Maid RPG(IC thread)

[Taco]

Eri muffles another timid whimper before getting up abruptly. "Ahh... I-I should get back to work! Um.. I'll get this door fixed right away so you two can... Uh..." She pokes her head out of the doorway and glances about rapidly to see if anyone was coming, looking just as flustered as ever.

[Ascension]

"No. We won't be... not tonight. Sorry, Master, I just... can't. Not after this. If you don't require my services in any... umm... other capacity... ahh... could I retire? It has been a tiring day... for all of us... sir."

[Talkkno]

"I understand. " Hira said with a sudden yawn. "Just make sure you get Eri to her room, don't worry about the door for now."

[Ascension]

"Come on Apprentice," Henrietta says gently to Eri, "Let's go."

[Taco]

Eri nods quickly as she brushes her skirt off, ready to follow Henrietta. "R-right.. Uh.. Okay."

[Talkkno]

Henrietta and Eri walked out of Hira's room, to next door, it revealed a simple room, with walls haphazardly painted in a drab white and a floor that's a dizzying pattern of tiling. It is filled with light, though rather modest. While there was a closet in the side adjacent to the door, while the bed sat next to it, with a single window jutting near the uppermost right.

[Ascension]

"Will this do, my young apprentice?" Henrietta asks Eri.

[Taco]

Coming into the room, Eri stays quiet for a moment to take in the sight. "Ooh... This is a lot better than my room at home. H-huh?" Snapping out of her daze, she turns to Henrietta before nodding quickly. "Yes! Ah.. It's a very nice room. Is it alright for me to stay in this one, though?"

[Ascension]

"Certainly!" Henrietta replies, beaming. She turns to leave the room, but stops in the doorway.

"Hey, would you mind if I stayed with you tonight? The mansion... it feels like a lot scarier place since this morning... I'd feel better if I had some company... But if you'd rather I didn't, I understand."

Henrietta blushes just a bit.

"In fact, it was silly of me to suggest it. I'll be on my way. Have a good night. Sleep well. Tomorrow will be a busy day for you."

[Taco]

Eri quirks an eyebrow at Henrietta cluelessly. "Huh? I wouldn't mind. It's the least I could do for you letting me stay here at all." Taking another look around the room, she looks from the bed to Henrietta again.

"I don't think the bed's big enough for both of us, though, but I'll be fine on the floor. It's still a lot better than being outside...

[Ascension]

"No, you take the bed. I'll take the floor. I'm the one imposing on you, after all."

[Taco]

What time is it, anyway? o.o

"No no.. I insist. Besides, it's my fault you don't have company now since.. Uh..." Eri trails off and glances back at the doorway, a flustered look on her face as she taps on the door a few times just to make sure it doesn't implode like the last one.

[Ascension]

"Oh, no, that was... that was stupid of me," Henrietta says, "I thought... I don't know what I thought. I guess I thought there was more of a connection there, and... I guess I was kind of curious what it would be like, to be loved... but... no. No, it was a bad idea. In fact... In fact I thank you... thank you for saving me from myself. From doing something like that without thinking it through first."

[Taco]

"Um... Okay." Eri gives Henrietta a confused look in response, not seeming to understand anything she had just said. "You're.. Welcome? I think. Er..."

[Ascension]

Henrietta grins.

"You're cute when you have no clue what's going on, Apprentice."

[Taco]

"I-I understood! You were talking about.. Um... Er..." Eri pauses for a moment, trying to look smart while scratching her chin despite being utterly confused by the whole thing. "...Something about before?"

[Ascension]

"You need it spelled out for you?" Henietta asks with a giggle, "Fine. I almost made love to the Master. Twice. The first time I got scared and backed out of it. The second time you interrupted us, but I was already getting a little scared before that. I thought I wanted it at first, you know, but then when you're actually there alone in a bed with him, when you're kissing and hugging him, when you've got nothing on but your lacy underthings... I got scared. I realized I couldn't do it... no, more than that, I realized I never really wanted to do it in the first place. I just thought I did. I'm so glad you interrupted us before I did something I would have regretted for the rest of my life."

She sighs.

"They talk about it all the time like it's the be-all-end-all of life... Like our entire purpose is to sex somebody up as soon as possible. I wonder how many people jump into bed together just because society says they should be interested in sex, not because they really want it? I've learned tonight I don't want it. I'd much rather just stay here with you. Just us girls. No need to pine after penises."

[Taco]

"Ohh.. I see. Then.. Er.. You're welcome, I guess." Eri grins a bit sheepishly and bows to Henrietta, trying to reassure her in some way. "I don't really think about that stuff much, honestly. I mean, it sounds kinda fun at first, but I'd think it would get boring after a while...

Eri pauses for a moment to take another look around her room before turning to Henrietta with another reassuring smile. "Feel free to stay in here as long as you need to! Um... Though you do have your own room, right? It wouldn't make sense if I had a room and you didn't.."

[Ascension]

"Oh, sure, I have a room... I just... I just wanted a bit of company. And I thought it might be nice for you too, not having to spend your first night in a strange house alone."

[Talkkno]

A knock was heard on Eri's newly appointed room.
"I must remind you though, the walls inside the mansion are pretty much paper thin...and I heard what you said Henietta-chan. I'm sorry that i forced myself on you." Hira said, as he came into the room.

[Ascension]

Henrietta turns scarlet.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Master! I shouldn't have been talking about you behind your back. No, no, you didn't force yourself on me. I thought I wanted to... be with you... It's just... now I've realized... I don't... sir. If you don't mind."

[Taco]

"Thank you, then.. This is my first night away from home in a house, so it's still all new to me.."

Eri jumps a bit at Hira's sudden appearance, stumbling on her feet a bit before bowing formally. "Hello, Sir-Uh.. Master Hira! Is there something that needs to be done?"

[Talkkno]

"It's ok Henrietta-chan, I still love you, and I didn't feel very comfortable anyways." Hira repiled in a more upbeat tone as he turned to Eri with a hint of concern.

"Did your parents make you come all the away over here Eri-san? You said you were sleeping the streets before, is family very poor is the reason why you are working here? Are you still going to school?"

[Taco]

"H-huh? No.. They weren't poor. It was just... W-well..." Eri looks off to the side as she speaks and frowns slightly, not looking entirely comfortable with the question. "Uh.. I was homeschooled before I came here, but not now no."

[Talkkno]

"Its important for me to know Eri-chan, I don't want you to be here if you dont want to be." Hira repiled reassurely.

[Ascension]

"Right," Henrietta echoes, "We all serve the Master out of our own free will."

[Taco]

"Ah.. I'm definitely here out of my own choice. Well.. Not completely, but it's.. It's better than being on the streets." Eri forces an awkward smile as she tugs on an ear unconsciously, then quickly stuffs it back under her headdress to keep it out of sight. "And thank you again for letting me work here.."

[Talkkno]

"Why were you out on the streets? Did your parents throw you out of the house?" Hira asked with a conered tone, as he bended his knees down to her head level.

[Taco]

"No... It was my own choice to leave." Eri frowns slightly while shifting around in place, not seeming too comfortable about the subject. "Ah.. What about you two? How did you get here?"

[Talkkno]

"I'm your master remember Eri?" Hira said gently as he stroked her hair. "My parents will be back in a week or so. But why did you leave your parents."
