[2012-06-02 19:56:44] * [Mirr]_Suzuran runs through the garden chasing butterflies, her uniform is covered in dirt and grass stains
[2012-06-02 19:57:01] <Bomb_Spammer> Goddammit get back here you pint-sized feline slut
[2012-06-02 19:57:20] * [Multi]_Nataku regards her fondly through a window.
[2012-06-02 19:57:47] <[Multi]_Nataku> Oh...She's so adorable.
[2012-06-02 19:58:44] <[Multi]_Nataku> I don't suppose Ojou-sama is going to appreciate what she's doing to that uniform, though. I suppose I'll have to clean it.
[2012-06-02 19:59:31] * [Mirr]_Suzuran seems completely unaware of the flowers underfoot as she continues her attempt at catching a single large butterfly
[2012-06-02 20:00:09] <[Multi]_Nataku> Mmmm. That's going to cause problems.
[2012-06-02 20:00:40] * [Multi]_Nataku goes to the nearest door and calls to Suzuran:
[2012-06-02 20:00:56] <[Multi]_Nataku> Suzuran! You should watch your step. You're trampling ojou-sama's garden!
[2012-06-02 20:02:23] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> Hmm? The flowers?
[2012-06-02 20:02:41] <[Multi]_Nataku> Of course. You should be careful; you know how she gets angry.
[2012-06-02 20:03:03] * [Mirr]_Suzuran looks at the trampled flowers under her feet
[2012-06-02 20:04:08] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> Oh no, she's going to...she's going to be so mad at me!
[2012-06-02 20:05:00] <[Multi]_Nataku> Indeed. I don't think there's much we can do to repair this damage.
[2012-06-02 20:05:22] * [Mirr]_Suzuran 's former cheer is utterly gone, replaced with a look of teary eyed despair
[2012-06-02 20:05:55] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> What am I going to do?
[2012-06-02 20:06:21] <[Multi]_Nataku> Well, first of all, we should get you in here and cleaned up. She won't be happy about that uniform of yours, either
[2012-06-02 20:07:09] <[Multi]_Nataku> The flowers are beyond my power to repair, I think. It looks like you crumpled their stems pretty well.
[2012-06-02 20:07:35] * [Mirr]_Suzuran covers her cat-like ears with her hands and stares up at Nataku.  She looks like she's about to cry.
[2012-06-02 20:08:36] <[Multi]_Nataku> We can try to set them by tying them to some sticks, but...
[2012-06-02 20:08:37] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> I...I just wanted to play outside...
[2012-06-02 20:08:55] <[Multi]_Nataku> I know, Suzuran, but you have to be careful.
[2012-06-02 20:09:23] <[Multi]_Nataku> You probably shouldn't play near the gardens. There are some greener stretches around here that we can investigate later.
[2012-06-02 20:09:50] <[Multi]_Nataku> First thing's first, though; lets get that uniform of yours cleaned up. Here, let's go to the laundry room.
[2012-06-02 20:11:47] * [Mirr]_Suzuran her arms drop to her sides as she follows Nataku back inside
[2012-06-02 20:12:45] * [Multi]_Nataku leads Suzuran down to the laundy room.
[2012-06-02 20:13:05] <[Multi]_Nataku> Well then, Suzuran, let's get that uniform off.
[2012-06-02 20:13:20] * [Multi]_Nataku starts undressing Suzuran.
[2012-06-02 20:13:34] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> Ah? Right here?
[2012-06-02 20:13:41] <[Multi]_Nataku> Is there a problem?
[2012-06-02 20:15:11] * [Multi]_Nataku pauses in her work to hear Suzuran out.
[2012-06-02 20:15:20] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> Last time I did this Ayano told me I shouldn't change in front of some one...
[2012-06-02 20:15:42] <[Multi]_Nataku> Really? Well, don't worry about that, we're just cleaning your uniform. Do you have a spare?
[2012-06-02 20:16:12] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> I...I think so...maybe
[2012-06-02 20:16:37] <[Multi]_Nataku> Well, why don't you run and get it before we put this old thing in the wash.
[2012-06-02 20:19:23] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> Okay, I'll go look for one
[2012-06-02 20:20:01] * [Mirr]_Suzuran runs out of the room returning quite some time later still wearing her dirty uniform with a ball of clothes in her arms
[2012-06-02 20:20:29] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> I found one!
[2012-06-02 20:21:31] <[Multi]_Nataku> Excellent! Well, let's get you out of your soiled uniform first.
[2012-06-02 20:21:58] * [Multi]_Nataku takes the clothes from Suzuran's arms and begins to take off the uniform Suzuran is currently wearing.
[2012-06-02 20:23:21] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> Ah, b-but Ayano said I shouldn't do this here...
[2012-06-02 20:24:51] <[Multi]_Nataku> Well, if you insist. You can go take your uniform off somewhere else, then come back here and we'll put it in the wash and get you something clean to wear. Does that sound good?
[2012-06-02 20:27:30] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> Okay, but...where can I change?
[2012-06-02 20:27:50] * [Mirr]_Suzuran gives the room a cursory glance
[2012-06-02 20:28:05] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> There's nothing for me to change behind...
[2012-06-02 20:28:56] <[Multi]_Nataku> I can just look away, if that's alright.
[2012-06-02 20:31:54] <[Multi]_Nataku> Or I could leave the room for a second, and you can call me in when you're done undressing.
[2012-06-02 20:31:54] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> Oh, umm...
[2012-06-02 20:32:02] * [Mirr]_Suzuran looks rather confused
[2012-06-02 20:32:24] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> I...I think that's okay...
[2012-06-02 20:32:49] <[Multi]_Nataku> Allright, then. Let me know when you're done.
[2012-06-02 20:33:01] * [Multi]_Nataku leaves the room, waiting just outside the door.
[2012-06-02 20:36:11] * [Mirr]_Suzuran opens the door again after a short few moments wearing nothing but her undergarments and her dirty clothes in her arms
[2012-06-02 20:36:44] <[Multi]_Nataku> Oh! Are you ready, then?
[2012-06-02 20:37:25] * [Mirr]_Suzuran gives Nataku a nod, her fresh change of uniform laying forgotten on the floor
[2012-06-02 20:38:34] * [Multi]_Nataku takes Suzuran back into the laundry room. She takes Suzuran's dirty uniform and puts it into a machine, which she activates. Then, she turns to the pile of clothes Suzuran left on the floor.
[2012-06-02 20:38:45] <[Multi]_Nataku> Well! Let's see what you've got here.
[2012-06-02 20:40:07] * [Mirr]_Suzuran watches as Nataku digs through what appears to be half a uniform and some clothes that wouldn't fit her
[2012-06-02 20:40:37] * [Multi]_Nataku holds some of them experimentally against Suzuran.
[2012-06-02 20:40:40] <[Multi]_Nataku> Hmmm...
[2012-06-02 20:40:52] <[Multi]_Nataku> Where did you get these, Suzuran?
[2012-06-02 20:43:34] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> From my room!
[2012-06-02 20:43:57] <[Multi]_Nataku> And how'd they get in there, I wonder?
[2012-06-02 20:46:39] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> How'd what get in there?
[2012-06-02 20:47:08] <[Multi]_Nataku> These clothes. Some of them wouldn't be a very good fit, it looks like. Do you wear all of these?
[2012-06-02 20:49:15] * [Mirr]_Suzuran finds other things around the room to look at while she answers
[2012-06-02 20:49:45] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> Y-yes, why would I have clothes that don't fit?
[2012-06-02 20:51:22] <[Multi]_Nataku> Well, that's what I was wondering. Well, little matter. Let's go up to your room.
[2012-06-02 20:54:28] * [Mirr]_Suzuran wraps her arms around herself
[2012-06-02 20:54:54] <[Multi]_Nataku> Is something the matter?
[2012-06-02 20:55:09] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> It's cold in here...
[2012-06-02 20:55:57] <[Multi]_Nataku> Well, then, let's hurry on up to your room and find you something to put on. The things we have here wouldn't pass inspection, I'm afraid...
[2012-06-02 20:56:23] * [Multi]_Nataku drapes a larger shirt over Suzuran's shoulders, then leads the way to the Maids' chambers.
[2012-06-02 21:01:51] * [Mirr]_Suzuran follows along.  She seems to be enjoying the slightly oversized shirt
[2012-06-02 21:02:15] * [Multi]_Nataku points: "This one is your room, right?"
[2012-06-02 21:05:23] * [Mirr]_Suzuran gives Nataku a cheerful nod
[2012-06-02 21:05:49] * [Multi]_Nataku enters Suzuran's room and looks around.
[2012-06-02 21:09:48] * [Mirr]_Suzuran 's room is a total mess, clothes lay strewn about the floor some seem to belong to some one else.  However, the red dress laying on her bed certainly does not belong to her
[2012-06-02 21:10:18] * [Multi]_Nataku 's brow twitches periodically.
[2012-06-02 21:10:23] <[Multi]_Nataku> Suzuran, I --
[2012-06-02 21:10:27] <[Multi]_Nataku> You don't mind if--
[2012-06-02 21:10:30] <[Multi]_Nataku> Would it--
[2012-06-02 21:10:33] <[Multi]_Nataku> Um.
[2012-06-02 21:10:55] <[Multi]_Nataku> I ... hope you wouldn't mind too much if I tidied up a bit?
[2012-06-02 21:12:16] * [Mirr]_Suzuran 's face is flushed a shade of pink
[2012-06-02 21:12:50] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> I...if you really want to...
[2012-06-02 21:13:25] <[Multi]_Nataku> Yes. Forgive my forwardness, but, it's just a bit... ah... distracting.
[2012-06-02 21:13:58] * [Multi]_Nataku 's brow is decidedly furrowed as she begins to try to organize the mess a bit. It does give her a chance to look over the things she has at her disposal.
[2012-06-02 21:14:26] <[Multi]_Nataku> Suzuran, what do you keep in your closet?
[2012-06-02 21:15:22] * [Mirr]_Suzuran shrugs and stares down at her feet
[2012-06-02 21:16:11] <[Multi]_Nataku> [[Having put the clothes into piles, Nataku opens the closet, looking for hangars, and finds out for herself.]]
[2012-06-02 21:17:14] <[Multi]_Nataku> Well, Suzuran, the closet is where clothes go when you're not wearing them. Your clean clothes get folded and put onto shelves or put onto hangars and hung up, and your dirty clothes go into a hamper so you can wash them later.
[2012-06-02 21:21:09] * [Multi]_Nataku folds what of Suzuran's can't be hung and puts it into the closet
[2012-06-02 21:22:05] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> But no one ever told me...
[2012-06-02 21:22:31] <[Multi]_Nataku> Well, Suzuran, I'm here to tell you now.
[2012-06-02 21:23:09] <[Multi]_Nataku> It's not your fault, but you do have to learn sometime, especially if you think okou-sama might ever come in here. She would be appalled at the mess that was in here.
[2012-06-02 21:23:43] * [Mirr]_Suzuran 's ears fall flat against her head
[2012-06-02 21:24:11] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> S-she wouldn't come in here!  I-if she...
[2012-06-02 21:24:52] * [Mirr]_Suzuran looks over at the dress on her bed and quickly stuffs it under the mattress
[2012-06-02 21:26:21] <[Multi]_Nataku> There's no telling what that woman might do. She acts like she owns the place, and she really DOES own the place, so there's not much we can do to contest it.
[2012-06-02 21:26:53] * [Multi]_Nataku surveys her handiwork.
[2012-06-02 21:26:53] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> Y-you don't think she'd just come in do you?
[2012-06-02 21:27:28] <[Multi]_Nataku> For all I know, she already has. She has the keys the the rooms, and I'm sure that she wouldn't mind letting herself into them if she so fancied.
[2012-06-02 21:28:13] <[Multi]_Nataku> That's better, at least. Ah-- where did that dress go? It looked like it, especially, needed proper storage.
[2012-06-02 21:29:59] * [Mirr]_Suzuran makes a few pained noises
[2012-06-02 21:30:20] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> I-if she was already in here...
[2012-06-02 21:30:37] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> And the flowers outside...
[2012-06-02 21:32:09] <[Multi]_Nataku> We will have to do /something/ about those flowers. We can't just leave them tattered and broken, it's unseemly. She won't like that, either.
[2012-06-02 21:32:35] <[Multi]_Nataku> But first thing's first, let's get you dressed. Let's see, I know I saw some promising things in here...
[2012-06-02 21:33:12] * [Multi]_Nataku looks for the clothes she liked in Suzuran's closet. She pulls out a few tops and bottoms and lays them out on the bed.
[2012-06-02 21:33:56] <[Multi]_Nataku> Well, I won't press the issue, but you should make sure to hang that dress up, at least. If you don't take care of it, it'll wrinkle.
[2012-06-02 21:35:00] * [Multi]_Nataku hold some tops against Suzuran.
[2012-06-02 21:35:21] <[Multi]_Nataku> Hmm. Try this on, Suzuran.
[2012-06-02 21:35:47] * [Multi]_Nataku give Suzuran a button-down shirt.
[2012-06-02 21:35:57] <[Multi]_Nataku> And what to go with it...? Let's see?
[2012-06-02 21:36:05] * [Multi]_Nataku turns to contemplate the choices on the bed
[2012-06-02 21:38:28] * [Mirr]_Suzuran puts on the shirt after removing the over-sized shirt she was wearing, in her haste to change she misses one of the buttons setting the whole shirt off by one
[2012-06-02 21:39:07] * [Multi]_Nataku picks out a frilly thigh-length skirt and turns to have Suzuran try it on.
[2012-06-02 21:39:21] <[Multi]_Nataku> Oh! Your shirt is cattywampus. Here...
[2012-06-02 21:39:35] * [Multi]_Nataku goes to adjust Suzuran's shirt.
[2012-06-02 21:41:16] * [Mirr]_Suzuran is too busy nervously tugging on the edge of the shirt to pay any attention to Nataku
[2012-06-02 21:41:24] <[Multi]_Nataku> ...That's better. Here, put this on. We'll see how it goes.
[2012-06-02 21:41:40] * [Multi]_Nataku hands Suzuran the skirt.
[2012-06-02 21:44:06] * [Mirr]_Suzuran puts the skirt on and begins trying to adjust it to get comfortable
[2012-06-02 21:44:23] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> You don't think she'll be too mad, do you?
[2012-06-02 21:44:31] <[Multi]_Nataku> At what, now?
[2012-06-02 21:47:12] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> About everything...
[2012-06-02 21:47:55] <[Multi]_Nataku> "Everything" is the thing she's always mad about. She only ever looks for excuses to vent it.
[2012-06-02 21:48:31] <[Multi]_Nataku> She can't even see what's right in front of her. Let's try something else. Go ahead and take that shirt off.
[2012-06-02 21:49:00] * [Multi]_Nataku looks for an alternate top among her choices on the bed.
[2012-06-02 21:49:10] * [Mirr]_Suzuran looks even more depressed as she strips her shirt
[2012-06-02 21:51:07] * [Multi]_Nataku selects a spotted camisole, which she gives to Suzuran. "Put this on, we'll see if there's nothing to go with it."
[2012-06-02 21:51:57] * [Mirr]_Suzuran obediently does so
[2012-06-02 21:52:22] <[Multi]_Nataku> [[A faint color comes to Nataku's cheeks.]]
[2012-06-02 21:52:33] <[Multi]_Nataku> Oh, yes. That's good. Hmmm...
[2012-06-02 21:52:57] <[Multi]_Nataku> [[She looks in the closet for something to cover Suzuran's shoulders.]]
[2012-06-02 21:54:18] * [Multi]_Nataku pulls out a shawl. "Try this on."
[2012-06-02 21:54:58] * [Mirr]_Suzuran looks confused as she holds the shawl out in front of her
[2012-06-02 21:55:20] <[Multi]_Nataku> Here, let me do it.
[2012-06-02 21:55:32] * [Multi]_Nataku settles the shawl on Suzuran's shoulders.
[2012-06-02 21:57:30] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> But won't it just fall off?
[2012-06-02 21:58:47] <[Multi]_Nataku> We're just seeing how it looks right now. We'll tie it on later if we decide it looks good.
[2012-06-02 21:58:58] <[Multi]_Nataku> We'll tie the apron over it, too. That'll help.
[2012-06-02 21:59:09] <[Multi]_Nataku> But I think it looks rather adorable, don't you?
[2012-06-02 21:59:29] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> You don't think Kutsuuko will get mad that I'm not wearing a uniform, do you?
[2012-06-02 22:00:09] <[Multi]_Nataku> From what I've seen, she doesn't mind too much what we wear, as long as it looks kempt and it has the headband and the apron.
[2012-06-02 22:01:54] * [Mirr]_Suzuran doesn't look so sure
[2012-06-02 22:02:38] <[Multi]_Nataku> If you're nervous, we can put your uniform back on once it comes out of the wash. Until then, why don't we keep trying on new things for a change?
[2012-06-02 22:05:17] * [Mirr]_Suzuran nods but still looks just as nervous
[2012-06-02 22:05:41] <[Multi]_Nataku> ...are you still worried about ojou-sama?
[2012-06-02 22:07:10] * [Mirr]_Suzuran gives Nataku a shallow nod
[2012-06-02 22:07:30] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> Every time I do something wrong she always gets so mad at me...
[2012-06-02 22:11:09] * [Multi]_Nataku sighs and sits down on the bed.
[2012-06-02 22:11:17] <[Multi]_Nataku> I know, Suzuran, I know.
[2012-06-02 22:11:31] <[Multi]_Nataku> I know it's not your fault, and I know that that doesn't make it hurt any less.
[2012-06-02 22:11:50] <[Multi]_Nataku> Well...
[2012-06-02 22:12:08] <[Multi]_Nataku> It's not your fault that she gets so mad at you. Do do still have a lot to learn about being a maid.
[2012-06-02 22:12:12] <[Multi]_Nataku> *You do
[2012-06-02 22:13:16] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> At least she notices me...
[2012-06-02 22:13:41] * [Multi]_Nataku looks slightly pained at this.
[2012-06-02 22:14:09] <[Multi]_Nataku> ...But Suzuran, what's it cost?
[2012-06-02 22:16:37] <[Multi]_Nataku> She keeps noticing you, but you keep getting hurt for it. Is her attention really worth the abuse she heaps on you?
[2012-06-02 22:16:57] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> I'm fine...it's not so bad
[2012-06-02 22:18:45] <[Multi]_Nataku> ...I'll take your word for it. I haven't been here long, so maybe I don't really understand your relationship.
[2012-06-02 22:19:15] <[Multi]_Nataku> But I don't like to see you get hurt, even if ojou-sama does.
[2012-06-02 22:25:26] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> I just wish she would smile...
[2012-06-02 22:25:39] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> But not that scary way she does sometimes...
[2012-06-02 22:25:54] <[Multi]_Nataku> That would make living here much easier.
[2012-06-02 22:29:09] <[Multi]_Nataku> But I don't think there's anything we can do about it. I don't know why she's so angry all the time, but I imagine that it's an issue that affects her more personally we should investigate.
[2012-06-02 22:29:36] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> What do you mean?
[2012-06-02 22:30:52] <[Multi]_Nataku> Well, like I say, I'm new here. I haven't had as much experience with ojou-sama as you have, and it's entirely possible that I'm misunderstanding. But right now, it seems to me that she's not really mad at anything in particular, she's just mad all the time.
[2012-06-02 22:31:10] <[Multi]_Nataku> I said earlier that "everything" is what she's mad at, and I believe that's true.
[2012-06-02 22:31:27] <[Multi]_Nataku> Some things might set her off more than others, but I think that, in general, her anger is directionless.
[2012-06-02 22:32:16] <[Multi]_Nataku> To be that angry all the time at everything, she must have some deep problems that she needs to work out, but it isn't our place to help her with them. We're her maids; it's our job to follow orders, not give advice.

[2012-06-02 22:37:25] * [Multi]_Nataku looks confused.

[2012-06-02 22:41:41] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> All those things you said...I don't think I know what all of that means...
[2012-06-02 22:41:56] <[Multi]_Nataku> Well.
[2012-06-02 22:42:13] <[Multi]_Nataku> You know how Kutsuuko-ojou-sama is angry all the time?
[2012-06-02 22:43:26] * [Mirr]_Suzuran nods
[2012-06-02 22:43:55] <[Multi]_Nataku> That's just the way she is. There's something inside of her that's making her angry all the time.
[2012-06-02 22:44:23] |<-- Corona_Okuu has left irc.lunarnet.org (Quit: Nevermore)
[2012-06-02 22:44:28] <[Multi]_Nataku> Whatever it is, it's very personal. Maybe there was some trauma that led her to view everything with anger, or maybe that's just the way she's always dealt with things.

[2012-06-02 22:45:17] <[Multi]_Nataku> But, whatever it is, it's not something we can help her heal. It's too personal. That's not our job.
[2012-06-02 22:45:26] <[Multi]_Nataku> Does that make sense?
[2012-06-02 22:46:20] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> I...I think so...
[2012-06-02 22:46:58] <[Multi]_Nataku> The bottom line is that I don't think we can make ojou-sama happy.
[2012-06-02 22:47:20] <[Multi]_Nataku> It's not our job. It's not our place. 
[2012-06-02 22:47:48] <[Multi]_Nataku> I agree that it would be nice if she were less of a tight-ass, but there's nothing we can do about it. The best we can do is keep our heads down and do what she tells us to.
[2012-06-02 22:48:05] <[Multi]_Nataku> Though that's not really an option for you. She likes picking on you too much.
[2012-06-02 22:48:52] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> You mean there's nothing I can do to make her happy?
[2012-06-02 22:49:42] <[Multi]_Nataku> I can't be sure, but I wouldn't guess so.
[2012-06-02 22:50:20] <[Multi]_Nataku> I think the most you could do would be to indulge her bullying, but that would just get you hurt and put the scary smile on her face.
[2012-06-02 22:50:51] <[Multi]_Nataku> It wouldn't really help her be happy in the long run.
[2012-06-02 22:51:55] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> But it would make her happy for a while...right?
[2012-06-02 22:52:07] <[Multi]_Nataku> Suzuran...
[2012-06-02 22:52:41] <[Multi]_Nataku> There's a difference between "being happy" and "feeling good." Letting her yell at you and push you around might make her feel good, but it wouldn't make her happy.
[2012-06-02 22:52:44] <[Multi]_Nataku> Do you understand?
[2012-06-02 22:55:05] * [Mirr]_Suzuran shakes her head
[2012-06-02 22:55:16] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> It's so confusing...
[2012-06-02 22:55:29] <[Multi]_Nataku> It can be difficult to wrap your head around, yes.
[2012-06-02 22:56:49] <[Multi]_Nataku> How can I explain this...
[2012-06-02 22:58:21] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> So...doing things that feel good doesn't make her happy?
[2012-06-02 22:59:06] <[Multi]_Nataku> Not really, no. Being happy is a state of being, a way you are, but feeling good is just that, a feeling; transient.
[2012-06-02 22:59:29] <[Multi]_Nataku> Even if she feels good for a while, after it wears off, she'll still have the same problems she always did and won't be any happier.
[2012-06-02 22:59:56] <[Multi]_Nataku> It's like eating a candy bar when you're sad. You can enjoy the candy bar, but it won't last forever, and you'll still be sad afterwards.
[2012-06-02 23:02:52] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> But that would make me feel better!
[2012-06-02 23:03:27] <[Multi]_Nataku> For a little while, but some problems don't go away that easily.
[2012-06-02 23:04:18] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> But what's bothering her?
[2012-06-02 23:04:31] <[Multi]_Nataku> That's the biggest problem; we have no way on knowing.
[2012-06-02 23:05:07] <[Multi]_Nataku> We can't find out, because that would involve getting to close to her. We're her maids it's our job to follow her orders, bot give her counseling.
[2012-06-02 23:05:45] <[Multi]_Nataku> You know she wouldn't like it if we just started asking her questions, trying to figure out what's making her so angry all the time.
[2012-06-02 23:08:09] * [Mirr]_Suzuran sighs and falls backwards onto her bed
[2012-06-02 23:08:29] <[Multi]_Nataku> Do you see why I think that we can't make her happy?
[2012-06-02 23:09:58] * [Mirr]_Suzuran hugs a nearby pillow to her chest
[2012-06-02 23:11:01] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> I'm still going to try...
[2012-06-02 23:11:36] <[Multi]_Nataku> Well, I guess that the most I can do is wish you luck. I hope you don't get too hurt.
[2012-06-02 23:11:57] <[Multi]_Nataku> I don't like it when you get hurt.
[2012-06-02 23:13:56] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> I'll be fine!  She wouldn't do anything to really hurt me
[2012-06-02 23:14:27] <[Multi]_Nataku> I suppose you'd know better than I.
[2012-06-02 23:17:09] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> Do you think she hates me?  Maybe that's why she picks on me so much...
[2012-06-02 23:17:35] <[Multi]_Nataku> She has something out for you in particular, that much is true.
[2012-06-02 23:17:56] <[Multi]_Nataku> But I can't tell how much of that is force of habit and how much of that might be because she honestly has a problem with you.
[2012-06-02 23:18:15] <[Multi]_Nataku> It is true you tend to screw up more often than anyone else.
[2012-06-02 23:18:43] <[Multi]_Nataku> Well, I've heard stories about the robots, but I haven't had a good chance to watch them work...
[2012-06-02 23:19:28] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> Maybe it's the same reason every one else picked on me...
[2012-06-02 23:19:28] <[Multi]_Nataku> I would ask you, though, what on Earth possessed you to take up this line of work? I'm hard put to imagine one you might be less suited to, except maybe hard labor.
[2012-06-02 23:22:24] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> They told me it would get me away from my home and that I'd be-...that It would get me away from my home...
[2012-06-02 23:22:43] <[Multi]_Nataku> You didn't like your home?
[2012-06-02 23:25:31] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> No...every one picked on me and no one ever wanted to play with me
[2012-06-02 23:25:54] <[Multi]_Nataku> And who's the "they" that told you to come here?
[2012-06-02 23:26:48] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> I don't know...it was just some people in suits...
[2012-06-02 23:27:47] * [Multi]_Nataku narrows her eyes at this.
[2012-06-02 23:27:53] <[Multi]_Nataku> That's all you know about them?
[2012-06-02 23:28:33] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> I don't really remember much...
[2012-06-02 23:29:36] <[Multi]_Nataku> Well, it got you away from your home, I'll give you that much, but it's certainly not the kind of environment any caring organization would send a helpless child into.
[2012-06-02 23:29:49] <[Multi]_Nataku> Whoever sent you here, Suzuran, should probably go to jail.
[2012-06-02 23:30:14] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> No, I like it here!
[2012-06-02 23:30:25] <[Multi]_Nataku> You do?
[2012-06-02 23:30:50] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> Anywhere is better than...that place
[2012-06-02 23:31:22] <[Multi]_Nataku> You'd know better than I. It's true that here, at least, you don't get beaten /every/ day.
[2012-06-02 23:31:34] <[Multi]_Nataku> A roof and food...it's not the worst deal, that's true.
[2012-06-02 23:31:57] * [Multi]_Nataku sighs
[2012-06-02 23:33:11] <[Multi]_Nataku> Well, I'm glad you like it here.
[2012-06-02 23:33:49] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> Don't you like it?
[2012-06-02 23:34:25] * [Multi]_Nataku sighs again.
[2012-06-02 23:34:29] <[Multi]_Nataku> Not really, no.
[2012-06-02 23:37:50] <[Multi]_Nataku> I didn't want to be a maid. My family made me.
[2012-06-02 23:38:14] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> Oh, what did you want to do?
[2012-06-02 23:38:46] <[Multi]_Nataku> I don't even know! That's the part that really gets to me!
[2012-06-02 23:38:59] <[Multi]_Nataku> I liked school. I wanted to go to college.
[2012-06-02 23:39:13] <[Multi]_Nataku> But what do I want to /do/? That's a harder question, and I can't really answer it.
[2012-06-02 23:40:22] <[Multi]_Nataku> I liked math and science. Maybe I could be a scientist.
[2012-06-02 23:40:33] <[Multi]_Nataku> But even that's pretty vague...
[2012-06-02 23:43:21] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> So...will you ever be happy doing this?
[2012-06-02 23:43:40] <[Multi]_Nataku> I don't think so, Suzuran.
[2012-06-02 23:44:13] <[Multi]_Nataku> I'll get used to it, and I'll get good at it, but will I ever be /happy/? I find that hard to believe.
[2012-06-02 23:45:13] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> Not even a little?
[2012-06-02 23:45:26] * [Multi]_Nataku looks Suzuran over.
[2012-06-02 23:45:36] <[Multi]_Nataku> No, it's not all bad.
[2012-06-02 23:45:40] <[Multi]_Nataku> There are fun times.
[2012-06-02 23:46:29] <[Multi]_Nataku> But, in a way, I'm a lot like Kutsuuko-ojou-sama
[2012-06-02 23:46:55] <[Multi]_Nataku> I have a problem that I probably can't solve. I can feel good, maybe even be happy sometimes, but it won't really last.
[2012-06-02 23:47:17] <[Multi]_Nataku> I'll always have to live in the cage of maidhood.
[2012-06-02 23:47:36] * [Multi]_Nataku , too, sighs and falls backwards onto Suzuran's bed.
[2012-06-02 23:48:32] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> I really hope she doesn't hate me....
[2012-06-02 23:48:45] <[Multi]_Nataku> I do too, Suzuran.
[2012-06-02 23:52:11] <[Multi]_Nataku> ...Do you want to try on something else?
[2012-06-02 23:52:25] <[Multi]_Nataku> I think that outfit is cute, but there's plenty more stuff in your closet to try on.
[2012-06-02 23:54:40] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> But I thought you liked this...
[2012-06-02 23:54:58] <[Multi]_Nataku> I do! I do!
[2012-06-02 23:55:11] <[Multi]_Nataku> I just think it would be fun to try on other things, as well.
[2012-06-02 23:56:12] <[Mirr]_Suzuran> I guess if you really want to...
[2012-06-02 23:56:35] * [Multi]_Nataku claps her hands together and her face flushes slightly.
[2012-06-02 23:56:45] <[Multi]_Nataku> Spendid! Now, let me see...
