You're the Next Princess of the Nadesico

[hontobakabaka]

[Ruri had always been a direct girl, raised to be a computer interface for the most part due to a bombing of a fertility clinic, had that not happened she'd have been the oldest child and only daughter of the King of Peaceland, Mayfield has chosen to give her those memories]

A - 947 Beulah St (Backdated to the first day)

[Waking up Ruri sighed at the banal existence here and decided today was the day she was going to do something about it. Heading outside and into the ship she'll be seen poking around, humming something and looking generally cheerful as opposed to blank and deadpan.]

Phone -

Citizens of Mayfield, first I would like to open that drab ship up to all as an actual high class hotel and spa. There is a hot springs and over 100 rooms with full amenities, if anyone would like to help in that venture I could use a competent staff. That and if there is a tailor among you, I would kill for some actual nice clothes, ones that were made by someone who has any sort of fashion sense at all.

B - Around town

[Ruri is out, she looks animated, and she's making lots of purchases downtown of household things, occasionally she'll go into a shop and try to haggle with the clerks, and other times she'll try and confuse one of the drones into a deal. Either way she's not acting her normal self.]

Ruri-chan? By nice clothes... do you mean, maybe you'd like to go shopping together?

[hontobakabaka]

Hrm, its always more fun to do that as a group!

phone;

[gandere]

Well, sign me up as a customer.

... do I have to really pay for it or something?

[hontobakabaka]

Cleaning, system maintenance and resources aren't free, but the rates are quite reasonable. I'm not looking to rip people off, just continue running.

[gandere]

Ugh, but I'm no good with money. Listen, how about I don't have my Servant rob you and you just let me stick around a bit? Besides, he can always help out by keeping it well protected.

[hontobakabaka]

Hrm. Well I can definitely allow free spa use for security work. The rooms have a certain power draw and nuclear material is harder to obtain than you would think here.

[gandere]

[ "You lost me." ]

Right, so I can use the spa while he just does all the work around the place, right?

[hontobakabaka]

Yes, I think I'd be all right with that. He's good with a mop, right?

[gandere]

Yeah, yeah. He's the best at a mop. If not him, I've got someone else I can bully that's great at cleaning.

[hontobakabaka]

Then I believe it will be a pleasure doing business with you.

A spa is just what this place needs, and there is some decent clothes in town if you look around. It just takes a good eye.

[hontobakabaka]

True, but they all seem so off the rack and I'm loathe to go that way if I can find an actual tailor.

[queen_of_swords]

True. I think there are a few tailors in town. I find that with tailors you need to make sure the one you go with will listen to your input without getting huffy.

[hontobakabaka]

Oh, I don't know. Fashion isn't my training, I just know I have to wear the best or people will talk.

[queen_of_swords]

[She sighs.]

Isn't that the truth. You would think people would have something more interesting to talk about than what someone is wearing, like maybe who showed up on their doorstep in the middle of the night or how they paid for said clothes and where they wore it to.

[hontobakabaka]

Well, when you're the only daughter of the king of the largest European economy, its easy to figure out HOW you paid for said clothes. As for late night business, those things are best kept quiet.

[queen_of_swords]

Yes, but it's hard to keep bored nosy women from trying to figure that out. Sometimes, subpar clothing throws them off the best.

But, we were talking about clothes for a business, the finest is always best when it comes to staffing a hotel, it's all about atmosphere.

[hontobakabaka]

No, we're talking about clothes for me. They can remove me from civilization, surround me by lunatics, give me odd military hardware but I will find a way to make a profit from it all.

[best_weapon_ever]

I could cook for you. I'm a great cook!

[hontobakabaka]

If you are willing to come to the ship so I can take a look over your skills I have several openings for chefs.

[best_weapon_ever]

I'll be there in a flash. Should I bring over my own ingredients and pans, or do you have some?

[hontobakabaka]

It may be best to bring your own. That way you are intimately associated with them.

[best_weapon_ever]

I can do that. Is there anything specific you'd like for me to make during the demonstration?

[hontobakabaka]

Make what you are most comfortable with.

[best_weapon_ever]

Then you'll be getting some Japanese cuisine! I hope you're ready for this. Should I head to the ship, or your house?
