eating the food that she made, making note to try to prepare something that the master can eat later. [21:04:08] * The food isn't bad. [21:06:39] * Ishida rolls over and accidentally pushes some buttons. The car starts to rumble... [21:07:07] ... problematic. [21:07:11] * Jane almost loses her balance and asks, "What's going on?" [21:07:55] * Nine moves to look at said buttons. "I am checking to see what she has pushed." [21:08:47] * The car seems to start to levitate off the ground. The media gawks up at you, but the camera flashes become too distant to really stand out in the tinted glass. [21:09:03] * It looks like the master pushed the buttons that launch the house into space. [21:10:05] Oh dear. [21:10:13] Oh dear? [21:10:15] * Nine immediately looks for a way to cancel launch. [21:13:12] * Nine manages to remeber how to cancel the launch and bring the car safely down to the ground. Or just hover in the air. [21:14:16] Zero gravity would be problematic, to say the least. [21:14:21] What happened? [21:16:22] * Nine calmly settles the master back into a less button-pushy position. "The Master accidentally touched the launch button." [21:16:52] ... Launch button. As in, fly into space Launch button? [21:18:56] Yes. I am not certain how it is a part of the car, either. [21:20:12] I think I remember her saying it's part of the 'most advanced multi-terrian vehical' system she had them install or something." [21:21:02] ... Master spares no expense. [21:21:37] * She continues sleeping. But not touchign buttons. [21:23:01] Either way, what's happening right now? [21:24:30] * WHat is happening right now is that A ROBOT IS BREAKING DOWN THE FRONT DOOR! WITH CLAWS! [21:24:35] [TO BE CONTINUED] End of #MaidRPG buffer Sun Nov 02 21:25:06 2008
