PHONE;
[HELLO MAYFIELD the day of reckoning has come. meaning you get not one irritated, bossy and rude immortal on your phone lines today, you get two!!]

As most of you know, things are getting rather busy around here. That means there's less and less time for menial tasks and chores.

Because that is the case, we have decided that now is the best time to look for some sort of hired help. After all, I doubt that you people really have anything better to do. [RACHEL PLS at least try to make a good impression.] If you are such a person--and you likely are--and also excel at household chores, we now have a proposition for you.

We'll be holding a short audition at the high school auditorium at noon sharp today for those who are interested. Don't fret about pay, it will be a rate which you certainly won't deserve. [now it's tagteam bad impressions...]

If you're late, please do not waste our time by coming. That will be enough of an indicator that you would do a poor job serving. With that said though, I look forward to any who come to audition. It may be difficult, but do your best to at least be somewhat competent. [what a charming young lady you have the potential to serve right]

Thank you in advance for your consideration, and enjoy the rest of your morning. [no it's too late to fix the rudeness of this phone call now but he apparently doesn't see anything wrong with ending on this note...]

ACTION;
[for those brave souls who actually decide to go see what this thing is all about, they'll find a sign on the outside of the auditorium doors that simple says "auditions here" in neat script. inside the auditorium itself, the stage is well-lit and a table is set up in front of it, where Rachel and Charles are currently sitting with a couple of papers, pencils and what appears to be half of a tea set.

APPROACH WITH CAUTION the judgment begins before you even step on the stage...]

Not serious?

[Now, now you didn't just go there.]

I've served my beloved master for over a thousand years. None takes service more seriously than myself.

And I've had over a decade of practice in common household chores, so that's definitely an unfair accusation, Charles!

[yeah come back man, WHAT'S THE HURRY...]

[thankfully Rachel's giving him an excellent out here...! he holds both hands up in a gesture that clearly states I am washing my hands of this situation and all of you.]

Loyalty is an excellent quality, but compatibility is also important. [NO COMPATIBILITY HERE]

Oh, do you have a problem with Ciel?

Not that I know of, we get along quite well... [looks at him

totally innocent here

don't be mean charles :(]

We get along fairly well, but that isn't my issue. [they only really get along when they're tagteam trolling other people lbr... the rest of the time it's Charles tolerating trolling for the promise of good food.]

If there's animosity between any parties here, the entire situation would become problematic quickly, you know?

I doubt there is any animosity. I think it's just...

[Thinks quietly for a second.]

...what is that Japanese word I am looking for...

[yes charles

and do you really want to make the situation worse for yourself]

Tsundere?

[SO HELPFUL, CIEL]

[HE RECOGNIZES THAT WORD purely because he's been called it before... but he still doesn't know what it means and he feels like asking about it now would be a nail in the coffin.]

Have you a different definition of animosity than I?

Thank you, Ciel.

But sometime you have to look underneath the underneath.

You're welcome, and oh no, tsundere has nothing to do with animosity. You don't need to tell me that though, Merem, I'm fairly certain that I know Charles better than you do. Still, he'd give even Tohsaka-san a good run for her money, don't you think?

[who cares about the last nail when you're 7 feet under anyway

and oops now he's apparently being compared to someone else... YOUR LIFE, CHARLES]

If that has nothing to do with animosity, I'm fairly certain you're incorrect in applying it to this situation. [waves a hand adamantly! he wasn't even talking about himself he was talking about Rachel's aversion to Merem. how did things turn out like this...]

Who?

Tohsaka Rin. It doesn't need much explaining, trust me.

Does that mean you agree, Merem?

[don't worry about it charles

seriously

just don't]

[douthite]

Who is Tohsaka Rin? Are you talking about the person that house-ruining beast was looking for a while back? [wrong Rin...]

She has a few beasts who bow to her every whim but none of them are house ruining, no. In fact, if one of them ruined a house, he would probably get on his hands and knees and beg for forgiveness.

I can't say I agree, Ciel. I was speaking more of our other party here.

One of them ruined more than just a house here, though. [/cheap shot... they really are secretly assholes]

Eh? Miss Alucard? Hmm... I suppose that I can see it, but that means we're dealing with two of them? ...Goodness. No wonder the atmosphere's so distorted here. The case seems contagious among blood drinkers who pose as children, too. You don't feel any symptoms now, do you? [peering at merem in ~genuine concern~...

and it's ok if they lost you, charles. this is prooobably one of those convos you're better off not following period, let's be honest here.]

[yeah he's getting the feeling he's not going to get anywhere by asking questions here...!

SO he will just pour himself a fresh cup of tea and go back to working on his very accurate notes on the participants so far.... while looking like he's in the process of developing a massive headache.

next time he will leave a sign on the door that declares the auditorium a no shenanigans zone!!]

I am very honest with myself, Ciel.

[No, he's not but at least he isn't tsundere about it.]

That's true, you just have difficulty expressing your feelings in any way whatsoever sometimes. A loss of words is quite different from outright denial, or pretending to be aloof and indifferent about something that you actually care for a great deal about.

[charles

hey charles

are you still listening, charles

there's something like an actual definition here charles

did you catch that charles]

[of course he's still listening, he's not as good at tuning people out as his copilot over there...!

and he is not very pleased with what he hears at all, gosh!! BUT HE'S GOING TO TRY NOT RISING TO THE BAIT.... it is very difficult for him.]

If you're going to have a conversation, be kind enough to take it outside. We do have work to accomplish here, you know.

I really have no idea what you're talking about, Ciel.

[Did you say something, Charles?]

[she will just

chuckle brightly]

If you say so, Merem. At least you can be wise and cool about it.

[oops she didn't hear charles there apparently, so guess who's not moving...]

[keywords etc...]

There isn't an ounce of either of those things in any participant we've seen. [but that's more of a mutter to himself since his pride won't stand for being blatantly ignored twice!! but he stands after that, tapping his papers into a neat stack.]

I'll be on break until the next participant shows.

I think your friend is planning on leaving, Ciel.
