Maid RPG(IC thread)

Henrietta spins around with a start.

"Ah! I didn't realize you followed us up, Master... Well, potato salad it is then! We'll have it ready in a jiff."

[Taco]

Eri let out a timid yelp, apparently surprised by the master's sudden appearance. "S-Sir Hira! I mean.. Uh.. Master Hira. We'll be done before you know it!" She nodded once before starting work on the making potato salad.

Ms. Curalah slips away from the scene of the joyous cooking - it appeared to be going smoothly - for the moment. The weapon, a safety measure. Picking up a darning kit and some of Sir Hira's clothing, she wanders in a distinctly purposeful way to the basement, where Rikka continues to hammer on the controls of the

It is interesting to note that the binary stitches of a woolen cardigan - such as, for example, the one that Sir Hira was wearing earlier today - can store a remarkable quantity of manipulable information. Such remarks were made by our family patriarch in 12th century Spain - a Kabalistic Ba'al Shem of no minor skill - but of course, you'd be no tyro yourself in such matters ...

She chuckles to herself.

Nonetheless, the methods of rearranging and generating ciphers are reducible to a certain set of logical 'paths', if you will, through the haze of the numbers, which lead us to the correct result.

Essentially, we can perform cryptographic combinatorics, and open that computer up, by sewing. If that doesn't work, we go to work on the priest.

She smiles brightly and draws a pair of long-nose pliers from her pocket.

Fortunately, for Mariam, her attempts at placating the machine spirit was successful as a computer voice remarked.
"Powering down." The lights starting to dim as the testing tubes began to recede and the metal lay inert and lifeless as before.

[Nerd-o-rama]

Rikka looks around at the...whatever it is.

"That's...good," she guesses, watching things not come to life and attack her. "I've never seen mysticism applied to cryptography. Where did you learn to do that?" she asks Mariam.

Mariam slowly puts down the cardigan. It's fixed, but the stitching is weird - it criss-crosses over itself in a way that seems to be just on the verge of meaning something, but doesn't - a little like the feeling you get when you thought you recognised a face, but it turned out to be a stranger.

Ain't kabalah the funnest thing, Rikka?

Actually, the study of rearranging words to find mystical anagrams and thus gain insight into the fundamental nature of the universe isn't much of a transferrable skill, but it's useful here.

She walks over to the now-receded necrodermis capsule.

Gematria, however, has nothing to say to me about this.

A glance up at Rikka. A smile.
But might it mean something to you, Heir Apparent to the Order of the Crimson Lotus?

Henrietta does her best to aid in the cooking, but she tries to let Eri take the lead... and there's only so much you can do to a dish that's been... well, treated like that.

"Umm...Eri-san, lets not have you take care of cooking today ok...?" Kono remarks as he stares in the emptiness of the void of the less then stellar cooking, which Henrietta struggled to have the pitiless entropy of a dish into something resembling food, with some success.
"Is their anything else you think you can do?" He added as he tasted the revised dish which resembled a potato salad and declared
"Its average."

[Taco]

"W-well.. Uh.." Eri bites her lip gently while taking a quick look around, a nervous frown crossing her face. "I could try cleaning! Um.. I don't know where you store the towels and mops and things, though... But I can do that once I find out! she speaks with a determined fistpump.

[Ascension]

"And I'll help her!" Henrietta hastily volunteers.

[Talkkno]

"Well, Eri-san you could wash the dishes in the kitchen and get them prepared from earlier this afternoon, since Henrietta-chan is almost done." Hira replied as turned to his infatuation.
"Henrietta-chan...I want you here, someone still has to finish dinner and i will be here wtih." He stated firmly.

[Ascension]

Henrietta opens her mouth to protest, but the objection dies on her lips.

"Yes, Master," she answers instead.

She takes one last look at Eri before trudging back into the kitchen. She fears that if her young apprentice doesn't do quite well at this next task her tenure at the mansion may be short indeed, but there is no way to help her. Eri must succeed... or fail... on her own.

She busies herself with the work of fixing the rest of dinner. She amazes herself with the results!

"Amorsia!" Hira epically declared in a fit of madness, as he tasted the finished results that somehow to drew from the void into something that was a feast for both eyes and somtach, as he tasted it, a starry eyed blankness in his face before falling unconsciousness with a content look.
(Gain one favor.)

[Taco]

"Alright.. I won't let you down this time!" And with that, Eri makes her wayback to the kitchen with Henrietta. She remains inside even after her superior leaves with her food, intent on doing a better job with the cleaning than she did with the cooking earlier.

You know, going by TV and video games, it isn't terribly uncommon, although it seems to be favored by women (Persona 3's Yukari, Haruhi Suzumiya) and men who look like women (Gundam 00's Tieria Erde).

Rikka immediately takes her mind off the investigation, and takes a stereotypical kung-fu ready stance. "Where did you hear that name?" she asks.

[Illiterate Scribe]

Mariam picks up the knitting needle and toys with it idly.

Oh, y'know, that ninja who entered with a great crash through the window, and announced his intent to slaughter Kono and all of us in here. It sounded significant - thankyou for demonstrating that it is.

Bluff check:CRITICAL SUCCESS

[Ascension]

"Thank you sir!" Henrietta responds with a smile when Master Hira compliments her cooking. The smile turns to a look of concern, though, when he passes out.

"Oh my... unconscious again... I should get you to bed."

Henrietta attempts to haul Master Hira to his bedroom herself.

Roll 4, Athletics 2, Result 8.

If she succeeds, as I think she does, she takes the unconscious Hira up to his bedroom and tucks him into his bed. She hesitates by his bedside as she thinks back to his amorous advances earlier, from this very bed. Sure, he tried to turn her into a robot to be with her forever... but he really was kind of cute even then.

She makes up her mind. Though she'd like to check up on her young apprentice, Hira has had a long, hard day, and he needs someone to be there for him. He needs her to be there for him.

With her heart beating fast within her chest, Henrietta strips to her frilly white underwear (if we're using the optional costume rules, she will spend five favor to change to the underwear costume. It's on pg. 94 of the pdf), hangs a do not disturb sign on the door, and climbs into Hira's bed, draping an arm over her unconscious master. She should be a nice surprise for him when he wakes up...

Rikka shakes her head. "I don't even know what that was about," she says, truthfully.

Henrietta manages to drag up Hira's body upstairs again with all the necessary task done, snuggling quite comfortably as the evening began its own reckoning. Where Hira awoke with a strangely refreshed, muttering "Ja-pan." As his drowsy eyes refocuses, suddenly he nosebleed as he finally noticed Henrietta state of undress.
He lightly tapped her on shoulders, flushed with embrassment and he averted his eyes, whispering
"Henrietta-chan...umm...what happened?

Oh, but you do, Rikka. Your body betrays it. *
And if it was to be that there existed a danger in this house, to the master and his servants, and his parents (I seriously haven't got a frakking clue as to where they may be - I'd contend that no less than two attempts on their son's life justifies dropping them a line), well, we couldn't have that, could we ...

HEY GUYS LETS GO CHECK ON KONO SEE IF HES OK

Rolling will combat vs. Rikka roll 3 x will 5 = 15.

Wow, that sounded creepy. Not out-of-genre though.

(Roll 2 x Will 4 = 8...two stress to me)

Rikka responds with only a stony stare, but her composure flickers briefly behind her glasses when Hira is indirectly threatened.

(Let's have another round; I think I can do better. Roll 5 x 4 Will = 20.)

Henrietta slowly stirs awake. When she notices her situation and remembers how she got there she blushes bright crimson.

"Um... I hope I didn't act out of line... sir. I just thought this might... bring you some comfort."

[Talkkno]

"No, I don't mind...you are very beautiful, Henrietta-chan, I wouldn't leave you for the world. " Hira whispered in her after takinga deep breath overcome his inital hesistation, and began to stroke her hair gently.

[Ascension]

"Thank you... sir," Henrietta replies, and her blush grows even brighter.

"You look really cute when you are embarrassed Henrietta-chan." Hira replied, as he kissed lightly on the forehead and embraced her state of reatlive of undress.

Unexpected by Henrietta advances, he started to blush on his own and he backed away slightly.
"I wouldn't want to to...take you innocense away from you. butyou want...Henrietta-chan...umm." He said stuttering, as he bashfully looked away from her eyes.

"You pay me to serve you, Master," Henrietta replies, "I am willing to serve you in... um... whatever way you deem fit."
