[2009-11-16 19:03:43] <Thomas> 4 Another day at Thomas's mansion, will the maids act on the recent knowledge they've uncovered regarding the mansion's manifold mysteries? Will they tell Thomas?
[2009-11-16 19:03:58] * Thomas curls up in bed, his ears twitching
[2009-11-16 19:05:34] * Yuuki yawns and stretches, blearily changing and such.
[2009-11-16 19:06:00] <Thomas> 3 Gemeril has finished ironing out Yuuki's uniform
[2009-11-16 19:06:43] * Yuuki pats Gemeril on the head.  "Thanks!"
[2009-11-16 19:06:55] * Maya lifts herself off the bed with a yawn and begins to get changed for the day.
[2009-11-16 19:07:34] <Thomas> 4 Delilah knocks on the window near Naya's bed, "Pssst."
[2009-11-16 19:10:22] * Johanne sat up in Thomas' bed and stretched out her tired limbs, carefully she left the bed and limbered up to start the day. She then spent a good portion of time checking the tightness of her bindings, and picking at dust and dirt caught inbetween the wrappings. Eventually she left the bedside and donned her uniform once again.
[2009-11-16 19:11:15] * Maya 's ears twitch as she hears a knock and floats over to the window, pulling it open and peeking her head out with a pillow over her head to block the sun. "Delilah?"
[2009-11-16 19:11:34] * Yuuki strolls out into the hallway and looks around...  "Where is everyone...?"
[2009-11-16 19:12:13] <Thomas> 4 "Hey, hey. I was just heading out. I don't know what you should do about it but...It's Thomas's mother's birthday today...He...Usually celebrates it on his own. Y-Yeah!" Delilah noddefd
[2009-11-16 19:12:14] <Thomas> nodded*
[2009-11-16 19:12:39] * Carrissa already had begun getting out of bed, oddly early for her. She rubbed her breast that she'd hurt the other day as she 7yawned her way down the staircase, shrugging her clothes on over her head, as usual.
[2009-11-16 19:13:06] =-= Pasta is now known as Melisa
[2009-11-16 19:13:10] * Yuuki follows behind Carrissa.  "How's it going?"
[2009-11-16 19:13:37] <Maya> "His mother's birthday? Ah I see..." Maya gave the notion some thought, one of the other maids could probably give her some more insight on what to do about that...if there is anything to be done anyways. "When will you return?"
[2009-11-16 19:13:38] <Thomas> 3 Gemeril grumbles with a beep at being ignored
[2009-11-16 19:14:33] <Thomas> 4 "Not sure...Delilah and her mother were leaving for the day so I have to cook for my father. His cooking is atrocious and he needs to be well-fed." she nodded
[2009-11-16 19:14:39] <Thomas> Bavette and her mother*
[2009-11-16 19:14:48] * Melisa rolls right out of bed and on to the broom, floating over to her dresser before getting changed and floating right into 7 Thomas' room.
[2009-11-16 19:15:31] * Thomas hugged his pillow, whining a bit in his sleep
[2009-11-16 19:16:36] * Carrissa spins about at the bottom of the stairs. "Good morning, Yuugi!"
[2009-11-16 19:17:05] * Yuuki unicode stares.  "It's /Yuuki./"
[2009-11-16 19:18:27] * Johanne turned toward Thomas, now that she looked proper, it seemed only natural to wake him up. Who else would do it, himself? The maid crossed the room carefully, then reached under the covers and grabbed at Thomas' shoulders gently. A few gentle shakes, and a careful whispering to wake up the master.
[2009-11-16 19:18:33] <Maya> "Well, I wish you the best of luck then." Maya grabbed an umbrella and floated down to the backyard to enter the 7garden. She began to tend to it...apparently cutting a plant she shouldn't have but managing to cover it up nicely with some proper care.
[2009-11-16 19:19:01] <Melisa> "Good mornin', Johanne, Thomas!" she says with a smile while waving, her other hand conducting cluttered things back into order, as well as a single duster to dust around Thomas' room.
[2009-11-16 19:19:38] <Thomas> "H-Hmm..?" Thomas rose slightly, his tail wagging when he saw Johanne, "G'morning..." sitting up , scratched at one of his ears
[2009-11-16 19:20:22] <Johanne> "Oh, Miss Melisa... Is it this late already?"
[2009-11-16 19:21:14] * Johanne turned back to Thomas and absentmindedly assisted him in scratching his ear. "Did you sleep well, Master?"
[2009-11-16 19:21:18] <Melisa> "L-Late? No, it's still morning..."
[2009-11-16 19:21:45] * Carrissa nodded. "Right, Yuuki Shin..." Carrissa looked like she was thinking about what the rest of it was but forgot what she was doing. "Hungry? Let's make breakfast!"
[2009-11-16 19:21:53] <Thomas> "Very well!" Thomas nodded smiling looking up at his calendar, seeming to stare at it for awhile. His tail still wagging. The date was circled.
[2009-11-16 19:22:24] * Yuuki sighs and walks beside Carrissa with her hands in her pockets.  "Sure..."
[2009-11-16 19:22:55] <Melisa> "Did the master have a bad dream? You two seem to have slept in the same bed."
[2009-11-16 19:23:39] * Johanne followed Thomas's eyes. "...! Wait, you're wrong, that's not at all how it seems!" Suddenly, the indignant maid whirled around to "correct" this assertion!
[2009-11-16 19:23:46] * Maya floats back inside to the 7kitchen to see if breakfast had been prepared...
[2009-11-16 19:23:55] * Thomas blushes, "I-I uhh...Johanne came in to clean is all!"
[2009-11-16 19:24:13] * Thomas dashed to his closet to quickly get dressed in a black suit
[2009-11-16 19:24:31] <Melisa> "Ohh, it's OK. Bad dreams happen all the ti-" she covers her eyes. "M-Master!"
[2009-11-16 19:24:45] * Thomas finished dressing, "Huh?"
[2009-11-16 19:25:04] * Johanne nodded. "R-ridiculous, no professional maid would consider sleeping with her employer. It's just not done!" Her arms folded, and her eyes shut in embarrassment again.
[2009-11-16 19:25:20] * Maya noticed no one was in the 7kitchen right now...
[2009-11-16 19:25:27] * Carrissa nodded and strolled happily into the kitchen, where she began to light a large stove fire before dangerously interrupting it to shout out "Shinukon! That was your name, right, Yuuki?"
[2009-11-16 19:25:29] <Melisa> "You can't dress in front of us, we're girls, and you're...a boy!" she turns to Johanne. "But I'm the one who cleaned his room just now..."
[2009-11-16 19:26:06] <Thomas> "Oh, uhh, I'm sorry...I didn't think is all...Uhm...About that..I'm hungry!" Thomas ran off
[2009-11-16 19:26:30] * Yuuki brightens up and grins at Carrissa!  "Ha!  Of course, no one could possibly forget my name..."  She motions for Gemeril to assist with breakfast.
[2009-11-16 19:26:36] * Thomas dashed downstairs to jump into a seat at the dinner table as if it were 'home base'
[2009-11-16 19:26:45] <Melisa> "He's so full of energy, it's like having a little brother!" she says to Johanne, smiling as she floats off slowly behind him.
[2009-11-16 19:26:55] * Johanne sighed. "Yes, and I suppose you did a good job cleaning out the room. Oh... Wait, Miss Melisa."
[2009-11-16 19:26:56] <Thomas> 3 Gemeril follows through, nodding and repeating a recording of Yuuki's name
[2009-11-16 19:27:06] * Melisa stops in the doorway. "Yes~?"
[2009-11-16 19:27:18] * Maya waits in a corner of the ceiling in the kitchen for breakfast to be prepared...she prefered to skip breakfast with the others today.
[2009-11-16 19:27:31] * Johanne walked up to the witch. "Something about the Master worried me last night, could you ask him about it? He'd gotten... sick."
[2009-11-16 19:27:45] * Thomas leans in his seat to notice Maya, "Miss Maya...?"
[2009-11-16 19:28:02] * Johanne frowned and turned her head. "I think this is something only magic could take care of."
[2009-11-16 19:28:26] <Melisa> "S-Sick?! I should conjure up a potion right away. I'll need some Swamproot, frog's tongue, a pinch of cloud sugar...." she lists a few more fanciful things.
[2009-11-16 19:28:54] <Maya> "Eh?" Maya was spotted right away??? She floated back down, mildly surprised. "Hello Master Thomas."
[2009-11-16 19:29:12] * Johanne nodded hastily. "Right, whatever you can do. Please..." She looks ready to leave the room now.
[2009-11-16 19:29:54] * Thomas nods, "Good morning. Ahh, I was going to ask something but...I forget what it was...S-Sorry to bother you."
[2009-11-16 19:30:26] <Melisa> "Magic...hmm, I'll see what I can do!" she nods and floats out the door and down the stairs to the 7 dining room.
[2009-11-16 19:31:02] <Maya> "O-oh...that's a shame." Maya blinked, she was now curious as to what he may have wanted to ask...but feeding Alex might probably couldn't wait.
[2009-11-16 19:31:37] * Thomas waves, "Mornin' Melisa!"
[2009-11-16 19:32:30] * Carrissa had jumped back from the wilding flame and let the pair manage breakfast, then gathered up some plates to serve the audible gathering in the dining room.
[2009-11-16 19:32:37] <Melisa> "Good morning, Master!" she smiles back and takes a seat, letting her broom lean against the table. "I've heard something rather distressing. Is it true that you've been sick recently?"
[2009-11-16 19:33:13] * Johanne walks downstairs as well, then joined the 7dining room as well. "Has the garden been taken care of yet?"
[2009-11-16 19:33:55] <Thomas> "W-Well, yeah...I did have a bit of a spell last night, I don't know why...It happens pretty rarely though! I should be fine!" he nodded
[2009-11-16 19:34:02] * Yuuki and Gemeril had made waffles and toast for breakfast!
[2009-11-16 19:34:47] <Melisa> "Still, I'd like to take a look at you later, just to be sure."
[2009-11-16 19:34:52] * Maya takes a few waffles from the meal before Yuuki could take it to the dining room. She headed down to 7Alex's room.
[2009-11-16 19:35:14] <Thomas> "W-Well ok...Are ya a /witch doctor/?" his ears perked up
[2009-11-16 19:35:30] * Johanne sniffed and sat down at the table to eat.
[2009-11-16 19:35:54] <Maya> "Alex, I've brought you breakfast." she called out, somewhat none too enthusiastically...she didn't mind Alex, but she got the feeling he didn't really like her around now.
[2009-11-16 19:36:26] <Thomas> "Thanks! Man, I'm starving..." he stood, walking over to take a plate and eating ravenously
[2009-11-16 19:37:45] <Maya> "It is no problem." Maya bowed mildly, waiting for him to finish so she could return the plate.
[2009-11-16 19:37:52] * Melisa giggles at the pun. "N-No Thomas...and maaaaybe I've never actually cured anyone...or anything for that matter....But I'm willing to give anything a try!"
[2009-11-16 19:38:20] * Thomas finished eating quickly, burping and covering his mouth before giving back the plate, "Excuse me. Here you are."
[2009-11-16 19:38:27] * Johanne sighed as she ate, hopefully Melisa wouldn't make her regret mentioning the ordeal.
[2009-11-16 19:38:53] * Yuuki brings out the food and sets it all out on the table.  "Bon appetite!"
[2009-11-16 19:38:53] <Thomas> Alex(
[2009-11-16 19:39:40] <Thomas> "W-Well ok! Witches can do anything so I'm sure it's fine." he nodded
[2009-11-16 19:40:50] <Melisa> "D-Don't put too much faith into magic! You might still have to take medicine, maybe even get a shot or two, as well as some rest."
[2009-11-16 19:41:13] * Thomas ears flatten, "I hate needles! They give me the willies!"
[2009-11-16 19:41:16] <Thomas> thomas's
[2009-11-16 19:42:24] * Johanne sighed as she eavesdropped on the conversation, she looked visibly irritated now for some reason.
[2009-11-16 19:42:49] <Maya> "Thank you Alex...I must say, I'm a bit disconcerted by your lack of manners..." Maya stated, wasn't what he did kind of rude?
[2009-11-16 19:43:05] <Melisa> "Don't worry, they're harmless." she smiles and begins eating
[2009-11-16 19:43:49] <Thomas> "Sorry..I'm new to this body so some of the reflexes are hard to control you know.." Alex defended
[2009-11-16 19:44:22] * Thomas looked at Johanne, "I-Is something wrong? You've barely had any waffles..."
[2009-11-16 19:44:30] * Thomas dug into some of said waffles
[2009-11-16 19:45:00] * Yuuki noms on her own absently.
[2009-11-16 19:45:11] <Maya> "Well...I suppose that's understandable." Maya agreed, "I've been wondering, what have you been doing to occupy yourself in any case?"
[2009-11-16 19:45:51] * Johanne frowned. "Nothing's wrong! I'm eating them normally!" At this, Johanne began forcing waffles down.
[2009-11-16 19:47:46] <Thomas> Alex headed to a table, picking up some documents, "Studying some maps, my father's notes. The route doesn't seem to deviate much, and it seems to lead for a certain landmark...Though I don't have any information on it, it's supposed to be a place with powerful magic. It'll take awhile but I'm going to get there." he nodded
[2009-11-16 19:48:05] <Thomas> "O-Ok!" Thomas whimpered, finishing his waffles
[2009-11-16 19:48:20] * Melisa leans over to Thomas. "She's just a bit worried about you~ She'll be OK."
[2009-11-16 19:49:09] * Johanne pushed her plate now that it was mostly emptied. "D-did somebody take care of the laundry?"
[2009-11-16 19:50:47] * Thomas looked about, did anyone do the laundry or not?
[2009-11-16 19:51:12] * Melisa stands up. "If you'll excuse me, I'll take care of the dishes now. Unless you'd like to take care of your treatment first?"
[2009-11-16 19:51:19] <Maya> "I see, you've given this a lot of thought despite it only being 2 days." Maya seemed impressed.
[2009-11-16 19:51:28] * Yuuki shrugs.
[2009-11-16 19:51:56] <Thomas> "I-I am curious to see what magic you were gonna use..." Thomas's tail wagged
[2009-11-16 19:52:12] <Thomas> "Lotta time." Alex shrugged
[2009-11-16 19:53:04] * Yuuki hmmms...  "C'mon, Gemeril, let's go check out the study."
[2009-11-16 19:53:18] <Johanne> "Well, I'll assume nobody has..." Johanne stood up again and headed out of the dining room, "...Oh," stopping at the door. "Thanks, Melisa," then leaving for the 7laundry room.
[2009-11-16 19:53:20] <Thomas> 3 Gemeril beeped in affirmation and followed Yuuki there
[2009-11-16 19:54:02] * Melisa smiles at Johanne as she leaves and turns back to Thomas. "Well, let's lay you down on the couch and we'll start!"
[2009-11-16 19:54:47] * Yuuki takes a look around the study.  "Pretty dusty in here..."
[2009-11-16 19:55:00] <Maya> "So you really will be leaving..." Maya repeated like the first time he said it, "Tell me, is there nothing you wish to do before you leave this estate? Perhaps I can assist you?" Maya smiled, she wanted to make sure Alex had no regrets before leaving...even if he might come back, who knew how long it would be or how much things would change...
[2009-11-16 19:55:05] <Thomas> 4 The dust seemed to move!
[2009-11-16 19:55:20] <Thomas> 3 Gemeril beeped defensively
[2009-11-16 19:55:55] <Thomas> Alex shook his head, "Thanks for asking...But I don't think there's anything important for me to do here, no."
[2009-11-16 19:56:26] <Thomas> "Huh? Ok!" Thomas nodded, hopping out of his seat and heading out to lay on the couch
[2009-11-16 19:57:11] <Yuuki> "Eh?  What's this?  You think you can beat me?! Pathetic dustlings, Gemeril, prepare to destroy them!"
[2009-11-16 19:57:42] <Melisa> "Alrighty! Let's start!" she rolls up her sleeves.
[2009-11-16 19:57:52] <Maya> "Nothing at all...?" Maya seemed a bit dissapointed. "Well then...I suppose I'll leave you to your work in that case." she sighed dully, perhaps she needed to go do something else...
[2009-11-16 19:57:58] <Thomas> 3 Gemeril beeped in affirmation, the dust rearing up like a tidal wave!
[2009-11-16 19:58:16] * Thomas waited for the magic!
[2009-11-16 19:58:32] <Thomas> "Right. See you around." Alex nodded
[2009-11-16 20:01:10] * Maya floated back upstairs and to the 7lobby...it seemed as if there had been more and more days like this lately...was life amongst mortals supposed to be this dull sometimes? Well, she knew she got bored halfway back to death back at the castle...anyways, she picked up a broom and began to sweep.
[2009-11-16 20:01:41] * Melisa tosses some dust from a satchel on her waist on him (it's just plain glitter, but it's pretty sparkly) and begins to focus magic at him....or something, she really has no clue what she's doing, but she's hoping she can at least find out what's wrong with him. She adds a few of her signature special effects of stars and flashy lights to distract him from any discomfort he's probably going to...
[2009-11-16 20:01:42] * Melisa ...feel for good measure. "Just...clear your mind...or something."
[2009-11-16 20:02:05] * Johanne looked at the washing machine curiously. "What is this...?" Whatever it was, it looked complex and hard to work. "How do you... do this with the clothes?" Questions filled her mind as she circled around the laundry room.
[2009-11-16 20:02:12] <Thomas> "O-Ok!" Thomas shuts his eyes tight, his tail wagging
[2009-11-16 20:02:22] <Yuuki> Gemeril shoots a boltt of pitch dark lightning from his palm towards the dust mass...!
[2009-11-16 20:02:22] <Thomas> 4 Melisa senses something like...A curse on Thomas
[2009-11-16 20:03:12] <Thomas> 4 Some of the dust dissipates, settling back down with nary a fuss
[2009-11-16 20:03:21] |<-- Yuuki has left irc.thisisnotatrueending.com (Connection reset by peer)
[2009-11-16 20:03:24] * Melisa frowns as she concentrates. "It's not a physical sickness...definitely some kind of magic, and not the good kind."
[2009-11-16 20:03:27] <Thomas> 4 But yet more collects and attacks Yuuki!

[2009-11-16 20:04:19] * Maya attempted to sweep up...but everytime she tried, some dust flew up and clogged her sense of smell, causing her to sneeze. She tried a few more times before giving up...it was just...too much. She sneezed repeatedly.

[2009-11-16 20:05:21] * Melisa slowly dulls down the special effects and magic until she comes to a complete halt. "It seems like some kind of curse, but I've never cursed anyone, so it's not something I know too much about..."
[2009-11-16 20:05:29] =-= Ampersand is now known as Yuuki
[2009-11-16 20:06:12] * Thomas sits up, "I see...If it's a curse maybe it's in one of my books..." he nodded
[2009-11-16 20:06:17] <Thomas> "Thanks Melisa."
[2009-11-16 20:06:41] * Johanne just sort of throws a piece of clothing on it and fills up water and soap like normal washing.
[2009-11-16 20:06:47] <Melisa> "No problem! If you start feeling worse, come see me. I might be able to help...and if you don't mind, I'd like to see one of these books some time myself."
[2009-11-16 20:06:58] <Thomas> 4 The dust simply swirls about Yuuki
[2009-11-16 20:07:22] <Thomas> 4 Suds start to pour out of the washer, Johanne used the wrong soap!
[2009-11-16 20:08:03] <Thomas> "O-Ok! Uhm..My books on magic are in a big pile up in my room." he nodded with a smile
[2009-11-16 20:08:05] * Yuuki does a noble-woman's laugh.  "Fools, you stand before the unbeatable might of a true genius!"
[2009-11-16 20:09:03] <Johanne> "...Ah, wait! Stop!" She fretted and quickly grabbed a washcloth from inside her apron. She then tried to wiped away the suds building up!
[2009-11-16 20:09:29] <Thomas> 4 The dust swirled at Gemeril, ready to attack!
[2009-11-16 20:10:08] * Maya sighs, today just wasn't her day. What to do next...? She sat around in the 7lobby, deciding to take a rest to clear out her sinuses.
[2009-11-16 20:10:10] * Melisa nods with a smile and a pat on the head before floating up to his room...Oh wait, Johanne might want to know about this. She floats to the 7 Laundry room. 1 "J-Johanne! What happened?!"
[2009-11-16 20:10:41] <Yuuki> Gemeril glows with a golden aura and rapidly dashes through the dust from various angles!
[2009-11-16 20:10:46] * Thomas hops off the couch walking along and spotting Maya, "Hey are you ok miss Maya?"
[2009-11-16 20:11:21] <Johanne> "...Ah!" Thinking quickly, she grabbed onto the washing machine and tossed it out an open window! "...Nothing, Miss Melisa." Instantly, she regained her composure once again.
[2009-11-16 20:11:28] <Thomas> 4 The dust is eradicated! The room was made spotless in the fury of the attack! Gemeril posed triumphantly, playing some fanfare from it's speaker
[2009-11-16 20:12:18] * Carrissa hopped off the stove, done scrubbing up the slight scorch her earlier botch had left on the ceiling, and then re-washed the stovetop from her feet, too! She cleaned up rest of the kitchen while she was at it! W-wait, what happened to the noise from the dining room?
[2009-11-16 20:12:18] * Carrissa put her hands on her hips and 7stepped into the dining room, expression rising to see that there was at least breakfast left, and Risa plopped into the chair Thomas usually occupied, grabbing a plate and eating some waffles happily
[2009-11-16 20:12:33] <Maya> "Hmm? Master Thomas?" Maya turned to face Thomas and sneezed one more time. "I'll be alright in a minute, I've been having a rather difficult day."
[2009-11-16 20:12:38] <Melisa> "...Did I just see you..." she rubs her eyes a bit. "A-Anyway, it seems the young master has been cursed. By who, why, or what the curse does, I don't know."
[2009-11-16 20:13:02] <Yuuki> "Hohohoho~!  Excellent work, Gemeril...  Those pests won't be bothering /us/ again!"  She pats him on the head and grins broadly.
[2009-11-16 20:13:12] <Johanne> "A curse, you say? This is serious... Do you know anything about them?"
[2009-11-16 20:14:18] * Thomas took out a handkerchief from his pocket, offering it to Maya, "Mama said when you're having a bad day, you should put the clock forward a whole minute to be ahead of your bad luck." he nodded
[2009-11-16 20:14:32] <Thomas> 3 Gemeril bows graciously
[2009-11-16 20:14:57] * Johanne began to clean up the laundry the good old fashioned way, by hand- and moving at twenty articles of clothing per minute.
[2009-11-16 20:15:03] <Melisa> "Not a single thing~" she shrugs. "Other than them being generally bad, of course. Thomas did mention some books in his room that might have information about it, wanna go have a looksie?"
[2009-11-16 20:16:00] <Johanne> "Oh, uhh... I'll be there, you go ahead?" She eyed the open window and coughed a bit.
[2009-11-16 20:16:07] * Yuuki hmmms and looks around the 7study, running her finger across the spines of a few books and looking at the titles for anything interesting.
[2009-11-16 20:17:07] <Thomas> 4 Yuuki noticed
[2009-11-16 20:18:43] <Thomas> 4 Yuuki noticed a large partion of books clustered together with rather scientific language, being learned herself, she could tell they were collections of thesis papers and manuals for powering instilling inanimate objects with life using magic. Like Reginald? Though Yuuki of course was used to using things beside magic the theory was similar.
[2009-11-16 20:18:49] * Maya graciously accepts the handkerchief yet doesn't use it, she didn't want to ruin his offering...but mostly she didn't want to blow her nose in front of Thomas..."A minute forward? That would certainly be nice." she laughed serenely. "Is everything alright with you? Are you getting along with everyone?"
[2009-11-16 20:18:54] <Melisa> "Okie dokie~" she said, floating off to 7 Thomas' room. 1 "Now let's see which one of these books it is..." she says, eyeing the pile.
[2009-11-16 20:19:31] <Thomas> "Huh..? W-Well yeah! I think so...Gosh, why'dya ask Maya?" Thomas tilted his head, his ear twitching
[2009-11-16 20:20:17] <Thomas> 4 Melisa pulls out a book from the stack and the rest falls down on her!
[2009-11-16 20:20:24] * Johanne muttered something as she headed 7outside the mansion to retrieve the washing machine and return it.
[2009-11-16 20:20:27] <Yuuki> "Hmmm...  Interesting..."  She sits down in an armchair and starts reading.
[2009-11-16 20:22:14] <Melisa> "Oh no-" she's interrupted as the pile falls on her. Maybe she'll just...stay rest for a while, she /did/ use up a lot of magic needlessly today~
[2009-11-16 20:22:18] =-= Melisa is now known as Pasta
[2009-11-16 20:22:21] <Thomas> 4 The manual Yuuki picked out stressed 'the simplicity of the manufactured soul', that complex emotions cannot be contained in certain vessels, and not controlled period with even proper nurturing. It demanded chiefly a master craftsman to make the right vessel, and a master magic-user to give it the 'right' soul.
[2009-11-16 20:23:14] <Maya> "Oh, just for conversation's sake really..." she looked around, her nose felt a lot better now. However she could not say the same...every passing day she spent here, helped cement the idea that...she probably didn't really belong here, frankly she might simply get along more with a person like Bavette...she sat still, looking at nowhere in particular with no focused thoughts in mind.
[2009-11-16 20:23:54] * Thomas sat down next to Maya, "Well...Are you getting along? A-Are ya happy?
[2009-11-16 20:25:23] * Yuuki frowns thoughtfully...  "No control over emotions..  Requiring a master craftsman...  Sounds like far more trouble than it's worth, eh Gemeril?"  She says, setting the book down on a table.
[2009-11-16 20:25:46] <Thomas> 3 Gemeril gave a glance to Yuuki, impossible to decipher.
[2009-11-16 20:26:01] * Johanne returned the washing machine to the 7laundry room with a sigh. "Now what did Miss Melisa want... Right." Curiously, she headed upstairs to 7Thomas's room.
[2009-11-16 20:26:09] <Maya> "Happy...well, I can't say I'm unhappy." it looked as if she wasn't very sure herself. "I can't say I don't get along with the others either..." of course, that wasn't exactly a clear answer either.
[2009-11-16 20:26:23] <Thomas> 4 Johanne noticed Melisa sleeping under a pile of books.
[2009-11-16 20:27:34] * Johanne frowned. "Sleeping on the job! Really, this girl..." The maid crossed the room and carefully hefted her up. "Useless maids ought to sleep in their own beds..."
[2009-11-16 20:27:38] * Yuuki looks at Gemeril...
[2009-11-16 20:27:41] * Thomas scratches at one of his ears, "G-Gosh, ya don't sound very sure...Mama said you're wasting space and time bein' somewhere you're not happy..."
[2009-11-16 20:28:04] <Yuuki> "Maybe I can find enough resources to get you a vocalizer now..."
[2009-11-16 20:28:21] <Thomas> 3 Gemeril looks up at Yuuki, LED runs across it's visor "Was I much trouble?"
[2009-11-16 20:28:51] <Maya> "..." Maya continued staring in front of her and turned back to Thomas, "Your mother was very wise..."
[2009-11-16 20:30:21] * Johanne grumbled on the way to Melisa's bed, then after placing her under the sheets, she grumbled on the way back to 7Thomas's room to clean up the pile of books.
[2009-11-16 20:30:39] * Thomas nodded excitedly, "Y-Yeah! She and dad were both really smart! But Mama especially! She...Lived for a long time. Like how long you live. S-So I guess you'll probably be wise one day too if ya keep learnin'."
[2009-11-16 20:31:24] * Yuuki blinks.  "Oh, so you've given yourself a communications system...?  I'm impressed with your initiative and abilities!"  She smiles.  "And to answer your question, you've definitely been more than worth the trouble I went to to put you together!"
[2009-11-16 20:31:38] <Maya> "I hope so, maybe someday I could pass on a few words of wisdom from your mother too." Maya smiled and got back up.
[2009-11-16 20:32:42] <Thomas> 3 Gemeril pauses, "...Good. That book didn't address that the craftsman need not only be skillful, but earnest, or the creation will be corrupted." This robot seemed to think alot...
[2009-11-16 20:33:56] * Johanne looked at all the books and decided to at least read the titles as she tidied them up, Melisa did mention something about them helping a curse.
[2009-11-16 20:34:14] * Thomas smiled, wagging his tail, "She'd be real happy to hear that...I wish I coulda learnt more." Thomas stood as well, "I realize you must be bored here...You're not /really/ a maid. But...Thank you for working for me." he bowed slightly.
[2009-11-16 20:34:46] <Thomas> 4 Johanne spied, "Great Witches and Wizards Encyclopeida"
[2009-11-16 20:35:46] <Yuuki> "Hm, is that so...?  Earnest to what end, would it matter...?"  She taps the arm rest and looks at Gemeril.
[2009-11-16 20:36:16] * Johanne ...set the book aside, and continued cleaning. After she finished, she held onto it curiously and propped it open.
[2009-11-16 20:36:49] <Maya> "...it was my pleasure Master Thomas." Maya bowed back and handed him his handkerchief. "To be honest, it's not so much that I am bored...I just..." for a moment she considered telling him or not how she felt...well, he was fairly trustworthy, "I feel as if I'm not really needed..." Maya let out a sigh.
[2009-11-16 20:41:13] <Thomas> Thomas nodded, "I-It really isn't a very big mansion, and there are a number of maids here...I-If...If your parents or, if you want to learn more you probably wouldn't learn much more here...Right?"
[2009-11-16 20:42:02] <Thomas> 3 "The craftman's intent. Their reason for creating. That's all." Gemeril stated
[2009-11-16 20:42:48] <Maya> "I...suppose not." Maya looked a bit downcast, she had learnt a lot...but she had hoped she would learn so much more...maybe she should just leave early like Thomas suggested.
[2009-11-16 20:42:55] * Yuuki nods.  "That's what I figured.  So...  Where did you get this information?"  She tilts her head at Gemeril.
[2009-11-16 20:43:49] <Thomas> 3 "Logic." flashed a few times on Gemeril's visor
[2009-11-16 20:46:55] <Thomas> 4 The book Johanne held naturally flipped to a worn page about Helen, Thomas's mother. The photo was neatly cut out. Johanne would noticed it's tacked up on the wall near Thomas's dresser. The entry details her deeds and studies. Burned at the stake.

[2009-11-16 20:47:55] <Johanne> "I'm surprised he doesn't dislike fire..." She looked over the entry once more.
[2009-11-16 20:48:58] <Thomas> "But..." Thomas folded his arms, "Papa says you can learn anything anywhere if you're resourceful. I was bored once in the garden, sitting on a rock and he turned up the rock to show all of these bugs underneath." he nodded, "So I found some books in the study and read about them."
[2009-11-16 20:50:43] <Thomas> 4 "No. My insights came of simple logic." Gemeril flashed
[2009-11-16 20:52:00] <Thomas> 4 Experimented with sentient life lent by magic with craftsman Frederic Carlyle, to whom she married...Began to advocate the use of magic in town to aid the people...Clergy in an uproar... Some of the text was faded
[2009-11-16 20:52:26] <Maya> "What I'd like to learn about isn't easily learnt in books, but I do understand what you mean." she agreed, "So, I find myself with a dilemna...do I leave now or do I stay here and hope to find something more within the last few days I have..." Maya tried to smile but looked a bit saddened by the entire thing...it was her first outing after all.
[2009-11-16 20:52:58] <Johanne> "Clergy? The Hell did they have to do with it?" She flipped around curoiusly for Frederic's name.
[2009-11-16 20:53:41] <Thomas> 4 Frederic, not being a wizard, wasn't mentioned
[2009-11-16 20:55:25] * Yuuki leans back in her chair.  "If the logic is simple to you you must have some facts I don't..."  She sighs.
[2009-11-16 20:55:39] <Thomas> "I can't tell you for sure..." he shook his head, "If you think you've found something, you should pursue it to a conclusion...If it does interest you."
[2009-11-16 20:56:37] <Thomas> 4 "Bad parent raises bad child. Bad crafter crafts bad machine. Logic."
[2009-11-16 20:57:50] * Johanne carefully shut the book, then. "I can't help but feel like I read something unrelated to my goal..."
[2009-11-16 20:58:36] <Maya> "...I suppose I can stay for one more day at least, I would like to try and unveil one thing..." Maya muttered...some of the secrets of this mansion did catch some of her interest. "I believe I'll at least try and tie that one loose end." she stated.
[2009-11-16 21:00:03] <Thomas> "O-Ok. I hope you do. Uhm...I'll miss you." Thomas nodded, walking forward and hugging Maya gently
[2009-11-16 21:01:04] * Johanne replaced the encyclopedia, then dusted herself off as she departed from 7Thomas' room.
[2009-11-16 21:01:51] <Maya> "Thank you." Maya hugged back, wrapping her wings around Thomas as she did so and pulled away, "I think I'll go find Johanne and Carrissa...I'd like to go someplace but I need their aid..."
[2009-11-16 21:02:23] <Yuuki> "Hm, really?  Crafting and parenting are a bit different, though, aren't they...?"  She motions for Gemeril to move closer.
[2009-11-16 21:02:29] <Thomas> "I'll be practicing my painting." Thomas nodded, walking to the living room
[2009-11-16 21:02:58] <Thomas> 3 Gemeril moves in closely, "It is still a matter of creation. And the intent behind said creationg."
[2009-11-16 21:03:03] <Thomas> creation*
[2009-11-16 21:03:14] * Maya decided to search the mansion for Johanne and Carrissa. "Johanne? Carrissa?" she tried calling out as she flew here and there.
[2009-11-16 21:03:51] * Johanne curiously walked over to the sound of the voice. "Maya?"
[2009-11-16 21:04:05] * Thomas set to painting, humming to himself
[2009-11-16 21:04:19] * Johanne headed downstairs...
[2009-11-16 21:05:12] * Yuuki lifts Gemeril up and into her lap.  "I suppose it is..."
[2009-11-16 21:05:40] <Thomas> 3 Gemeril blinks on his visor, "What was the intent behind my creation?"
[2009-11-16 21:06:13] * Carrissa strolled out of the dining room, having amused herself with breakfast and put everything away properly. "Oho, Maya?" Carrissa waved pleasantly.
[2009-11-16 21:06:39] * Maya looked up at the stairs, spotting Johanne. "Johanne, could you help me find Carrissa? I wanted to investigate something but I fear we require a bit more help.." she turned when she realized Carrissa had called her out, she floated over to her, holding Johanne's hand to drag her along.
[2009-11-16 21:07:29] * Johanne looked annoyed as Maya pulled her along. "Why do we need that idiot?"

[2009-11-16 21:10:26] * Carrissa put no hesitation to leaning on Johanne's shoulder with a smile~
[2009-11-16 21:10:30] <Thomas> 3 "My nature is thusly protective and loyal."
[2009-11-16 21:10:55] <Nyssa> "...?" Nyssa tumbles in from wherever suddenly.
[2009-11-16 21:11:13] <Maya> "Well, I'd like to go to the hedge maze out in the back." Maya explained to the others.
[2009-11-16 21:11:27] * Johanne yelped and almost jumped. "Th-this is exactly why-" She stops to look at Nyssa, "-exactly why she wouldn't be help!"
[2009-11-16 21:12:40] <Nyssa> "Did I miss anything?" Nyssa said, her laptop still in her hand before quickly tucking it away.
[2009-11-16 21:13:29] <Carrissa> "The hedge maze? I guess I've seen it out back. Of course I'll go with ya~" Carrissa reached out to rustle Maya's ears.
[2009-11-16 21:14:12] * Maya didn't really mind the contact, "We're going to the hedge maze out back...could you join us as well? I believe the more the better." Maya asked Nyssa.
[2009-11-16 21:14:13] <Yuuki> "Indeed it is..."  She smiles and nods at Gemeril...  "I'm surprisingly tired at the moment...  Shall we retire to my quarters?"
[2009-11-16 21:14:33] <Johanne> "None of your concern," she snapped at Nyssa as she turned to open the door.
[2009-11-16 21:15:00] <Nyssa> "...Uhhh..." She looked over at Maya. "Sure!"
[2009-11-16 21:15:27] <Carrissa> "Hey, Nys, thanks a lot for last night again! You're helping out, too?"
[2009-11-16 21:17:31] <Nyssa> "I guess..."
[2009-11-16 21:18:03] <Thomas> 3 "I shall assist." Gemeril headed off
[2009-11-16 21:18:24] * Yuuki follows after Gemeril, humming a tune.
[2009-11-16 21:19:46] <Maya> "I believe some of you may know about the Hedge Maze's importance at this mansion..." she looked to Johanne mostly, as she had read the book Maya had found as well.
[2009-11-16 21:20:11] * Johanne nods.
[2009-11-16 21:21:20] <Nyssa> "I don't. Any reason why we're exploring it?"
[2009-11-16 21:23:33] <Maya>  "Apparently there is an important artifact hidden away inside of it, Thomas' father once wrote about it and I believe it is necessary to retrieve it...however, the Hedge Maze seems...to not be so keen on the idea."
[2009-11-16 21:23:48] <Nyssa> "Oh, did you try napalming it?"
[2009-11-16 21:24:49] * Carrissa glanced at Nyssa curiously, not knowing the term.
[2009-11-16 21:25:02] <Maya> "It would appear it does not mind fire so much..." Maya recalled mentionning it and the maze catching fire on it's own...

[2009-11-16 22:01:50] <Nyssa> "So, this maze...uhm, shall we get the alcohol and rags?"
[2009-11-16 22:03:17] <Maya> "What would you do with those?" Maya wondered, "Well in any case, we should probably set off." Maya stated, apparently she was team leader here?

[2009-11-16 22:12:56] * Carrissa put a hand on Maya's shoulder, prepared to press the importance of arcane fire safety with Nyssa.

[2009-11-16 22:20:57] * Johanne looked back to Carrissa. "...Hey! Don't lag on us."
[2009-11-16 22:21:25] <Nyssa> "Alright, let's go."
[2009-11-16 22:21:35] * Carrissa pulled her nose away from the wall of the maze, having gotten curious when Maya'd started calling it alive. "Right, Jo, coming~"
[2009-11-16 22:21:51] <Thomas> 4 The maze seemed to stretch on for awhile...
[2009-11-16 22:22:08] <Johanne> "Hmph..." Johanne walked along.
[2009-11-16 22:22:17] <Thomas> 4 Only Carrissa heard a small voice, "Hello? I think I'm lost..." it sounded like a young girl

[2009-11-16 22:23:01] <Carrissa> "Ho? Hey, who's there?"
[2009-11-16 22:23:01] <Maya> "It seems to be extending quite a bit..." Maya muttered, was the maze toying with them?
[2009-11-16 22:23:51] * Johanne nodded as they moved along.
[2009-11-16 22:23:56] <Nyssa> "Ignore it." Nyssa flatout stated. "...you know, I can't believe this place is magic."
[2009-11-16 22:24:36] <Maya> "Ignore what?" Maya stopped and turned around.
[2009-11-16 22:24:38] <Thomas> 4 "Please help!" the girl called to Carrissa!" a small hole in the wall of the maze opened up before Carrissa
[2009-11-16 22:25:00] <Thomas> 4 The path ahead ended and yieled a turn to the left.

[2009-11-16 22:26:38] <Carrissa> "Oho, what are you doing there? Do you know how to get to this side? Hello?" Carrissa started falling behind the others, talking through the wall.
[2009-11-16 22:26:40] <Nyssa> "The wind, of course."
[2009-11-16 22:27:16] * Nyssa sighed a little. "Plus, I doubt it's extending...gotta be your imagination."
[2009-11-16 22:27:23] <Johanne> "...Yeah, it is a bit chilly?"
[2009-11-16 22:27:56] <Thomas> 4 "Don't go! Come back!" the girl's voice seemed to fade, was she running away?
[2009-11-16 22:28:19] * Maya looked behind Johanne and Nyssa, "...where is Carrissa?"
[2009-11-16 22:28:21] <Thomas> 4 The hedge near Johanne froze
[2009-11-16 22:28:44] <Nyssa> "...Good question." Nyssa turned around, keeping her weapons raised.
[2009-11-16 22:29:03] * Johanne blinked and noticed the hedge. "Ah, that idiot probably stopped to sniff the hedge or something..."
[2009-11-16 22:29:41] <Thomas> 4 The voices of an angry mob rang up around the other maids
[2009-11-16 22:30:04] <Carrissa> "Oi, stand still over there, you..." Carrissa scratched her head, staring at the hedge wall... "Oi, are you still over there!"
[2009-11-16 22:30:13] <Thomas> 4 Vines twisted up to look like pitchforks, dancing from the walls, some lanced out at them!
[2009-11-16 22:30:24] * Maya 's ears twitched. "O-oh no!"
[2009-11-16 22:30:59] <Thomas> 4 The girl's voice suddenly screamed, and there was a thump
[2009-11-16 22:31:57] * Johanne seized up and suddenly acted. "Get down!" She shouted as she attempted to dance around the vines.
[2009-11-16 22:32:55] * Nyssa head the warning too late - she twisted around as they delivered a slashing blow to her shoulder. "Damn!"
[2009-11-16 22:33:31] * Maya tried to fly upwards instead but took a cut to her right thigh for her troubles! "Hyah!!"
[2009-11-16 22:34:22] * Carrissa ground her feet into the ground. "Okay, this is too far! Take cover!" Carrissa whipped a match out of her uniform and struck it, then swept it straight down the wall's height, flicking it at the hole after.
[2009-11-16 22:34:33] <Thomas> 4 The voices of the mob jeered, "The cursed maze! The evil witch Carlyle leads her victims there!"
[2009-11-16 22:35:11] * Johanne frowned. "What the... Does anyone else hear that?"
[2009-11-16 22:35:38] <Thomas> 4 A patch of the hedge burst into flame and changed into the shape of a woman tied to a stake with thorny vines, a wail rising above the roar of the flame
[2009-11-16 22:35:47] <Nyssa> "Yeah, and I don't like it!" Nyssa screamed.
[2009-11-16 22:36:55] <Maya> "Ugh, we must keep advancing! If we can get to the middle perhaps we can put a stop to this!" Maya suggested, already recovering from the hit.
[2009-11-16 22:37:40] <Thomas> 4 The hedge maze moved to seperate Carrissa from the others, the din of the 'mob' dying down
[2009-11-16 22:37:50] <Thomas> 4 There was a turn to the left
[2009-11-16 22:38:29] <Johanne> "Wait, let's find that idiot!" She snarled, then turned around... what? "W-wait, this maze is trapping us in!"
[2009-11-16 22:39:40] <Maya> "Let's keep moving...and hope Miss Carrissa can take care of herself..." Maya sighed, moving to the 7left.
[2009-11-16 22:40:06] <Carrissa> "Hey! Oi! Are you trying to say something or just laughing at us, greenie guts!" Carrissa looked around, and saw no sign of the others.
[2009-11-16 22:40:27] <Johanne> "...Ergh." Johanne turned around and walked after Maya.
[2009-11-16 22:41:52] * Nyssa continued moving foward more cautiously now. "Damn vines."
[2009-11-16 22:42:27] <Thomas> 4 the voices turned to hushed whispers, "Carlyle's gone mad with grieving.." "How couldn't he? Poor guy.." "No one's seen his son since then..." "Both of them may have died of shock."
[2009-11-16 22:43:05] <Maya> "This place...what exactly is it showing us?" Maya wondered amidst the whispers...
[2009-11-16 22:43:41] <Maya> "Or better yet...what is its purpose in showing us these things..."
[2009-11-16 22:43:55] <Johanne> "Were we its intended audience...?" Johanne shivered now, looking around the hedges shiftily.
[2009-11-16 22:44:42] <Thomas> 4 The hole in the hedge opened up more, inviting Carrissa
[2009-11-16 22:45:26] <Nyssa> "...Just keep moving."
[2009-11-16 22:45:57] * Maya puts a hand to one of the walls of the maze to remind herself which direction they came from..."Right, then left..."
[2009-11-16 22:45:57] * Carrissa looked around left to right, for any other particular noteables.
[2009-11-16 22:46:12] <Thomas> 3 A chameleon the size of a doberman walked around the corner, "Audience...? Whoever comes in. But I do like to keep the show fresh. And at the anniversary of lady Carlyle's passing...I thought it appropriate."
[2009-11-16 22:46:38] <Thomas> 4 The hedge had moved around Carrissa, it seemed bent on guiding her through
[2009-11-16 22:47:09] <Johanne> "Jesus Christ it's a chameleon!" She pointed it out angrily more than frightened.
[2009-11-16 22:47:54] * Carrissa hopped in through the gap and cautious looked around for the girl's voice from earlier.
[2009-11-16 22:48:00] <Thomas> 3 The chameleon took on the pattern of Johanne's bindings, "I take the shape of one, yes. Marvelous creatures."
[2009-11-16 22:48:13] <Maya> "......" Maya blinked for a moment, not at the chameleon but at a simple piece of information it said. "...she died...today?"
[2009-11-16 22:48:32] <Thomas> 3 "Died on her birthday. Tragic."
[2009-11-16 22:48:46] <Maya> "...I see."
[2009-11-16 22:49:27] * Johanne ...frowned and dropped her arm. "It doesn't sound like she deserved it..."
[2009-11-16 22:49:32] <Nyssa> "How old was she?"
[2009-11-16 22:49:59] <Maya> "And who may you be? My name is Maya." even in this desperate situation, she recalled her manners.
[2009-11-16 22:50:16] <Thomas> 3 "I heard why you've come~ in full force I see! I'm one of the more helpful spirits here...Let me tell you, I don't think you'll find the artifact with the attitude you have...Hmm? Oh she certainly did not deserve it. And she was...250 years old? Call me Pierce."
[2009-11-16 22:50:46] <Thomas> 4 A girl looked up at Carrissa, "Are you lost too?"
[2009-11-16 22:52:02] <Johanne> "Johanne," she sniffed and turned around. Maya should do the talking.
[2009-11-16 22:53:33] <Maya> "I'd like to know...what is the connection between this place and Master Thomas' mother? Why...does it seem to fixated on that person?" Maya figured she'd ask the question that was on their minds earlier.
[2009-11-16 22:54:07] * Carrissa stood more comfortably, saying "Well, I'm right where I walked to. Is that lost? I'd show you the exit, but..." Carrissa turned back towards the hole, the flame from before cutting out at least most of its force from her attention.

[2009-11-16 22:54:47] <Thomas> 3 "As I said it's her birthday. Deathday. And she was quite the gardener. She left an impact on us. We witnessed after all, the 'inciting incident' that led to her death as well."
[2009-11-16 22:55:56] <Thomas> 4 The girl shook her head, "I can't see it...I wanna go home..." she whined, "I lost my doll in here somewhere...Why did you come?"
[2009-11-16 22:57:04] <Maya> "The inciting incident? What caused the villagers to burn her...you mean the curse of the moon?" Maya hesitated a guess.
[2009-11-16 22:57:56] <Thomas> 3 Pierce sighed, "Hmm...Should I tell you? Why do you want to know?"
[2009-11-16 22:58:33] <Carrissa> "Why, why... Oho, well, a friend asked for help to find something in here. Now I'm not sure, I'd like to see them again, though. And you're here looking for a doll?" Carrissa reached out to plop a hand on the girl's head.
[2009-11-16 22:58:55] <Johanne> "He's right. I only want to know since she is the Master's mother."
[2009-11-16 22:59:48] <Thomas> 4 The girl nodded under Carrissa's touch, "Uh huh, I saw a vine sneak out and take it...Everyone warned me the maze was cursed...But..." the girl frowned, "I couldn't leave Pattie behind."
[2009-11-16 23:00:15] <Maya> "I'm a cat, I suppose it's in my nature to be curious..." Maya shook her head, "Or maybe, before I leave I'd like to leave something behind for everyone to remember me by..." she added somewhat quietly.
[2009-11-16 23:01:02] <Johanne> "..." She stood around silently, avoiding the hedge walls.

[2009-11-16 23:02:16] <Thomas> 3 Pierce nodded, "Well...The clergy was looking for anything to whip the town into enough fervor to reject the magic technologies the Carlyles were creating...One of the more malicious spirits of the maze lured a girl from town out picking berries inside, and she never did come out. Now she's a spirit here as well. The clergy blamed Helen since she tends the maze...I'm sure you can imagine the rest.":
[2009-11-16 23:02:24] <Carrissa> "Well, that's not a nice vine at all, stealing girls' dolls! Do you know where to start looking? Maybe we'll find my friends, too~" Carrissa looked about for ways to start walking, though the hole she came through wasn't very inviting anymore
[2009-11-16 23:03:34] <Thomas> 4 "I dunno...But we gotta watch out for the monster in the maze. Once I saw Pattie, but the monster was guarding it so I ran..." she sighed. The path Carrissa was in could go west, east, or north
[2009-11-16 23:04:21] <Maya> "...why would the spirits do that?" Maya questionned slowly, trying to piece whatever she could understand. "Could you tell us about the artifact?"
[2009-11-16 23:04:22] * Johanne clenched her fist tightly. "So that's why... So that's why he's an /orphan/?"
[2009-11-16 23:06:35] <Thomas> 3 Pierce seemed more interested in answering Johanne, "The clergy cared not for Thomas, or the town. Their own interests. Helen laid a curse upon them...And rightfully so." he answered Maya next, "Well some spirits just aren't very nice that's all...And of the artifact? Couldn't tell ya. Never seen it."
[2009-11-16 23:07:00] <Nyssa> "So...what's with the freak show, then?"
[2009-11-16 23:07:32] <Thomas> 3 Pierce flashed fatigues, "No one invited you."
[2009-11-16 23:08:55] <Johanne> "Do you know what kind of curse she laid on them?" She brought a gloved hand up to her mouth and bit at the material to tighten it again.
[2009-11-16 23:09:26] <Maya> "So master Thomas' mother indeed did put the curse upon them...however the reason we heard seemed to have been wrong, perhaps due to the age of the information." Maya went into thought. "When the moon is out, villagers who are outside tend to dissapear..."
[2009-11-16 23:10:14] <Carrissa> "Well, a monster simply can't just take a doll, it should at least ask to share first..." Carrissa put one hand in her pocket and kept the other on the girl's head, heading east. "What's your name? I'm Carrissa!" she beamed. "'Carrie', 'Risa', anything's fine~"
[2009-11-16 23:10:21] * Maya gives some thought as to where they may dissapear...

[2009-11-16 23:12:12] <Thomas> 3 "Oh, that bit is true. Immediately after she died though, the flame seemed to trail it's way to the church and set it alight. And every night when the moon is in sight, if someone walks through the plaza where she was burned they disappear. Some say their bones wind up in the locked-up house not far from the carlyle estate..."
[2009-11-16 23:13:04] <Nyssa> "...Hm." Nyssa sighed. "So...can we break this curse?"
[2009-11-16 23:13:26] <Thomas> 4 "My name's Leslie..." the girl nodded, walking with Carrissa, "What'll we do if we find the monster?"
[2009-11-16 23:13:45] <Thomas> 3Pierce shrugged, "Why would you?"
[2009-11-16 23:13:51] <Thomas> 3 "And I don't know."
[2009-11-16 23:14:17] <Maya> "The 7Locked up house." Maya repeated, she had learnt quite a bit here...but did it have anything to do with Alex and his father? Or was this just a legacy he left behind? "You've never seen the artifact, do you at least know where it's general location is?"
[2009-11-16 23:15:12] <Thomas> 3 "Oh...Center of the maze. Going over and going through is foolish. But there is a way to trick the maze if you have four people."
[2009-11-16 23:15:54] <Johanne> "Right. See you all at the center." Johanne nodded and then walked off.
[2009-11-16 23:16:14] <Maya> "A trick?" Maya asked, grabbing Johanne's arm.
[2009-11-16 23:16:29] * Carrissa rustled Leslie's hair and pulled her in close. "Well, first we'll have to ask it about getting your doll back! Otherwise... don't worry about it~"
[2009-11-16 23:16:51] * Johanne groaned as she stood by, why didn't she just walk ahead?
[2009-11-16 23:16:58] <Nyssa> "Really? How?"
[2009-11-16 23:17:22] <Thomas> 4 "O-Ok..." Leslie hugged onto Carrissa a bit
[2009-11-16 23:17:51] <Thomas> 4 The path stretched on before coming to another fork. West, East, North.
[2009-11-16 23:18:39] <Nyssa> "..."
[2009-11-16 23:20:00] <Thomas> 3 "You all find a path with a fork going east or north only. Then one go back the way you came, one go east, one stay put, the path may open."
[2009-11-16 23:20:25] <Thomas> one go north*
[2009-11-16 23:21:11] <Maya> "Johanne, could you take note of that?" Maya wondered if Johanne could perhaps write it...on one of her bandages.
[2009-11-16 23:21:13] <Johanne> "I'm going to say now I don't trust his directions. He's never seen the entrance!"
[2009-11-16 23:21:25] <Thomas> 6 A large rose formed out of the wall over Pierce, "Did you spoil the whole thing? You did, didn't you?"
[2009-11-16 23:21:40] <Thomas> 3 "They just want to help little Thomas..."
[2009-11-16 23:21:54] * Carrissa continues going east without a care, whistling slightly
[2009-11-16 23:21:57] <Thomas> 6 "Hmph. They'll just get killed by Roscoe."
[2009-11-16 23:22:13] <Thomas> 6 The rose faded, "Gotta go."
[2009-11-16 23:22:36] <Thomas> 3 Pierce sighed, flushing blue

[2009-11-16 23:22:47] * Johanne shrugged. "Sure..."
[2009-11-16 23:23:13] <Thomas> 4 Leslie whistled along, when suddenly they heard a buzzing noise...It was getting louder...
[2009-11-16 23:24:24] <Maya> "Well, we should move on. Hopefully we may be able to find Carrissa on our way to the center..." Maya mumbled, "...or perhaps we should turn back?" she looked over to Johanne and Nyssa.
[2009-11-16 23:25:25] <Johanne> "I still don't trust him." She crossed her arms and walked forward.
[2009-11-16 23:25:28] <Thomas> 3 Pierce yawned, "The maze'll be here of course. Do what you will." Pierce flushed green
[2009-11-16 23:26:26] * Maya sighed, "Thank you for your help Sir Pierce." she bowed once and followed behind Johanne.
[2009-11-16 23:26:48] <Thomas> 3 "Good luck~!" Pierce flushed transparent, and was gone
[2009-11-16 23:27:07] * Carrissa kept going for a bit, then slowed slightly. "Hmm?"
[2009-11-16 23:27:31] <Thomas> 4 Hornets! Hundreds of them!
[2009-11-16 23:27:41] <Thomas> 4 "A-Ahh!" Leslie cried
[2009-11-16 23:28:43] <Thomas> 3 Johanne found the next fork, north and west- north was lined with red roses while west was white roses.
[2009-11-16 23:29:35] <Johanne> "Tch... There are two paths here. Can anyone tell the difference between north and south?"
[2009-11-16 23:29:48] <Johanne> "I can't make heads or tails from in here."
[2009-11-16 23:30:29] <Nyssa> "Uh..." Nyssa pulls out a compass. "THis help?"
[2009-11-16 23:30:47] * Maya turns to Nyssa, "I believe so, please act as our guide."
[2009-11-16 23:30:49] <Johanne> "Ah, yes..."
[2009-11-16 23:31:11] <Johanne> "Now... he said north and east earlier? Was it South and East?"
[2009-11-16 23:31:44] <Nyssa> "Alright..." Nyssa begins moving by the compass' directions.
[2009-11-16 23:36:09] <Carrissa> "A-Ahh!" Carrissa mimiced very briefly on instinct--they had been whistling together just a moment ago--before roundly stepping in front of Leslie and flicking a match from her pocket into the ground in front of them, a widening barrier of fire rising between the pair and the oncoming swarm before flaring out forward to engulf the swarm!
[2009-11-16 23:37:11] <Thomas> 4 Leslie held on, "W-Woow!"
[2009-11-16 23:37:15] <Nyssa> "I think he said north and east."
[2009-11-16 23:37:39] * Johanne nodded...
[2009-11-16 23:38:02] * Maya nodded as well.
[2009-11-16 23:38:47] <Maya> "Let's go to the west in that case." Maya pointed in a direction, "Does that sound alright?"
[2009-11-16 23:40:23] <Nyssa> "
[2009-11-16 23:40:34] <Johanne> "Then one will have to walk back..."
[2009-11-16 23:41:04] * Maya nods, "...however, we're lacking a 4th party..." she realized the flaw...
[2009-11-16 23:41:08] <Nyssa> "So who's doing what?"
[2009-11-16 23:41:35] * Carrissa waited for the thrilling, brief roar to fully erase any hint of buzzing, before the fire started choking away, vanishing into smokey wisps. She patted Leslie's shoulder with a smile!
[2009-11-16 23:42:01] <Johanne> "...I only remember directions for three."
[2009-11-16 23:42:23] <Thomas> 4 "Maybe you could even kill the monster..." Leslie nodded
[2009-11-16 23:44:33] <Maya> "One go back the way we came, one go east, one go north and one stay put he said..." Maya repeated.
[2009-11-16 23:44:51] <Carrissa> "Oho, you think so? Well, I hope it doesn't come to that, but...sometimes dragons have to roast some knights here and there!"
[2009-11-16 23:45:17] <Thomas> 4 "I thought you were the knight..." Leslie was confused
[2009-11-16 23:45:36] <Nyssa> "I can stay put, I guess...you guys need a compass?"
[2009-11-16 23:47:01] <Johanne> "Nope." Johanne simply went for the side with the white roses rather than waiting on an answer.
[2009-11-16 23:47:17] <Maya> "Well no, first we need to find the right intersection right?" Maya sighed, shaking her head. "I'd much prefer it if Carrissa were here...however I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try it nonetheless?" Maya went to the 7west.
[2009-11-16 23:47:30] <Carrissa> "Eh? But dragons are much more heroic, aren't they!" Carrissa had an excited look on her face.
[2009-11-16 23:48:03] <Thomas> 4 "Nuh uh!" Leslie didn't seem to agree
[2009-11-16 23:48:08] <Nyssa> "Alright..."
[2009-11-16 23:48:33] <Thomas> 4 Maya did indeed hear Carrissa nearby!
[2009-11-16 23:48:45] <Thomas> 4 Must be just around the corner..
[2009-11-16 23:48:49] <Carrissa> "Yeah huh!"
[2009-11-16 23:48:58] * Maya 's ears twitch, she runs up ahead! "Carrissa?"
[2009-11-16 23:49:17] <Nyssa> "Caaaaaaaaarrrrrrriiiiisa?!" Nyssa yells.
[2009-11-16 23:49:35] <Johanne> "Idiot?"
[2009-11-16 23:50:16] <Thomas> 4 A trapdoor opened up from the ground, a spider with a rose on it's back popped out and snatched up Maya!
[2009-11-16 23:50:46] <Thomas> 4 Carrissa heard the fellow maids yelling!
[2009-11-16 23:51:03] <Maya> "Gyah!!" Maya was caught completely off guard! The spider had her in it's grip!
[2009-11-16 23:53:03] * Johanne growled in response and ran forward to grab onto Maya. "Come on, we've got better things to do than to fall for traps!"
[2009-11-16 23:53:19] <Maya> "R-right!" Maya held on tight!
[2009-11-16 23:53:44] <Thomas> 4 The spider reared up, ready to fight!
[2009-11-16 23:54:11] * Carrissa tilted her head to the side. "?" she put her other hand on Leslie's head and stopped. "Was that Maya and the others? Hey, Leslie, I think my friends are around here~ C'mon, let's try and find them!"
[2009-11-16 23:54:44] * Carrissa began stepping around to figure out where the calls were coming from!
[2009-11-16 23:55:30] <Thomas> 4 Leslie seemed to slink away, Carrissa came around to see the maids fighting a spider
[2009-11-16 23:55:56] * Nyssa aimed carefully and fired her grenade, but it missed, slamming into the maze!
[2009-11-16 23:59:00] * Maya summoned up a cluster of bats and send them flying towards the spider! But as luck would have it, her bats flake out and simply fly back to her, not knowing what to do.
[2009-11-17 00:00:20] * Johanne with nothing else at her disposal, charged in and sent a quick series of jabs at the spider.
[2009-11-17 00:01:27] <Thomas> 4 The spider parried the blows, striking back with its forelegs
[2009-11-17 00:05:14] <Thomas> 4 The spider lashed at Carr with a wide margin miss
[2009-11-17 00:05:17] <Carrissa> "Hey, what's going on? Maya, are you okay!" Carrissa rushed to help her friends, conjuring a simple fireball to toss at the spider, this one breaking into a whirling trio of smaller ones by the time it reached the spider!
[2009-11-17 00:06:38] <Thomas> 4 The spider shrieked, the attack was effective!
[2009-11-17 00:08:24] <Nyssa> "Yes!"
[2009-11-17 00:08:31] <Nyssa> "Nice shot, Carrissa!"
[2009-11-17 00:10:18] <Maya> "Ugh..." Maya dispelled her bats. "Good work Miss Carrissa!" she cheered, looks like she was just fine after all!
[2009-11-17 00:10:31] * Nyssa joined in as she fired her own machine gun fire.
[2009-11-17 00:11:44] <Thomas> 4 The spider limped forward a bit more and withered like a dead plant.
[2009-11-17 00:11:59] <Carrissa> "Ahaha, thanks! I just got worried, what happened to you three? Leslie, these are my friends~"
[2009-11-17 00:11:59] <Thomas> 6 "Good job~" the rose face appeared again
[2009-11-17 00:12:11] <Thomas> 4 Leslie was gone
[2009-11-17 00:12:24] * Carrissa looked around. "Eh?"
[2009-11-17 00:12:38] <Maya> "Leslie?"
[2009-11-17 00:12:50] * Maya wondered who Carrissa was talking about.
[2009-11-17 00:13:08] * Johanne kicked the spider's corpse. "Yep."
[2009-11-17 00:13:31] <Thomas> 6 "The little girl who died in the maze~ poor thing...No one has the heart to tell her she died." the rose face spoke
[2009-11-17 00:14:09] * Carrissa looked around more. "Leslie? It's saa~afe, I'm over here!" Carrissa put her hands on her hips--and she turned towards the voice. "Eh?"
[2009-11-17 00:14:30] <Johanne> "I've got tears in my eyes. Let's go."
[2009-11-17 00:14:40] <Nyssa> Nyssa reloaded her weapon again. "I wish we could lift this curse..."
[2009-11-17 00:14:58] <Maya> "The spirit of the girl who dissapeared?" Maya repeated, checking her wounds, they were still minor.
[2009-11-17 00:15:17] <Thomas> 6 "I was going to help...But if canvasface there doesn't want it that's fine."
[2009-11-17 00:16:29] <Maya> "Johanne..." Maya gave her a pleading look.
[2009-11-17 00:16:54] <Nyssa> "...alright. Let's go."
[2009-11-17 00:17:31] <Johanne> "...She's only bluffing! Hmph." She folded her arms and looked at the rose face in the eye. "What help would we need?"
[2009-11-17 00:18:52] <Thomas> 6 The rose yawned, "I was going to let you through to the center. Roscoe said there were aphids on my roses and there aren't! The brute...If I let you take the artifact he'd throw a hissy fit~"
[2009-11-17 00:20:36] <Maya> "Could you lead us?" Maya asked, nudging Johanne. "We'd really appreciate it!"
[2009-11-17 00:21:01] <Johanne> "Yeah, I guess..."
[2009-11-17 00:22:27] <Thomas> 4 The hedge opened up to reveal a black book in a bird's nest..."Be careful who grabs it..." the rose warned, "I'd pick...The vampire to take it."
[2009-11-17 00:23:03] <Maya> "Eh?" Maya blinked...she didn't like the sound of that...
[2009-11-17 00:24:18] <Nyssa> "...Why?"
[2009-11-17 00:24:52] <Johanne> "Let's get this over with before the hedge maze collapses on us."
[2009-11-17 00:25:07] <Thomas> 4 "It'll be apparent upon picking it up."
[2009-11-17 00:25:54] <Maya> "R-right..." Maya wasn't going to back down, especially not after putting the others in so much danger...she moved closer to the 7nest.
[2009-11-17 00:26:28] <Thomas> 4 The fluttering of wings could be heard approaching, "Hurry!" the rose urged
[2009-11-17 00:27:20] * Maya floated forward quickly and took hold of the black book. She quickly slipped it inside her apron.
[2009-11-17 00:27:36] <Maya> "..." Maya looked around carefully...
[2009-11-17 00:29:56] <Thomas> 4 The bird shrieked overhead, the maze moved to give a straight-shot out of the maze
[2009-11-17 00:31:27] <Thomas> 4 "Go on, get out!" the rose urgeds
[2009-11-17 00:31:50] <Nyssa> "Ugh. WE need to burn this place when we get out."
[2009-11-17 00:31:57] <Johanne> "Go, go!"
[2009-11-17 00:32:47] * Maya runs off towards the opening!
[2009-11-17 00:33:08] * Carrissa lingered and looked at the rose. "So Leslie's just a spirit? What about her doll?" she asked while looking back into the maze a bit.
[2009-11-17 00:33:44] <Thomas> 4 A black bird twice the size of an eagle appeared overhead
[2009-11-17 00:34:55] <Thomas> 4 The bird's eyes connect with Carrissa's for a moment and it strikes to her very core a base fear of the unkown
[2009-11-17 00:35:00] * Johanne turned on her heel halfway to the exit. "W-what are you doing back there, you idiot! Come on!"
[2009-11-17 00:35:41] * Carrissa looked up and up and stared at the bird for just a little bit extra... a shiver ran down her back and she began running out past the other. "Bye!!"
[2009-11-17 00:36:18] * Johanne glared daggers at Carrissa as she ran.
[2009-11-17 00:36:33] <Thomas> 4 The vines tried to hold back the bird but it only served to slow it, shrieking loudly it beared down and chased Carrissa out before being stopped at the gate by the collapsing maze
[2009-11-17 00:36:53] * Carrissa skidded around a corner, kicking up some dirt and tried to smile at Jo, but it may have come off more than slightly terrified.
[2009-11-17 00:37:04] * Thomas was in the kitchen wondering where the maids went~
[2009-11-17 00:38:35] * Johanne gave Carrissa a disapproving glare as she held her knees and panted. "Coulda... gotten... killed... idiot!" She steamed.
[2009-11-17 00:39:00] <Nyssa> "..."
[2009-11-17 00:39:19] * Maya simply clutched the book, panting lightly.
[2009-11-17 00:39:38] * Carrissa thumped her divot-making shoes off at the door and pounded her feet up the stairs, not bothering to swerve by Thomas for a 'hi' before she jumped into her room and slammed the door shut.
[2009-11-17 00:40:38] * Thomas perked up, "H-Huh?" an apron on him and a smatter of eggwhite over the bridge of his nose. He was a messy cook.
[2009-11-17 00:41:01] * Carrissa paused, breathing heavily against it for a moment before locking it, rummaging into her bag and pulling out her small lantern. She lit it and sat on the floor next to it, staring intently at it until it slowly burnt down.
[2009-11-17 00:41:50] * Johanne entered the mansion, not really sure of what else to do. Oh, wait. "I've got garden all over me, I'm taking a bath..."
[2009-11-17 00:42:17] * Johanne headed upstairs to the 7bathroom.
[2009-11-17 00:42:27] <Nyssa> "I think...I'm going to...uhm..."
[2009-11-17 00:43:50] <Thomas> "H-Hello? Hello..?" Thomas looked about, finally hearing some activity in the house from his spot in the kitchen
[2009-11-17 00:45:03] <Maya> "I'm going back inside." Maya replied and wasted no time heading down to 7Alex's room. Passing by Thomas with a strange look on her face...
[2009-11-17 00:46:36] <Thomas> "M-Miss Maya I...!" Thomas looked excited but his ears drooped as Maya walked by, "Oh.."
[2009-11-17 00:46:48] <Thomas> 4 Alex looked up, "Hmm?"
[2009-11-17 00:47:28] * Maya takes the book out and slams it on the desk. "W-what is this thing!?" she cried out, sweating lightly.
[2009-11-17 00:48:14] <Thomas> 4 Alex picks it up, "...Black heralds from Death's door!? Where did you get this!" Alex dropped the book like it was on fire
[2009-11-17 00:48:21] * Johanne sighed as she dipped into the bathwater and did bath things.
[2009-11-17 00:50:13] * Nyssa appears near Thomas. "Uh...hi."
[2009-11-17 00:50:33] * Thomas went back to cooking "H-Hi miss Nyssa. I was wondering if everyone was ignoring me.."
[2009-11-17 00:50:49] <Maya> "T-the hedge maze..." Maya answered, "We found it in the center...the spirit told me I should pick it up..." she muttered, still sweating and lookin as if she were in pain.
[2009-11-17 00:52:54] <Thomas> 4 Alex breathed out and took a seat, "I read about it. Owned by this mansion's previous owner. Father bought the mansion for that very reason. Mum found the book first though and reinforced the magic around the maze...I'd need to read the book to know the significance...But I'm hesitant to read it truthfully..."
[2009-11-17 00:56:06] <Maya> "W-why?!" Maya asked, she coughed as if she were sick. "Ever since I picked it up...I've felt different..."
[2009-11-17 00:59:05] <Thomas> 4 "It...Corrupts you in moments of weakness...You may lose your inhibitions pursuing your desires...It can be dangerous if you don't have strong willpower..."
[2009-11-17 00:59:07] <Nyssa> "Yeah...uhm..."
[2009-11-17 00:59:11] <Nyssa> "That hedge maze."
[2009-11-17 00:59:22] * Thomas tilts his head, "What about it?"
[2009-11-17 00:59:34] <Nyssa> "Well, I think we should burn it."
[2009-11-17 01:00:06] <Thomas> "N-No!"
[2009-11-17 01:00:20] <Maya> "W-well apparently I'm not strong enough..." Maya muttered, "W-what should I do?"
[2009-11-17 01:00:42] <Nyssa> "You sure? I can plant a much nicer garden in it's ashes...."
[2009-11-17 01:01:14] <Thomas> 4 "Uhm...Tell one of the other maids so they can keep you in line if you start to lose yourself...Or become stronger."
[2009-11-17 01:01:29] <Thomas> "No!" Thomas pouted
[2009-11-17 01:01:46] <Nyssa> "Fiiiiiiine..."
[2009-11-17 01:02:07] <Nyssa> "Just a recommendation, is all."
[2009-11-17 01:02:21] <Thomas> "Hmph! I-I made dinner. Chicken consomme...So...Tell the others and set the table please."
[2009-11-17 01:02:58] <Maya> "Become stronger...?" Maya asked, "Will I get another chance at pushing this feeling away?"
[2009-11-17 01:03:14] <Nyssa> "Alright..." Nyssa pulled a whistle out of her dress and moved away from Thomas before blowing it. "DIIIIIIIIIIINEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR!~"
[2009-11-17 01:04:05] * Johanne had conveniently finished her bath and changed just as Nyssa called out. "There are better ways to call dinner!"
[2009-11-17 01:04:29] <Thomas> 4 Alex nodded, "It'll be there, and it'll be hard to distinguish from your own thoughts, like when you're in a bad mood. You just need to keep a level head." Alex gingerly flipped through the first few pages
[2009-11-17 01:05:01] <Thomas> 4 "Be careful about letting others read it, or they have to do the same."
[2009-11-17 01:05:15] <Maya> "R-right..." Maya muttered, "What about you?"
[2009-11-17 01:05:24] <Thomas> 4 "It doesn't seem to affect me..." Alex shook his head
[2009-11-17 01:06:03] <Maya> "Can't you keep it in that case?"
[2009-11-17 01:06:18] * Johanne grumbled as she rewrapped a bandage around her head on her way downstairs to the 7dining room.
[2009-11-17 01:06:23] <Thomas> 4 "Sure. I'll keep reading it for clues in the meantime, Maya."
[2009-11-17 01:06:44] * Thomas took a seat in the dining room, "H-Hi miss Johanne!"
[2009-11-17 01:07:04] * Nyssa sat down in the dining room as well, satisfying with her call.
[2009-11-17 01:07:11] <Nyssa> satisfied*
[2009-11-17 01:07:27] <Maya> "Thank you..." Maya tried to calm herself and went back upstairs to the 7dining room.
[2009-11-17 01:07:48] <Johanne> "Oh, Master... Are you enjoying your mother's birthday?" Johanne moved over to take a seat.
[2009-11-17 01:08:13] <Thomas> "I-I hope you all enjoy dinner...Huh, how did ya know?" Thomas looked surprised
[2009-11-17 01:09:03] <Johanne> "Call it my maidly intuition." She cut into her dinner and took a bite.
[2009-11-17 01:09:42] <Nyssa> "Yay, dinner!" Nyssa smiled. "Oooh...maybe I should make chocolate chip cookies for dessert."
[2009-11-17 01:10:02] <Thomas> "Wooow!" Thomas was thoroughly impressed, wagging his tail, "Well...It was pretty quiet for some reason today! So I just painted a picture of mother and did some reading. Cookies? That sounds nice."
[2009-11-17 01:12:25] * Johanne cleared her throat as she ate. "Who made this?"
[2009-11-17 01:12:42] * Carrissa watched the light vanish and took a deep breath, clearing her head. She put the lamp away before jumping up and opening the door, hopping down the stairs three at a time before wheeling into the dining room and hopped into a chair "How's everyone feeling now?"
[2009-11-17 01:13:03] <Thomas> "I-I made it!" Thomas nodded
[2009-11-17 01:13:13] <Thomas> "Mom's favorite..."
[2009-11-17 01:13:21] <Thomas> "Good miss Carrissa."
[2009-11-17 01:14:00] <Nyssa> "They're really good, Thomas."
[2009-11-17 01:14:05] * Maya manages to remain calm, she eats a few cookies quietly.
[2009-11-17 01:14:11] <Thomas> "Thanks"
[2009-11-17 01:14:14] <Maya> "Y-yes...delicious..."
[2009-11-17 01:14:15] <Thomas> !*
[2009-11-17 01:14:19] <Johanne> "Oh, really? ...She would have loved them, I think." Johanne took another bite, thoughtfully.
[2009-11-17 01:14:57] <Thomas> "Uh huh!" Thomas smiled, finishing his soup, "It took me awhile to cook all this by myself...I'm pretty tired."
[2009-11-17 01:17:18] <Johanne> "You should sleep in the garden, under the stars... A-and I suppose since it would be terrible to leave you out there on your own, I'll have to accompany you."
[2009-11-17 01:17:31] <Carrissa> "You made it, Boyo?" Carrissa took a spoonful, then three or four more before she reported it as "Oh, well done! It's great. You can relax now, you've got maids to take care of you when you're tired!" Carrissa thumped the back end of her spoon on the table lightly with cheerful punctuation.
[2009-11-17 01:17:37] * Johanne nodded to herself, as if saying "naturally".
[2009-11-17 01:18:03] <Thomas> "Huh? Well ok...T-Thanks Carrissa! I was wondering where you all were today...I like having all of you in my home." he smiled
[2009-11-17 01:18:20] * Thomas hopped out of his seat, "I'll go grab some sleeping bags!"
[2009-11-17 01:19:03] * Johanne chewed on her spoon in thought.
[2009-11-17 01:19:54] <Nyssa> "Oh, thank you." Nyssa said.
[2009-11-17 01:20:11] * Thomas ran off
[2009-11-17 01:20:41] * Maya sniffs...
[2009-11-17 01:21:18] * Maya finishes her meal and gets up, "...I'll go back to my room for tonight..."
[2009-11-17 01:21:19] * Johanne stood up. "Could you prepare those cookies like you said, then?" She looked down at Nyssa before heading for the door.
[2009-11-17 01:21:51] * Thomas quickly returned with some supplies, waiting for Johanne
[2009-11-17 01:22:11] * Maya floats upstairs instead.
[2009-11-17 01:22:17] * Thomas headed out to the garden, laying out some sleeping bags
[2009-11-17 01:23:02] * Carrissa didn't rush off after Thomas because it would be rude to not finish her soup! "Boyo, who's all coming? Ho, Maya! Join u--... Hum. Jo, what do you think?"
[2009-11-17 01:23:31] * Johanne made to follow, but, "What do you mean?"
[2009-11-17 01:24:59] * Maya goes to her room and begins...to ransack the empty room.
[2009-11-17 01:25:11] <Carrissa> "I thought your idea was good! So let's all do it!"
[2009-11-17 01:26:12] * Thomas busied himself with setting up a tent, the 'roof' of it a see-through mesh to keep out bugs but allow a view of the sky
[2009-11-17 01:26:19] <Johanne> "W-wha-all of...!?" Johanne was almost caught in shock, before regaining her composure. "Y-yes, of course... I thought the Master would like it."
[2009-11-17 01:26:58] * Maya grabs the hedge of her mattress and suddenly draws out her cat like claws and begins tearing into it. "HYAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!" she yells, unable to control herself anymore.
[2009-11-17 01:30:06] * Maya swiftly tosses whatever remains off the beddings into a wall and grabs the nearby lamp to slam it against the door. She screams, she flails, she scratches whatever is within range and throws whatever cannot be significantly damaged by her claws beyond the walls and the doors. The entire time, she manages to keep away from the window as to not break it...
[2009-11-17 01:30:47] |<-- Thomas has left irc.thisisnotatrueending.com (Ping timeout)
[2009-11-17 01:31:39] -->| Thomas (fuck@1C8A9C8A.9400C69F.51B045F.IP) has joined #MAIDRP
[2009-11-17 01:31:51] * Johanne stomped her foot at all the noise! "What is going on up there!" With a snarl, she left the dining room and headed upstairs to the source of all the carnage.
[2009-11-17 01:32:18] * Thomas settled into a sleeping bag in the tent with a yawn
[2009-11-17 01:34:12] * Nyssa walks into the kitchen and then arrives is warm, fresh cookies.
[2009-11-17 01:34:28] * Johanne shoved aside the door to Maya's room and looked inward harshly. "What do you think you are you doing?"
[2009-11-17 01:35:00] * Maya begins flying from one corner of the room to the next in a blind rage, hitting the walls and the ceiling with her body weight. She began to tear up and as soon as she saw the door open, she flew toward it and slammed it shut again, tossing Johanne back out.
[2009-11-17 01:35:13] <Maya> "N-nothing..." she stated feebly.
[2009-11-17 01:36:49] * Johanne made a pathetic attempt to open the door again. "Do you take me for an idiot? What were you doing in there?"
[2009-11-17 01:38:22] * Carrissa swipes a cookie and munches it. "Mmm...~"
[2009-11-17 01:38:32] <Maya> "N-nothing at all!" Maya had finally calmed down after her outburst, the room was in shambles of course, ripped clothes, broken lamps and claw marks everywhere. "I'm sorry for the noise...I...dropped a lamp." she tried lying.
[2009-11-17 01:38:46] <Carrissa> "Where'd you get the idea, Nys?"
[2009-11-17 01:39:56] * Johanne huffed for a moment before leaning against the door. "...That was a loud lamp... Do you need help cleaning it?"
[2009-11-17 01:41:37] <Maya> "Not at all Miss Johanne, I will clean it up myself when I wake up tomorrow...please return to spend the night with Master Thomas, tonight is special to him is it not?" Maya kept a hand against the door to make sure she wouldn't try to come back in, though she figured that wasn't going to happen anyways..
[2009-11-17 01:42:31] * Johanne growled. "Cut it out and get a sleeping bag, we're all going to be sleeping with him anyway."
[2009-11-17 01:43:08] <Johanne> "That... was an order." The sounds of footsteps dying away indicated Johanne's departure from the other side of the door.
[2009-11-17 01:43:35] * Thomas curled up in his sleeping bag, having some difficulty staying awake
[2009-11-17 01:44:32] <Maya> "I can't..." Maya didn't want to run the risk of taking out her ra---, "An order..." she didn't know what to do now. "Right..." she locked her door and opened the window to fly out to the garden...
[2009-11-17 01:46:06] * Thomas sat up hearing Maya, "Hi.." he yawned
[2009-11-17 01:46:12] * Johanne headed back to her room for a stop and changed out of her maid uniform and into a pair of pajamas and sprayed herself with a bit of perfume. She remembered Thomas only brought sleeping bags and decided to carry the both of her pillows out. The maid headed out to the garden.
[2009-11-17 01:47:11] * Thomas immediately smelled perfurme, but he couldn't sleep close as usual with the other maids around or he'd embarass her, "H-Hi, Johanne."
[2009-11-17 01:47:16] <Thomas> perfume*
[2009-11-17 01:47:18] <Maya> "Umm...if you don't mind Master Thomas, I'd rather spend the night in my room...I'm a vampire and well..." this wasn't entirely a lie at the very least.
[2009-11-17 01:47:39] <Thomas> "Huh? Oh, yeah you'll be exposed to the sun in the morning! Y-You can go!"
[2009-11-17 01:47:54] * Thomas nodded, "Did you find anything interesting today?"
[2009-11-17 01:48:05] * Johanne smiled slightly as she tossed a pillow at Thomas' lap.
[2009-11-17 01:48:19] * Maya looks to Johanne for a moment before floating back to the window of her room and shutting the window.
[2009-11-17 01:48:54] <Nyssa> "They any good? It's a new recipe I know..."
[2009-11-17 01:49:29] * Thomas nabbed a pillow, laying back down, "I don't think I can stay up for a story tonight..." he yawned.
[2009-11-17 01:49:54] * Johanne watched Maya go... "No, I don't think I could either. The story... will be in the stars then."
[2009-11-17 01:50:56] * Thomas smiled a bit, hugging Johanne, "Good night then miss Johanne..."
[2009-11-17 01:51:48] * Johanne patted Thomas behind an ear. "Sleep tight," and carefully she headed to her own sleeping bag.
[2009-11-17 01:52:32] <Maya> "...mommy..." Maya whimpered in whatever was left of her bed...what she wouldn't have given to have what Thomas had right now whenever the anniversary of her mother's day arrived...and now, she could barely recall when that day was...or what she even looked like when she was still young...for a second, she contemplate killing him...it was best for her to sleep alone tonight...
[2009-11-17 01:52:36] * Carrissa munched some more, not really knowing to hold back or eat them slowly. "A-a little hot an' sticky! They're good...~ The others seem tired, though, maybe we should save them for later."
[2009-11-17 01:53:04] <Thomas> Thomas's ears flattened, in his own sleeping bag he couldn't be close to Johanne...And she smelled really good...Thomas wriggled in his sleeping bag a bit closer and soon fell fast asleep, smelling cinammon and the herbs in the garden.
[2009-11-17 01:53:32] <Maya> "Not that it makes a difference..." she muttered, peeking out by the window for a second at the others before trying to go to bed in her own locked room.
[2009-11-17 01:54:51] <Nyssa> "Alright...glad you like them, Carrissa."
[2009-11-17 01:55:20] * Nyssa yawned and stretched out. "IN any case, I'll package up the rest and head to bed...night all."
[2009-11-17 01:56:11] * Johanne noted the closeness of Thomas's sleeping bag and partially unzipped hers. Soon an arm slipped out and wrapped across the top of Thomas's sleeping bag.
[2009-11-17 01:58:49] =-= YOU are now known as Paisleep
[2009-11-17 01:58:53] * Carrissa nodded, she should learn how to make them, too... "Ah, Nys, goodnight!" Carrissa was definitely going to go sleep next to her bicycle tonight, she'd just grab a spare cover from her room. She'd wake up to the warm morning rays of that ball of blazing fire in the sky, and it would be a good day!
