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...]

[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.]

[splitthebaby]

That doesn't mean their intelligence is high. Talking to a bee is like trying to speak with a brick wall. The most many are concerned about it getting their current task done and have no thoughts aside from that.

[ex_seventh238]

[can you really sleep when these shenanigan stirrers are actively talking about

insects

thanks for the topic btw rachel]

So they can only process certain commands, but be incapable of autonomous thought outside of those. Is that what you're saying?

[silpheed]

[Yep really it's a good thing Nago can make such a comfy cushion... one of his few good uses really.]

[splitthebaby]

They only process commands from their Queen. Even I can't imitate such a thing.

[ex_seventh238]

Haven't humans been successful in imitating the hive's commands to a degree, in order to harvest honey from the bees?

[pat yourself on the back rachel

you're handling this better than charles]

[silpheed]

[after her humongous freakout that's honestly a bit sad... charles you can handle them rachel believes in you!!

in the meantime though yep still sleeping]

[splitthebaby]

That's just manipulation. I would never sink to such a level to work with animals.

[ex_seventh238]

I think you're making this out to be a bigger case than it really is, but then again, you always overreact when it comes to animals.

[...]

What kind of 'queen' do you think that we have here, then?

[silpheed]

[turning over a bit here and yawning, but she's still in a solid sleep]
