FREEMAID BURNING

[21:14]	<[huh]GM>	Last time...
[21:15]	<[huh]GM>	Schaliel was showing Nadia her room, while Florence was baking some delicious cookies. May is in charge of soup. Meanwhile, Rasul is recovering.
[21:20]	<[huh]GM>	Julius is "attending to something else"
[21:20]	<[Atai]Schaliel>	[if you know what I mean]
[21:35]	<[huh]Nadia>	And as the hour for the midday meal approaches, people begin to gather in the dining area.
[21:36]	<[huh]Nadia>	[game start]
[21:37]	* [Gtz]Florence	brings in a plate full of cookies and a pitcher of milk and sets them on the table
[21:39]	* [huh]Nadia	enters.
[21:39]	<[huh]Nadia>	Ah, so this is the dining room, is it?
[21:40]	<[Gtz]Florence>	Words are flowing out like endless rain in-to a paper cup~&#9834; They slither while they, as they slip away across the uni- Oh! Why, yes, it is.
[21:41]	* [Gtz]Florence	does a small bow
[21:41]	<[huh]Nadia>	And you are another of my brother's servants?
[21:42]	<[Gtz]Florence>	Indeed, you must be the Master's guest. Please, take a seat and we'll begin supper shortly.
[21:43]	<[huh]Nadia>	Ah, don't mind if I do...
[21:43]	* [huh]Nadia	sits.
[21:43]	<[huh]Nadia>	Such a nice place...
[21:44]	<[Gtz]Florence>	Isn't it though? There's more to come, though I won't tell anyone if you sneak away a snack before supper, I'll be right back!~
[21:45]	* [Gtz]Florence	takes off to get more foodstuffs
[21:51]	* [Gtz]Florence	re-enters the kitchen, singing something about eyes in the sky
[21:51]	* [Atai]Schaliel	appears behind Nadia's chair with her customary sizzle and scent of burnt wood.
[21:52]	* [Atai]Schaliel	leans around and forward slightly.
[21:52]	<[Gtz]Florence>	I'm imperpetual I keep the mansion cleeaan~&#9834; Hay May, how's the soup coming?
[21:52]	<[Atai]Schaliel>	Hast everything been found to be to thine liking, Miss Nadia?
[21:52]	<[huh]Nadia>	Wah!
[21:53]	* [huh]Nadia	is terribly startled by Schaliel's appearance.
[21:54]	<[huh]Nadia>	Ah... yes, yes, everything is very nice...
[21:56]	<[Atai]Schaliel>	Excellent. Should thou desire something, simply but call for me, and I shall attend to thee with haste.
[21:56]	* [Atai]Schaliel	curtsies slightly.
[21:56]	<[huh]Nadia>	Of... course.
[21:59]	<[Kly]May>	The soup seems to be coming fine.
[22:00]	<[huh]Rasul>	Excellent.
[22:00]	* [huh]Rasul	enters.
[22:00]	* [Pyg]Julius	appears, following behind his master.
[22:01]	<[Gtz]Florence>	Well I hope it's ready now, I'll get the dishes and stuff.
[22:01]	* [Atai]Schaliel	bows to Rasul.
[22:02]	<[Atai]Schaliel>	Greetings, Master.
[22:02]	<[huh]Rasul>	Good afternoon Schaliel, Florence, May.
[22:02]	<[Atai]Schaliel>	Hast the balance of the day been fair to thee?
[22:03]	<[huh]Rasul>	Very much so.
[22:03]	<[Gtz]Florence>	Oh! Good day, master. I didn't hear you come in.
[22:03]	* [Kly]May	turns, bows, and turns back to the soup.
[22:03]	<[huh]Rasul>	And Nadia, are you finding everything well?
[22:04]	<[Gtz]Florence>	And umm... Hi, Julius...
[22:04]	<[huh]Nadia>	Ah, yes, Brother.
[22:04]	* [Gtz]Florence	quickly turns around and starts working on collecting dishware
[22:04]	* [Pyg]Julius	nods in reply to Florence.
[22:08]	* [Gtz]Florence	pours a variety of drinks into several glasses. Water, wine, orange juice, ginger ale, cream soda, and some tea with a lemon in it and puts it all on a trolley containing the dish and silverware.
[22:11]	<[Gtz]Florence>	I don't know what our guest likes to drink, but I'll definitely find out!
[22:12]	<[Kly]May>	...the soup is finished.
[22:17]	<[Gtz]Florence>	Ah, good. Let's serve it up.
[22:22]	* [Gtz]Florence	empties the soup into seven bowls and adds them to the trolley, along with a basket of hot rolls and various condiments.
[22:23]	* [Atai]Schaliel	goes about the table, setting places and glasses.
[22:27]	* [Atai]Schaliel	lays out the silverware next --real silver, too-- putting everything in its place, even the ridiculous two kinds of forks. Seriously, what is up with that shit? And what is the DEAL with caravan food?
[22:27]	* [Gtz]Florence	carts off with the food towards the dining room
[22:27]	* [Kly]May	assists.
[22:28]	* [Gtz]Florence	re-enters the dining room
[22:29]	<[Gtz]Florence>	Told ya I'd be back! I'm sorry, but we've yet to properly introduce ourselves. I'm Florence White, maid of the Young Master here.
[22:30]	* [Gtz]Florence	takes off her glasses and does another little bow
[22:30]	<[huh]Nadia>	It's a pleasure to meet you. Nadia Gabir, sister of your master.
[22:32]	* [Gtz]Florence	speaking while serving food, says
[22:32]	<[Gtz]Florence>	Oh really? That's great! I never knew our master had a sister.
[22:33]	<[Gtz]Florence>	Well, another sister, that is!
[22:33]	<[Atai]Schaliel>	--Thou art fortunate this night, young Florence.
[22:34]	* [Atai]Schaliel	pauses briefly in setting the last place to look up and say this.
[22:35]	* [Atai]Schaliel	, having finished, goes to the cart, looking it over, and then begins bringing bowls to the settings; Rasul, then Nadia, then each of the other servants.
