[22:32] <Narrator>  10 A rather inactive day at the estate passes again as the bells chime 9 times once more to signal that it is time to awake. As always, they seem like a quiet suggestion rather than an order...outside, the mist is as thick as ever and the sky as bleak as before...when would they escape this infernal place?
 01[22:34] * Meredith mumbles something as she turns over and sleeps through the chimes~
[22:34] <Narrator>  10 The day before the maids had managed to heal the third guest of her suffering and she left back for the mist. The second guest had apparently met a rather gruesome fate at the hands of the ghostly children living on the outskirts of the estate...
 01[22:36] * Marie grumbles at the noise and rises blearily, taking care of morning stuff and then eventually making her way out into the hallway.
 01[22:39] * Marie makes her way to the kitchen and starts making some tea, as much for herself as for the benefit of the master...  It isn't long before a better than average batch is ready, and she pours herself a cup, waiting a while for it to cool.
 01[22:40] * Becky awakes slowly, half-laying over Vincent. "Hmmm?" climbing out of bed she gets dressed slowly, taking a look out the window, her dreams had been peaceful again. Looking to Vincent, she bowed before Vincent, "My lord, it's time that you awoke. The maids will have your tea and breakfast for you shortly."
[22:41] <Becky> "..." he didn't seem to rouse, "I suppose I'll give him some time..." Becky left, heading downstairs to look for a maid
 01[22:41] * Vincent continues sleeping in his bed, unaware of the world around him.
 01[22:41] * Becky is putting up her hair as she arrives in the kitchen, "Maid Marie, go and take a cup of tea up to the master and wake him up, won't you?"
 01[22:42] * Marie finally decides the tea is cool, and begins sipping it contendly.  At Becky's orders, she sighs a bit, puts her cup back down, and bows, getting another cup ready for Vincent.
 01[22:43] * Becky takes a seat, pouring herself a cup, she preferred tea bitter rather than sweet in the morning.
 01[22:45] * Marie carries the tea up to Vincent's room, stalking inside quietly and setting the tea down beside him.  "Rise and shiiiine~"  She coos playfully while pinching his cheek.
 01[22:46] * Vincent groans lightly and awakens, straightening his top hat a bit, "*yawn* Why this is a pleasant surprise! To be awakened by a beautiful girl different than my dear Rebecca!" he chuckled, sitting up in bed.
 01[22:48] * Marie smiles bashfully.  "Thanks...  Anyhow, I brought you some tea."  She says, handing him the mug.
 01[22:48] * Miranda slumps out of bed a bit late. Awoken by the scratching yet again but without her knife she's probably not going to get relief any time soon. She remembers Becky has it and hurries to get dressed, running out to the dining room table. "Becky? Miss Becky, w-where are you?"
[22:49] <Becky> "Hmmm? I'm in the kitchen, little lamb~"
[22:49] <Vincent> "Hmmm...a mug. A bit of advice my dear, a teacup is simply more suitable for tea." Vincent looked a tad dissapointed by her presentation. "Oh well! I suppose taste is all that matters!" he exclaimed just as suddenly and took a sip, raising a pinky. "Mmm...very well done."
[22:51] <Marie> "Tea cups, eh?  They seem a bit less practical to me...  Well, I'm glad you like it anyways, sir!"  She bows and turns to go back downstairs.
 01[22:53] * Vincent gets up and changed as soon as Marie leaves, putting on his usual outfit. He heads downstairs to the dining room afterwards.
 01[22:53] * Miranda stumbles into the kitchen, scratching furiously at her leg this time. "M-My knife! Where's my knife?! Y-You had it last!"
 01[22:54] * Marie is lounging on a couch in the living room.
 01[22:54] * Becky pulls a knife from her apron, "Right here, dear~ Did you need some assistance with..."
 06[22:56] * Canis tossed about in bed, eventually throwing herself off it entirely, to a thump, until she woke herself by bouncing her head off a wood floor and into a wood bedframe. Atchhh. Canis threw open her door, pale-faced, and stalked downstairs.
[22:56] <Miranda> "N-No, I can do it myself! Pleeeease give it back!" she pleads, small flakes of skin coming off her leg to reveal more scale.
 01[22:57] * Becky sighs, "Fine, fine...Help me with breakfast once you're done." standing and extending the knife to Miranda
 01[22:57] * Vincent reads a book at the table as he waits for the others to arrive. "Hmm...maybe this." he circles some passages in some of the pages.
[23:00] <Narrator>  10 A low growl on the second floor hallway...
 01[23:00] * Miranda snatches it away and begins to scratch away at her skin, slumping down with a relieved sigh against the wall once the fit stops. "W-Whew...Tha-thankyou miss Becky." she stands to help her with breakfast.
[23:00] <Becky> "Sure, sure...~"
 07[23:00] * Paladin_Tim_ (chatzilla@39196F77.D98E73E9.D4EF3F1E.IP) has joined #MaidRP
 07[23:01] * Paladin_Tim (chatzilla@39196F77.D98E73E9.D4EF3F1E.IP) Quit (Ping timeout )
 07[23:01] * Paladin_Tim_ is now known as Paladin_Tim
 01[23:01] * Becky sets to making johnnycakes (pancakes made with cornmeal)
 01[23:03] * Becky slices some fruit to accompany the meal
 01[23:03] * Miranda cracks some eggs into a frying pan. "I-I don't know why, but I almost always end up making breakfast...Maybe I should take a break o-one day..."
 06[23:03] * Canis wheels around and growls under her own breath. Tche. What's with all this, nightmares and weird noises.
 06[23:03] * Canis turns towards the hallway and approaches the noise.
[23:05] <Becky> "Hmm? The master and I enjoy your breakfast Miranda~" Becky took what was prepared to the table, calling "Breakfast is nearly ready."
[23:05] <Narrator>  10 As Canis apparoaches...the hallway seems to extend and grow longer with each step...distorting.
[23:06] <Miranda> "R-Really?" she blushed a bit, scooping eggs on to each plate before returning the pan to the kitchen then taking her seat.
[23:06] <Becky> "Of course, Miranda.." Becky took a seat at the table
[23:07] <Becky> "Breakfast is ready!"
[23:07] <Vincent> "Oh!" Vincent put aside his book upon realizing Becky was right there. "Is it now? Splendid!"
 06[23:07] * Canis pauses and leans against a wall. Why did she have such a headache? She definitely hadn't slept well--if at all--'cause of that...blood. Tche. Canis continued onwards, but slowly, and keeping a hand trailing on the wall.
 01[23:08] * Marie 's ears perk up and she hurries into the dining room, taking a seat and a plate, waiting for the others (Or at least Vincent) to start eating.
[23:09] <Narrator>  10 As Canis tried to clear her head, she blinked lightly. Each time she did so, she thought she could a flash of the hallway as it was originally. However with each step...it appears she is going nowhere...the hallway stretching on infinitly.
 01[23:11] * Becky begins to eat breakfast, sipping on tea
 01[23:13] * Vincent begins eating his meal, anticipating what would happen later on in the day...
 01[23:13] * Miranda begins to eat, it was pretty good, as usual~
 01[23:14] * Marie starts eating her meal, finally, quietly and politely.
 01[23:15] * Vincent finishes up his meal without much delay and sighs happily. "Ah, such a wondrous meal as always. I must praise the chef."
[23:15] <Vincent> "So Rebecca, have you given thought to my proposition?"
[23:16] <Becky> "Miss Miranda and I cooked the meal master...Hmm, your proposition? Ahh, yes. I...am still interested."
 01[23:17] * Miranda looked up from her meal every so often, eyeing them both, curious what Vincent meant.
 06[23:17] <Canis> "...Nn? There's nothing...here. Where'd the sound go? Missed a turn?" Canis brushed her hair away from her ear with the back of her hand, listening closer for a moment.
 01[23:17] * Marie bows slightly to Miranda after finishing a moutful.  "Well done, Miss Miranda."
[23:19] <Vincent> "Ah...excellent Becky. I look forward to seeing how you do then." Vincent grinned.
[23:19] <Miranda> "Th-Thank you! But miss Becky also helped!"
[23:19] <Becky> "Shall we...Speak of this in private my master?"
[23:19] <Narrator>  10 Canis can hear some fine steps...approaching from behind.
[23:20] <Marie> "Oh dear, terribly sorry Miss Becky.  Not sure how I missed that..."  She smiles, plainly embarassed.
[23:20] <Becky> "That's fine, miss Marie..."
 06[23:20] * Canis her her rough hair fall back down and backed against the wall, turning directly towards the noise with an irritated look on her face.
[23:23] <Narrator>  10 Silver eyes stare back a small distance away in the endless hallway...the eyes of beast...she can feel something, stalking her. It growls, walking towards her on all four legs, now that Canis has seen it! It runs towards her!
 07[23:24] * jesty|sleep is now known as Jester-
 01[23:26] * Miranda stands. "E-Excuse me...I'll take care of the dishes." she grabs the plates from the people who are finished and takes them to the kitchen.
[23:26] <Vincent> "So, Rebecca...are you ready for your own personal task?" Vincent asked.
 01[23:26] * Marie finishes her dinner, (SLOW EATER!)  and hmmms.
[23:26] <Becky> "I live to serve my master." Becky bowed
[23:26] <Marie> "I think I'll go sweep the porch."
[23:27] <Vincent> "Very well, you know the well right?" Vincent asked Becky.
[23:27] <Becky> "...Yes, my master." Becky closed her eyes to not betray her fear
[23:28] <Vincent> "I'd like you to go there and find a headdress." Vincent asked.
 01[23:28] * Miranda eyes a few cleaned knives, they looked pretty sharp. She pockets one...or two after wrapping them in a dry dishtowel and starts washing the rest of the dishes.
 06[23:28] * Canis snarled slightly as well, shaking her hair out of her own gold eyes. "I'm not in the mood! Stop right there!"
[23:29] <Becky> "...You would like me to go...Inside the well, master? I trust there is some significance to this headdress."
[23:30] <Narrator>  10 The beast does not respond and continues running towards Canis, as soon as she is within range. It lunges towards her! A silver white wolf with ghostly wisps flowing out of it.
[23:32] <Vincent> "You could say that Rebecca...but I doubt you'll have to go into the well. It is most likely somewhere at the base of the well." Vincent informed her, "Most likely I say, perhaps it is gone by now...who knows. If you can go there and return with it...I'll give you a hint towards one of your many questions." Vincent offered.
 01[23:32] * Marie grabs a broom and heads onto the porch...  But somehow messes the task up, only repositioning the dust.  "Ahh...  What a pain~"  She frowns at her handiwork.
[23:34] <Narrator>  4 Outside the hollow wind of this world blows quietly for Marie. There is nothing of note to really see...or maybe Marie feels like trying to pierce the mist to see something?
[23:34] <Becky> "...I can't say I desire such a thing enough to risk my life. But as an order from my master I will obey to gain your favor." Becky bowed and turned to head for the well
 01[23:36] * Marie peers deeper into the mist, latent feline curiosity surfacing.
[23:37] <Vincent> "You truly are foolish Rebecca, I am not ordering you as your master. I am simply asking you this as an exchange...if you do not want to know, that is fine by me." Vincent gave Becky a look that said 'Well...are you game?'
 06[23:38] * Canis pulled herself inwards and closer to the wall, staring back at the charging wolf, unti--eh? Suddenly, everything leaned sideways and she fell through the wall!
 01[23:38] * Becky walked off, not responding.
[23:39] <Narrator>  10 The beast suddenly dissapears from Canis' sight, her luck having shown it's effectiveness. She now found herself in a small room with a hole leading downward...
 01[23:39] * Becky arrived outside, spotting the well. "Here I go...I'll...Show him."
[23:40] <Narrator>  4 Marie can see something stumblind here and there straight ahead in the road.
 01[23:41] * Marie gasps.  "H-hey!  Are you alright out there?!"  She steps forward a bit towards the figure in the road.
[23:42] <Miranda> "Laalaaa~" she hums a bit and goes back to the dining room to clean the table.
 01[23:42] * Becky starts to walk toward the well...Looking for a headdress
[23:43] <Narrator>  12 Becky can obviously recognize someone watching her, most likely she was anticipating this as soon as she stepped out. As always, the wind stops and everything grows quiet, all that can be heard are Becky's steps.
 01[23:43] * Miranda stretches a bit after cleaning. "Ahh~...Hmm, where is everyone?" she thinks to herself and wanders a round through the main rooms.
 06[23:44] * Canis leans out and looks around for the wolf up and down the hallway.
 01[23:45] * Becky breathes slowly, arriving at the well and looking about the base. "Hmm..." Becky more feigns looking at the well, crouching low with a knife hidden in her hand. She stops at the mound of dirt, maybe if she dug into it...
[23:45] <Narrator>  10 The hallway looks normal again, it would seem the wolf was gone. Why were there so many apparitions inside the mansion itself...wasn't it supposed to protect them?
 01[23:46] * Becky starts scooping up the dirt, breaking up any roots or hard ground with her knife
[23:46] <Narrator>  4 As Becky moves closer, she hears a distinct moaning sound coming from the stumbling figure.
[23:46] <Narrator> *Marie not Becky
[23:47] <Narrator>  12 Becky digs up...some skeletal remains. She can see legs and a torso as well as a head...the headdress is there.
[23:48] <Marie> "G-geez...  You sound awful...  Are you sick?  Has someone attacked you?"  She moves closer now, trying to get a good look at this person.
[23:48] <Narrator>  12 A sloshing can be heard behind Becky, coming from the well.
 01[23:48] * Becky snatches up the headdress quickly and runs for the mansion, not caring much for the mystery of the corpse. "That noise...!"
[23:49] <Narrator>  12 A drop of water falls on Becky's nose.
 06[23:51] * Canis glances sideways back at the hole, giving it a one-eye'd leer. Tche, she was hungry, but she  was  already here.
[23:51] <Becky> "Ah..Ahh!" Becky cries, her eyes widening, "No, no, no!" she runs erratically for the mansion, flinging open the door and collapsing inside. Scrambling to close the door behind her, breathing heavily, a hand on her chest as she leans against the door, clutching the headdress. "I...I made it..."
[23:51] <Narrator>  4 Evidently as Marie approaches, she realizes this thing was not a person anymore. A maid uniform in shambles and decomposing flesh with a sack covering the head, it ambled around. Unable to see.
[23:52] <Narrator>  12 Another drop of water fell on Becky's head.
 01[23:52] * Marie starts at the sight.  "A...  A zombie?  N-no way...  It just can't be!"  She mutters under her breath.
[23:53] <Vincent>  10 The hole appears to lead downwards. It was obviously man made and seemed to be a chute of some sort, perhaps this room had been used by maids before?
 07[23:54] * Miki (garizard@sux-E42D2569.broadband.gorge.net) has joined #MaidRP
 07[23:54] * Becky (garizard@sux-E42D2569.broadband.gorge.net) Quit (Ping timeout )
 07[23:55] * Miki is now known as Becky
[23:55] <Marie> "Well then...  I suppose there's only one thing to do..."  She pulls out her machine gun and points it at the shambling corpse.  "Requiescat in pace."  She mutters.
 01[23:56] * Becky shivers, getting up and running toward the dining room, not wanting to look up, trying to sound composed as she called, "Master...? My master Vincent, where are you?"
[23:57] <Narrator>  12 "Master Vincent~...where are you~" The echo follows behind Becky...suddenly her vision becomes blurry and white as if she were walking in the fog...
[23:58] <Miranda> "Hm, I suppose everyone is still busy. I do hope they're alright." she says, grabbing the mop and starting on the floor.
 01[23:58] * Marie pulls the trigger and unleashes some choice bursts at the zombies head and chest, ending its tortuous existence.  "Best wishes, whoever you were."
 01[23:59] * Becky drops to her knees, "T-This can't be, I surely ran inside the mansion..." she brandishes her knife, looking up.
[23:59] <Marie> *zombie's
[23:59] <Miranda> "Maybe I should go che-Uwah!" she trips over the mop and falls flat on her face. "O-Oww...Ah, a nosebleed!" she holds her nose up and runs to the bathroom to get some tissue.
Session Time: Sat Oct 03 00:00:00 2009
[00:00] <Narrator>  4 The zombie falls over, dead in one blow before it could even realize what had happened. Everything looked to be going well...But then...everything grew quiet again, the wind picking up...suddenly, the mist started to part at the spot where Marie stood! A gust of wind from above separating it!
[00:03] <Narrator>  12 "Inside the mansion...can't...ran." the echo replied to Becky as if telling her something.
 01[00:04] * Becky stood, putting a hand to her temple, trying to focus. "See...Though the fog..."
[00:04] <Narrator>  12 Another drop of water fell over Becky, as if teasing her now.
 01[00:04] * Marie frets at the mist, walking closer to the corpse and lifting it over her shoulder.  "The least I can do is to give them the proper respects..."
[00:06] <Narrator>  4 Marie unfortunately has barely any time to react as something slams her to the ground on top of the zombie, a sickening *crunch* is heard as Marie's legs suddenly break from the impact.
 01[00:07] * Marie blinks, then howls in pain, struggling to keep her eyes open.
 01[00:09] * Marie emits a gurgling scream for help, clawing at the ground desperately.
 06[00:09] * Canis looked around it closely. The room wasn't particularly furnished, but there were some loose pieces of wood bordering around the walls. She pulled three pieces off it and figured she'd put them back later. Canis tossed one down the chute experimentally.
[00:09] <Miranda> "Much better~" a bit of toilet paper sticks out of her nose as she looks in the mirror. "Hehe, I do look a little silly though." she continues back out to the main hall, maybe dusting will be easier.
[00:10] <Narrator>  4 Marie could feel her legs become free from the pressure that was applied to them, it was of little comfort however as she felt the same strange wind that signaled the last attack pass over her head now.
 01[00:11] * Becky opened her third eye, her mind sparking with psychic energy. "See...See through the mist!"
 01[00:11] * Marie pulls herself forward with her arms a ways, sobbing.
[00:12] <Narrator>  10 Canis could hear...a very light sound as the wood hit something rather quickly. Did it fall on something soft? Or did it simply just hit a wall and continue down?
 01[00:15] * Marie rolls over a bit, trying to get a glimpse of what's mauling her while she gives another scream for help, this time much clearer than before.
[00:15] <Narrator>  12 As Becky focused her mind, the mist cleared up and she returned to where she had stopped earlier. The echoing voice stopped as well.
 06[00:15] * Canis sat on the edge and dropped the second one down between her legs. It didn't seem to unsafe...but neither do doctors.
 01[00:17] * Miranda hears a noise the second she picks up the duster. "O-Oh my, what could that be?" she says, setting it back down and walking rather quickly to the front door, taking a peek outside.
[00:17] <Narrator>  4 A large red glow stood over Marie, it ressembled a floating eye...it stared at Marie for one more time as something invisible raised once again from the ground where Marie's head had previously been.
[00:18] <Narrator>  10 Once again Canis heard a small sound as the wood seemed to hit something. It appeared to be something soft afterall.
 06[00:19] * Canis hoisted herself off the edge and dropped down casually, but immediately looked all around.
 01[00:19] * Marie tries to shield her eyes from the glow, whimpering and trying to pull herself along with her other hand.
[00:21] <Miranda> "M-Marie!" she starts to rush out, a bit hesitant at first. "Y-You l-l-leave her alone you eye th-thing....please?"
[00:22] <Narrator>  10 Canis seems to have fallen into a room with some clothes at the base. It appears it really was a laundry chute, it's dark but there's light peeking out from what she assumed would be the door.
[00:22] <Marie> "H-help!"  She turns to Miranda and tries to pull herself towards her.
 01[00:22] * Becky breathed easy, heading for the living room, "Master Vincent? Are you there?"
[00:23] <Vincent> "Yes Rebecca. I am here." Vincent answered, sipping some tea and reading a book as always.
 01[00:23] * Becky presented the headdress to Vincent, "There was a corpse with a headdress in a mound of dirt behind the well. I assume this is my quarry."
[00:24] <Vincent> "It is indeed Rebecca...so did you meet the spirit there?" Vincent asked calmly.
[00:25] <Becky> "The majority of spirits concentrated at this mansion I've found to be most loathsome and hostile. I may have met a spirit but I did not face it."
 06[00:25] * Canis breathed a brief sigh of relief and moved towards the underlit door
[00:25] <Miranda> "G-Get away!" she grabs one of the knives she pocketed and tosses it at the eye.
[00:26] <Vincent> "A shame Rebecca...it would seem once again you have failed." Vincent sighed, closing his book. He pointed behind him to the window...
[00:26] <Narrator>  12 In the reflection of the window, Becky can see someone behind her.
 01[00:26] * Becky looked to the window
 01[00:26] * Becky grabbed onto Vincent's shoulder, snapping her head back to look behind her
 01[00:27] * Miranda misses it completely. "D-Drats! H-Hold tight, I'll save you!"
[00:27] <Narrator>  12 As Becky turned, she was face to face with something with a skin that was dark blue, eyes white and yet smiling towards Becky...Becky should easily be able to recognize the spirit...as it was her.
[00:28] <Vincent> "I really did hope you would figure it out before...but as always, you simply ran from your fears rather than to face them." Vincent answered calmly from behind Becky.
 01[00:28] * Becky gripped Vincent's shoulder, "...Our terms were for me to find the headdress. Why assume anymore than I have to?"
 01[00:28] * Marie whimpers, holding her hands over her neck, her tail fluffed out to nearly twice its size.
[00:31] <Vincent>  4 The beast slams once more on Marie...crushing her.
 01[00:31] * Becky looked to her past self, ready to ask a few questions if it could respond. "Can you hear me?"
[00:31] <Miranda> "M-MARIE!" she screams, covering her mouth as Marie is crushed beneath the monster. "Y-You!"
[00:32] <Vincent>  10 The door was unlocked, how lucky. Canis can see outside the room, it appears to be the main hallway of the first floor. This mansion...had a laundry room before?
[00:32] <Narrator>  12 "Can you hear me?" It repeated, moving a tad closer to Becky, it reached out an arm.
 01[00:33] * Becky handed the headdress she found to the corpse an impulse, her other hand still firmly holding onto Vincent
[00:33] <Becky> on an*
[00:35] <Vincent> "I'm afraid while you did suceed the task, you failed my expectations as always. Masking your fears behind so called orders...I'm afraid such a way of life is unbecoming of my head maid." Vincent sighed, watching as the spirit approached Becky.
[00:36] <Becky> "Don't try to weasel your way out of your end of the bargain again."
 06[00:36] * Canis mussed her hair with one hand and closed the door behind her. "Tche. I'm hungry," she complained to herself, stepping out into the main hall. "Is breakfast ready yet...?" she called out, walking over into the main hall, irritated.
[00:37] <Vincent> "Oh...if you can be rid of...that. Then I'll inform you." Vincent answered Becky.
[00:39] <Narrator>  12 Becky accepted the headdress, "Your...end...again." it repeated in a selective manner.
[00:40] <Miranda> "S-SOME ONE? IS ANYONE ELSE HERE? SOME ONE HELP ME!" she yells, keeping her /eyes/ on the monster.
 01[00:40] * Becky stood from the armchair, putting a hand to her temple. "Tell me what I want to know, and leave."
[00:41] <Narrator>  12 "Tell me..." Becky swiftly approached Becky and moved her face closer to her, trapping Becky in an icy cold grip.
 06[00:42] * Canis heard the call. "Oi, what's all t--" The front door was open? Canis slammed her feet towards it. Pausing at the front door but stepping past it. "Glas--er, Miranda, what's--?"
[00:44] <Becky> Becky grabbed the other Becky's skull firmly with her hand. "Two questions! How do you feel about the master, and who killed you?"
 01[00:44] * Meredith yawned quietly and shifted around the bed just slightly. She looked so comfortable~
[00:45] <Miranda> "I-If it's not too much trouble c-could you help me?" she says shaking from the end of the porch, now with her pocket knife in hand.
[00:46] <Narrator>  4 The beast raises it's invisible mass from Marie's body, bits of flesh falling to the ground as it did so. It starts to turn, as if ready to leave the area...but will you really allow it to leave after killing a fellow maid?
 06[00:47] <Canis> "Ah," Canis said, a sort of agreement to help in her own personal language...but she stood there shaking, too. "Yeah, 'course I'll help."
[00:49] <Miranda> "Y-you can't just l-leave! You hurt miss Marie!"
[00:50] <Miranda> "Y-You monster!" she closes her eyes and runs at it, waving her knife around.
[00:52] <Narrator>  12 "How do you feel about killed you?" The ghost repeated in an amused tone. If this ghost was Becky...was it really possible to use the same strategies she would usually use against it?
 01[00:53] * Becky frowned, "How useless. Why did you come bother me?" Becky brought about her other hand and made to crush Becky's skull
[00:53] <Vincent> "Rebecca really, you have no class." Vincent sighed.
 06[00:54] <Canis> "Oi! Are you crazy? That thing just--Miranda!" Canis unstuck her feet and ran after the girl, grabbing her around the waist and pulling her back to the mansion porch forcefully.
[00:54] <Miranda> "B-But, look what it did to miss Marie!" she points, trying her best to keep breakfast in her stomach.
[00:57] <Narrator>  4 The creature vanishes into the mist once it's task was done.
[00:58] <Narrator>  12 Becky swiftly pulls away Becky's arm and moves Becky closer to herself once more. "You...me...useless..." the ghost muttered.
 01[00:58] * Miranda drops to her knees. "I-It got away...And miss Marie is..."
[00:58] <Vincent> "Rebecca dear, rather than trying to run away from it. Why not try a different approach?"
 06[00:59] * Canis fell on her own, trying to put the mist around them out of her mind.
 01[00:59] * Becky yelled at Vincent, "If you wanted me to find my old corpse say it! Stop jerking my chain, it's starting to piss me off!"
 01[00:59] * Becky backed up, ready to kick at Becky
 01[01:00] * Vincent sighed, "You'll never learn..."
 01[01:00] * Meredith yawned and stretched out her arms as far as they would go. "Mmmmm....Mmmm~" Sleepily shuffling out of bed she went to the drawers to change and get ready for the day.
[01:01] <Becky> "YOU'LL never learn! I'm not here to play games! Tell me what you want me to do and I'll do it!"
 06[01:02] <Canis> "And what would you have done? Ended up..." Canis gulped down, since there was nothing to throw up. "Ended up like...Fuck. Were you -trying- to die again?!"
[01:02] <Miranda> "N-No...I just..I-I just wanted to be useful!"
[01:02] <Narrator>  12 "Do...what...you...want..." Becky echoed...
[01:03] <Vincent> "I've told you multiple times already, hiding behind orders will do you no good." Vincent looked disgusted by now, "I really did not want this to end like this with you...but if you will not learn from past mistakes then perhaps you should simply restart from the beginning?"
 01[01:04] * Meredith looked out the window curiously, watching the mist dully as she leaned against the wall. "I kinda wonder... if it changes color," she mused.
[01:05] <Narrator>  4 Nothing happens...the mist remains the same color for Meredith. Maybe she didn't want it enough?
 06[01:05] <Canis> "Useful to what! It's...it's not like you'd..."
 01[01:06] * Meredith unlatched the window and pushed it open. Stepping over, she put one foot onto the sill and reached out so that her upper body were outside the mansion now.
[01:06] <Meredith> "Good morning, mist!"
 06[01:06] * Canis shivered. "D-do you think...with Marie...?" Canis got out breathlessly.
[01:08] <Becky> "My will is to live! If you want me to die, that's an order I refuse to accept." Becky punched at Becky
[01:12] <Miranda> "M-Maybe...Maybe she'll come back! Yeah, she'll come back just like me...a-and it'll be alright..."
 07[01:17] * Miki (garizard@sux-E42D2569.broadband.gorge.net) has joined #MaidRP
 06[01:18] <Canis> "Yeah, and...haha, maybe she'll have glasses like you used to! Or maybe she'll be sick, or maybe she'll be strong...haha..."
 06[01:18] * Canis flipped on her back on the porch and laughed to herself a little.
 07[01:19] * Becky (garizard@sux-E42D2569.broadband.gorge.net) Quit (Ping timeout )
 07[01:19] * Becky (garizard@sux-E42D2569.broadband.gorge.net) has joined #MaidRP
 07[01:20] * Miki (garizard@sux-E42D2569.broadband.gorge.net) Quit (Ping timeout )
[01:31] <Meredith> "Hum."
[01:31] <Narrator>  12 "Live...die...refuse...accept...I want to...die..." The ghost told Becky as it simply caught the punch and delivered a mirror copy of the same move.
 01[01:31] * Meredith ducked her head back into the mansion and shut the window. Maybe she'd have some luck at the dining room.
[01:31] <Miranda> "W-We should probably head inside in case it comes back...I-I can't get near miss Marie, not like this."
[01:31] <Vincent> "Rebecca...you've always wanted to live...but do you really want to only live...or do you want to leave this place?"
 01[01:33] * Meredith arrives at the  7dining room .
 01[01:33] * Becky took the punch head on, stumbling back. "You must be enjoying this Vincent..." she looked back at him pitifully, "I don't want to leave. I don't want to die. If you'll tell me something important I'll stop running."
[01:35] <Narrator>  10 "The mansion of rebirth...a place where death is not an end...to breach the secrets is to learn what death truly is...to live is to die and to die is to live...as all becomes the same anew."
[01:35] <Vincent> "My dear girl...here is your hint..." Vincent said, lowering his hat and talking in an ominous tone.
[01:36] <Vincent> "That is my only hint for you. If you desire not to die...that is fine. However...help the others." Vincent raised his hat a bit and grinned back to Becky.
 01[01:38] * Meredith whistled a haunting tune.
 06[01:39] <Canis> "Right. Yeah." Canis sounded dazed, like she'd been struck on the head, but she managed to stand up and offered a hand to Miranda, unable to prevent herself from seeing sickeningly harmless-seeming flecks of red between her bangs at the corner of her vision. "Tche."
[01:39] <Becky> "Hmph. That's not what I meant...But that will do. If it will redeem my status as a capable head maid, I will help our flock." Becky held her stomach, pointing to Becky. "You've done enough. Get back under the ground where you belong already."
 01[01:40] * Miranda accepts the help up and begins to walk back inside to the main hall. "A-After we settle down, I can make lunch if you'd like..." she smiles, still visibly frightened
[01:40] <Narrator>  12 The ghost moved over to Vincent and bowed, "Good work Becky..." he shot her a grin as she fade away, most likely returning to the well.
 01[01:41] * Becky struggled to stand upright once again. "I'll return to my chores unless one of the flock has wandered into the mist."
[01:41] <Meredith> "They must be all so busy~" She looked around for something vibrant.
[01:41] <Meredith> and colorful
[01:42] <Vincent> "Very well Rebbecca, you've decided your path." Vincent laughed, "My dear Rebecca! Very good! Do try and stick with that path from now on." Vincent got up and left for the dining room.
 06[01:42] <Canis> "..." Canis hung her head a moment. "Yeah. Sure."
 01[01:43] * Becky went to the kitchen, wrapping a block of ice in a towel and holding it to her stomach. "I hit rather hard..."
[01:44] <Narrator>  4 As Becky went to the kitchen, she could see some activity once more outside in the window...the children again...and this time they had someone with them.
 01[01:46] * Becky set the ice aside, "It's cruel to test my so soon mist..." Becky headed for the backdoor from the kitchen, the children would likely hang another victim. Outside she strode forward to the two children, "Found a new playmate?"
[01:46] <Becky> me*
[01:47] <Narrator>  4 The two children nod and one of them reaches back and tosses something to Becky.
[01:47] <Becky> "Hmm? What is this?"
[01:49] <Narrator>  4 Down on the floor, an arm lay, colored light blue as if it had been inside water for a long time...The children start singing a song about the maid of the well.
[01:49] <Narrator>  4 They both point behind Becky.
 01[01:49] * Becky picks up the arm and turns around
[01:50] <Narrator>  4 As soon as Becky turns, a sharp flash of light catches her attention first.
[01:51] <Narrator>  4 Suddenly, a blade enter's Becky's abdomen, the third child smiling as she held the blade. An innocent smile. She started to sing 'this old mare'.
[01:52] <Narrator> *enters
 06[01:54] * Canis had lots of energy that she needed to expend. As might have been pointed out by Miranda, it was easy enough to spend it on dusting the ENTIRE first floor.
 01[01:55] * Meredith headed into the kitchen, not having had breakfast... she hungered.
 01[01:56] * Becky grabbed the child's arm, coughing up blood and dropping the blue arm before stumbling back, pulling the knife out of her, switching the knife to her right as her left had been cut
[01:56] <Miranda> "O-Oh! thank you miss Canis!" she bows.
 06[01:57] <Canis> "N-nah, it wasn't... You said lunch, right? Care to pay me back? ...Really hungry."
 01[01:58] * Becky brandished the knife at the children, backing away. "I guess you don't want to play after all..."
 06[01:58] <Canis> "I'll...keep at this, tell me when I can eat," Canis said, looking around for a mop.
 01[02:00] * Becky started heading back for the mansion, holding her knife in one hand and stomach in the other.
[02:01] <Narrator>  4 "Play?" The children look at each other and laugh, "PLAY! PLAY! PLAY! PLAY!"
[02:02] <Narrator>  4 The girls laughed merrily and watched Becky as she walked away, "Do you want to play again miss?" one of them asked Becky.
 01[02:02] * Meredith whistled her haunting tune as she gathered ingredients out of every which way in the kitchen.
 01[02:02] * Becky laughed morbidly, "I don't care for that game..."
 06[02:03] * Canis found the mop easily enough and snarled lightly at it as she began to mop every last darn inch of the first floor. She was a little tired at the end of it, and returned the mop, making sure the floor wouldn't... kill  anyone...
[02:03] <Miranda> "O-Oh! OK miss Canis." she scurries off to the kitchen. "Oh, you've already started! Here, let me help."
[02:03] <Narrator>  4 "Where is our other friend?" Another girl asked. "Why isn't she here to play with us? We had so many games planned for her!!" "Yes! Games! So many!" "Play!"
 01[02:04] * Miranda seemed to be in her own little world while she chops up cucumbers for a salad.
 01[02:04] * Becky continued for the mansion, she needed to patch herself up. "It would be fun if everyone played together. So don't spoil it by playing with just one of us or we'll get mad..."
[02:04] <Narrator>  10 The mist clears once more as Marie returns, back in front of the mansion. As always...no memories...no information...nothing. She looked around a bit and saw a red stain on the ground though there seemed to be no indication of what may have left it there.
 01[02:05] * Meredith continued whistling as she prepared the chili.
 01[02:05] * Marie looks at the stain.  "Hmmm.  I'm getting hungry~"
 01[02:05] * Miranda uses leftover bacon from breakfast and cuts it into little bits, sprinkling it on and tossing the salad.
[02:06] <Narrator>  4 "Maybe we should just play some more with you?" The girls chuckled, one of them pushing another one into the well as she laughed and hit the bottom with a dull thud. It would seem there was no water inside of it...
 01[02:06] * Becky took off, "Some other time."
[02:07] <Marie> "Now then...  Where the hell am I, I wonder?"  She looks up at the mansion and walks up, knocking...  And strategically loosens her outfit...
[02:09] <Meredith> "Who is it~"
 01[02:09] * Becky ran inside the mansion
 06[02:09] * Canis walked over to open the door. "...?"
 01[02:10] * Meredith lightly walked up to the door and opened it a crack to look out!
 01[02:10] * Miranda finishes preparing the salad and sets the dishes, leaving the food distribution to Meredith. "I'll clean up the kitchen now, can you please set the food?"
 01[02:11] * Marie bows, far more than just a little cleavage visibile for a few moments.  "Good evening!  I seem to have lost my way..."
 01[02:11] * Vincent sits down in the dining room, reading a book as always.
 01[02:12] * Meredith did not actually open the door and instead began to serve up the meal, which was a hearty bowl of chili with Miranda's salad.
 01[02:12] * Becky heads bows to Vincent in the dining room. "My lord. I've incurred an injury in the mist. I would like to request I end my day early for treatment and rest."
 06[02:13] <Canis> "A-ahh...That so?" Canis blushed slightly, then gritted her teeth lightly. "You'd have to take that up with the master. Right over here," Canis said, leading Marie along
 01[02:14] * Marie follows along, smiling 'innocently' with her fangs poking out.
[02:15] <Vincent> "Injury...strange, not like you to simply walk out into the mist again...very unlike you." Vincent looked a bit surprised, "Please do so~"
[02:15] <Becky> "Thank you my master." she looked up, "I'll be resting in your bed." she smiled before sauntering off
[02:16] <Vincent> "Yes yes, do try not to stain it with blood." Vincent waved her off as he read his book.
 01[02:16] * Becky retired upstairs for the night
 06[02:17] <Canis> "Oi, Master, was Red just--?"
 06[02:17] <Canis> "Er, Ma--...we've got a guest."
[02:17] <Vincent> "She got injured earlier...do not worry. Hmm? Let her in then."
 01[02:18] * Meredith finally finished serving up the lunch for the dining room table, it sure was difficult on her own.
 01[02:18] * Marie smiles at Canis.  "Please do."
[02:20] <Vincent> "Oh, hello Meredith...what have you been up to all day anyways? I get the impression you were rather skittish today..."
[02:21] <Meredith> "Hello, Master~ Oh, what do you mean? Today has barely started, hasn't it?"
 06[02:22] * Canis returned to the entrance hall. "Ah, he's right over here, Mar--, eh, nothing. Right this way."
[02:22] <Vincent> "Hmm...so hard to tell really wouldn't you agree?" Vincent scratched his chin.
 01[02:23] * Marie looks at Canis, confused, while she follows her.  "Wait a minute...  Were you about to call me what I think you were?"
[02:24] <Meredith> "Umm... No, it isn't! I just woke up, so it has barely started!" She smiled and shifted her body slightly at the "has" to emphasize the word.
 06[02:24] * Canis led Marie through the living room into the dining room, avoiding looking at her for at least three reasons. "Eh. Nevermind. Master, the guest," she called out for his attention, waving to Meredith and gazing at the food hungrily.
 01[02:25] * Marie bows to Vincent as well.  "Hello, sir.  I seem to be...  Lost.  And...  Amnesiac..."
[02:26] <Vincent> "Oh, good day Marie. How are you feeling?" Vincent got the distinct feeling he saw her yesterday...did she die already? How odd...
 01[02:26] * Meredith waved to Canis, then made a gesture to sit down!
[02:26] <Miranda> "A-Ah! Marie!" she returns from the kitchen. "I knew you be ba-...You-..you look different."
 01[02:27] * Marie arches her eyebrow at Miranda.  "Wha...  Different?  A-and you know my name?"
[02:28] <Vincent> "Yes yes, we all know the stories." Vincent sighed, his maids were dropping like flies and returning just as quickly. What exactly was going on...
[02:29] <Miranda> "Oh that's right...I guess you don't remember me or anyone..."
[02:30] <Vincent> "If you are quite done, I shall explain it all to you Marie.
 01[02:30] * Meredith looked at Marie curiously. "Are you hot, ma'am?"
 01[02:30] * Marie smirks at Meredith.  "Quite."
[02:31] <Meredith> "Oh, lemme get some ice! The mist is also chilling~"
 01[02:32] * Meredith twirls and walks away to the kitchen for some ice.
 01[02:32] * Marie laughs and covers her face with her hands.
[02:33] <Marie> "No, no...  Just forget it.  Heheh..."  She waves Meredith's suggestion off.
[02:33] <Vincent> "Alright alright, so let me explain Marie." Vincent continued on and explained the story as he did to all the other maids.
[02:33] <Vincent> "Any questions?"
 01[02:34] * Meredith carried a bucket of ice back into the dining room and left it on the table in front of Marie.
[02:35] <Marie> "Uh...  No...  I don't think I have any, if you're going to be as cryptic about this as you seem..."  She shrugs.
 06[02:35] * Canis waved a hand to Miranda, too, and sat down. She ate her lunch and reached for more--she hadn't even eaten breakfast. She totally wasn't paying attention to anything around her. Not dead people, living people, or the questionable. Eventually this passed and she leaned back, watching Marie out of the corner of an eye through her bangs.
[02:36] <Vincent> "I do apologize...I just have had to explain this an absurd amount of times as of late..." Vincent put his fingers to his head as if he had a headache.
 01[02:38] * Marie folds her arms and taps her elbow thoughtfully.  "Uh huh...  Well I guess...  It isn't much stranger than what I am."  She smiles acridly, baring her fangs.
 01[02:38] * Meredith munched on her lunch absentmindedly, not at all concerned with the bucket of ice anymore.
[02:39] <Vincent> "Ah, Marie...I almost forgot. Once in a while we will receive...guests here. That is one of the functions of this mansion as well as one of your tasks...please do take care of him when he arrives."
 07[02:40] * Parodius (stripedtsu@sux-222F7E8B.cpe.cableone.net) has joined #MaidRP
 01[02:40] * Vincent stands back up after finishing his meal. "And...he should be here at any moment actually."
[02:41] <Marie> "...Right-oh, then."  She says, although her tone and expression aren't very enthusiastic.
[02:41] <Miranda> "BBut please be careful too!" she warns. "There's some dangerous things...like whatever it was that killed.
 07[02:41] * Becky is now known as Guest
[02:41] <Miranda> *killed you"
[02:42] <Meredith> "Oh, she died too!"
 01[02:42] * Marie laughs.  "I don't think I have much to worry about the 'thing' who killed me much anymore~"  She says, tapping one of her fangs for emphasis.
 01[02:42] * Meredith pushed her plate away, having happily finished the meal.
[02:43] <Miranda> "E-Even with those...Please, try to be careful."
[02:43] <Guest> A tall, thin man in a red suit with long blonde swept-back hair and a katana on his hip looked up to see a mansion out of the mist. He felt like he had been running for hours...Walking up the front steps of the mansion, he knocked on the door- straightening his tie and inspecting his cufflinks.
 01[02:44] * Marie looks at Miranda quizzically, then shakes her head.  "Doesn't anyone appreciate my wit here?"
[02:45] <Meredith> "Wit is what?"
 06[02:46] <Canis> "Oi. Someone's knocking," Canis said, rising from her seat and going to the entrance hall.
[02:46] <Meredith> "What~" She hopped out of the chair and made to go see who was at the door as well.
[02:46] <Marie> "Sarcasm?  Puns?  Come oooon, girl!"  She says pleadingly to Meredith.
[02:46] <Vincent> "Oh, that must be him."
 06[02:47] * Canis stared at the door for a moment. She then opened it. "...Evenin'. Are you looking for something?"
[02:47] <Meredith> "I have no need for those~" She replied to Marie on her way over to the entrance hall!
[02:49] <Guest> The guest seemed reverent and prepared to bow, but dropped his decorum a bit seeing Canis and the others, "What luck, to think the only house for miles around is full of beautiful women." he took Canis's hand and kissed it, "A pleasure, miss. May I come inside?"
 01[02:49] * Marie sighs.  "Whatever..."  She follows into the lobby as well.
 01[02:49] * Vincent moves out to the lobby, following behind Marie.
 06[02:50] <Canis> "A-ahh, yes... Right this way, sir," Canis replied, startled out of her lax stride.
[02:51] <Meredith> "This guest has already put his charms on Canis! Now we are one task force shorter~"
 01[02:52] * Marie frowns.  "/Him/?"
 01[02:52] * Guest sauntered to Meredith taking her hand and planting a kiss on it as well, "Don't mind me, I'm more than happy to merely be in your company."
[02:53] <Meredith> "Oh my, oh my~ Master, I'm afraid I cannot do my maidly tasks anymore. He is too much~" She pretended to swoon and lean toward Vincent.
[02:54] <Miranda> "A-Ah...A playboy." she frowns a bit, tilting her head.
[02:54] <Vincent> "Ahaha, it appears you have charmed my maids!" Vincent laughed and grinned towards the guest.
 01[02:55] * Guest smiled faintly, "You do me too much honor milady..." he turned to Vincent, "Who's the real playboy here, hmm? I assume these lovely girls are your attendants?"
[02:56] <Vincent> "Ah, you could say that~" Vincent replied, bowing for the man. "My name is Vincent Leblanc. I am the master of this estate. These girls are my maids."
[02:56] <Marie> "All this bootlicking is going to make me nauseous."  She sighs and shakes her head.
[02:57] <Vincent> "Now now Marie, be polite for our guest!"
[02:57] <Miranda> "Th-The master is just giving us a place to stay, that's all!"
 01[02:57] * Meredith brought a hand up to her cheek as she kept the kissed hand out in front of her. "But my shoes have never been so shiny."
 01[02:58] * Guest extended a hand, "A pleasure Vincent. Mind if I stay a night, get my bearings?" he looked to Miranda with a wink, "So you're still free then?"
 01[02:58] * Marie looks at Meredith, the corners of her mouth twitching.  "A-and you just ignored all of mine..."
[02:59] <Marie> "...  Touche, then."
 01[02:59] * Meredith grinned complacently at Marie. What did this mean?
[02:59] <Vincent> "There there Marie." Vincent gave her a friendly pat on the back then turned back to the guest, offering his hand back and shook. "I would be honored if you stayed here! My maids shall do their best to care for you."
 01[02:59] * Miranda blushes and looks away. "A-Ah...Y-Yes...I suppose..B-But I'm not interested in some playboy!"
[03:01] <Guest> "My am I glad  to hear that." he looked to Miranda with a sigh, "Excuse me for being overzealous, I'm under such strain acting under codes of ettiquette, so long gone with work I nearly get light-headed seeing so many cute girls at once. I don't know which way to turn~"
[03:04] <Miranda> "I-I guess...I mean...If you've been busy I suppose it's OK..."
[03:04] <Vincent> "Well, I'll leave him in your capable hands ladies. I shall go to the clocktower to catch up on my research...the list of tasks are on the dining room table." Vincent waved and headed out of the room, leaving the maids alone with their guest...
[03:04] <Meredith> "Oh, please make yourself welcome! I'll draw you a bath."
 01[03:04] * Guest smoothed out his hair, "I'll mind my manners...Hmm? Ahh, a bath does sound nice!"
 01[03:04] * Marie 's eye tics as she watches the guest.  "Aren't you going to tell us your name?  Or should I just call you Worm?"  She laughs a bit.
 01[03:05] * Meredith disappeared toward the guest bathroom.
[03:05] <Miranda> "I-I'll light the fireplace, it is getting a bit chilly." she blushed more as she scurried to the fireplace. "I-I can't be taken in by that womanizer! B-But he doesn't seem that bad..."
 01[03:05] * Guest scoffed, "I'm hardly a worm. And if you want to hear my name just ask! I'm so used to people being able to recognize me."
[03:06] <Guest> "How about you tell me your name, and I'll tell you mine." The guest smiled at Marie softly
[03:06] <Marie> "Then stop grovelling and act like a normal person"  She shrugs.
 01[03:07] * Guest put a hand to his chest, "Your words doth pierce my heart, cold maiden. I'll have to head to the fireplace to thaw." he shrugged, turning to walk away.
 01[03:07] * Marie pauses for a moment.  "How about you just call me Camilla, for now?"
 01[03:08] * Guest looked over his shoulder, "Camilla...A very pretty name. Mine isn't so elegant. The name's Hayashida. Oyabun, Daichi Hayashida."
 07[03:08] * Guest is now known as Daichi
 01[03:10] * Daichi headed for the living room to take a seat, taking off his shoes and setting his katana on the table. "Ahhh~"
 01[03:11] * Miranda fumbles with the matches before dropping them into the fireplace. "Ah, darnit!"
 06[03:11] * Canis had regained her brusque composure while leading from the door and keeping to a wall farther than the others. She smirked at the display when it was done to others, but...tche. She'll just go make dinner.
 01[03:12] * Daichi stands up, walking up behind Miranda, "Hmmm, need a helping hand?"
 01[03:13] * Meredith had remmebered to let the water to run at least, but... Did the guest want cold water? Oh, but he was too far away to ask. Guess he'll have to settle!
[03:13] <Miranda> "Y-Yes, I'd like tha-Oh my! But you're a guest sir! Please, allow me to make you dinner." she bows. "Is there anything particular you have in mind?"
 01[03:14] * Daichi fished for the matches in the fireplace, "Please, call me Daichi...How about some soup hmm? Something light that'll warm me up." he smiled
 01[03:15] * Daichi struck a match and lit the fire precisely, "There we are~"
[03:16] <Miranda> "S-Si-I mean, umm...Daichi, you didn't need to do that!" she stands and runs off to the kitchen, a bit embarrassed a guest was doing her job.
 01[03:17] * Daichi sat before the fire, smiling after Miranda. "My, is she pretty..."
 06[03:18] <Canis> "Miranda? Making dinner. You helping or?"
 07[03:18] * Jester- is now known as Jesty|sleep
[03:18] <Miranda> "A-Ah, yes, right away." she looked down, still blushing as she began to help.
 01[03:19] * Marie heads for the bookshelves and tries to dust them...  But, in an echoe of her past life, cleaning tasks such as this elude her...
 01[03:19] * Meredith whistles a haunting tune once again.
 06[03:20] * Canis starts to...grill some fish, perhaps, some hot, grilled fish. "What're you thinking? About ...Marie. And the guest."
[03:22] <Marie> "...."  Shrugs and re-stashes the duster, grabbing a book at random and leafing through it idly, her blouse slipping off of one of her shoulders.
[03:22] <Miranda> "Marie is...She's very different from before, more b-bold...I guess. The guest seems nice...But he seems like a bit of umm...a...A womanizer."
 01[03:23] * Daichi stands, stretching. Wandering about until he found Marie, "Ahh, miss Camilla..." he snakes a hand to tug her blouse up back onto her shoulder. "If you're taking a break, you wouldn't mind my company I assume?"
 01[03:24] * Marie 's mouth twitches a bit.  "Sure, why not."  She says, still paging through the book.
 01[03:25] * Daichi takes a seat near Marie, "The other maids seem close-knit, do you prefer being alone?"
[03:25] <Miranda> "O-Oh! He said he'd like something umm...warm!" she begins to make a bowl of soup from the leftover fish. "I-I do hope he enjoys this. It was so embarrassing, having him light the fireplace for me...

 01[03:26] * Marie shrugs.  "I just got here today.  I don't really know any of them that well."
 06[03:26] <Canis> "...?" Canis nods at the soup. "He lit the fireplace for you?"
[03:27] <Daichi> "Hmm, I see. Wandered out of this fog, huh? Plan on staying awhile?"
[03:28] <Miranda> "Y-Yes." she blushes again. "H-He asked me to umm...call him by his first name. I believe it was "D-Daichi". I can't possibly call him that." she shakes her head.
 01[03:28] * Marie squints at Daichi suspiciously.  "What's it to ya?"
 07[03:30] * Marie (Nonan@80F157E5.C6DB832A.D8795800.IP) Quit (Connection reset by peer )
 06[03:30] <Canis> "Why not? 'Cause he'll be leave anyway like...'Sam'?" Canis asked, taking a moment.

 01[03:30] * Daichi shrugs, "If you wanted to leave, I could take you with me...I'd rather not travel alone anymore..."

[03:34] <Narrator>  4 Outside is a bright and sunny day...somewhere else in the world probably.
[03:35] <Marie> "So a strange man just shows up to whisk me and me alone away to nowhere in particular, and you expect me to go along with that?"  She continues looking at Daichi with narrowed eyes.
 01[03:36] * Meredith looked out the bathroom window dully. "I wonder if the mister changes colors," she has the creeping sense of deja vu. Although that's an eerily frequent occurrence in this mansion...
 01[03:36] * Daichi sighed, "No good, huh? You're not the first person to turn me down."
[03:38] <Marie> "Maybe you should try something other than flattery and suspicious propositions."  She says, her eyes finally opening fully again as she turns back to the book.
[03:39] <Narrator>  4 The mist is as bleak and gray as always...
 01[03:39] * Meredith glares the mist down.
[03:40] <Narrator>  4 Of course the mist does not change colors. Ever.
 01[03:40] * Meredith looks as if she's been defeated somehow!
[03:40] <Miranda> "I-I guess you're right." she takes the warm soup on a trap with some grilled fish to Daichi. "U-Umm... Mister Daichi, I've prepared your dinner for you s-sir." she tries to avoid direct eye contact with the filthy womanizer.
 01[03:40] * Meredith quickly backs away from the bathroom and runs downstairs.
[03:41] <Daichi> "It's easy to be aloof I guess. It hurts less. I suppose even if you came with me, you'd leave eventually." Daichi stood to leaf through the books... "Ahh, wonderful! Thank you so much miss." Daichi took the tray and sat to eat, "It's delicious. You'd make a wonderful wife~"
[03:43] <Miranda> "W-w-w-Wife?! N-Not at all, sir. I-I'm just d-doing my job!" she seemed really flustered, again : | "P-p-please excuse me! I umm...have to...clean the pool! Yes, that's it." she runs off back into the kitchen.
 01[03:44] * Daichi continues eating, "It really is good..."
 01[03:45] * Meredith runs into the room where Daichi was! "The bath is-" She grabs onto her chest, panting. "...ready."
 01[03:46] * Daichi finishes his soup, "Hmmm? why thank you." Daichi stands to walk past Meredith before giving a wink, and a joking "Care to join me?"
[03:46] <Meredith> "Ha~ I am but a mere maid, it would be unfitting to join in."
 01[03:47] * Daichi sighed, "Not even to scrub my back?"
 01[03:47] * Meredith followed along beside Daichi, "well, if it's to serve the guest then I will!"
 01[03:47] * Daichi laughed, heading for the bath. "That's the spirit!"
 01[03:48] * Marie scoffs.  "What the hell is he so obsessed with that for?"
[03:48] <Meredith> "I'm actually not really a maid~"
 06[03:49] * Canis stepped over to the table to bite into her own fish, watching the scene with half a smirk until it was accepted. "O-oi. 'ssat wise?" she asked the other two
 01[03:49] * Meredith opens the door for Daichi as they got close.
[03:49] <Daichi> "Ya don't say? What are you then?" Daichi heads inside the bathroom, taking off his jacket and folding it.
[03:50] <Meredith> "Hm..." She looked up thoughtfully at Daichi, as if appraising him for a specific quality. "Nope, it'll be fine if I tell you." She shut the door behind herself, "I'm really on a mission to take someone's life!"
[03:51] <Marie> "...You want I should keep the buffoon in check, Canis?"
 01[03:52] * Daichi turned to her, unbuttoning his shirt, grisly tattoos of demons and corpses adorning his frame. "An assassin?"
 01[03:53] * Miranda slumps against the wall, trying to catch her breath when she feels a familiar tingling on her face. "N-No, not there...P-Please!" she pleads no no one in particular. She reaches for her knife but stops herself, managing to get back on her feet and back into the living room, visibly uncomfortable and made her way over to the bookshelf. "I-I'll just...I'll just take my mind off of it with some...
 01[03:53] * Miranda ...work....Y-Yeah."
[03:53] <Meredith> "Well, if you want to insult me sure~" She continued talking to Daichi casually, as if she weren't insulted in the least. "I am the Reaper."
 01[03:54] * Daichi took off his belt and pants, "Funny I should run into you. I feel like I've been in the edge of death, just pissing my time away in a maesoleum of my own creation...Got a life in mind you're hunting, reaper?"
 01[03:54] * Miranda drops the duster the second she picks it up and collapses to her knees and starts clawing away at her neck with one hand and scratching with her knife using the other, the entire left side of her neck flaking away to reveal more scales.
[03:56] <Meredith> "You find strange things to be funny! Oh, but I don't know. See," she leaned up close to Daichi and brought a hand up between his ear and her mouth like she was sharing a secret, "something here killed me!" She leaned back away. "Now I can't remember."
[03:57] <Miranda> "No no no no!" she sobs to herself by the bookshelf, scratching more until the entire side of her neck and a bit of her face is completely void of skin.
 01[03:58] * Daichi took off his briefs before putting a foot in the water, "Well, if--Shit that's cold!" he took his foot out, "I'd prefer a hot bath rather than a freezing one..."
 06[03:58] <Canis> "You're concerned, too, Marie?" Canis thought about it, and remembered back. "Yeah, I'll give a eye out."
[03:58] <Meredith> "Oh... Sorry."
 01[03:59] * Marie nods.  "Alright then."  She puts away her book and heads to the bathroom, silently cracking the door open and looking inside, ready to interrupt any sort of foul play.
 01[04:00] * Daichi wrapped a towel about himself, sitting on the sink counter, "That's ok, if you'll just heat the water..."
 01[04:01] * Meredith stood completely still, after a few minutes of awkward silence she suddenly broke it again. "Okay, try the water now."
[04:02] <Meredith> Why was steam rising out of the tub!?
 01[04:02] * Daichi looked at her incredulously before taking off his towel and getting in, "Ahh. That's much better."
 01[04:02] * Marie blushes.  This felt pretty weird on the other end of things...
 01[04:03] * Meredith tossed away a lampshade. "That's good to hear, Sir! You must be relaxed to charm the more of them~"
[04:05] <Daichi> "Hmmm? Not taken in?" he joked
 01[04:06] * Miranda gets up, making sure no one sees her and goes to bandage her face. "M-Maybe no one will notice...Y-Yeah, no one will see me, they'll think I just got hurt, yeah!" she assured herself hysterically.
 01[04:08] * Meredith had suddenly perched herself on the bath tub's edge. "Oh, but of course I am. You heard me at the entrance~"
 01[04:10] * Daichi smiled a bit, "I'm not used to people accepting me without knowing who I am...This trip may have been the best idea I've had in awhile."
[04:12] <Narrator>  4 Everything was rather calm for now.
[04:12] <Meredith> "I've gotten so used to people, and so many of them just don't threaten me... it's become so much easier to be on the less serious side~"
 01[04:13] * Daichi turned, "Scrub my back?" an inked dragon with a chain of skulls in it's mouth was emblazoned on his back
 01[04:14] * Marie 's eye tics.  This is pretty boring work...
[04:14] <Meredith> "Of course, Sir."
 01[04:16] * Meredith grabbed a rag and lathered it up before scrubbing without much enthusiasm. She hummed a depressing tune with a great deal of energy.
[04:16] <Daichi> "Vincent's blessed to have such helpful maids...Perhaps I should get my own. I don't hink I can go on much longer without someone who cares"
[04:16] <Marie> "What a wimp~"  She mutters from behind the door.
 01[04:16] * Miranda sobs as she heads to the basement. An easy task, plus no one will see her down there...Oh wait, better get a lantern first.
[04:17] <Meredith> "Maids are nice~ The head maid of our mansion is a kind woman, hopefully you meet somebody like her!"
 06[04:17] * Canis finished her fish and stood up, looking around. The bookcases still looked unswept? Perhaps...worse? "Tche."
[04:17] <Narrator>  4 A pair of green eyes stare at Miranda from a shadowy corner behind the furnace.
[04:17] <Meredith> you'll*
 01[04:18] * Daichi pulled a revolver from his jacket, "It's rude to stare miss Camilla!"
[04:18] <Meredith> "Oh my~" She only shifted slightly so that she could continue scrubbing. It wasn't the best work.
 01[04:19] * Miranda holds the lantern in front of her. "Hm? I-Is some one there?"
[04:19] <Marie> "Oh dear~, a guuun~"  She laughs scornfully.
[04:20] <Daichi> "Just close the door, silly girl~"
 06[04:21] * Canis shrugged and grabbed a duster. Was there even...on the floor? How did it...? Canis cleaned that, too. Why was there so much of this...stuff. Tche. Canis cleaned the bookcases up.
[04:21] <Narrator>  4 Whoever was staring at Miranda has left...perhaps they had been hoping for someone else.
[04:22] <Meredith> "Oh, it's not like she'll catch anyth- Oopsie." She dropped the rag "accidentally", then fished around for it near Daichi's front.
[04:22] <Marie> "Now why would I do something like that, hmm?"
 01[04:22] * Daichi blushed a bit, dropping the gun "M-Miss!"
[04:22] <Narrator>  10 The fridge however, is still there for Miranda to investigate...
[04:22] <Marie> "W-wait a minute...  What the fuck?!"
 01[04:23] * Daichi whispered, "You're rather daring miss...Won't you show me to my room after my bath?"
 01[04:24] * Miranda sighs, she forgot the duster and was a bit scared to go back down. "I-I'll just...Leave it to some one else...Yeah." she goes back up and sets the lantern nearby after turning it off.
 01[04:24] * Meredith blinked, finally retrieving the soaked rag. "Oh, if you'd like, Sir."
 01[04:24] * Daichi ran some water through his hair, "Do you plan on watching me dress Camilla? I'm getting out."
[04:25] <Meredith> "You'll find maids to be quite an enjoyable bunch~"
 06[04:26] * Canis looks around. How does this place get so dusty so quickly...she mentally complained as she threw her arms behind her head and walked towards the main hall. Though the busied ins and outs made it pretty clear.
 01[04:26] * Marie blanches.  "I'll watch whatever I damn well please...!"
 01[04:27] * Daichi stood up in the tub, wagging a finger at Marie as he got out of the tub, "Rather impolite of you Camilla. Besides, I figured you weren't interested."
 01[04:28] * Meredith reappeared on the bathroom floor now. "Would you like to help us, Ma'am?"
[04:29] <Marie> "I certainly don't have any plans to /go/ anywhere with you, that's for sure!  But that doesn't mean I can't make use of you while you're here."  She huffs.
[04:29] <Daichi> "My is it too uncouth to ask a maid to dry me with a towel?"
[04:29] <Daichi> "Tsk, tsk. Use? I suppose I'd be game, but it's not fair to toy with a man's heart like that."
[04:30] <Meredith> "Not at all." She replied blankly.
 01[04:30] * Marie smirks.  "What is a man?  A miserable pile of secrets!"
 01[04:32] * Daichi handed Meredith a towel, "Here you are miss...I never got your name." he looked to Marie, "Care to dig through and pick out a few secrets of mine?"
[04:32] <Meredith> "Hmm... My name's Meredith!" She casually passed the towel over to Marie~
[04:33] <Meredith> "Do you have a preferred name, Sir?"
[04:33] <Daichi> "Please, call me Daichi, Meredith..."
 01[04:34] * Marie 's eye tics a bit.  "Innuendo, is it then?"  She says, holding the towel motionlessly.
[04:34] <Meredith> "I'll try to call you Daichi, then~"
[04:37] <Daichi> "Tsk, not everything I say is." Daichi snatched the towel, drying himself off and getting himself dressed.
 01[04:38] * Miranda arrives in the liing room. "A-Ahh, I-I guess I can take a break." she falls back on to the couch, staring into the mist.
 01[04:39] * Vincent walks back down to the living room after having finished his book.
[04:39] <Meredith> "Oh, sorry, I figured a maid could do it~"
 01[04:39] * Meredith shrugged her arms helplessly.
[04:39] <Vincent> "Hmm...oh, Miranda. Hello." he looks through his bookshelf for something in particular.
[04:40] <Marie> "So you say..."  She says, smiling just enough for her fangs to show.
 06[04:40] * Canis looked around. It seems like she's gone over the first floor again. She dusts off her broom and brings it along properly--in case there was something else that needed cleaned once more.
[04:40] <Daichi> "It's fine, I suppose I got anxious, just standing here naked between two maids. Who'd like to take me to my room?"
[04:41] <Meredith> "Please, allow me! After that refusal of service~"
 01[04:41] * Meredith ran forward and hugged Daichi's arm, then suddenly disappeared.
[04:42] <Daichi> "Very well miss Meredith~ miss Camilla, will you fetch my things from the living room?"
[04:42] <Marie> "I hope you understand what you're getting into, Meredith."  She says, frowning.
 06[04:43] <Canis> "Mn. It's the master, and Miranda? The...others are up with the guest. Anything more to do?"
 01[04:44] * Meredith reappeared behind Marie. "It'll be fine, Ma'am!"
[04:44] <Miranda> "A-Ah! Master! A-Are you looking for something?"
 01[04:44] * Daichi blinks, heading out of the bathroom, "After you miss Meredith."
[04:45] <Meredith> "This way, Daichi~" She grabbed onto Marie's arm and lead her over to the guest bedroom, trying to keep Daichi nearby.
 01[04:45] * Vincent sits down on a couch in the  7living room  after finding his book. "Yes, just a new book to read. It's so hard to stay interested in the same thing all the time."
 01[04:46] * Marie blinks as she's pulled along by Meredith
 01[04:46] * Daichi follows behind Meredith, heading into the guest room. "A bit dusty~"
[04:46] <Miranda> E-Err...Umm...Why don't you ever venture out into the mist yourself? Y-Your're not curious about anything?"
 06[04:47] * Canis glanced around. "I take it you haven't read everything yet?"
 01[04:47] * Meredith nods, the  7guest room  was not attended to very well. "Sorry, but we can fix that!"
[04:47] <Vincent> "Out myself? Oh dear me no. I need to stay here and make sure everything is in order." Vincent replied in a mildly uninterested way.
 01[04:47] * Meredith holds up Marie's arm!
 01[04:47] * Daichi took a seat on the bed, "Much obliged miss~"
 01[04:48] * Marie stares at the arm held up by Meredith confused.  "What...?"
[04:48] <Meredith> "You don't want to help me clean?"
[04:49] <Daichi> "Hmm, it's not that dirty.."
[04:50] <Marie> "Oh...  That's what you meant by that."  Shrugs. "Fine, whatever."
[04:50] <Meredith> "Oh... I guess you'd rather... clean our guest. Well, I'll get the rest of the room!" Unclasping Marie's arm, she reappeared with a duster after a short disappearance!
[04:51] <Daichi> "Hmm? I was just cleaned Meredith!"
 06[04:52] <Canis> "Master, is there something else to do? Even I can't be idle -all- the time...
[04:53] <Marie> "...I'm not sure I caught that."  She says, staring at Meredith for a bit before moving things about and dusting a little to clean up as well.
[04:53] <Miranda> "Oh...err, I have another question...That strange thing in the basement, near the furnace...What is it?"
[04:53] <Meredith> "Then nevermind~" She assisted Marie.
[04:53] <Vincent> "Hmm, near the furnace?"
 01[04:54] * Daichi sighed, he'd rather be alone with one or the other
[04:54] <Miranda> "Err...Yes...I'm not sure what it was though..."
 01[04:54] * Daichi yawns a bit
 06[04:54] <Canis> "Furnace? Miranda, you mean Dusty?"
[04:55] <Miranda> "D-Dusty? Is that the name of the box?"
 06[04:55] <Canis> "Box? No, a girl, Dusty, Dusty."
[04:56] <Meredith> "Done! You can now sleep peacefully~"
[04:56] <Vincent> "Oh, hello Canis." Vincent nodded.
 01[04:56] * Meredith clapped her hands happily at a job well done.
[04:56] <Daichi> "Ahh, thank you...Though I'd care for some dessert before bed."
[04:56] <Vincent> "Something else to do? Oh...I believe you girls have gotten way ahead of your tasks tonight."
[04:56] <Miranda> "A girl? I didn't see a girl..."
[04:57] <Narrator>  12 Suddenly...the bell in the clock tower chimes once...
[04:57] <Meredith> "Dessert... Give me a moment, Sir!"
 06[04:58] <Canis> "...?" Canis shook her head a little. "Dunno, then." At Vincent's comment, she was about to lean back against a wall, but--"...?"
[04:58] <Daichi> "Well, alright...Will you stay and talk with my Camilla?"
[04:58] <Daichi> me*
 01[04:58] * Meredith disappears and reappears outside of the room, then runs down to the kitchen.
 01[04:58] * Daichi bends over a bit, "Ack, my head...."
 01[04:59] * Marie smirks.  "Very well."  She sits down across from him.
[04:59] <Miranda> "D-Do you suppose you could come down to the basement and e-explain that strange box, sir? Maybe you, miss Canis?"
[04:59] <Daichi> "It's going to be tough saying farewell to all of you nice girls." he smirked back
[05:00] <Vincent> "Hmm? Oh, just ignore it. It's best for all you maids to never touch that box." Vincent shook his head.
[05:01] <Miranda> "Oh...OK."
[05:01] <Miranda> "But err...Would you mind telling me what's in it?"
[05:02] <Vincent> "Most likely some meat." Vincent answered.
[05:02] <Vincent> "Perhaps you two should clean the furnace? It hasn't been cleaned out in ages as I recall."
[05:02] <Miranda> "Ah...I suppose it's all rotten by now."
[05:03] <Marie> "Well, from what I understand the Master has no intention of you staying, and I don't know if anyone would readily follow you out of this place either."
 06[05:04] <Canis> "Sure. Master Leblanc, can I have an extra uniform?"
[05:04] <Daichi> "Hmm? Oh no, I don't intend on staying. I'm heading out, moving into my own big mansion. Though I'd certainly like to have one of you lovely ladies as my own maid~"
[05:04] <Miranda> "The furnace? Surely that's dangerous. I should go with you, Miss Canis."
[05:05] <Vincent> "An extra uniform? Oh, I believe there might be a few in the laundry room..." Vincent informed Canis.
 07[05:06] * Daichi (garizard@sux-E42D2569.broadband.gorge.net) Quit (Quit:  )
 07[05:06] * Daichi (garizard@sux-E42D2569.broadband.gorge.net) has joined #MaidRP
 01[05:06] * Meredith seemed to be hard at work making a bowl of jell-o.
[05:06] <Marie> "Why are you so dead-set on bringing one of us with you?  Especially considering just how long you've been here."  She frowns a bit at Daichi.
 06[05:06] * Canis nodded, remembering where she'd landed earlier. She grabbed one--shooting a glance up at the chute--and fluffed it out. Good enough. She returned shortly. "Yeah, thanks for the help, Miranda."
 01[05:07] * Daichi sighs, laying back in bed. "It'd just save me some trouble is all."
 07[05:07] * Writefag_Chronicles is now known as Hazuki
[05:09] <Marie> "So what, this is just some convenience store to you?  You can't just pluck people up and away like that, y'know.  Just isn't right."  She says, leaning forward a little.
[05:09] <Daichi> "Is it so bad to not want to be alone? Such harsh words, and here I liked the lot of you."
 06[05:10] * Canis swept the uniform over her shoulder and stopped by the kitchen. "A sec, Miranda."
 06[05:11] <Canis> "Violet? You're in here, too? How's the guest?" Canis asked as she filled up a glass of water.
[05:11] <Miranda> "O-Of couse." she stands outside the kitchen, adjusting her bandages.
[05:11] <Narrator>  12 Another bell chimes...
 01[05:11] * Daichi holds onto his head, "I just don't wa--Oww!"
[05:12] <Marie> "...." She taps the armrest of her chair.  "And why, exactly, are you going about it so urgently?  I'm sure you have plenty of time to work on that."
 01[05:12] * Daichi winces, "Talking to you is giving me a headache. It must be. Wasn't someone going to bring me dessert?"
 01[05:13] * Meredith looked up at Canis. "Oh, hey! Yes I am~ And he's quite nice! Right now he wants dessert~"
 01[05:15] * Meredith looked over a can of whipped cream. "Now does this go on myself or the dessert... hmm, choices~"
 06[05:15] <Canis> "Ah, that's good. Looks good, too," Canis offered at the bowl, giving her a tap on the shoulder with her forearm. "Tell him he's welcome for the night for me." Canis returned to Miranda with a nod. "Thanks for the wait. After you?"
 01[05:16] * Meredith waved Canis dismissively. "He'll be happy to know~"
[05:16] <Miranda> "O-Of course." she grabs the lantern and lights it, heading back into the basement, this time with Canis.
 01[05:17] * Meredith began the walk back to the  7guest room  with the bowl!
[05:18] <Marie> "...Then you don't have time to spare for it?"   She stands up and walks over to him, looking down at him.
[05:19] <Daichi> "You mean dessert? I have time..." he looks up at her strangely
[05:19] <Narrator>  10 Another chime is heard and a voice rings through the maid's minds "Two bells left...this soul is bathed in a desire for love...how desperate is his desire..."
[05:20] <Marie> "What...?  No, I meant finding companions.  It works better if you use a little patience, you know."
[05:20] <Narrator>  4 The basement is the same as always, once again two green eyes peer out at the maids from next to the furnace...and once more they dissapear. The fridge is as always, present.
[05:21] <Daichi> "Ahh. Well if I leave tomorrow that doesn't leave me much time. Once I get back out there...Everyone will only come because they know who I am...I can't trust them. I'll be too paranoid."
[05:21] <Meredith> "Bathed in a... oh, love~ He was bathed in water earlier, as well!"
[05:22] <Miranda> "Hm...Those two dots sure are strange..."
 06[05:22] <Canis> "Yo."
 01[05:22] * Meredith teleported beside Daichi. "Ahem~"
[05:22] <Meredith> "Your dessert is ready!"
 06[05:23] * Canis approached the dots. She set the glass of cold water next to them, holding a spare uniform in the other arm.
 07[05:24] * Miranda_ (Shimi@sux-49528D1C.hsd1.tx.comcast.net) has joined #MaidRP
[05:24] <Marie> "And yet here you sat in a room alone with a vampire?  Is it really that different?"  She smiles faintly.
 01[05:24] * Daichi looked beside him, "Ahh, thank you Meredith." he sat up
 07[05:25] * Miranda (Shimi@sux-49528D1C.hsd1.tx.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout )
[05:25] <Narrator>  10 The spot next to the furnace is empty once more.
 07[05:25] * Miranda_ is now known as Miranda
 01[05:25] * Meredith offered the bowl to the guest. "Please enjoy! Also, Canis wants you to know you're welcome for the night."
[05:26] <Daichi> "Ahh, that's good." Daichi took the bowl and began to eat.
[05:26] <Daichi> "Hmm? I'd prefer a vampire to the bloodsuckers I know."
 06[05:27] * Canis brushed off a spot next to the furnace and put down the uniform. "I'll help you up when you want me, Dusty." Personal intent done, she turned to Miranda, offering her the initiative. "What's next?"
[05:27] <Miranda> "D-Dusty?"
[05:28] <Narrator>  4 ...the uniform catches fire...
[05:28] <Narrator>  12 One more chime rings out...only one left...
[05:28] <Miranda> "A-Ah! Miss Canis!"
 07[05:29] * Daichi (garizard@sux-E42D2569.broadband.gorge.net) Quit (Quit:  )
 07[05:29] * Daichi (garizard@sux-E42D2569.broadband.gorge.net) has joined #MaidRP
[05:30] <Marie> "...  Maybe I misjudged you.  But like I said, try to keep the flattery low, it can really rub people the wrong way."
 01[05:30] * Meredith sat down beside Daichi. "So? Is it gooood?"
[05:31] <Daichi> "I'll try.." he sighed, eating his ice cream, "It's lovely miss Meredith, just what I needed. I think~"
 06[05:31] <Canis> "H-hey! C'mon now!" Canis bent back down to pat the fire out--she hoped the uniform was still intact...
[05:32] <Meredith> "Are you sure that's what you needed?"
[05:32] <Miranda> "Oh my! What do you suppose happened?" she gets closer to Canis, holding hte lantern in fronto f them.
 01[05:32] * Meredith looked up at Daichi curiously.
 01[05:33] * Daichi smiled a bit, "No, perhaps not. But just what am I after I can't place for sure...Miss Camilla won't you take my dishes back downstairs?"
[05:34] <Narrator>  4 The uniform indeed was still for the most part okay, if had a light tinge of broom near the collar however.
[05:35] <Marie> "Oh, do you wish to be rid of me now, then?"  She raises an eyebrow at Daichi.
 01[05:36] * Daichi sighs, "Don't take it personally."
 06[05:38] <Canis> "I'm not sure, Miranda. This kinda stuff isn't really my strong spot," she said. She might've been easily interpreted as referring to spirits or fire, but she was thinking about dealing with difficult girls, moreso. "Sorry for the wait. What do you want us to do next?"
[05:38] <Marie> "Oh I'm not offended, but now I feel I can empathize with you a little bit."  She waves her hand dismissively.  "...  Perhaps I will consider your earlier offer some more."  She picks up his dishes and moves to leave the room.
[05:39] <Miranda> "Err, I suppose we clean the furnace..."
 01[05:40] * Meredith watches as the girl leaves. "Hm? Offer?"
 01[05:40] * Daichi smiles, "I'm so happy to hear that, if you do decide to come with...Oh, I offered to hire miss Camilla as a maid! I'm getting a mansion of my own you know. You're more than welcome to come. Wouldn't you rather come with me?" he looked a bit desperate
[05:41] <Meredith> "...Oh, I'm sorry. Didn't I tell you my whole existence belonged to getting this mark?"
[05:42] <Marie> "Oh...  By the way, my name's actually Marie."  She laughs a bit.  "I was a bit worried you might be able to use my true name against me, so I just picked a rather applicable alias~"
 01[05:44] * Marie smiles at Daichi playfully.
[05:44] <Daichi> "C-Come now, is it really so important?" he looked to Camilla, "Hmm? Marie? That was a silly thing to do, give me a fake name...Urgh..." he held his head, "I really don't want to go back into that mist alone. I don't want to live alone." he starts muttering to himself, seeming to forget anyone's there, "I need someone. Someone who cares about me! Who likes past the crest on my coat to my heart! I can't take it any longer! I had to run away
[05:44] <Daichi> looked to Meredith*
[05:45] <Daichi> who looks past*
[05:46] <Marie> "Hey now, I said I'd consider your offer.  I just wasn't sure what to think of you when you first showed up!  You seem nice enough, but you're starting to get a /little/ yandere~"
 06[05:46] * Canis nodded. "Heh, right." Canis stood up straight and shifted her shoulder a bit. She was getting a bit of a workout today. She leaned in, stepped up a little inside of it, working around it. Agh, this was gonna be a pain later.
[05:47] <Narrator>  4 A small fire is still lit inside the furnace infront of Canis.
[05:47] <Miranda> "Oh, I suppose we should put this out..."
 01[05:48] * Daichi shook his head, coughing a bit. "I can't help being possessive...I can't stand to lose someone again..." he stood shakily holding his chest, loosening his tie. "It's so hot in here..."
 06[05:48] <Canis> "...Eh, it's fine."
[05:48] <Meredith> "You won't lose us, Daichi."
[05:48] <Daichi>  4 The katana on the table near Canis seemed to shake, move slowly
 01[05:48] * Marie steps closer to Daichi and puts her arm around his shoulder.  "Calm down, man.  Here, I'm exothermic enough I should be able to relieve some of your body heat."
 01[05:50] * Daichi collapsed into Meredith's arm, "T-Thank you...Thank you...I-I'm sorry for being like this in front of you, how could anyone love someone so pitiful!"
[05:51] <Meredith> "Everybody looks the same at their worst..." She strokes Daichi's hair comfortingly, mirroring Becky.
[05:52] <Meredith> "You can trust me on that, Daichi."
[05:52] <Narrator>  12 The last bell chimed...it was too late...
 01[05:52] * Marie laughs gently.  "A lot of vampires ask similar questions, Daichi."
 06[05:53] * Canis worked around the flame, reaching over it at times...but eventually between herself and Miranda, the furnace is cleaned--and the flame remained intact.
[05:53] <Narrator>  4 The flame danced around a bit.
[05:53] <Miranda> "M-My, that looked dangerous..."
 01[05:53] * Daichi shook out of Meredith's grasp, running back until he crashed into the wall. "You haven't begun to see my worst..." Daichi's suit turned black, suddenly his clothes and hair clung to him, and his breath was ragged as if he had nearly drowned. A katana appeared in his hand.
[05:54] <Marie> "Just when I start to warm up to ya you pull a stunt like this?"  She shakes her head mournfully.
 01[05:54] * Daichi unsheathed the blade, "I can't have someone knowing I've been here...What was I thinking...The demon on my back...Is telling me. YOU HAVE TO DIE!"
[05:55] <Meredith> "...But it's not nearly your time." She looked away sadly, a machine gun now appearing into existence in both her hands.
 01[05:56] * Daichi flourished his blade, "I should have died then. In that crash. I would have been happy to die. I'm convinced now I simply cannot die...I will live forever with this wound in my heart!"
[05:57] <Narrator>  12 "And so time runs out...this soul may yet be saved...however it is also ready to simply fade away from existence."
 01[05:57] * Marie sighs and pulls out her AUG H-BAR.  "Nobody lives forever..."  She sighs and aims for him expressionlessly.
 06[05:57] * Canis extracated herself from the furnace, a fair bit dirty, a fair bit sweaty... "Mi...Miranda, wipe...my eyes?" Canis's hands and face were the most dirty.
 01[05:57] * Daichi charged at Meredith, "Teasing me! You knew all along didn't you! Who I was!"
[05:58] <Miranda> "Ah, r-right," she wipes at her face with the sleeve of her uniform.
 01[05:58] * Daichi slashed at Meredith
 01[06:00] * Meredith dropped the gun onto the floor with a loud thump.
 01[06:02] * Meredith smiled enthusiastically again, she made no movements to defend. "Daichi, I told you few people could threaten me..."
[06:04] <Marie> "I-idiot!  What are you doing?!"  She shouts, looking at Meredith, wild-eyed.
 01[06:05] * Daichi slashed Meredith, proceeding to lick off the blood. "Then you shouldn't mind if I let my sword get it's fill of blood!"
[06:05] <Daichi> on his blade*
 06[06:06] <Canis> "Yeah, thanks. Nice to have you around." For Canis, whis was pretty sincere. "Should we sweep up still? Or wash up."
 01[06:08] * Meredith winced. "D-Daichi, that's really gross. Also, what if you cut your tongue?"
[06:08] <Marie> "Damnit, Daichi!  Why are you doing this?!"
[06:08] <Miranda> "We should probably go wash up." she gives Canis a little grin. "W-We /were/ only asked to clean the furnace." she lets out a little laugh. "B-But I suppose I'll comeback and clean it...j-just in case."
[06:09] <Daichi> "The demon! The demon has forked it's way into my heart! I can't resist. All I want to do is slice everyone in here to ribbons! The demon won't let go until I do!"
[06:11] <Meredith> "What if you lose that sword, what then?" She asked, a bit less enthusiastically than the norm.
 06[06:12] <Canis> "Yeah." Canis gave a glance back and lifted her chin up to the side, while watching the furnace. Was it some kind of farewell? A signal of acknowledgement? No one might now... "Ahh, I'm hungry again. Just wanna take a shower."
[06:12] <Daichi> "I'm sure it won't mind if I plug you into a few holes...Though it may tempt me to  4violate 1 you..." he laughed sadistically, "That's all the girls seem to think I mean when I say love! That they can just work down my pants and I'll hand over my fortune! Fuck that!"
 06[06:12] <Canis> [gave a glance back as she turned to go up the steps, and*]
[06:13] <Daichi> with*
 01[06:14] * Meredith unconsciously took a step backward, actually feeling intimidated by that one. "W-well, show me... that you have your own willpower!"
 01[06:14] * Marie shakes her head.  "That's just sick, how can you even think of doing something like that?"
[06:15] <Daichi> "Willpower? Would you rather I want to kill you of my own accord? Come! Aren't you going to fight back!?"
[06:15] <Miranda> "Y-yeah, I supp-...Miss Canis, what do you think they're doing over there?"
 01[06:16] * Daichi slashed at Marie, "Sick? Am I sick!?"
 06[06:17] <Canis> "With the guest? Yeah, let's go check. Haven't seen Marie since she went up," Canis said, shivering inside at the thought of another Goldman.
[06:18] <Miranda> "R-Right...Miss Marie." she follows behind Canis.
 01[06:19] * Marie easily moves out of the way.  "Yes, you are!  Or at least some part of you is, and it needs to go back to whatever sordid hole it crawled out of so I don't have to take out the /good/ with it!"
 06[06:20] * Canis and Miranda  7approach the guest rooms.
[06:20] <Daichi> "Good? What's good about me!?"
[06:21] <Meredith> "I kind of wonder... what happens if a death god dies."
[06:23] <Marie> "You weren't unkind before...  And...  When you fixed my blouse, that isn't the most typical response I get..."  She says, casting her gaze downward somewhat bashfully.
[06:24] <Miranda> "O-Oh my! You don't suppose they're..."
 06[06:25] <Canis> "Tche! Come on!" Canis grabbed the doorhandle and slammed it open. "..."
 01[06:26] * Meredith steps closer toward Daichi. "Can I visit your mansion later?"
 01[06:27] * Daichi paused a bit, "Are you...Blushing?" he takes a hand off his katana, "I really did want to take you all with me...But the demon is so intent..." his hand shook a bit, "No one will ever love me with such evil in my heart..."
[06:28] <Miranda> "M-Miss Canis! What if the-" she pauses after looking in, her mouth agape for a few seconds. "M-Mist-Err, Daichi! What are you doing?!"
 07[06:29] * Parodius (stripedtsu@sux-222F7E8B.cpe.cableone.net) Quit (Quit: but never stop. )
[06:29] <Marie> "I'm a walking corpse who feeds only on the life of others, and you worry about evil in /your/ heart?"  She looks at him, rather annoyed.
[06:30] <Meredith> "I ferry the souls of the damned to their final destination~"
 01[06:30] * Daichi looked to Miranda, "Miss Miranda...What a shame you had to walk in on this." his hand gripped his sword, "I simply can't bear to be alone anymore...So I'm taking you all to hell with me."
[06:33] <Miranda> "H-Hell! What are you talking about?! S-Stop this...if you don't mind."
[06:34] <Daichi> "Hmm? You've got something to say? The demon is getting impatient..."
[06:35] <Miranda> "I-I don't know what has you angered, b-but surely we can err...we can talk about this...I-" she blushes. "I-I'd be glad to umm...To cook for y-you again, if you'd like."
[06:38] <Marie> "Look, I was really thinking about leaving with you before!  But if you don't cut this out, there's just no way!"
 01[06:38] * Daichi took a step forward with a blush before hunching over, "Shut up! Shut up! If I need a cook I'll hire one! I don't need any of you!"
[06:39] <Miranda> "B-But earlier..."
[06:39] <Marie> "You really dropped some heavy hints otherwise before..."  She steps a bit closer to him again.
 01[06:40] * Daichi shook his head a bit, "Don't come any closer! I'm burning up..."
[06:41] <Marie> "...And I'm freezing."
[06:44] <Meredith> "Hey! You know what, if you won't listen, then-" Meredith suddenly disappeared, but in a flash she came into existence again right in Daichi's blind spot! Without holding anything back, she punched Daichi mercilessly!
[06:44] <Meredith> "You are not alone!"
 01[06:45] * Daichi slammed into the wall, "It's easy enough to say isn't it? I'm done listening!" Daichi prepped his sword
[06:48] <Miranda> "W-What's wrong with him?!"
 06[06:52] <Canis> "Wh-what the--? So you're taking them to hell? Because you're alone? How about watching people around you die and forget you so you end up befriending them again? And that you've probably seen them die so many times before? That people you've befriended have probably seen you die and forget them?"
 06[06:52] <Canis> "I can only remember back a couple days and I'm fed up with this! You feel alone, so you want to kill us all and die? That's... It's fine to keep on living and trying again... You can still be happy even through that much! "
 01[06:54] * Daichi hesitated, something Canis said seemed to come through, "I-I...But...Wouldn't I be happier if..." he looked at the floor, "You're saying I can really be happy alone? But...What about someone to love me?"
 01[06:56] * Marie cringes.  "D-daichi...  Earlier, you said you couldn't trust people, right...?  W-well look where me not trusting you has got us!"
[06:58] <Daichi> "Trust...? That's not what I'm looking for...I feel so cold now...There's something wrong with this place."
 01[07:00] * Marie walks up to Daichi, her eyes watering a little.  "Y-you need trust first..."  She leans in and hugs him tightly.
 01[07:01] * Daichi drops his sword, "My back...G-Get off...Get away..." he tears up, hugging back some
 06[07:03] <Canis> "I'm saying that as long as there's people around, even if you feel alone again and again, if you give up you can't find anything. I..." Canis made a sad smile at the hug "Like I'd said, you're welcome for the night. Figure it out slowly. You can't grow love overnight."
 06[07:04] <Canis> [grow love in just one day***."]
[07:05] <Daichi> "You're right, I...I don't need love to happy, even when I'm alone..." he hugged Marie tightly, "I'll keep looking...And hope that with a full heart I can find my love."
 01[07:06] * Marie strokes his hair with one hand, still hugging with the other.  "I'm sorry for toying with you before...  I really am..."  She smiles sincerely.  "G-good luck, Daichi..."
 01[07:07] * Daichi looked to his sword on the ground, "I'm...I'm going to abandon my life in the yakuza." he let go of Marie, "Thank you maids for taking good care of me. I'll have to hire my own at my new mansion." he wiped his eyes, "I'll never forget you..." he started to stumble out of the room
[07:08] <Miranda> "B-Bye Daichi. Y-You're free to come back again...If it's OK with the master."
[07:09] <Daichi> "Thank you Miranda..." he smiles softly at her as he leaves the room, snapping his fingers " 4Hazuki"
[07:09] <Marie> "So long, Daichi..."  She bows with an actual attempt at modesty for a change.
[07:10] <Miranda> "W-Who?" she whispers to Canis.
 01[07:10] * Meredith awkwardly picks up her weapon again and has it disappear along with herself.
 06[07:10] <Canis> "Oi! Remember us whenever it gets too much... You're welcome to stay for the night."
 01[07:10] * Hazuki appears next to his master. "...ahem."
[07:10] <Daichi> "I'm sory for running off...Is the car fixed? I'm ready to go. Tell Natascha I'm leaving the gang."
[07:11] <Hazuki> "Of course it's fixed. Very good, sir, I shall tell her." Hazuki opens the door.
[07:12] <Miranda> "W-Why don't we have one of those?"
 01[07:12] * Daichi follows Hazuki outside, waving. "That was really a close one, huh? Goodbye!"
 06[07:13] * Canis tilts her head back and tosses it, looking at him with her revealed eyes, some sort of sad, yet enduring expression on her face.
 06[07:13] <Canis> "Bye."
 01[07:13] * Marie waves after Daichi, smiling rather sadly.
 01[07:14] * Hazuki starts up the car. "Who are they?"
[07:15] <Daichi> "Ahh, yes. Some maids. I'd like to request some myself once we arrive at my new mansion." Daichi clambers into the car,
[07:16] <Hazuki> "Maids, sire?" Hazuki shrugs. "What for?"
 06[07:16] <Canis> "Oi. Miranda."
[07:16] <Daichi> "It's a big mansion, why tend to it all yourself? And besides...They're quite fun, maids are. Some cute ones~"
[07:16] <Miranda> "Y-Yes?"
 06[07:17] <Canis> "C-... Can I have one of those?"
 01[07:17] * Hazuki shrugs. "What's the worst that could happen, anyways?"
 01[07:18] * Daichi relaxed in the backseat, "We'll see~"
 07[07:18] * Meredith (chatzilla@sux-53F98490.lightspeed.sntcca.sbcglobal.net) Quit (Client exited )
 01[07:19] * Hazuki drives off. Oh, those words.
[07:21] <Miranda> "Ah...Umm...O-OK, but I kind of stick from the furnace..." she reaches out and gives her a big ol' Miranda hug.
 07[07:21] * Daichi is now known as Becky
 01[07:22] * Becky exits her room, looking bandaged up. "What was all that noise?" she called down
[07:22] <Becky> Vincent's room*
 06[07:22] * Canis smiled slightly and hugged back with one arm. She almost felt like collapsing. Maybe she'd do it later.
 06[07:22] <Canis> "Yeah, I was it in too. I'm worse."
 01[07:23] * Marie laughs a little, holding both hands together up to one side of her face.  "D'aaaaaaw~" ...  Her blouse slides down almost halfway off.
 01[07:23] * Becky hmphs and heads back into Vincent's room
[07:23] <Miranda> "Y-Yeah...You err...you kind of smell..." she smiles a bit after the hug but takes a few steps back. "I'll let you s-shower first."
 07[07:25] * Becky (garizard@sux-E42D2569.broadband.gorge.net) has left #MaidRP
 07[07:25] * Becky (garizard@sux-E42D2569.broadband.gorge.net) has joined #MaidRP
