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...]

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.

--Eh? But it's his audition. Do you need anything, Charles? Something to eat or drink, maybe? I didn't bring anything on me and I can't make anything here, obviously, but if you're willing to maybe wait a few hours... [/trails off

^genuine concern right there]

[the idea of having to be around one or both of them for anywhere near a few hours is enough to have him holding his hand up immediately. NOPE...]

It's whose audition? There isn't anybody in this building right now that we would hire.

Don't get Ciel started or she'll be making you a five course meal of curry.

[enjoy that elbow poke to your upper ribs merem

and that is a tiny vein pop yes]

Don't be silly, [she'd make that for herself THAT IS] it'd be of sweets! A five-course meal of just desserts may be a bit excessive, though.

[que.... what is going on here. Merem's getting a curious look]

Why curry? [he didn't think he gave off the air of someone who enjoyed curry! HM WHAT COULD THIS MEAN...

and then, to Ciel:] A bit? Save something like that for Abel, he would surely appreciate the coma that would swiftly follow a meal like that.

Why curry? Didn't Ciel tell you?

[..................ah

insert the coolest pokerface/most dry and disinterested face of neutrality ever]

What is there to tell?

[what is happening here... he feels like he just walked in on the reverse of a private joke.]

Yes, what is there indeed?

Curry is Ciel's favorite food.
