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...]

[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.

I've been making more of it at the Church recently because Cain really likes it also. But you're not into that, are you Charles?

[small sigh and shrug!! it's ok not everyone can understand the level of sheer godhood curry stands on............ only cain can understand her on that one!!]

That's true, I don't enjoy curry very much. We used to have a lot of it left over when Hong Kong lived in my house. [and it was eventually THROWN OUT because they're wasteful heathens!!]

But I wasn't aware that you enjoyed it.

I don't know why she tries to hide it. Why is that, Ciel?

I never hid it. The subject never came up before, and I was never asked. Is this strange? [no idea what you're talking about etc

and omg charles HDU!!]

I've never seen you cook or eat it before, so I had no reason to ask. [he just automatically assumed her favorite food was something sweet since she's baking all the time!! apparently the fact that she's baking all the time for other fattydingdongs doesn't occur to him

but he is recalling another occasion where she reacted quite bizarrely to the word curry HM...]

That's surprising. Ciel, I can't believe you've allowed this young man to get the wrong idea.

He's too young to understand, so I didn't see any need to clarify. Just think of it as an exception, okay?

[no charles

this is not the time for selective long term memory to kick in now]

I'm a little surprised, as well. [...ciel what] Too young to understand that your favorite food is curry?

[IF HE ONLY KNEW. just wait until he starts piecing those bits of selective long term memories together]

Excuses, excuses.

[I guess it's Ciel's turn to be the center of attention.]

To understand that not everyone at the Church like the same things, of course. [small shrug

charles

don't ask] Speaking of which, what should I make for dinner?

[yes answer her merem because that is

so totally relevant to you yes]

It's not exactly difficult to understand people have different taste preferences, you know. I don't understand how you managed to get that out of my saying that I had no reason to ask if curry was your favorite food. [INSULTED...]
