Circe's Manor THE NEXT

[AmbushCat]

"That was some story. And you just keep cleaning from there on out? I guess you get hit by colors often? Is that part of the job," said Mike as he looked back at the employee's door.

Abby: Depends on the situation and the person. When you're Violet, you don't know what's going on most of the time or otherwise can't comprehend. If I recall, someone cut up another Fruit and put it in a sandwich as a practical joke. ...And then again, at another time.

Uh-huh... Well, as fascinating as all that sounds, I really don't think it's for me...

*ears twitch* Whatever floats your boat, lady. ... Yeah, it's probably for the best.

"Who was that?" asked Mike referring to the maid who had waved at them.

Abby: That would be... *takes a few steps closer and squints, trying to spot the maid's ID tag*

Abby: That would be... *takes a few steps closer and squints, trying to spot the maid's ID tag*

*Abby sees that her name is Rose! She's on the posters, too, so presumably she's part of the band.*

*ears twitch* Whatever floats your boat, lady. ... Yeah, it's probably for the best.

Yeah... So, are you just going to keep hanging out here, or what? Just asking.

[Maiden Miki]

"You do not know their name? Don't you two work together?" laughed Mike as he saw the maid struggle to read the ID tag.

[AmbushCat]

Abby: Rose and I don't share the same shift, or even work the same part of the Manor on most days (for which I am thankful). Don't be too surprised.

------------

Well, mental assault notwithstanding, I'd rather my boss not be dead weight. *gestures at Callista* I'll take her to the Mungojerrie when she wakes up.

"I am still colored surprised. Wow. I guess this is a pretty big place then if you two rarely see each other. Wonder how you get a job like that."

All right... You sure you don't want to wait somewhere more comfortable, though?

"I am still colored surprised. Wow. I guess this is a pretty big place then if you two rarely see each other. Wonder how you get a job like that."

*Rose chimes in from below.* That depends on who you're talking to. People end up here in all sorts of ways...

[AmbushCat]

"I am still colored surprised. Wow. I guess this is a pretty big place then if you two rarely see each other. Wonder how you get a job like that."

Abby: Back when Lady Circe first got started with this, it was either through force or through assorted recruiters. Nowadays, new hires only come about if they ask to work here or if someone angers her sufficiently.

*Rose chimes in from below.* That depends on who you're talking to. People end up here in all sorts of ways...

Abby: Well, that too, yeah.

Like where?

Abby: Well, that too, yeah.

"Really? So if I ask if I could work here then I will get hired?" asked Mike with a laugh. Though he certainly had no plans to get anybody angry here. Though he had plenty of curiosity. He then looked over at Rose and asked, "End up here? Like at this manor or as maids?"

[Ookalf]

Like where?

The dining room, maybe? It's right next to here, and the chairs are probably softer than the floor here...

Abby: Well, that too, yeah.

Oh, uh, sorry if I interrupted you there... Just thought I'd chime in.

As maids, yeah. What she said was basically right...

[AmbushCat]

The dining room, maybe? It's right next to here, and the chairs are probably softer than the floor here...

Meh. She's not partial. She likes sleeping in duffel bags, for crying out loud.

Callista: *murmurs in her sleep* Yes, Zapana's a great friend. Pass the ketchup...

...Though on second thought, that doesn't sound like a bad idea.

Oh, uh, sorry if I interrupted you there... Just thought I'd chime in.

Abby: *waves off the apology* Whatever.

As maids, yeah. What she said was basically right...

*Abby nods her head, but doesn't seem interested in adding into to that. ...Or else she doesn't care. Knowing her, probably the latter.*

[Maiden Miki]

"Huh. That does sound interesting. Do you hire people on a temporary basis? Sounds like something fun to try out," laughed Mike.

[AmbushCat]

Abby: *eyebrow raises* You're talking as if you want to be transformed, sir.

[Maiden Miki]

"Wait? I got to be transformed for this? Oh wow. Didn't think about that," laughed Mike who actually sounded surprised by this.

[Ookalf]

"Huh. That does sound interesting. Do you hire people on a temporary basis? Sounds like something fun to try out," laughed Mike.

If you want, we could call Miss Circe up and ask if she'll hire you...

Meh. She's not partial. She likes sleeping in duffel bags, for crying out loud.

Callista: *murmurs in her sleep* Yes, Zapana's a great friend. Pass the ketchup...

...Though on second thought, that doesn't sound like a bad idea.

*The maid giggles.* Sure thing! Just head right through there. *She points to a nearby set of double doors.*

[Maiden Miki]

"Meh. Alright. Sounds like something that we can do. It could be at least interesting. Didn't know it involved transformation but it could be something to do," laughed Mike as he followed the maid.
