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...]

Comments

[oh wow it's on

i.e. Rachel slams her hands on the table and stands up to shout at Merem CRYING]

Get out immediately! I will not have you for a servant, and there is not a thing in this world that would convince me otherwise! Remove yourself from my immediate sight at once.

[splitthebaby]

[SHRUG.

Wat do Ciel]

[ex_seventh238]

...She's talking to you. If you're serious about this, it's only natural that you learn how to deal with the situation adequately when your employer losers their temper and becomes absolutely furious at something.

[nope staying out of this merem, go forth you can do this on your own]

[silpheed]

Why not go serve that Arcueid girl instead? You seem devoted enough to her that the urge to vomit rises whenever you see her, so I see no reason as to why you shouldn't.

[(⌐■_■) she's had her yell she can go back to just being a bitch now... probably.....]

[splitthebaby]

[Peeking up at Ciel.]

That sounds suspiciously like jealousy. Don't you agree?

[ex_seventh238]

[that moment when

she is legit surprised that he managed to shrug this off so effortlessly

actually no ciel will blink and reflect exactly that on her face: mild shock]

I wouldn't know about what the both of you do in your free time, now. I'm not your assigned mother anymore, I can't pay as much attention as I used to before.

[still going to give a somewhat inquisitive glance towards rachel, though... she doesn't say anything, but the question is there. CIEL HAS NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON HERE CLEARLY. Are you, Rachel, are you..??]

[silpheed]

How unfortunate for a person to be so utterly stupid; I wonder how such a lowly creature can even bare to function. [she also gives a look at ciel before just shaking her head and SIGHING; to think she thought better of her, that's a mistake rachel won't make again...]

[splitthebaby]

The real shame here is that no one can seem to speak the truth appropriately.

[ex_seventh238]

[sorry rachel they're accomplices

it's ok ciel will bring you good sweets later and bribe herself back on your neutral/good side

it's the inevitable fate of all vampire children when dealing with her]

There seems to be a lot of unresolved issues that I'm not aware of here, I think. Do you two need a moment alone?

[totally srs here]

[silpheed]

What I need is for you two to have left, oh, let's see now... [checking the time now] Approximately twenty-four seconds ago. As you can see, you two have already failed that miserably, so I would very much appreciate it if you simply left immediately and before I tear your tongues out to shove them down your throats myself.

[splitthebaby]

[Doesn't she know that they're both regen whores, that won't even work.]

We simply need to be level with ourselves, that's all.

[ex_seventh238]

...My. And you call me 'violent', Merem.

[Just going to murmur to herself and looking at Rachel with ~gennuine concern~. Nope not going anywhere HAVE FUN WITH THE REGEN HOS RACHEL]

--Ah, but please don't cause any damage to the building. There will be a gym class here, at 10 AM on Monday morning. As part of the high school staff, I'm afraid that I can't let you vandalize school property as you see fit, miss Alucard.

[priorities...]

[silpheed]

[mfw i don't think she actually does know tbh... though if she did that'd probably only give her more incentive to do it and then do it over and over c_c

and just be glad you've never seen her talk to carl or someone from home ciel CRIES]

I've already stated what I need, and I've nothing more to say on the matter. However, I'm afraid you have your expectations set rather high if you expect me to care, Ciel.

[splitthebaby]

Perhaps you should care. Rampaging supernatural creatures need to be dealt with in an appropriate manner.

[ex_seventh238]

...Oh.

Must we really, Merem? But I don't feel like working today...

[is that

ciel

complaining about something

...

well, kind of. She does seem reluctant at Merem's words, because

>Rampaging supernatural creatures need to be dealt with

come to think of it

rachel doesn't know they kill stuff like her for a living back home either, does she......]

[silpheed]

[n o p e but frankly Rachel isn't even paying attention to what they're saying since she's really just... waiting for them to leave....]

[splitthebaby]

[Just waiting for Rachel to act out

in lovelove or something.]

[ex_seventh238]

Hm, maybe not after all?

[oh are things calming down


does that mean we're back at where we started

mo_om]

[silpheed]

[looking up from her cup of tea]

Oh, you two are still here. [she seems to contemplate for a moment before just making a shooing motion with her hand LMAO] Well, go on, shoo.

[splitthebaby]

I think she's having an issue with flies, Ciel.

[ex_seventh238]

Can you communicate with them and tell them to go away, or would your power be ineffective against insects?

[silpheed]

You're speaking to the wrong person if you believe I can communicate with bugs. [she's not arakune man, and just remembering he does exist is rather unpleasant...] I am dealing with two pests, however, so I suppose you are almost on the mark.

[splitthebaby]

She happens to be speaking with me.

[Sorry Rachel. Get over yourself.]

And bugs are a little too small minded to listen to orders.

[Now Rachel is being ignored.]

[ex_seventh238]

--Oh, I was speaking to Merem. [yep and with this misunderstanding cleared she's back at talking with just him, SORRY RACHEL DEAL WITH THE SHENANIGANS HERE] So you can understand them, but they're too simplistic? What about bees? They're among the more structured of insects, if I recall correctly?

[silpheed]

[Alas she stopped paying attention again... at this rate she's just going to take a nap nothing else is getting done here.]
