(9)Maids - Session 1

[22:31] <[9]GM> The day is exceedingly hot, as the sun shines overhead. A large metal van travels down the road at fifty miles an hour, just barely speeding. As it flies down the road a mansion appears in the distance, a pearly white estate glistening with the light of the sun.
[22:32] <[9]GM> The van draws closer, and it becomes apparent that many of the windows have their curtains drawn. Possibly a sign of a reclusive millionaire? The vehicle soon pulls up in front of what's almost a palace, and the driver steps out of the vehicle.
[22:32] <[9]GM> He walks to the back and knocks on the door, giving a signal to his partner inside.
[22:33] <[9]GM> "Alright, I'm opening the doors now."
[22:34] <[9]GM> A man steps out of the doors, pulling a girl along with him. Her arms are chained together behind her back, and a collar currently hangs from her neck with a chain leash.
[22:35] * Klaymen ([email protected]) Quit ( Quit: telefragged )
[22:37] * Alicel gets tugged along, her glasses nearly fallng off as she mutters to herself under her breath.
[22:37] <Alicel>  At least they let me keep my glasses and clothes...
[22:37] <[9]GM> The first man turns to the girl and smirks.
[22:38] <[9]GM> "Your new master is inside this place. Looks like he's probably buying you to take his stress out on, so we'll just watch you go in."
[22:38] * Alicel is a well-off girl in her early twenties, daintily clothed in a cheap slave's garb, but seems well mannered.
[22:39] * Alicel nods ever so slightly and goes along with the person.
[22:39] <[9]GM> The first man tells his partner to follow, and they walk up a set of steps to a pair of large double doors. The second man opens them and nudges Alicel.
[22:40] <[9]GM> "Go on, get in there."
[22:40] * Alicel knocks on the mansion door three times, no more, no less and awaits someone to greet them.
[22:41] <[9]GM> The first man shakes his head.
[22:41] <[9]GM> "The owner's weird. He paid us in advance for you, but he didn't show up when we came here earlier."
[22:42] <Alicel>  huh?..
[22:42] <[9]GM> "Yeah." The second man chimes in. "So just go inside so we can get out of here."
[22:42] * Alicel sighs..
[22:43] <Alicel>  At least unchain me you sexy brutes, I can't serve them like this.
[22:43] <[9]GM> The first man kicks her in the back of the knee and shoves her into the mansion's doors.
[22:44] <[9]GM> "You're a slave, bitch. Deal with it."
[22:44] <[9]GM> Saying that, he shuts the door. Footsteps can be heard outside, followed by the van cranking up and taking off.
[22:45] * Alicel gets in without much resistance as she waits for someone to come get here. Everyone here is so... Alien.
[22:45] <[9]GM> The interior of the mansion is dimly lit, and the decor is over-the-top. A regal multi-layer chandelier hangs above the slave, and swings a little from the door closing.
[22:46] * [BNS]Maria is perched upon the chandelier, watching the new arrival with interest...
[22:47] <[BNS]Maria> New toy for Master~
[22:47] <Alicel> eh?...
[22:48] * Alicel looks up where the voice originated from and shifts her glasses squinting.
[22:49] * [BNS]Maria disappears in a poof
[22:50] * [BNS]Maria reappears in a shadowy corner at the far end of the entry foyer
[22:50] <[BNS]Maria> Tee-hee!
[22:50] <Alicel> ... where did she go?
[22:51] * [BNS]Maria disappears and reappears behind the new girl, leaning over her shoulder and whispering into her ear...
[22:51] <[BNS]Maria> Over here!
[22:51] * [BNS]Maria disappears again
[22:52] * Alicel keeps looking towards the source of the noise but always one step behind.
[22:56] * [BNS]Maria reappears in front of the girl, holding her chain behind her back and leaning forward, her lips mere inches away from Alicel's
[22:56] <[BNS]Maria> Boo.
[22:57] * Alicel sighs... and grows tired and pulls out a large chaingun and fires her full of "Lead". Pewpewpewpew
[22:59] * [BNS]Maria shrieks and disappears in a puff of smoke
[22:59] <Alicel> ... Where is your master?
[22:59] <[9]GM> <Footsteps can be heard from somewhere up the staircase.>
[23:00] * Alicel quickly "puts up" her weapon, and putting on a good face~
[23:00] * [BNS]Maria doesn't respond as she appears flying above Alicel, her earlier bemused look replaced with a glare of scorn as she brandishes her chain...
[23:01] <[9]Violet> Mariaaaa. What's with all the noise? I sent you to go get my new slave, and then I hear gunfi--
[23:01] * [9]Violet shoots a glare at Maria.
[23:01] <[9]Violet> Don't even think of that.
[23:01] * [BNS]Maria pauses just as she's about to noose the girl...
[23:01] <[BNS]Maria> ...eep.
[23:02] <[9]Violet> Maria, come.
[23:02] * [BNS]Maria drops down next to Violet and tries to hide the chain.
[23:02] * Alicel returns the stare with a wink.
[23:02] <[BNS]Maria> I wasn't going to do anything, honest~ I just wanted to scare her a little~
[23:02] <Alicel>  And I scared you huh?
[23:02] * [9]Violet smirks.
[23:03] <[9]Violet> I'll scare your skin off if you don't watch yourself, Maria~
[23:03] * [BNS]Maria is assuming her customary kneeling position in front of Violet.
[23:03] * [BNS]Maria hangs her head, thoroughly chastised
[23:04] * [9]Violet takes a few steps around Maria and towards Alicel, looking her over as if inspecting a new piece of furniture.
[23:04] * Alicel blushes slightly as she's not really used to being stared like this and turns away slightly.
[23:05] <[9]Violet> You did a good job of hiding that gun... What's your name?
[23:06] <Alicel> Alicel...
[23:06] <[9]Violet> Mm. Sounds a little too nice for a slave.
[23:06] <[9]Violet> I'll just call you Alice.
[23:06] <[9]Violet> In any case, Ali--
[23:07] <[9]GM> <The doorbell rings, and the sound of footsteps is once again heard, this time running away.>
[23:07] <[9]Violet> What is it now!?
[23:08] * [BNS]Maria obediently answers the door, peering outside
[23:08] * Alicel nods and turns to whatever they were doing...
[23:08] <Alicel>  hmmm?
[23:09] <[9]GM> <On the front steps is a box with a sign that says "Junk" on it.>
[23:09] * [9]Violet peers out the door, and frowns slightly.
[23:10] <[9]Violet> Maria, bring that thing in and see what it is.
[23:10] * [BNS]Maria grabs the box and closes the door
[23:10] * [BNS]Maria brings the box over to a table and peers at it closely before putting it down
[23:11] <[9]Violet> ...Well, open it.
[23:11] * [BNS]Maria shakes, peers at, sniffs, taps, knocks on and generally tests the box thoroughly before finally deciding to open it...
[23:12] * Alicel giggles.
[23:12] <[9]GM> <Inside the box is what appears to be a girl. On her arm is an opened panel with an on/off switch.>
[23:13] * [BNS]Maria immediately recognizes the junk in the box
[23:13] <Alicel> .. what..is that?....
[23:14] * [Rut]JunkInABox has what appears to be a crack running partway down her face, along the middle of her forehead. It forks into two as it nears her nose, each stopping roughly above the bridge. There seems to be a tiny portion of her missing by her chin, like chipped porcelain.
[23:15] * [9]Violet peers over Maria's shoulder.
[23:16] <[BNS]Maria> Master, your toy is back from the repair shop, they did a bad job~
[23:16] <[9]Violet> Ah. She has... That doesn't look good.
[23:16] <Alicel> ... Toy?...
[23:17] <[BNS]Maria> Should I try turning her on and hope it's only cosmetic?
[23:17] <[9]Violet> ...Sure, why not.
[23:17] * [BNS]Maria claps happily, this is always her favorite part!
[23:18] * Alicel grows wary and readies herself for anything.
[23:18] * [BNS]Maria flips the switch with glee and quickly closes the panel before disappearing and reappearing several feet back...
[23:18] * [9]Violet runs back a couple feet.
[23:18] * Alicel does the same.. this can't be good.
[23:19] * [Rut]JunkInABox 's arms spring outwards, puncturing the box's sides. She rises (with box still attached.)
[23:19] <[Rut]JunkInABox> ...Congratulations on your purchase of the <N/D> Edition of the S-Series Integrated Homemaking Platform, STELLA[v1.05]!
[23:20] <[9]Violet> ...Well, she still moves.
[23:20] <Alicel>  A.. a robot...?
[23:20] * [BNS]Maria rolls her eyes as the silly thing repeats her startup spiel for the umpteenth time
[23:20] * [Rut]STELLA bows, tearing the box further. It now hangs loosely on her head by a corner.
[23:21] <[Rut]STELLA> How is it! The pleasing of the unit to acquaint you!
[23:21] <[9]Violet> Maria, get that thing off of her.
[23:21] * [Rut]STELLA blinks.
[23:21] <[Rut]STELLA> ... How is it! There is seemingly a misconstrual in my *ksssht* error!  I am error.
[23:21] * [BNS]Maria whips her chain out towards Stella and with a few lightning fast strikes, the box explodes into confetti, leaving the robot untouched.
[23:22] <[9]Violet> Good girl.
[23:22] * [9]Violet turns back towards Alicel.
[23:22] * [BNS]Maria giggles as she coils the chain up
[23:23] * Alicel does not get any of this... she doesn't remember Robots existed during her time down there...
[23:23] <[9]Violet> These are two of your colleagues. Maria with the whip, and Stella with the crack in her face.
[23:23] * Alicel bows towards both of them.
[23:23] <[Rut]STELLA> Pa--Zet--...
[23:23] * [Rut]STELLA frowns. She closes her eyes. The high whir of what sounds like a small fan can be heard.
[23:23] <Alicel> A pleasure to meet both of you. *her glasses fall onto the floor*
[23:23] * [BNS]Maria hmphs and snubs Alice, still testy about the whole 'being shot' thing.
[23:24] <[Rut]STELLA> ....
[23:25] <[9]Violet> ...Alice, you go with Stella and check the basement for pests. Maria, follow me back upstairs.
[23:25] <[BNS]Maria> Yes Master~
[23:26] * [Rut]STELLA remains still, with her eyes closed.
[23:26] * [9]Violet turns and walks back towards the staircase, looking back at Alice and Stella before heading up.
[23:26] * [BNS]Maria floats through the air, obediently following Violet up the stairs
[23:26] * [Rut]STELLA whrrrrrrrr...
[23:26] <Alicel> Of course.
[23:26] * Alicel turns to Stella. "Alicel, call me Alice miss."
[23:27] <[Rut]STELLA> ..lang_M_fnd has performed an illegal operation. T E R M I N A T I N G ...
[23:28] <[Rut]STELLA> Two (2) Errors: -Cannot terminate critical function.* -Device not responding.* | Please refer to Part 7, Section 12, Paragraph 4 of the User Warranty Agreement. STELLA will now attempt to solve the problem(s) automatically.
[23:28] <[Rut]STELLA> R U N N I N G | D I A G N O S T I C ... ... ... 12,937,389,151 problem(s) found. T R O U B L E S H O O T I N G ... ... Done. Not all problems have been resolved.
[23:29] <Alicel> ...what are you?.... a 1980's mac?
[23:29] <[Rut]STELLA> It is my pleasing to meet your person! "Alicel" has been recorded as an identifier.
[23:31] * Alicel sighs.
[23:31] <Alicel> Well... Shall we go then?
[23:32] * [Rut]STELLA nods vigorously. She takes Alicel's hand with a smile.
[23:33] * Alicel adds some resistance at first but realize she's working for them now.
[23:34] <[Rut]STELLA> Move~!
[23:34] * [Rut]STELLA suddenly bolts off towards the basement, still "clamped" onto Alicel.
[23:36] <Alicel>  yes yes.. wait Wait.. wahhhh!!
[23:40] * [Rut]STELLA comes crashing through the basement door and stops.
[23:42] * Alicel is taken with her but retains her composure somehow....
[23:42] <Alicel> W-what?
[23:43] <[Rut]STELLA> Uh oh. I splintered it. Master will be irritable of state.
[23:43] <Alicel> ..the door?
[23:44] * Alicel looks again.
[23:45] <Alicel> ...the door... huh.
[23:45] * [Rut]STELLA nods. She puts a (slightly crooked) finger on her lower lip.
[23:47] <Alicel> Well.. I think I can.. fix... it I think..
[23:48] * Alicel gathers some nearby supplies and attempts to make it look like a door again even though it looks more like an entrance gate than a door at this point.
[23:49] <[Rut]STELLA> Really? Possessing the capability?
[23:50] <Alicel> ...I'm trying... I think.
[23:53] * [BNS]Maria appears in a poof of smoke, with an annoyed look on her face.
[23:53] <[BNS]Maria> What are you newbies doing now? Master is trying to nap!
[23:54] <Alicel> A-h..
[23:54] <Alicel>  She broke this door.
[23:54] <[Rut]STELLA> ... Congruency found!
[23:55] * [Rut]STELLA 's eyes open wide and begin to glow. She stares straight at Maria.
[23:55] <Alicel> what?
[23:56] <[BNS]Maria> Oh man, Master is gonna be so mad at you~
[23:56] <[BNS]Maria> And to think that you just got back from the repair shop, now back again so quickly~
[23:56] <[Rut]STELLA> S C A N N I N G... Object found. Rename? [N]. Identified as "MARIA" at 17.36-X58.
[23:56] <[Rut]STELLA> Maria~!
[23:57] <Alicel> hmm?
[23:57] * [Rut]STELLA hugs~ A LOT.
[23:57] <[BNS]Maria> Hey! Stupid robot! Gitoff!
[23:57] * [BNS]Maria squirms and struggles
[23:57] <[BNS]Maria> I'm not done yelling at you!
[23:58] * Alicel can only look onward oddly... is this.. normal?
[00:03] * [Rut]STELLA arms move jerkily. You're pretty sure you hear a "crack" in there, somewhere...
[00:03] <Alicel> Oh.... I think that's the sound of somoething cracking...
[00:03] * Alicel taps Stella..
[00:03] <Alicel>  I think you're hurting her..
[00:04] * [BNS]Maria begins to drool a little as her eyes start to roll back into her head...
[00:07] <[Rut]STELLA> ?... Aah!! The apology, the apology! Don't die when you are killed!
[00:07] * [Rut]STELLA lets go.
[00:08] * [BNS]Maria crumples to the floor and lies there for a few seconds before her regeneration kicks in and faint slurping and snapping sounds are heard as ligaments, bone and internal organs weave themselves back into functioning order.
[00:08] <Alicel> ..how convenient.
[00:08] * [BNS]Maria blinks as she suddenly jerks awake, jumping up and floating on the air in front of STELLA.
[00:09] <[BNS]Maria> STUPID ROBOT!
[00:09] <Alicel> ...don't ever hug me Stella. I don't think I can do the same thing this girl did.
[00:09] <[9]GM> <...Inside the darkness of the basement, something scurries.>
[00:09] * [BNS]Maria batters STELLA with blows from her fists that would maim a human, yet have no effect on the robot
[00:10] <[Rut]STELLA> ... Bes?
[00:10] <Alicel> ...?
[00:10] * [Rut]STELLA turns towards the noise as Maria's fists fall on her.
[00:13] * Ataisai is now known as The_Overseer
[00:13] * Tesla is now known as Audet
[00:14] * [Rut]STELLA points down further into the basement.
[00:14] * Pygmalion is now known as Pygmalion[INACTIVE]
[00:14] <[Rut]STELLA> Was an aural ruckus present from where you stands?
[00:15] * Alicel shakes her head accompanied with a no.
[00:15] * [BNS]Maria continues her beratement of the robot with a zeal that shows no sign of letting up any time soon...
[00:17] <Alicel>  Shall we go look then?
[00:20] * [Rut]STELLA 's eyes light up again, this time illuminating the way in front of her.
[00:21] * [BNS]Maria is still harassing the robot, this will probably continue until something draws her attention
[00:22] * Alicel looks onward, her "button" ready to fire at anytime.
[00:22] <[9]GM> <This time something lets out a loud squeak.>
[00:22] * Alicel jumps up and yelps a little.
[00:23] * [BNS]Maria jumps up as well
[00:23] <[BNS]Maria> Wait, why am I down here? I should be helping the Master. Yes yes, helping the Master, going now, yes, leaving, yes yes...
[00:23] * Alicel holds Maria..
[00:24] <Alicel> It'll be more efficient if you help us investigate this noise.
[00:24] <[BNS]Maria> Nnnnooo!! Lemme go!
[00:24] * [BNS]Maria flails in the air helplessly as she's dragged along with the others!
[00:25] <Alicel>  Just where is that noise coming from?....
[00:25] <[9]GM> <The basement is still dark and oppressing. The squeaking continues, and seems to be coming from behind a stack of large boxes.
[00:29] <[Rut]STELLA> Task[Boxes, Move]. C A L L I N G | M E T H O D... Done.
[00:29] * [Rut]STELLA attempts to move the boxes. One by one. With a mechanical motion resembling the robot dance.
[00:29] <Alicel>  Are you really a robot?...
[00:30] <[BNS]Maria> Of /course/ she's a robot! Did you think anyone /normal/ talks like that?!
[00:30] <Alicel> Well..like this?
[00:31] * Alicel pulls out her dreaded machinegun again.
[00:32] * [Rut]STELLA looks down dejectedly.
[00:32] <[Rut]STELLA> The linguistics core does not go all the way. I owe an apology...
[00:33] * Alicel looks or tries looking when all the boxes are removed to see what this noise is.
[00:35] <[9]GM> <A huge rat cowers in the corner. It turns and hisses at the girls.>
[00:35] * [BNS]Maria SCREAMS!
[00:36] <Alicel> Oi...
[00:36] <[BNS]Maria> LEMME GO!!
[00:36] <Alicel> ...is that it?
[00:36] <[9]GM> <The rat tries to dig into the pavement with no success.>
[00:36] <Alicel> ...so.. what shall we do with it?
[00:37] * [BNS]Maria tugs furiously on Alice's grip on her leg, which to Alice feels like a light wind is trying to pull Maria from her hand
[00:37] <[Rut]STELLA> He was found. Warming up Industrial U-S Ion Scrubber.
[00:37] <Alicel> Hey... Are you scared.... of a rat?
[00:38] * [BNS]Maria is too crazed and hysterical to even register hearing Alice's question
[00:38] * [Rut]STELLA 's hand "unfolds" into a triangular, revolving device emitting a blue glow and a low frequency warble. The room starts to feel hotter, all of a sudden.
[00:39] <Alicel> ...suddenly.. I should feel like I should leave this rooom now.
[00:40] <[9]GM> <The rat shrieks in terror, and lets a gargling noise out of its mouth.>
[00:40] * [BNS]Maria is on the verge of tears...!
[02:11] * Alicel pulls Maria out of the air and into a light hug.
[02:13] <[BNS]Maria> Eh?!
[02:13] <[BNS]Maria> What the...?!
[02:13] * [BNS]Maria squirms and struggles
[02:13] <[BNS]Maria> Gitoffme!
[02:14] <Alicel>  You're scared right?
[02:14] <[BNS]Maria> T-that's ridiculous!
[02:16] <Alicel>  Then why are you still shaking?
[02:17] * [BNS]Maria goes silent and broods as she resigns herself to this humilation...
[02:17] * Alicel chuckles as she ruffles your hair with one hand holding you with the otehr since you are pretty light.
[02:20] <Alicel>  Now then... I think we have a rodent problem to take care of...
[00:43] <[9]GM> <The rat curls up into a ball and shakes.>
[00:43] <[Rut]STELLA> ...
[00:43] * Alicel lets Maria down and picks up the rat with her hand...
[00:43] <[Rut]STELLA> ?
[00:44] <Alicel>  I think vaporizing this rat would do more harm to this house than needed.
[00:44] <[Rut]STELLA> Target is eclipsed. Operation aborted.
[00:45] * [Rut]STELLA puts away her "broom".
[00:45] <[9]GM> <The rat uncurls, and looks at Alicel.>
[00:45] <Alicel>  Its a hard life isn't it? Living off of scraps from other people as you slow die on the inside.
[00:46] <[9]GM> <The rat continues to stare at Alicel... With its three eyes.>
[00:46] * Alicel stares back at it with equal intent...
[00:47] <Alicel>  What is it that you want?
[00:53] <[9]GM> <The rat sniffs Alicel's hand and looks back up at her suspiciously. It then digs its fangs into her palm.>
[00:56] * [BNS]Maria SCREAMS AGAIN
[00:57] * Alicel winces.
[00:57] <Alicel> .. Oww...
[00:57] * [Rut]STELLA gasps.
[00:58] * Alicel squirms at first but lets the Rat do his/her thing.
[00:58] <[9]GM> <The rat continues to bite Alicel's hand, practically gnawing on it.>
[00:58] <[BNS]Maria> What is WRONG with you! You're sick!
[00:58] * [BNS]Maria tries to kick the rat out of Alice's hand!
[00:58] * Alicel sighs.
[00:58] <Alicel>  Are you done with my hand now Rat?
[01:00] <[Rut]STELLA> Naughty, naughty rodent! People are not for satiation!
[01:00] * [Rut]STELLA wags a finger at the rat.
[01:07] * [BNS]Maria manages to knock the rat free from Alice's hand!
[01:08] <[9]GM> <The rat flies from Alicel's hand and lands on the pavement with a loud thud. It continues to lay motionless, and you can't help but wonder if the kick was too hard.>
[01:08] <Alicel> Oh wow..
[01:10] * Alicel sighs as her hand drips with blood..damn it stings.
[01:11] <[9]GM> <Suddenly, there's growling from the other side of the basement.>
[01:12] <Alicel>  So much for diplomacy.
[01:13] * [BNS]Maria stops dead in her tracks
[01:13] <[BNS]Maria> ...no...
[01:14] <[9]GM> <The growling continues, along with an occasional squeak.>
[01:14] <[Rut]STELLA> Alicel, your hand! Is it serviceable?
[01:15] * [Rut]STELLA is not paying attention, focused on Alicel with a concerned expression.
[01:17] <Alicel> ..its fine. We can fix it later..
[01:17] * Alicel chuckles.
[01:18] <[9]GM> <The growling creature starts to approach the girls.>
[01:19] <Alicel>  It seems this thing doesn't want to play nice....
[01:19] * Alicel .oO(Why.. on my first day.. ;_;)
[01:21] * [BNS]Maria hides behind STELLA
[01:21] <Alicel> Bring it you monster... I'm done playing nice.
[01:23] * [Rut]STELLA turns.
[01:23] <[Rut]STELLA> Eh? Ocular Thermal Extensions do not respond. What goes there?
[01:23] <[9]GM> <A giant rat, about the size of a doberman, crouches at the other end of the room.>
[01:24] <Alicel> Oh look! A cutie!
[01:24] * [BNS]Maria faints
[01:24] * [9]Rat snarls at STELLA.
[01:26] <Alicel>  I think it likes you~
[01:26] * [Rut]STELLA stares.
[01:27] * [9]Rat charges at STELLA.
[01:27] <[Rut]STELLA> ... ERROR: Mass parameter does not fit "Rat" type. Revising...
[01:27] <[Rut]STELLA> Doggie~
[01:28] * Alicel giggles.
[01:29] * [Rut]STELLA HUG~
[01:29] * [9]Rat screeches as one of its bones break.
[01:30] <Alicel> Oh my!
[01:30] <Alicel> You two fit so well together~
[01:32] <Alicel> Too bad its dead.
[01:33] * Alicel pulls out her chaingun and hits it, ack.. the pain! And isntead I drop it as opposed to swing it on him.
[01:33] * [9]Rat struggles.
[01:35] * [9]Rat attempts to get away, but is only squeezed tighter.
[01:36] <[Rut]STELLA> Alicel! Attention to detail is needed in medicine practice! Please be cautioned!
[01:36] <Alicel> Awww... We should keep it as a pet~
[01:36] * [Rut]STELLA , distracted again, squeezes tighter.
[01:38] <Alicel> Oh look Stella, I think it likes you.
[01:38] <Alicel> Hug it some more~
[01:41] <Alicel> I'll promise to feed it!
[01:41] <[Rut]STELLA> It is waiting compatible! Let us medicate you upstairs.
[01:44] <Alicel> Ok!
[01:45] <Alicel> Bring it upstairs with you and we'll patch me up.
[01:47] <[Rut]STELLA> Mmm...
[01:47] * [Rut]STELLA tries to carry the doggie with her.
[01:48] <[9]GM> <And so, Stella and Alicel went upstairs with the "doggie" as Maria was left downstairs...>
[01:48] <[9]GM> <To be continued.>
