As Amandine finally arrived, Karinka smiled. It was always good to deliver a punishment early in the day. Still, first thing first...<br/><br/>"Maids, I require a bath. You will bathe me, and I expect it to be a very thorough, luxurious bath. We shall take the shortcut, so you will all lead the way for me and make sure everything is safe, and<em>then</em>you may wash me. However first... I think it is<strong>inspection time</strong>."<br/><br/>Her eyes gleamed at the prospect. Inspection... some days it happened, others it did not - she found that by keeping it random, there was a greater chance someone might fail the inspection, which was so much better for her. It would always be the same: looking to make sure uniforms are neat and clean, followed by... more intimate inspections, checking to ensure her maids remained neatly groomed down below, remained perfectly clean between their cheeks, and checking for arousal. Not that the last one was a cause for disciplinary measures, she just liked to do so.<br/><br/>And so, sliding out of bed, to her feet, she slowly made her way across the line. She was careful to look for any infraction, any<em>excuse</em>. Akemi was first, however despite her efforts Karinka could find nothing worthy of a punishment. Her uniform was exemplary, typical of the devoted servant. She would leave the rest until all uniforms were inspected, however.<br/><br/>Next, she looked over Alice - who was less fortunate indeed.<br/><br/>"Hmm, clothing is a little untidy, shoes slightly scuffed... and what is this? It appears you have axle grease on your apron, my dear Alice. Axle grease stains cloth, you know. Tell me, am I correct? Is this indeed grease?"<br/><br/>As she spoke, she moved her lips closer and closer to the girl's face, so that at that last question, they were very nearly kissing.<br/><br/>(Okay, so, anyone can post in the meantime before she responds - whether to try to stick up for her, to find some other thing to do, or even just to indicate whether they will pass or fail the secondary inspection. If you're not sure on it, you can choose to just roll Skill or Luck vs difficulty 5. For the record, "the shortcut" involves a series of rooms and passageways that are known for their carrion-creepers, giant centipedes with tendrils that paralyse their prey.)
