				Daniel had arrived back at the date and time specified: Around 8AM a week after he had left for wherever he went. The maids were expected to be awaiting his return. There was always a lot to do after a "business trip"; accounting, dividing loot, and the like. Having some help around the castle made this a lot less stressful for the man who had to keep it all together. He came through the front door, kicking it open dramatically as he always did before shutting it quietly behind him. Once the door was shut and he knew none of his men were watching, he dropped his theatric flair and slumped his shoulders, calling throughout the large foyer. "Ladies, I'm home!"<br>He first turned to Miyako with a weak smile. It was hard to tell if she cared for his life at all, but he could somehow tell she wouldn't let him come to harm. "Miyako, could you check me for any internal injuries?" Next was Mai. The mechboys who found her said she had some more complicated name, but he never bothered to remember it. He held out a finger to her. "Mai, I'll need you to check my blood for any infections or poisons." Finally, he turned to Hagetaka. He was always a bit careful around her, not sure if she could find a way out of that collar. As an extra precaution, he outfitted her with a uniform that could be easily strapped together in a restraining fashion. "And Taka..." He was going to say something about breakfast at first, but decided there were more pressing matters after taking a few sniffs of the air around him. "Run me a bath."

				"Yes, master." Mai said, and opened her mouth. A tiny hypodermic needle sprayed a disinfectant and painkiller on his finger, before it pierced the skin, and drew out a small measure of his blood. "Analysis commencing." she said.

				(http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac182/MatthewO_RP/MiyakoSmall.png) Miyako just so happened to be sweeping the entrance hall of the castle when the master returned, seeming to be staring off into space as she often did while she worked. The pale girl didn't even flinch as the door slammed open, not even looking in her master's direction until she heard the order, letting out a sigh and nodding a bit. Taking a moment to sweep the last of the dirt into a neat pile, she set the broom aside, almost seeming to float as she strolled over to her master, a look of mild annoyance on her face as she pressed her hand against his stomach, the ghostly fingers sinking into him after a moment, and he'd feel a bit of a tickling sensation as she felt around "Everything seems to be intact..."

				Hagetaka usually ignored summons like the door slamming, but considering how long he was gone she met the others at the door, blinking at her orders "A bath---No problem, Boss.." as she headed off upstairs to draw him a bath, absently tugging at her collar as she always did, she looked back, thinking that he better not be hurt. That was her job.

				The "bite" didn't cause the flinch it would in most people. In fact, it seemed to perk Daniel up a bit as the sample amount was taken from him. A good leader needed the ability to smile even when he was wounded. Dapper Dan, however, often seemed to smile more when wounded. It was something noticed only by those who had known him for a while. "Thanks, Mai. I'll want the results after my bath." He turned to walk away before quickly bringing his attention to her again. "Oh! And check for radiation, too."<br>As much as he tried to hold it back, he couldn't suppress an unmanly chuckle at the feeling of an intangible hand going through his abdomen. He didn't keep many secrets from his men, but his severe ticklishness was a big one. Fortunately, nobody had ever worked up the courage to try and tickle him. "I'll want a more thorough check later. I'm not getting taken out by another bullshit, uhh..." He turned to Hagetaka for a second. "What was it again? A blood clot?"<br>Whether she answered or not, she was followed upstairs to the bathroom where Dan disrobed unabashedly and folded up his clothing neatly in the corner. It was an old uniform from a pre-war nation, covered in medals nobody remembered the meaning of. Something about it still inspired people to fight and imbued the wearer with a sense of authority, though. None of the buttons remained and a few slashes or bullet holes had been sewn back together. The pants were held up with a thin chain and broken padlock. It didn't seem to have sustained any recent damage, though.

				(http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac182/MatthewO_RP/MiyakoSmall.png) Miyako let out a long, drawn out sigh, rolling her eyes slightly at the order, but nodding after a moment "Of course, master... though, I remind you again, I am not a doctor, and I don't... particularly like my condition being used for such... silliness. If theres nothing else for now?" It sounded like a question, but Miyako didn't wait for a response, floating back over to her broom and going back to work, within moments going back to her expressionless routine, as though she'd never been interrupted<br>

				Hagetaka darted outside as he began to disrobe, groaning. She waited for the Master of the castle by the door to the bath, a towel draped over her arm, tapping her foot impatiently. The petite shinigami had filled the bath with nice piping hot water, knowing the Boss would take his sweet time in actually getting in and it would be comfortably warm by that time, she impatiently pulled her long green hair back behind her shoulders, planning to make finally sure once he got out. If he died by something as simple as an infection, she would never live it down.

				Dan was already halfway up the stairs when he heard the analysis results. They got no reaction out of him.&nbsp; He felt well enough entering the castle to tell he most likely hadn't been infected with anything, but it was a nice extra precaution to have. On top of that, he knew any thanks would be lost on the emotionless machine. It would be the same as thanking his gun, after all, and he only did that on rare occasions when nobody was looking.<br>He didn't want to stress Miyako out too much. Even if she'd been hardened by centuries of isolation, she was still the most Human of his servants and brought out a more sympathetic side of him. "Silliness? We're talking about my organs here! I mean, I know you don't... Well, ok, I guess you don't have to. But whichever one of you gets bored first can make me some breakfast. I'll be getting out of the tub hungry." <br>There was a brief pause as if to wait for an audience's laughter at his joke, but his audience was humorless. Tiring of the dull mood, he went upstairs and carried out the actions detailed in the previous post. He was really pleased with the warmth of the tub as he slid in, looking like he was about to say something before his personal reaper fled so suddenly. <br><br>(Rolling time! Decide amongst yourselves who makes breakfast or work together on it if you like. Normally, a task like this would default to skill, but I'll consider allowing use of a different stat if you can justify it to me in a PM. Remember, this is the master's first meal home in a while, so you should cook something nice to make him feel welcome. The difficulty for a complex meal will be set at 6.)

				Finishing her sweeping after a bit, Miyako made her way towards the kitchen, hurrying a bit. She didn't dislike the other, newer maids... but she was a bit arrogant, and in her mind, the two 'newbies' could never match her hundreds of years of practice... it only made sense that she should make the master's meal! Nearing the kitchen, she glanced around, hoping neither of the others were around.<br>

				Hagetaka looked back at the door, then down the hall, she wanted to make sure he way okay but he had asked for food and if he starved then some other uppity Shinigami might get him. She growled, summoning a small goblin, draping the towel over the little creature "You stand here, and when the Boss comes out, you hand him that towel, got it?!" she snarled before rushing down to the kitchen, blinking as she found Miyako already in the kitchen "Oh. You're already cooking? I'll...What are you making, I'll make a second course."

				Dan relaxed in his bath tub, blissfully unaware of all goings-on downstairs. He pulled out a relic he found on his trip and pondered the value of it. It seemed to be a hollow rubber likeness of some tiny pre-war animal. When shook to determine anything hidden inside, his grip brought a small squeak out of it. He gave it a few more squeaks before dropping it in boredom, figuring he'd fish the thing out later... "Whoa, it floats too!" Perhaps he would keep this one.

				(Looks like we have two maids working on breakfast. Now it's time for the players to choose: Do you want to work together and combine your rolls or compete by trying to make the better course? If you work together, more will be expected of you and the difficulty will rise to 10. You will both be awarded 1d6+1 favor for the impressive meal. If you work separately, however, it'll become a contest of who rolls better. The winner will gain 2d6 favor and the runner-up will only gain 1d6. Let's see some posts.)

				Hagetaka watched the spectral being begin looking through her book. She never understood the ghost, she shouldn't exist and it unnerved the aspect of Death. She also didn't understand the purpose of the book, weren't they supposed to be cooking? She had a basic understanding of human intestines and what humans found palatable for breakfast.

				The calm of the house was broken by a resounding call in Dan's naturally well-carried voice. "Taka, where the hell is m-WHAT THE FUCK!?" Strange shrieks and sounds of impact raced down the hallway to the stairs until Dan could be seen swinging his chain belt at some bizarre little imp creature with one hand and clutching a towel around his waist with the other. Seeing Mai headed towards him, he reared back and tried kicking it in her direction. "Mai! Intruder!" <br>(Dan makes an Athletics roll at a difficulty of 6.) At 2010-02-07 23:28:59, Dan (uid: 11682) rolls: 1d6 Result: 5 (http://dicebot.php?r=13791) x2=10<br>The kick lines up nicely and the tiny confused creature is now speeding through the air at Mai. If she makes an athletics (or whatever stat you can justify to me) roll of 4, she successfully swats it back to Hell. Starting to feel the exhaustion kicking in and adrenaline thinning out, Dan leans against the wall to catch his breath. He gives the gynoid a grateful smile while tying his towel on a bit more properly. "Thanks, Mai... How's breakfast coming along?" Regardless of her answer, he heads back to the bathroom to dry and dress himself before coming downstairs into the dining hall. Mai is awarded 1d6 Favor for 'saving the master's life'.<br>If she fails the roll, the flying creature flies past her and runs downstairs to Hagetaka, jibbering fearfully at her in a language only she can understand. Dan, meanwhile, will begin to feel the fatigue and point in it's direction as he hunches over to breath. "F-follow it!" Confident in the abilities of his maids, he heads back with the towel and chain to dress himself before coming down to see what happened. "Okay, ladies... Does anyone know what the hell that was?"

				At the sound of the scream Hagetaka straightened and blinked "I don't think the Boss has ever seen one of my servants...Oh well." she shrugged,&nbsp; the little goblin no doubt was quite shocked to be punted back to the Netherworld. The sight of a death god holding a kitchen knife was probably unsettling, as she went back to completing her special breakfast, trying not to snicker at how her tiny goblin had caused the Boss enough stress that he might have fallen to heart issues all over again had she not been bound. She would have to warn the Boss when she saw him next about her small servants, getting destroyed repeatedly by the other two Maids would probably have some negative effect on them.

				Raising an eyebrow, Miyako looked up at the scream, seeming to wait to for a moment... when the sound didn't repeat itself, she rolled her eyes a bit, looking slightly worried at the death god, but otherwise not wanting to let herself become distracted, working hard to make sure her meal is done in time... though she occasionally sneaks a peek at what Hagetaka is working on, muttering under her breath about something or other.

				Once his composure is regained and he is able to renew his commanding presence, Dan heads downstairs and into the dining hall just in time for breakfast. Once seated, he takes a careful bite out of the first course, still feeling a little cautious after that attack. As his teeth close around the food, an astounded expression comes over his face. After a brief chewing period, he looks to where his maids are standing, looking for all the world like a man whose wishes just came true. "Who... Who made this?"<br>The second course goes similarly well. Even if it wasn't quite as masterful, it came close. He ate it with all the joy and relish of the previous dish while heaping praise upon both of them between bites. The best part, of course, being that he didn't even need to feel selfish about eating so voraciously because he was the only person in the room who consumed food. The morning had been eventful, but turned out just fine. Perhaps this would be the beginning of a beautiful day. <br><br>(Ok, time to hand out the favor. <br>For excellence in the field of breakfast, Miyako gets...

				"Oh, Boss" the reaper interjected when he seemed to be done eating "I left one of my lackeys to give you the towel I meant to give you, after your bath. But from the sounds earlier, I take it he screwed it up?" she tried to look innocent, hoping a mountain of blame didn't fall on her for the Boss's distress this morning, after all the goblin was trying to be helpful.

				Even the normally emotionless Miyako couldn't help but snicker a bit at the shinigami's confession, though she quickly covered her mouth, doing her best not to show it. She gave the master a polite curtsy as he finished eating, not saying another word as she vanished back into the kitchen to start cleaning up the dishes and such.

				Dan seemed entirely motionless, sitting calmly until the other maids had reacted to Hagetaka's admission and went about their day, leaving just him and her in the room. The life seemed to flow back into his eyes all at once as he rose so quickly that his chair clattered to the floor and pounded his fists on the table with surprised anger. "Your WHAT!?" He turned slowly to face her slowly, like a wounded or frightened man, his breath visibly deepening. "That is so..." Once their eyes had locked he stepped over to her, his face suddenly taking on a look of childish excitement. "...Cool! How many do you have, do they speak japanese, do they have names, are there bigger ones, did they used to be Human, what do they eat?" <br>The barrage of questions continued until he ran out of breath and gave her time to answer all of them. Whether he understands the answers or not, he suddenly realizes there's quite a lot of work to be done and retires to his study. This is a good time for maids to do a variety of things like fixing a lunch, keeping the master pleasant company, working on some other household chore, or even taking a little break. It was more or less free time in an otherwise hectic life. <br><br>(Basically, do whatever you want. Use your best stat in some way, interact with other characters, look at the mansion's portrait for 2 Favor if you have the highest Affection score, etc. Have fun.)

				The shinigami winced as he began to yell, used to only hearing yelling voices from horrible elder shinigami with the power to slay thousands of mortals with a touch. As he began to ask questions she looked up, shocked, laughing nervously to cover her shock "O-oh...Well theoretically there is an infinite number, but I have only had 4 or 5 at once, and that was because I was trying to see how many would answer. Most of them atleast understand Japanese. I have noticed cats seem to be able to understand them. I don't...Well the one I summon most I call Lackey? I've seen some larger ones...I suppose some of them could be human souls, they are the embodiment of death as a chain to drag you away, similar to how shinigami are the embodiment of death as an inevitable force.&nbsp; I think they eat ashes and dust...I once saw one eat lamp oil." she tried to keep up with his questions, having never really thought about the goblins, they were simply a shinigami's servants, she followed behind him toward his study to finish answering his questions. "So Boss, what're you going to work on?" she asked curiously, looking around at the study she never really bothered to look at before.

				Miyako was nearly finished with the dishes, putting them away as the robot girl entered. She raised an eyebrow at Mai... technology had come a long way since she died, and she still, rather obviously, wasn't quite sure what to think of the other maid.

				The study was a small room with cobbled-together computer equipment lining the walls and an old-world desk in the middle.Any of the computer towers short enough had old books stacked on top of them, mostly manuals for pre-war vehicles and weapons with a few trashy romance novels and pornographic magazines thrown in. The desk looked old enough to have been an original furnishing in the castle and made an odd contrast with the room's technological feel. On top of it was a monitor and keyboard, both seeming to be touchscreens by the way Dan operated them.<br>Dan was sitting in a poorly-maintained computer chair that had long-since lost its back and squeaked with every movement he made. He was concentrating on the screen, occasionally turning away to write something on the various papers scattered across the desk. He looked up to Hagetaka after a few seconds of this. "Huh? Oh, I'm doing the figures for our last raid. Factoring in travel expenses, stuff found, medical equipment used, paying the grunts, stuff like that. There was no opposition this time, so I'm expecting a pretty good profit." <br>(The computers in the office are less than perfectly restored, so I'm gonna have Dan roll luck to see if it works. DC4 At 2010-02-19 13:17:17, Dan (uid: 11682) rolls: 1d6 Result: 5 (http://dicebot.php?r=14057) )<br>Once the accounting program is properly started up, Dan returns to work, a little smile forming on his face as he sees the figures stack up favorably. He looked up at Hagetaka once he noticed she was still there. "This is probably gonna take a while. Could you get me some coffee? I actually found a few cans while I was out, they should be in the kitchen."

				Taka found herself looking over the Boss's shoulder, eying the numbers, they reminded her of the values in the old books of value, that gave times and values of deaths. But then any large mass of numbers did that. As he mentioned coffee she made a face "Coffee, ew. Well, if you say so, one coffee coming up!" As she hurried to the kitchen to make a nice pot of coffee, nearly trampling anyone near the door.

				Hagetaka's mild disapproval went completely ignored as Dan went back to work, tapping and thinking a bit slower for the distraction and lack of sleep. Sure, there were plenty of other stimulants he could be taking. Stronger ones, too, but those were saved for his men and owed themselves better to fighting for days straight and marching on the verge of starvation than tedious deskwork. That's to say nothing of the strange effects they had on those who used them a bit too often. No, coffee would do just fine. It'll just perk those... Heavy eyelids... "Zzz-hrnk! Huh?

How are the dishes?" she tried to make small talk as the coffee brewed, before stopping for a minute, laughing suddenly "I just realized, if you put the two of you together...You get one functional life-form, a body and a soul. That's hilarious." The shinigami snickered, grabbing a tin mug off of the counter for the coffee.

				A few keytaps later, Dan's head was resting heavily on the desk. His last conscious thought was a hope that Hagetaka would wake him up once she'd returned with his coffee. Due to the stone walls and the distance from the upstairs study to the kitchen, it was highly unlikely that any noise would wake him or catch his attention, especially in the exhausted state he had tried so hard to hide until he had a moment to himself.

Calm down, spook. Although that does bring up a point, as a spirit, how do you clean?" considers shoving a hand through the girl to see if she is corporeal when she smells fresh coffee, looking back to see a nearly overflowing pot. She stared at it for a moment lost in thought, why was it important?, before her eyes shot open, she grabbed the pot and the mug and darted from the room, being sure to bump her elbow lightly against the ghost on the way out, shooting like a bullet to the Boss's office, she could tease the others later, the Boss was going to pass out, and he might hit his head and die!

				The sound of a small-framed shinigami thundering into his office did little, if anything, to rouse the sleeping commander. He didn't even stir a bit at her entrance, laying mostly still, aside from his quiet breathing. His arms were at the sides of his slumped over frame, giving his sleeping position a rather awkward look. There was a good possibility that he'd wake with a sore back and neck if left in that position for much longer, but a sore disposition if awoken abruptly. Whatever he was dreaming at the time, the peaceful expression on his face made it seem pleasant.<br>(If you try to wake Dan gently, make an Affection, or whatever stat you can justify, roll.

				As she saw the Boss she smiled, tiptoeing to his side and setting the coffee pot on the table as she considered her options on how to wake him, she cleared her throat, saying in a very soft voice, knowing it wouldn't wake him "Oh Boss? You told me to keep you awake until you finished. Boss? Oh dear me!" she said in mock surprise "It seems I cannot wake him! Whatever will I do?" She hated to ruin a good dream, they were rare things, rarer still to a shinigami who couldn't dream. She leaned close, her grin spreading to the point it resembled a famous cat, and grabbed his shoulders, shaking him briskly, clearing her throat. "HEY BOSS!" She quickly jumped back, adopting an innocent face to the expected tirade of anger.

				At the sudden noise, Dan instinctively leapt back while reaching for his right hip. Unfortunately, his seated position resulted in simply tipping his chair over and knocking the back of his head against the stone floor. A look of confusion crossed his face as he felt for the gun that wasn't there, for he never really wore it around the castle, and looked around the room as though he didn't know where he was. As soon as his wandering eyes hit Hagetaka's face, they narrowed maliciously, the reality of the situation became quite clear to him. He didn't even have time to notice the delicious coffee she was holding before he reacted. "Taka... Be a dear and GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY OFFICE!"<br>Stone walls, heavy doors, and considerable distance be damned. The shout could be heard all the way to the kitchen where Mai and Miyako should be just about finished cleaning up. If Hagetaka has the good sense to leave the coffee and run like Hell, he sets his chair back up and resumes working tirelessly for the next few hours, giving the maids plenty of time to work on dinner.<br>(Ok, it's time to make the master a nice homecoming dinner.

				Hagetaka put up the last of the spices and ingredients left out and decided to mop the floor. To think, a shinigami reduced to household chores. She remembered the time when her days were filled with shinigami gossip, and her night with reaping souls. Now her only source of gossip were her goblins, who were not very good at relaying information, being easily distracted. The little death god sat her bucket down, mopping the floor slowly, one good thing about having three maids with no need to sleep, she thought, was that there was rarely a chore that was forgotten or that there wasn't time for. After mopping the same 4 foot area for a few minutes, Taka shook the introspective out of her head so she could actually do this competently.

As it was, however, he had just enough energy to spare an amused smirk. Getting her to open up even this much felt like something of an accomplishment. "Eh, don't worry about it too much. Taka can't harvest any souls as long as that collar's on her and only a few select people know how to take it off." It was fun to regard the manifestation of his own death so casually. "As for Mai, I was assured that the smartboys had reprogrammed her for absolute loyalty to me. She won't cause any trouble around here." On the other hand, he seemed to hold Mai in an unreasonably high regard for the machine she is. "If you have any more concerns, feel free to talk to me in the morning. Dismissed."

				The shinigami's taunt fell on deaf ears as Dan slowly opened his eyes, only aware that a gentle voice had said something. When he saw her and the morning light streaming through the window, his situation occurred to him and he sprung out of bed in a happy and well-rested state. He gave Hagetaka an exuberant smile as he went over to the corner of the room to put some pants on. "Morning, Taka. What's for breakfast?" Whatever she tells him, he responds with a pleased nod and heads downstairs to sit at the table. To Dapper Dan, there was nothing quite like your first night in a warm bed after a long wasteland expedition. He always woke up the next morning feeling ten years younger, if it could be said he truly feels his age in the first place.<br>On his way downstairs, he saw Mai grumbling about something. Her capacity to complain was a matter of some intrigue to him, as the smartboys said she shouldn't have any personality beyond that of a computer. Then again, there were times when he could have sworn the jury-rigged computer up in his office was groaning and slowing to a halt in protest of whatever important work he was trying to get done at the time. Regardless of the personality's origin, instinct and curiosity got the better of him. Still as chipper as could be, he turned to Mai on his way to the dining room. "What's up, Mai? Is there a problem?" Whether or not she decides to share her feelings at the moment, he replies, "Oh, ok. We can talk about it later then. Can't let breakfast get cold."<br>Finally, the dining room was reached. Being a Japanese castle, it was originally fitted with a kneeling table and many cushions. That didn't really suit Dan's modern style, though, so he had some legs bolted to the bottom of the table and attached the cushions to some old barstools. His, of course, having a lavishly constructed back with 'Dapper Dan' etched into the polished steel. The grand dining chair was one of his favorite possessions. It gave him a feel of authority at meetings and feasts. But this was no feast. This was an ordinary breakfast, and a well-made one at that. After scarfing the food down as one does in the morning's first hunger, he thanked Miyako kindly and rubbed his chin as though in deep thought. "Hmmm, it's pretty much my day off... Does anyone want to do anything?"

				Taka blinked, tilting her head, she wasn't used to humans being so...up and at em? "I-i think its eggs? It smells like...Eggs." She followed the Boss in a dumbfounded manner, he was always cheerful, heck, he never even acted nervous around her, and she was a walking personification of an arterial aneurysm that was supposed to kill him! It was infectious, she actually greeted her fellows with a smile as she looked at the food, nodding in appreciation at Miyako's work. "Day off? Having a day off requires having a job, Bandit Boss." She even teased in a friendly tone. Something was definitely wrong with her. The Boss's smile and cheerful demeanor were contagious! She needed something to bring back her snark, before people started expecting her to be nice.

				Miyako was waiting in the dining room, having laid out the breakfast in anticipation of Dan's arrival. She watched him eat carefully, looking almost worried... the breakfast hadn't been her best work, and she was still a bit on edge over her failure yesterday, sighing in relief as he seemed to enjoy the meal "Do something? Oh, well, I was planning sweeping the east wing, then cleaning the south windows, they've been getting a bit dusty..."

				Hagetaka's snark was met with a sly look an arrogant reply. "I'll have you know that I didn't engage in any acts of banditry while I was out last week. We followed some coordinates to a vault full of artifacts that had already been evacuated. And it took a lot of effort on my part to convince the boys there would be any food, thank you very much." He then reached into his pocket and pulled out the rubber ducky that had amused him so earlier in the tup, taking one last longing gaze at it before gently tossing it to the cheeky death god. "Here, have an artifact."<br>Dan's face rested heavily in his palm as all Miyako could think to do was clean. Not to say he didn't expect it, but to actually hear it was very disheartening to someone whose day was going so well so far. He put his game face back on to speak to the apparition, not wanting her to think she had somehow displeased or offended him. "I was thinking something more recreational. I mean, what did you do for fun back in the old days, watch jousts or something?" Despite Dan's love for history, he never obtained enough material to get a truly good grasp on it. If she actually answers him, he responds, "Hmm, I guess we could set that up somehow." If she ignores him or avoids the question, it's, "Well, ok, if that's how you feel."<br>He then turned to Mai, who may or may not have something to tell him. Pointing out to a corridor, he asked, "Mai, I'd like to speak with you in the hall for a moment." Before heading off with her, he gave the other two a glance, still looking pleased with life in general. After all, it was a life he wasn't supposed to have. "As for you two, thanks for your hard work this morning." As soon as Mai and him were in the hallway, he turned to her with a more serious look. "So what was bothering you earlier?"

				Hagetaka caught the duck with her hands, blinking down at it confused, it sat in her cupped hands meaning no one any harm. She squeaked it once, before looking back up. How do you respond to your Boss throwing a rubber ducky at you? She turned to Miyako, once the Boss had left to talk to Mai. "Um...Hey Miyako? How high do the towers go?" She asked, trying to seem friendly but feeling awkward talking to the ghost that she was usually quite rude to.

				Mai's sudden outburst caught Dan somewhat off guard. The normally quiet and reserved gynoid was blankly voicing her frustrations. He did his best to stifle a bit of laughter, succeeding for the most part, before pulling a small cardboard box out of his shirt pocket. "I'm sorry to say this, Mai, but I simply can't have you killing the other staff. If you must take action against her, however..." He flipped open a tab on the box and revealed it to be full of cards with various numbers of shapes inked on them. "You can engage her in a contest of wits. We'll all play a card game of Miyako's choosing and you can take your chance to humiliate Taka." Just to make sure he had a sell, he added a sly grin and a dramatic pause. "...Unless you think she's smarter than you." If Mai accepts the challenge, Dan will take her back into the dining room and lay the deck of cards on the table. "It's your lucky day, Miyako. I found these on my recent business trip. These are the cards you're talking about, right?" If Mai declines, he'll do the same thing, but she will not be part of the game.

				Dan had never heard of Poker before. He'd seen plenty of gambling, sure, but mostly over armwrestling matches and displays of marksmanship. There was no way he'd let Hagetaka know that, of course, so he took the proposal in stride. "We sure are. It might be played a little differently where you come from, though, so you should probably give us a detailed explanation of the rules." He listens intently as his narrowly avoided death explains the workings of the game and deals the cards out as soon as she was finished. (You really don't need to type up an in-character explanation, we'll just assume she told us the rules clearly and honestly before the game began.) Dan's hand was played casually, but enthusiastically, as though this game held new novelty to him and he was merely playing for fun.<br>(Since Mai and Hagetaka are competing with eachother in this game, we will treat it as combat. Please read the Combat section in your rulebooks. Relevant attributes for Poker are Cunning or Luck. You are free to give up and exit the game at any time. Miyako can choose to join the competition or stay out of it and just play for fun like Dan. If she joins the game, then the lowest roller each round will take an attack from the highest roller.

				Hagetaka's amazing hand this round actually got a few impressed looks from Dan this round. Perhaps she was serious about this whole 'beginner's luck' thing. Noting the generally stoic looks of those around him, he attempts his best poker face. Being a fearless leader of fighting men who takes any injury without flinching, it was fairly easy for him to keep his facial muscles completely still whenever he wasn't talking. It was how he managed to convince a shinigami that he was peacefully sleeping on that night a month ago, after all.<br><br>(Looks like Miyako took the lowest roll this round and is dealt... 15 Stress.

Admittedly, she had opened up considerably since yesterday. Perhaps Dan's little talk with her had actually done some good and left her wanting his approval. He had thrown something of a competitive edge into the match, after all, watching the plays of all the maids while paying little attention to his own actions.

				Miyako got kind of a strange look for her question. "Roast what?... I dunno, just open the first can you find and put it on some crackers." She must have been talking about something from a bygone age. He had seen tuna before, though, and actually had a fondness for it. But he was too hungry and interested in the suddenly ended competition to be selective at this point. Mai had come out on top and Miyako was proven to have a softer side under her jaded exterior.

				Hagetaka tried to remain sneaky. She wasn't generally visible, in most cases, but her binding to this world had made her physical. As a result, she wasn't exactly <em>good</em> at hiding. Were it not for the cross on her uniform, only the Boss would even be capable of perceiving her. And maybe Miyako, the reaper wasn't sure how it worked with ghosts. She listened closely to the goings on, trying to garner as much information as possible.

				One simple diagnostic scan made the solution all so obvious to Mai. There were a few frayed wires to be replaced, a number of loose connections, and some of the parts simply hadn't been dusted since the war. Fixing both the hardware and software problems will take the rest of the day, even for her. As the data and error reports rushed through her vision at a pace only she could keep up with, Dan stood back looking on with curiousity. To him, it seemed she had just plugged herself in and started staring off into space for a few seconds. "Uhh, Mai? Are you fixing it?" He left the room and started heading downstairs to the kitchen to see what was taking the sandwich so long. He stopped just outside the door to give a quizzical look at the closely listening Hagetaka. "What're you doing?"<br>Dan's entire system is now at Mai's fingertips and she has half a day to root through it while she goes through the repair operation.

His eyes opened slowly as he continued to lay against his desk, sleepily mumbling out his first words of the day. "Mornin', Mai... Why're you so close to my face?"

				The shinigami smirked, she would jump from the tower, land, and give a dramatic who goes...there...She had forgotten that the crosses binding her kept her powers in check. She stopped after one step, jumping back to the safety of the solid floor and cursing this semi-mortal form, speeding to run down the tower, her heart set on being the first person to stop these new arrivals.

				The motorcycle she was riding in slowed to a stop, a strange girl with an evil-looking grin halting. Stepping from the cart, she removed the crude motorcycle helmet from her head, golden hair falling around her shoulders, she made sure her skirt was nice and smooth, she bowed. Speaking with a thick russian accent, she introduced herself.<br><br>"My name is Dyenes Gentivii. I have come searching the employ of the one they call 'Dapper Dan'." She paused, staring at the castle. "Am I in the right place?" Pulling her hair behind long, pointed elven ears, and without even making sure she was right, she collected her bags from the bike's back and took a step forward.

				After Dyenes had introduced herself, the driver looked to Hagetaka, not bothering to dismount or take his helmet off off. "And I've got a message for him. Could you tell him the researchers will be here tomorrow? Also, could you direct me to your well? I picked up this hitchhiker and ended up expending more water than expected." Once directed, he rode off to restock, leaving the two at the doorstep.<br>Hagetaka's shout woke Dan a bit more, causing him to jump to his feet in surprise, glancing about nervously. He calmed down after a few seconds of confusion, chalking up the incident to his death's irrational behavior. "Girl's gonna kill me some day... Oh, right." He turned back to Mai, trying to remember what they were talking about before. "What the hell did she just say an-Something's wrong with your face, Mai. Is your skin malfunctioning?"

She mumbled, her eyes flashing a bit, looking at the new maid* "Nice to meet you, my name is Hagetaka. I'm Dan's death." He liked it when she said that, let people know his death worked for him. Ego-centric. She turned opening the heavy doors, walking in asif she had forgotten the girl, but staying acutely aware of the elf, only Hagataka would kill Dan, so she kept an eye out for assassins.

"We have a mechboy coming soon. He should be able to take care of that." And with that he was on his way downstairs, stopping as soon as he was close enough for his and Hagetaka's impressive voices to thunder across the main hall. "YEAH, WHAT IS IT? AND WHO'S THIS?"

You just met my first domestic servant, Taka, shame of the underworld." He then pointed behind him at Mai. "This warbot here is Mai, my second." With a long rub of his chin, he looks toward the kitchen. "There's the kitchen. I haven't had breakfast yet, so make me something edible and you can be the third."

				Food. NOW he was speaking her language. The long ride on the motorcyle in relative discomfort had quite thoughouly emptied her stomach of all the deliciousness of her previous meal, and she was waiting for a chance to remidy that problem. Bowing, Dyenes smiled.<br><br>"As you wish." Following his directions to the kitchen, she took a look around, spending the first five minutes getting aquainted with where everything was, and five minutes more taking stock of everything they had. Most of it was some pretty rare stuff. Whether he aquired all this delicous food legally or otherwise mattered not. All that was important was that something rather pleasing to the tongue can be made.<br><br>Bouncing between the stove and countertop, she went about her cooking business, making sure to make enough for three... even if the second servant didn't eat, it was always good to have some left over, just in case. Digging around in the back of what she assumed to be the pantry, she managed to salvage a half-used box of pancake batter mix, and although it looked slightly weathered, the contence looked fairly usable.<br><br>All things said and done, breakfast had taken her a good twenty minutes to complete, but she was happy with the results. She hasn't had this much good food to work with in a while, and it made her happy to have the chance to experminent a little. Finishing placing the plate of pancakes on the table, covered in a cloth to conserve heat, she pulled a pan from a rack and placed it on the stove.<br><br>"Do you like eggs, sir?" She asked quite plainly. "And if so, how do you like them?"

This place has, like, a hundred rooms so just pick whichever one you want." With that said, the suddenly happy master went to eating the rest of his meal, largely ignoring any childish banter between his inhuman servants. Once finished, he put on his serious face and addressed the maids. "Ok, lady and whatever you two classify as. We're having some very special guests tomorrow.

With that said, the lord of the castle went off to entertain himself while keeping out of everyone's way somehow.

As deep and clean as the well they'd dug here was, he had no intention of jeopardizing it by drinking water every day. The slightly bloodshot eyes focused on his gentle tormentor. "Not if I kill you first." He then grumbled incomprehensibly for a bit as he stood up and stretched before putting on his gameface, the unbreakable smile of Dapper Dan. "And I told you I don't like eggs." Still a bit groggy from the interrupted sleep, the anxious homeowner looked around the room scratching his head as the thoughts slowly formed. "Hmmm, now wha-oh, right!" He pointed to his uniform, folded neatly on an office chair. "I need that washed real quick and be careful with the medals." His voice suddenly takes an unusually dire tone. "If even one of them goes missing, you will be considered a thief and punished accordingly." With no more said, Dan donned his officer's cap and nothing else before heading downstairs for breakfast.

As she removed them in the washroom, comfortably out of the Boss's earshot she grumbled "Oh, like these mean anything..." She washed his uniform quickly, whistling an old song by Kansas, before hurrying down with it, folded over her arm toward the dining room.

				She sat on the ground, slightly stunned for a moment, but shook her head. "Oh, oh, no, it's alright. I'm fine, thank you." The robot helped her up and she dusted herself off. "It was partially my fault I don't look where I'm going sometimes." She stood for a moment, caught in an awkward pause, and cleared her throat. "I hate to seem indignant, but I must be heading down to the kitchen. I would hate for Master to not have his breakfast..." She bowed to the robot. "Sorry again." And shuffled off to the kitchen.

She walked happily down to the kitchen.<br><br>"Okay... let's see what we have available..." She looked over the pantry, seeing what they had available. More pancake mix, but she didn't like making the same thing more then once in consecutive days. Half loaf of bread, some butter in the fridge, and a half pack of bacon. Wonder if he even knew what he has in his kitchen? Oh, some steaks... hope he's not saving these. "Hey... does he have a food processor? I have an idea."

				Dyenes set out the steaks and managed to pull a frying pan from one of the shelves, setting it on the stove. As Mai did her inventory, Dyenes preheated to stove and got out a few eggs. 'Of course eggs don't last long, silly.' She thought, cracking a few into a small glass ramiken. 'That's the whole point, to use them.' She mused to herself again, lightly marinating one of the steaks in the egg.

				Hagetaka sighed, washing the uniform vigorously. her hands working the soap into the dark brown fabric. She would normally have the goblins do it, but they were easily distracted by shiny objects and the Boss WANTED his medals...For some reason.. She continued whistling the same song while she worked, and as she rinsed the water over the uniform the grime was driven from the suit like sand driven away by a strong breeze. Soon it was pristine, the medals shined and in proper position. She turned toward the stairs, folding it over her arm.

Crumbling some of the bread into small crumbs, she lightly coated the steak in the crumbs, then dropped it slowly into the pan, the crumbs sizzling against the heat. "I thought some Country Fried Steak would be in order, sir. I should be done in a few minutes." She answered, jostling the pan to keep the bread from sticking to the bottom.

				The thought of breakfast and the kind enthusiasm of another Human brought a smile to Dan's face, albeit a slightly confused one. "Country fried, huh? What country did you learn that in?" The idea of a unified nation still standing somewhere on Earth was all too intriguing to the enterprising conqueror. Especially if it was close enough for someone to have reached the castle from.

Le Petite Morte marched into the dining area. "It slips away, And all your money won't another minute buy...Oh! Boss, your costume is done."

				Dyenes' words were interrupted by the outburst of another maid, speaking rather loudly about Dan's 'costume' being done, whatever that meant. Politely allowing the outburst to finish unopposed, she smiled when Dan addressed her again. "No country in particular, sir. It's an old recipe, from before the war. My mother taught it to me, and her mother taught it to her." She waited for Dan to start eating before she did herself. "If... you would like, I could teach you, or anyone else. It's simple, and the ingredients are fairly abundant, even today."<br><br>She went quiet as she continued to eat, not wanting to talk with a stuffed mouth.

				The newest maid's polite offer was met with a slight shake of Dan's head. "Sorry, wouldn't do me any good. The only time I prepare my own food is on the road and that usually just consists of unwrapping it." He quietly went on to finish his breakfast, answering any more questions sent his way. He had just set his fork down after the final bite when the door buzzer resounded throughout several rooms of the castle, spaced that they could be heard anywhere.

				Standing at the door were 3 men, dusty and clearly exhausted from some great travel. The first looked to be in his 30s, sporting a rough red beard, a well-worn pair of overalls with a stained white shirt underneath, a tool belt, and a baseball cap with no visible insignia. The second may have been in his 50s, a kindly looking man whose grey hair was pulled back into a short ponytail. He wore a patched and stained labcoat with what was once a nice suit underneath and carried a suitcase. The third was somewhat difficult to see. He wore a brown robe with sleeves that extended past his hands and a hood that covered his eyes. He seemed to hang quietly near the back.<br>The bearded man spoke first, revealing his Osaka accent looking angrily at the one in the coat, "Dammit, doc, your map led us to one of them illreputable places!" This caused 'doc' to stammer defensively, "No, this is the place! It has to be, I calculated everything and got it from a reliable source!" Their argument was cut short when Dan showed up to the door, waving them in with an elated smile. "Gentlemen, you're in the right place. This is Dapper Dan's castle and I'm Dapper Dan. Now come in, come in, we're just about to have breakfast." With their differences settled, the men come in to eat.

				Taka stared at the food. She COULD eat, she just didn't see the point. She picked something at random off of the table and chewed it. She shrugged, not understanding the draw, probably due to lack of hunger or taste. She blinked at the display of Dapper Dan being a theatrical ass, before stiffening at the sound of the door, turning to run for it and seeing the elf had already beat her there. "Er...So who are these guys anyway, Boss? Your Cosplay group?" The little death asked as she followed the amassing group of insanity at the door, eyes exploring the 4 costumed mortals, ignoring the pointy eared one and her questionable mortality.

				Taka's strange inquiry drew a quizzical look from Dan, breaking his excitement and bravado somewhat. "Coswhat?... These are the smartboys I invited to study you guys." His smirk turned a bit mean-spirited as he actually turned to face his trapped shinigami. "They're going to poke and prod you with all sorts of exploratory instruments, you know. The secrets of the underworld will be ours. You will be attended by the good doctor here." He put his arm around the man in the labcoat, giving him a nod of acknowledgement. "Don't feel the need to waste too much of your anesthetic." The doctor gave a somewhat concerned look at this suggestion, speaking up only after an audible gulp. "I-I'd like a table set up in the bathroom if you don't mind. It washes easily and we might need the drain." Dan responded to this with a nod. "Anything for an honored guest. Taka, get this man a folding table."<br>The lord of the castle then turned to Mai, addressing her directly. "Mai, I want you to take this man to the maintenance garage and cooperate with him." He then turned to the bearded man, who looked immensely bored until he realized he was being mentioned. He wiped his hand off on his coveralls, which were just as dusty as his hand, before offering it to Mai for a shake. "Pleased to meetcha, ma'am, you must be Dan's mechanic. Couldja tell me what kinda warbot we're lookin' at here?"<br>The one in the robe stepped forward silently. He could almost be felt looking at Dan through his hood, taking even the bandit king of the wastes back slightly. "I, uhh, I had a ghost earlier... I accidentally dismissed it, though. Would you like breakfast? You can take a look at Taka when the doc's done." This was met with no more than a nod as the eerily quiet figure shuffled toward the kitchen despite never having been told where it was. Dyenes was shot a nervous glance by her boss. "Uhh, you should serve our guest here... Oh, right! Would you like to see the doc about that mutation later?"

				Dyenes' heart sunk into her chest. 'Mutation'? It wasn't a mutation... she was born like that. Sure, she was a little different, but all in all, she was still the same inside. What was she to say? For all intents and purposes, he owned her, and if this was what he wanted...<br><br>"Y-yes, Master." She replied, going off to the kitchen to serve what was left to his guest. As she quickly cooked up some more steak, the last she could find, she couldn't help but think if this was a bad idea. '<em>No, no...</em>' She shook her head. '<em>I shouldn't think these thoughts. I'm sure he's only doing what he thinks is best.</em>' Thriving off this thought, she put on her best smile and served the good doctor some breakfast. "I hope you enjoy it, sir." She smiled, placing it before him and standing idly by, in case he needed something.

				Taka frowned, the "secrets" of the underworld laid bare? For the BOSS?! "Like you would understand a multidimensional personification of an inevitable happening if someone gave you a map, Boss...," She grumbled, marching out of the room toward the closet where the folding table was, before giving the doctor a grin and her patented beckoning finger, which she usually reserved for people with no Christmas Spirit, heading toward the bathroom. "So Doc, you realize that this is a temporary physical form that was going to be used to kill the Boss, not my real spiritual underworld form.." She was half trying to convince herself that he would find nothing in the bundle of matter she lived in as she opened the door to the first story bathroom and started setting up the table.

				The man in the dining room ate slowly, his lack of visible expression making it hard to tell just how much he was enjoying his meal. A few bites in, he spoke out loud. "Touched..." His voice was dry and a bit scratchy, making a determination of age just as difficult as it was before he'd said anything. Before Dyenes could ask his meaning, he elaborated. "Not mutated. Touched... The first since many wars ago." He finished soon after that, pushing his plate away politely with a thin smile forming on his uncovered mouth. Despite his alarming garb and demeanor, there was something very soothing about what could be seen of his expression.<br><br>The doctor patiently followed Hagetaka out of the room as Dan tried to think of a witty retort, ultimately giving up to lounge somewhere until he was needed for something. Her beckoning motion was met with nervous steps forward, followed by a few deep breaths for the gentleman in the labcoat to collect himself as he stepped into the washroom. Her defiant excuse was met with a slight shrug. "Nonetheless, I was called here to examine you. Don't take Dan too seriously, though, we're just going to have a routine physical examination. Certainly not the dissection he seemed to have in mind." It was then that he turned around, facing his back to the very neatly arranged pile of dust Hagetaka couldn't seem to leave. "P-please disrobe so we can begin."<br><br>The mechanic marveled at some of the things in the garage.

He turned back to Mai, answering her question. "He said he found an old combat droid with no manual and wanted me to take a closer look at it."

The little death commented as she removed the uniform, pulling the dress over her head and draping it over the counter, now showing off the expertly crafted pile of dirt she currently called home, with its pale skin, smooth curves, and somewhat unimpressive chest.

But to hear him say she was 'touched' without so much as an explination? "T-touched... sir?" She stammered, unsure of the meaning. "If I may be so bold as to ask... your meaning behind 'touched'?"

"It makes some people more comfortable. Go figure." A reach into his medical bag brings out a clean stethoscope. He polishes the mirrored cone and the earpieces with a relatively clean portion of his shirt before putting them on and pressing the device to his patient's chest. "Now let's see if you have a heartbeat."

She had lean legs, not like a professional runner, but there was muscle there, sliding up and out a bit for her hips, and then to her flat belly, strangely devoid of a belly button.

Let's see what I got for that." He rummages through the various pockets in his overalls until he retrieves a pre-war datapad with a cord coming out of it.

"I'll let you input the password to turn off yer inner safeties and weapon systems for a while."<br><br>As the hooded figure enters personal space, he reaches up to uncover his head, revealing a completely bald man with ears just like hers.

It's amazing how long one of those things can remain teasingly cold. With nothing yielded from a very thorough examination of her front, he moves around back to run the metal down the upper half of her spine. "Hmmm... It's just not there, is it?"

				Dyenes was taken back by the man's ears, similar to her own. Running her hand across the elven ears on her head, she came back to her senses. "Water... yes, of course. I'll be right back." Ducking into the kitchen, her mind raced with many things. She'd never seen another with her ears before, even her parents had normal, human ears. She believed it was just what Master had called them, a deformation or mutation.<br><br>Could she have been wrong her whole life? Could she really be destined for something more? Only time could really tell. Returning to the man with water in hand, she handed it to him and sat down across from him, and gave three simple words. "I'm all ears."

				"If you want to get technical about it, it is there. I mostly deal with dead mortals, so when I constructed this body I sort of forgot the whole beating thing." The little reaper mumbled. Her skin seemed warm and alive, if a bit pale, and it even grew a bit pink where the cold metal touched it like a human body would. She seemed completely unaffected by her lack of a pulse. She was beginning to grow uncomfortable with the cold metal however, squirming a bit, "But all in all it means you can stop looking for it and get that stupid thing off me, Doc!" She tried to step away to break the contact between her back and the stethoscope.

				The man sitting in front of Dyenes laughed hard at her statement. It was a horrible wheezing sound broken up by intermittent dry coughs, but the grin on his face revealed no hint of pain from any of this. With a long gulp of water and a clearing of his throat, he was ready to begin his story. "Before the war, my family was from the motherland, like you. We came here as part of the pact. There used to be woods in the motherland, places with thousands of trees and... other things. The forest folk. Our kinds stayed away from each other until we knew our fate was mutual." A pause was given to drink the rest of his glass with a relieved sigh afterward. It did little to smoothen his voice. "People from the smaller villages who hadn't forgotten the old ways promised to guard the essences of the forest folk, letting their magics guard us from within until they were ready to come back into the world." He then makes a theatrical gesture of shaking his hands out in front of him. "Well, we're back!"<br><br>The cold metal is removed from Hagetaka's body as soon as she makes her demand, the doctor putting the tool away to pull a tongue depressor and a small flashlight from his medical bag. "Okay. Now open wide, tongue out." He holds them out, ready to examine, looking for signs of apprehension in the soul collector's face. "Oh, don't worry, it's perfectly clean. Would you believe nobody loots these things?" The thought of it gives him a small chuckle, as though remembering some in-joke only he is party to.<br><br>Mai's warning is met with a small nod. "Yeah yeah, I know what I'm doin'. Let's see, weapon systems..." He presses a few buttons, causing her hand to take cross form. "Check! Hellizat thing, though? Okay, languages..." His eyes widen after a few rapid taps of the keypad. "Wow. Lotsa dialects of Japanese, Russian, English, 'n Chinese." A small laugh rumbles out of the haggard man. "Let's setcha to Osakan for a while."

				The bemused little reaper crossed her arms and opened her mouth, small pink tongue extending, it looked like a practiced activity, probably something she did every time the Boss turned around. She rolled her eyes, looking at the doctor flatly, arms crossed over her small chest as she tapped her foot "Well, Lets get on with it, I'm sure the Boss wants all the eldritch secrets of my molars asap!" She frowned, no mortal had every <em>really</em> seen her nude before, and her ever-present bravado was fading into embarrassment.

				The good doctor put the depressor lightly to Hagetaka's tongue, giving her a standard examination. "Hmm. Everything seems alright, I guess." A few minutes of fairly uninvasive tests and questions later, the three invited men were assembled in the living room before Dan. The doctor was first to step forward, handing over a pad full of notes taken during his time in the mansion. "This is everything I've collected about her anatomy. I hope it comes to be of some use." This is met with a pleased smile and a firm handshake. "Thanks a lot, Doc. I'll call you again if I ever want her vocals snipped."<br>Next up was the Osakan mechanic, looking rather nervous. "I, uhh, something went wrong. I was running a diag on her language software and... Well... Boom." Dan's smile began slowly fading into agitation the second he started talking. The bearded man began to speak quickly. "She's just good fer parts now, b-but I'll buy 'er off ya. I got a full can of red paint and a fresh set of tires! Matching ones!" The mention of tires actually seemed to calm his client down, drawing a sigh of relief from his lips. Dan spoke just as happily as he had with the first visitor. "Sounds like a good enough deal. Don't expect another call, though."<br>Dyenes stood beside the hooded man, speaking for him. "Mister Dan, I am afraid I cannot stay here. I must leave vith my brather." The master's reaction to this was little more than a shrug and an expression of mild disappointment. "Well, damn, I just starting to like you. Safe travels, Dyenes." With his hands on his hips, he addressed the three men and his former maid at once. "Well, you can all get the hell out now. Your tanks should be filled and you can leave with as much water as you can carry." They left quickly, speeding off into the horizon and leaving Dapper Dan alone in the living room with his death. "I lost two servants in one day. Now what am I gonna do?"

Poor Boss, all alone...Must be crushing, eh? The lonelyness? Enough to make you want to..." Knock knock knock. The little death blinked and turned to the door ominously, eyes ablaze and slowly walked over, opening it with forced manners. "Hello, welcome to the residence of Dapper Dan, how may we assist you and get you on your way as fast as possible? Dan has a dance to get to." The small shinigami glared at the visitor, her green hair hanging menacingly around her pale but cute face. She was short, and wore a black uniform, complete with silver crosses at the neck and sleeves, but her obvious agitation made the threshold seem almost impassible.

				And of course, that very same level of agitation only made Haniel's apprehension grow.&nbsp; Still, her appearance alone would probably give the shinigami pause, once the other maid took a few seconds to take it all in.&nbsp; The simple white maid's uniform wasn't all that unusual, but the long, gray hair, the purple eyes, and, most unusually, the halo and wings?<br><br>"I-I... er... heard that this mansion had a job opening for a good maid?"&nbsp; She managed to meekly get out.&nbsp; She took a deep breath to calm herself, and...&nbsp; "I...&nbsp; I'd like to apply for the position, if it's still available."<br><br>The halo and wings were genuine, as well.&nbsp; Which meant that, for whatever reason, a real, genuine angel was asking to be a maid for the infamous Dapper Dan...

				The disheartened warlord raised his head to seek the timid voice's source, reacting to the actual sight with a few rapid blinks. "Oh, <em>now</em> my prayers are answered in a timely fashion!" His curious gaze turns to Hagetaka, a look of skepticism overtaking his face. "Let me guess, one of your friends called in to give me false hope?" He beckons his guest in nonetheless, always the gracious host. "Well, come in, anyway. You must have had a long trip." The humor in his statement at the time seemed dryer than the desert around his estate.

				The disbelief in Dan's face and voice only seemed to deepen at the angel's explanation of her presence. His head drooped heavily forward, only to be supported by his strong and calloused right palm. "Look, I really don't understand any of that stuff." The arm not holding up his weary skull then pointed out to the side. "You wanna be a maid? It's lunchtime, I'm hungry, and the kitchen's that way." His face was uncovered after that so as to give his less willing servant a very serious look. "Taka, you can go with her and help her find everything. I'll be in my office." And with that, the man headed upstairs without another word.<br><br>(Time to impress the master. Haniel is tasked with making Dan a good lunch.

				Hagetaka remained standing at the door, staring in shock at the angelic girl. "You...You! He is supposed to be dead, he doesn't get a guardian...!" She snarled, but seeing the innocence, the respect in her words she stopped, her mouth curling into a devilish smirk "Oh...I see. Well, I suppose I should show you the ropes, if you are going to be working here...Hello, I am Ameru Hagetaka, Dan's person private specter of Death." The shinigami put on a little used face. She assisted her new rival/teammate in making a nice sandwich, showing her, to the best of her ability, where the ingredients and plates were, and even guided her to the office, listing off the rules as she went. "And the North tower is mine, you can probably pick your own room, Dan really only uses the Master Bedroom and his office." She even knocked on the office door. It was all a mask however, hiding her ulterior motive to cast doubt on the seraphic newcommer, since Dan was always paranoid about his pet death, and this angel had no magical bindings to protect him from her.<br><br>(At 2011-05-20 20:43:24, Hagetaka (uid: 11699) rolls: 1d6 Result: 3 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=26483) x4 =12 Affection to try to make herself look good and helpful.)

				The knock was a somewhat unfamiliar sound to the man of the castle. In the past, other maids would knock before entering, but never Hagetaka. Oddly enough, she always seemed to volunteer for anything that involved storming a room where he was sitting, bathing or sleeping. Dan quickly decided he rather liked the sound of his office door being knocked on, a faint smile forming on his lips that had been frowning for a few minutes at all the data he was deleting. "Come on in, the door's open!" The voice from behind the door was a fairly cheerful one, full of life and hope for the future.<br>Then they walked in. Together. Hagetaka knocked on a door. Hagetaka was seemingly being nice to one of the other maids. Hagetaka was plotting something... A hint of unease crept into his cheerful enthusiasm. "That didn't take too long. Let's take a taste here." He takes the plate from Haniel and bites slowly into his sandwich. While the taste was certainly average, nothing special about it, something about the look in their eyes as he ate it rendered him unable to speak an unkind word. "This... is great!

				"It's... very nice to meet you."&nbsp; Haniel responded, curtsying this time to the shinigami.&nbsp; She seemed to be relaxing quite a bit, now that the other maid wasn't taking such an overtly hostile tone with her.&nbsp; Clearly, the angel wasn't one for confrontations at all.&nbsp; It did seem rather odd to her that a man's own personal specter of death would be acting as his maid, though...&nbsp; But, there would be time enough to find out about things like that, later, and it wasn't as though she was obligated to look into such cases any more, anyway.&nbsp; "I'm Haniel, a former Angel of Heaven.&nbsp; I'm really happy to be working here!"<br><br>Not knowing of Hagetaka's... tendencies, the angel was able to feel more and more at ease with the shinigami as she was shown around.&nbsp; Really, she just seemed to nice and kind!&nbsp; Showing her where everything was, telling her about the rules, and about the rooming arrangements within the mansion...&nbsp; The angel did her best to put lots of love and care into the sandwich she was making, not yet having developed the skills to know how to properly cook anything complicated, and when she was done, the shinigami was even kind enough to show her to the Master's study, as well!&nbsp; The angel felt fortunate to have begun working alongside someone so wonderful.<br><br>The master really seemed like a kind man as well, even in spite of all the horrible things she had heard about him during her travels.&nbsp; She was especially happy that he liked the meal she had prepared for him, and bowed again as he asked her name.<br><br>"My name's Haniel, sir!"&nbsp; She answered him enthusiastically.&nbsp; "And thank you, I'm really glad that the meal was satisfactory.&nbsp; I know that I haven't developed a lot of skills as a Maid yet, but I'm willing to work extra hard to make up for that!"<br><br>It was kind of adorable, really, just how excited she seemed at having been accepted.&nbsp; Though, it might grate on the nerves after a while...<br><br>(Hooray! ;D Delicious Favor!)

The wheel in the sky keeps on turnin', eh Boss?" She sighed as she turned toward the door, walking with a jovial skip, cheerful due to the new toy she got to play with, and an Angel no less!

				Dan gave Hagetaka a somewhat dismissive wave as she turns to leave, seeming to focus most of his attention on Haniel at the moment. "You may go, Hagetaka. Since you cleaned the Hell outta this place yesterday, I guess you're free until dinner." He then spoke directly to the other, folding his hands in a professional fashion. "Haniel, you can stay for a proper interview." As soon as his first maid is out the door, he speaks bluntly. "You didn't fall all the way from Mt. Fuji or wherever to live as barely more than a slave under the most vicious bastard in a tri-island area. I want to know what you're really here for, and if it's me, why my smoldering black soul is worth anything to your kind." Dapper Dan had seen a Bible before, of course. It was one of his prized acquisitions after he found it to be the only intact book in an old library. Unfortunately, the thing was written in German, leaving him a very limited understanding of the contents.

				The young woman groaned dragging her feet ahead as she neared the mansion. Damn those people, the map she had been given was poorly done, the distances were poor guesses or completely wrong, and the landmarks were so vague she had missed at least half of them already. Well, then again she had taken it after beating a thug up for trying to grope her ass, so she figured it was as good as she could get anyway.<br><br>This Dan had earned himself quite a reputation. Not only among the thugs though, it seemed like a few of the women she had run into knew of this man and his interesting lifestyle. It had been what caught her attention originally. Most women in the world these days had become tougher to survive the harsh world, and not very keen on teaching others unless they were paid for their time too. Working for this Dan just might let her learn things, although she suspected it would take a lot of convincing.<br><br>Dressed in a black maid uniform with dark blue ribbon on it and a blue strap along both sleeves, she had traded in for her leather jacket and a perfectly good sawed-off shotgun at a trade post for it, annd she hoped she would be able to get in with that outfit on. <br><br>This 'Dan' probably already had a small army of maids taking care of him, she thought to herself. Probably didn't pay much attention to them personally. Perhaps she would be able to pick up some good skills from older maids in time, and let herself become a little more womanly. The thought made her groan a bit annoyed. She was a woman, and one that looked quite sexy if she could trust the image she had seen of herself in the old cracked mirror, but she had spent a long time impersonating a guy and that mannerism had got stuck in her at some point. Better to avoid rape but bad for picking up finer manners and methods.<br><br>She could already see the mansion in the distance, and hurried on, dragging her bag with her. She was not leaving it now, after almost getting there. Besides, if she got turned down, she would have to get to shelter somewhere else before nightfall. Moving to the door of the Dan's mansion, she knocked loudly with her knuckles against the door.<br><br>Golden hair and sapphire blue eyes made her face attractive, but apparently if she wrapped her chest up she could be mistaken for a girly boy still, so she wasn't entirely confident with that alone. Her maid uniform was fairly old but well preserved, but the cleavage it was showing was a bit embarrassing to her, given how she had kept her chest under wrappings for a long time in the past. She felt confident the skirt was long enough to cover her knickers, but showed a bit of her slender, graceful legs.<br><br>She carried a very sharp combat knife strapped to her thigh under the skirt, sheathed so she would not cut herself by accident, but ready there in case someone thought they could try and grab her in a way she would not approve. <br><br>"Sheesh, how long are they going to keep me waiting?." She muttered, knocking on the door again louder this time.

				Dan merely shrugs at the passionate speech, kicking his feet up onto the desk. "Sure, why not? You make a good enough sandwich." Though the grin remains on his lips, his eyes give a very serious sideways glance. "And if at any point you <em>do</em> feel ready to ready to cross me, look to Taka as an example." He gave Haniel a brief look over, not appraising so much as searching for something specific. "Well, you got your own uniform, that's in your favor. Any questions?"<br><br>The knocking at the front door triggered a doorbell that echoes throughout the mansion. Far be it from most people to think to press a button next to the entrance for attention anymore. Dan yells off to the side as though Hagetaka were standing right next to him.

				The death-on-a-leash covered her ears as the heard the echo of the Boss's command. His voice was the only one that ever seemed to echo in this stupid castle. She shrugged, good mood unaffected as she almost skipped down the hall. Even with all the visitors, this was a good day. Who knows, maybe next a devil will show up? She grasped the large door handle and hauled it open, smiling, her teeth sharp and white.<br>&nbsp;"Welcome to the abode of the Ever-Narcissistic Dan. Who or what are you, and why should we care?"

				Look to Taka as an example?&nbsp; Well, now that Haniel thought about it, the shinigami did have that rather unusual outfit.&nbsp; All those buckles and straps.&nbsp; But what could they be used for...?<br><br>Well, probably something ominous, given the context in which the angel's fellow maid had been brought up.&nbsp; Either way, though, she certainly had no intention of crossing the Master.<br><br>"Hmm.&nbsp; Well... no, nothing else is coming to mind right now."&nbsp; Hani answered, when asked if she had any other questions.&nbsp; She waited until he was sure that Hagetaka was answering the door, though.&nbsp; "I'm sure the other maid will be able to tell me anything I need to know about the daily schedule, at least."

				The door opening and the woman speaking at her made Lilian Cross raise her brow and smirk. This woman seemed happy, though personable for certain. Lilian wasn't sure she would learn great manners from the person in question, but it was a start at least, and there were few other places to check anyhow. <br><br>"My name is Lilian Cross, and I've come here to see if I can get a job as a maid." She leaned in closer. "I want to learn a few things and got told the best way to do that would be to ah, <em>serve</em> someone." She reached under her skirt slowly, but drew out the knife to show it in one hand. "Though if he is the sort to think that <em>serving</em> includes groveling for his touch then I'll take my leave, only thing I reach out under this skirt to take off is the knife from its sheath." She smirked a bit, the thuggish tomboy side of her showing a bit, but with her chest no longer wrapped up by bandages her bosom was showing a fair bit better, the black and blue outfit hugging her form quite flatteringly.<br><br>"Anyhow, as long as the job doesn't involve hmmh, 'night duty' I figure it would be good." Not that she rejected the idea of that entirely but she was not going to make it part of her service. If she got into something like that, it would be her choice, not an order from a boss. Returning the knife to its sheath, Lilian stared at the death-on-a-leash and rested her wrists against her waist. <br><br>"So, any job openings or are you frakking full of servants here at Dan's domain?"

				Haniel's response brought a casual nod as Dan went happily back to work at his desk. "Good to hear." A few seconds later, the mention of Hagetaka crossed his mind. "...Actually, you might want to double-check anything Hagetaka tells you by asking me." Naturally, he couldn't admit that his power over the forces of mortality itself were limited. An impish smirk took over his face as he explained himself. "She's a bit slow in the head, you see, and often gets things wrong. Please try not to hold it against her."<br><br>With about thirty seconds having passed, he turns again, shouting to the imaginary servant beside him. "WHO'S AT THE DOOR?" He looked back to his new servant, clearing his throat for a few seconds before speaking. "Well, the place is clean and I'm not hungry. I guess you can do whatever you want right now." This thought brought a hand to his chin as he contemplated the lack of entertainment around his manor. He'd been back for a few days now and the only distraction he'd had from work in that time was a game of Poker. Something would have to be done...

				"F-fr...? No. Our most recent ones exploded, and were carted off by cloaked men. I am&nbsp; Hagetaka, the silent farmer, if you would like to apply for the position then---" Hagetaka was about to tell her to run out into the desert when she heard the echo of Dan's yelling, and grumbled. "Gorramn...Fine, then come this way and I will introduce you to the biggest of cheeses. In every sense of the term." She turned, rubbing her ear and wondering why her head always hurt when he yelled. <br>"YOU DON'T HAVE TO YELL ALL THE TIME, Boss." The last word she said with a normal inside tone as she pushed open his office door. "You'll never guess what I found on the doorstep with a note..." The green haired shinigami said as she took a step out of the way so she wasn't blocking the taller girl behind her.

				Stepping forward after Hagetaka's introduction, Cross cast a look at her surroundings and then turned to look at this 'boss'. There were a lot different tales about the man, some probably just rumors, others possibly correct, but it did seem like he at least employed maids like the rumors had said. Resting her hands together before her, Cross stepped a bit ahead and bowed her head a little. It was about all the manners she had learned, mimicking the trader that had sold her the outfit earlier.<br><br>"I am Lilian Cross, and its a pleasure to meet you. Your reputation precedes you." She addressed her words to Dan seriously, and tried to keep a smile on her face, but a bit of a thuggish smirk was forcing itself on her face as she remembered to bow, after having already stood up in front of him a while. <em>Idiot</em>, she cursed herself. She should have bowed when introducing herself, but forgot that entirely after the exchange between Dan and Hagetaka earlier.<br><br>"I'm sort of looking for work. I'm handy with a knife and... uhm, sorry, it takes a while to get used to this." She sighed and punched her right hand into her left palm, cracking the knuckles briefly to calm herself. Only to pause again. Another habit that was not very lady-like. This was not going well at all.<br><br>"Hmh. Thing is, I have not been working as a maid before but I would prefer to learn if the option is still there." She grit her teeth together. "Also, since I am new I'm willing to.. work without pay for a month first, to learn how to do things right." She felt a bit annoyed having to offer her service for free, but given how she had been a thug previously and not a maid, he figured that Dan might not be too eager to hire her unless she gave him a good reason to.

				As another new maid entered the room, Haniel opened up her mouth to introduce herself...&nbsp; Only to quickly shut it a moment later as she remembered that she herself hadn't been spoken to, yet.&nbsp; As a maid, she would undoubtedly be expected to hang around in the background and wait until she was needed, so speaking up now would be more like intruding into a private conversation than anything else.<br><br>So, instead, she watched.&nbsp; A new maid, Lilian Cross...&nbsp; As she introduced herself, Hani couldn't help but notice that she had some rather... interesting mannerisms.&nbsp; She acted rather manly, all things considered, which perhaps wasn't quite so strange, given the current state of the world.&nbsp; Or, maybe...&nbsp; Could it be that she was also someone who...?<br><br>The angel looked away, face lightly flushed and feathers ruffling of their own accord, as she tried to squash down that particular thought.&nbsp; No, it was best not to assume things about people, she definitely knew that quite well.&nbsp; Besides, she could already look forward to not being the only new maid working for Dapper Dan.&nbsp; That was more than enough, no need to add in any other crazy notions.

				There was something about Lilian's posture, her eyes, her voice that instilled the confused bandit lord with a sense of comradery. Somehow, he got the idea that the knife comment wasn't about her cooking. Nearly done with his work and in no mood for yet another long introduction, he extends his hand to shake with a welcoming smile. "Nice to meet you, Lil. I'm Dapper Dan, slayer of the silo mutants, holder of the sand god's ring, and father of half the people you've met." He could never resist a good opportunity to boast and this woman seemed like she would listen. He gave Hagetaka a dismissive thumb point once his hand had been released. "That's Taka, she's been killing people for centuries and still can't catch me, so don't think you'll have any better luck." His hand flipped over to point at Haniel, who was sitting quietly... so quietly... Perhaps she really was a gift from the heavens. "And that's Hani. She left the service of a god to be here, so I'd say this job just got twice as prestigious." <br><br>Turning his full attention back to this new maid, he sets his elbows on the desk and locks his fingers in front of his chin, giving her a curious look. "So just what are you? Probably not a kappa, little small for an oni, way too cute for a gaki... Okay, I give up." A bizarre thing to say to a new employee, even in this age.

				"Human." She replied, nodding her head to Dan and then casting a look at Haniel and at Hagetaka. "Interesting people you surround yourself with." Her smirk was short-lived as she put up a bit more serious face again, taking a breath and sighing. "I spent a while surviving on my own before running into a gang. They thought I was a guy so they were fairly harsh but there was comraderie there. I learned to defend myself and to live in this day and age, but eh, I got tired of bandaging down my chest and besides." She snorted. "I didn't want to spend my <em>entire</em> life hanging out with those guys. If they found out I wasn't dangling like the rest of them, well that would have been bad too." Shrugging, she watched Dan seriously.<br><br>"So that's why I traded a leather armor and a perfectly good shotgun for this maid outfit and came around here, where someone is actually hiring maids." She nod her head, finishing her explanation. No need to say that she was doing this for bride training. She wanted to be a pleasant woman one day with a family, but so far her temper got the best of her and the athletic side showed in her build.<br><br>The golden blonde woman smiled with a friendly look on her face as she then scratched her cheek slightly. "As for... wait." She paused, looking at the man a moment narrowing her eyes. "You called me cute?" She tensed up. Unsure if she should punch him or try and contain it and thank him for a compliment. Among guys, it was an insult, but she was trying to be a girl now. Ugh. "Hmmh. Well, its better than being a tomboy." She shrugged and looked at Dan. "Anyhow. I'll give it my best shot, and I'll work without pay for a month. Room and board, that's all." She felt a bit intimidated if she got tossed out, things would be troublesome.

				Dan was taken aback slightly at the look in Lilian's face as she reacted to a certain word he had said. Few would ever actually look him in the eye like that, especially over something so odd. This woman had some serious determination, the kind that brought a smirk of intrigue to his face. "Relax, I said you were cuter than a gaki. Assuming they exist, that is." He caught his chin in his hand as he slumped down to think on the matter for a second. "Wouldn't be surprised at this point." After that small tangent, he turns back up to face his new hire. "Huh. Never actually discussed payment with my maids before. A week ago, I didn't have any that could spend it." His face scrunches in thought for a bit before unraveling into a pleased look. "Alright, first month's free. After that, you'll be earning one bullet a day. Since there are no settlements nearby, I'll hold onto them and you can collect to go shopping whenever you like. How's that sound?" He extends his hand with the offer, giving her the chance to shake on it.

				"Seems good to me." Lilian nod her head and looked at the others briefly, then reaching over to take a hold of Dan's hand and squeeze it firmly. She wasn't sure whether or not she would ever need to ask for her 'wages' but it would help if something went wrong, and would let her get something to defend herself with out there again. She didn't think she could trade her maid uniform over for new weaponry that easily afterall.<br><br>Nonetheless after the handshake she cast a look around and bowed her head a bit. "I'll go get to work then." She looked at Hagetaka's direction, hoping to learn from the other maids afterall. <br><br>This was an interesting crowd to be working with, and working for.

				Taka busied herself with eyeing the two new hires, a much-too-polite angel who gets nervous around tomboys and a yakuza-girl? Life had just gone from a job (literally) to interesting. "Millennia, Boss." She mumbled as she slunk over to stand next to the angel-girl. "Looks like we're back to a threesome, eh, Hani? If we run out of rooms, there's room in my bed, Pigeon." She mumbled, trying to fluster the innocent avian. As the Boss and Lilian discussed wages, her ears twitched. "Payment? That's a good point! How about we work out a payment plan of 1/100th of your soul per day? Eh, Boss?" Hagetaka knew how he would answer, but making him mad was fun.

				The shinigami's aim was to get the angel flustered, and at that, she succeeded quite easily.&nbsp; Just a single remark about sharing a bed, and Haniel was left with her face flushed a deep red, looking away and trying to mumble out some sort of response, though with little in the way of success.&nbsp; The angel couldn't seem to decide whether to try to thank the shinigami, turn down the offer, get mad at being called a pigeon, or whatever other responses came to mind.<br><br>And by the time she ended up finally settling on just trying to laugh it off, Hagetaka had already moved on to a new target...

				Hagetaka's proposition dropped her boss' face into his palm, the exasperation shifting most of his weight to that one elbow on the desk. "Pay you?" It came out as a throaty grumble, the tone suddenly broken as he looks up at her, then to the other two. Something about the sight of them brings a smile to his face. "Oh, that reminds me. Even though Taka has been here longer, you shouldn't think of her as your better. Where you both are my trusted and compensated maids..." His eyes dart to the side, locking directly onto those of the mouthy reaper. "She's simply a captured slave."<br>Something about this belittlement puts a spring in the eccentric master's step, causing him to rise from his seat with hope and vigor. "I'd have her show you both through the rounds, but there's really nothing that needs taking care of right now. You're free to socialize, explore the place, or find something fun to do because my accounting's done and I am getting <em>bored.</em>" Something about the look he cast around the room after his little display almost seems expecting, as though he's appraising their reaction very carefully.

				"Hmm." Lilian watched Taka and Haniel, then smiling at Dan and showing a bit of sharp teeth. "This could turn out to be fun." She remarked, then stretching out. "Well, seeing how I'm going to try and start working here how about I start with something for that?" As Lilian Cross looked around she wondered what she could do. She could get him something to eat or drink ? Thought it might be he had only recently eaten or drank something. Looking around, she thought she saw some breadcrumbs. Yeah, he had probably just eaten a while back.<br><br>The thought almost made her stomach growl but she did command it to be silent, sucking her stomach in for a moment to try and focus. <br><br>"I could draw you a bath if you want to soak a while, you know, boss priviledges?" She suggested casually after a while. She could show her strength in getting some water over to a bathtub by buckets, using her strength and endurance to help out here. Heating the bathwater up would take some firewood probably. Again, a task of chopping such wood up. Though, thinking it over, she blinked. "Of course, if you actually got working pipes here then that's not really a big task at all." A bit depressing thought. <br><br>"I could try and fix you up something to eat, boss, but it looks as though you only recently ate, am I right?" She flashed a small smirk nodding at the plate on the table. "Eh well, I suppose I could start with cleaning. Plenty of space here, might get a bit dusty at times." She didn't exactly have the skill, but she had enthusiasm, and she hoped the athletic nature she had would help her out with that.

				Grinning a bit at Haniel, Lilian bowed her head. "Thanks. I'll have to learn from you I bet, I'm used to using strength to get things done but actual skill and know-how on how to do the stuff better, eh well I figure I'll pick that up while working alongside you. If the boss-man Ok's it of course." She nod at Dan and smiled. She wanted to prove her worth, and she was here to learn, so Haniel was like an angel. Scratch that, she noted. Haniel was an angel. Well, the day was a bit odd, but she was sure that things would turn out for the better. <br><br>"Oi, if you need to call me fast, just use 'Lil' though. Or 'Cross'.

				The mention of a bath got Dan to sniff under his sleeve a bit, the findings leaving him with a sour expression. "Come to think of it, I could use a bath." He then turned to Lil with a thoughtful expression. "Actually, you probably could too. You've been on the road for a while, haven't you?" He began heading to the office door on that thought, stopping there to look behind him. "C'mon, we got running water and it's been a while since I trusted someone enough to wash my back." He was about to head off again when another realization stopped him. He'd found something for one maid to do while leaving the other two idle. <br>"Taka... Teach Hani to do something. Maybe that card game you showed me." And with that, he was off, not bothering to check whether Cross was in tow or not.

				Looking at Dan at his words and shivering a bit, Cross wasn't sure what to think of this development. Washing the man's back felt a much for her but she did aim to not disappoint. "A-ah alright." That task wasn't what she had expected though, so a bit of color showed on her face though she was quick to try and&nbsp; get rid of it. Moving along after him as she looked back almost apologetically at Taka and Hani. Her boisterous entrance had probably interrupted the others and she felt a bit of shame for her selfish pride on that. She was competitive but she didn't want to just stomp on people that she would be working with, either.<br><br>Still, Cross was on Dan's heels, looking around for the location of the bath, silently deciding that if she was to help wash the master, she would try and do so in the uniform, dressed and proper, wash his back and then let him soak a while. She could take her own bath later, she reasoned. <br><br><hr><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">I hope I am not intruding too much already, I was hoping to join along in the tale but at the same time I feel I am being a bit too vocal with my character, I can cut back and wait for others to post more between my posts and so on if preferred... </div></div>

The Boss means poker...its a fun game, you try to beat the other person's hand of cards, and the loser has to drop some clothes. Sound fun, pretty bird?" She said, her voice a strangely calm sound. She slid from the room, expecting Hani to follow, knowing the living room had a nice card table right under that huge picture of the Boss.

				Lilian was lead a short way down the hall to a small room with a comfortably large claw-footed bathtub by the window. Cracks in the tile floor, as well as in the wall where the plumbing protruded, seemed to indicate that it was not the room's original furniture. Dan walked into the wide open door and began disrobing at a leisurely pace, draping his clothes carefully over an old wooden chair in the corner. As he worked at the laces of his boot, he turned to acknowledge his new servant. "Go ahead and fill it up. Hot's on the left, cold's on the right, I'll let you judge the temp." Not too long later, the bandit king's body was in full view. Being of European descent, his arms and legs showed a moderate amount of black hair, broken up by the numerous scars and burns he'd accumulated over the years. His midsection, while far from paunchy, had a bit of softness to it. The mark of someone whose rank kept them well fed. He stood there unabashed and slightly impatient as he waited for the tub to fill.

				Lilian nod and quickly got to work, surprised that they had running water. Well, it certainly helped things along, running water was a luxury in some places, but the man had obviously picked a good location to have this kind of thing working right. She reached out to the two pipes, opening them and starting to carefully measure it with her hand, her fingers rising to adjust the pour several times. <br><br>She had sometimes seen other bandits bathing, and a naked man did not make her get shocked or scream, but she couldn't help but cast a brief look down over Dan before hurriedly turning away. Somehow, it was a bit more embarrassing when he <em>knew</em> that Cross was a girl. It had felt different when dressed like one of the guys. Of course, she avoided bathing back then, at least publically, due to her secret, but she had been splashed and teased on it enough times, even thrown in with her clothes on a couple of times, to know the temperature that the old bandit gang had liked.<br><br>Perhaps that same temperature would work for Dan. She knew it was nice and hot, to melt away the stress, but still not too hot to be uncomfortable, enough to give a small heatrush to the body at first but then mellow down to a comfortable soak. She did her best to get it right, soon finishing and looking at Dan a bit apologetically. "My apologies it took this long." She stepped back and out of the way, gesturing over at the tub. <br><br><hr>At 2011-08-03 11:16:06, Lilian Cross (uid: 16754) rolls: 1d6 Result: 4 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=30553)<br>With Luck 2, that's total 8.

				Hagetaka went about explaining the rules, finding a nice seat for herself at the table, grinning at the parakeet. "Basically, the point of the game is to, through luck and skill, get a better hand than your opponents." She picked up the weathered box and emptied the slightly browned cards into her hand, laying out the faces and explaining them, giving the cherub the basics before handing the deck to a small shriveled green-gray goblin that seemed to arrive next to her chair without walking in. It began to shuffle expertly as Taka smiled. "Now for each hand, we each bet an article of clothing. That way we both face the same risk. How does that sound, Tweetie bird?" She took the deck back, quickly flicking cards between them, a haphazard pile of 5 on either side of the table. "For my first bet, I wager my headband." She jerked a thumb to the black and white band atop her head.

				The newest maid's apology gained her little more than a dismissive wave and a, "Don't worry about it." He stepped in, trying to face away from her as often as possible. This was the first time in quite a while he'd actually had a viable woman as company. Hagetaka wasn't bad-looking, but who knows what the anatomy of such a terrible creature hides? And Haniel was a real mystery as well, not to mention a bit suspicious. With that in mind, a real human's presence had him in a state he would rather not broadcast.<br><br>He wasted no time on the bath's luxury, knowing he wasn't the only one who needed to use it. Dan eased himself down into the water just long enough to soak his body and hair before standing once more, opening the wrapper on a bar of hotel soap and working a slight lather onto a rag before handing it to Lil. "Here you go. No need to be gentle." Once it's out of his hand, he works the bar into his pits, hair, and other such vital areas, expecting her to wash his back simultaneously.<br><br>(Actually, I wasn't expecting a roll for the water temperature, that was an automatic success.

				Lilian looked at Dan's back silently for a second as he undressed, but she smiled at him. She had to relax, had to not worry about things too much. Reaching ahead, she pressed the rag against his back firmly and began to rub it onto him, trying to wash him carefully but firmly. She was not used to things like that though, so she wasn't sure if she was using enough force or too much. It meant she had to trust on her instincts. Lilian did her best at least, grinding with the hand holding the rag, as she sought to wash him.<br><br>Her hands were a bit too used to using more force than was perhaps necessary, scrubbing him hard, but maybe too hard. She was clumsy at feminine things. "Wait a moment, I dont think this is right, I ah..." She slipped. She god damn slipped on the floor and landed on his back.<br><br>"Ahh! Sorry!"

Something about the mild scratch and rough movements added a subconscious level of excitement that left his own soaping a little clumsy and quite focused.

				Lilian smiled a little while doing her best to stroke the soap into Dan's skin and wash it away, even as her chest brushed against his back with her motions, she was doing her best with it nonetheless, focusing on getting him clean with her touch, fingers stroking firmly along his form, washing up all she could reach, stroking firmly along his body to try and get him to relax. Lilian Cross was more used to pretending to be 'one of the guys' than bathing a man. She wasn't about to complain though, especially as it meant she might be able to work here. Her fingers kneaded on his back, massaging and washing. She reached down to get a washcloth and start to wipe away the soap and rub the skin, her bosom still massaging against his back as well, as she moved in a firm fast pace, though careful to not hurt the skin she was washing, cleaning it up without rubbing it sore.<br><br>After she felt reasonably sure that she had managed to get Dan clean, even if she had taken her time with it, Lilian stood up and grasped her left wrist with her right hand behind her back as she looked at the back wall. "Do you require anything else right now Master?" The last word left her throat a bit tensely, showing she was still getting used to it. Indeed her stance itself was almost military one. The water had left her dress' front clinging to her chest a bit too well, but she tried to not pay it attention for now.

				The rather nice wash did nothing to relieve Dan of his sudden tension, adding quite a bit to it instead. He even considered, very briefly, letting her know exactly what she was doing. After all, it couldn't be intentional, could it? Not from somebody with a face and voice as stern as her's. Still, there was nothing he could do at that point but dunk the soap off and turn to face her, so he did just that.

				Lilian couldn't really be blamed for her assumptions. Most men of Dan's stature <em>did</em> bestow such extra duties onto any women in their employ. He always saw that way as cowardly or unfulfilling, though. A girl on the job may satisfy you, but a truly willing woman, a woman won with personality rather than authority will <em>please</em> you.

The moment of confusion and following explanation had cleared his mind enough for it to reclaim some of the awkwardly distributed blood. He gave a slight sigh and prepared to act mortal for a moment. "You don't need to apologize and you have nothing to be embarrassed about. If I were any other warlord on this island, you'd be right. You have nothing to fear from me or any other man while you serve in my castle, and if anyone tells you otherwise, you come to me. Understand?"

				"What..." The little reaper looked up as the clothes landed ontop of her, having walked out of the den when she heard the yelling, her surprise causing her to jump. She grinned, showing her small fangs. "Laundry day? That's easy!" She said as she unbuckled her uniform, letting it fall to the ground. Underneath was her pale, snow white skin, her black silk bra and panties stood out against it like a lighthouse in the dark. She shrugged the uniform of her boss onto one shoulder and her own uniform around one foot, before kicking it into the air and catching it, the little cap still sitting in her mossy hair. "Happy Laundry day. I love holidays..."

				Lilian looked at the reaper in surprise before letting out a loud laugh. It was not a cute and girly laughter, it was the thug in her and having had to act up like a man showing there at that moment. Her laugh was loud and wild, slapping a thigh repeatedly while shaking a head, smirking at the two of them. "That's rich." She shook her head. "Sheesh! Boss sure likes his women naked or dressed in just the undergarments, eh?" Her smirk was joking rather than all serious.<br><br>In all seriousness, she did want to dress again, but the way the reaper acted just got to her. She had needed a laugh.

				Dan let out a sigh that seemed to carry every bit of tension in his body at that moment. The awkwardness with Lil's situation was starting to worry him and it was nice to see her lighten up a little. Puffing his chest back up to usual posture, he turns to glance at the guffawing young woman. "Well, now you can both be in your underwear down in the laundry room, where I can't see you. I look forward to seeing you both in full, clean uniform in time for dinner. Understood?" Once answered, he heads off to the office to relax while the two take some time to get acquainted.

				"Although, My uniform doesn't really go in the washing machine..." The little death mumbled as she walked her thuggish companion toward the stairs. "You know, leading a human down to the underworld like this brings me back..." She mumbled as she opened the door to the laundry room, skipping on the brown cobblestone basement floor "So, the Boss's uniform is...special..." She said as she began removing the many medals of questionable origin.

				"Gotcha. Don't lose anything, don't break anything, make sure its spotless unless something there is a mark that he wants to keep as a particularily impressive memory of something, that sort of thing?" Lilian had seen her share of quirks in bandit chiefs along the way, but Dapper Dan was probably in a whole another category there. Nonetheless, the mansion, and the maids, it all came together in a very interesting setting for trouble.<br><br>"As for taking me to the 'underworld', eh well if I got fired here I probably would be going to hell soon after. Didn't exactly get a cheap deal on an outfit for this gig. I haven't got a good gun to protect myself with after all of this, and had to sell the good outfit for a fight. So, hoping I can stick around rather than end up in trouble. I might literally end up 'going to hell' if I did." Her joking was half-hearted, as she was admitting how important it was for her to keep working there. Hopefully getting the little death's help in things.<br><br>"Still, I figure you got a lot of know-how. The senior maid in experience." Her lips showed a small smirk. Seniority was an advantage in some matters, but saying it to a woman, eh well that felt a bit of a social faux pas. She hoped it was at least tolerable comment though.

				The maids had gone downstairs and Dan was finally in peace. The new one seemed to have the right attitude and plenty of respect for him, but he could tell she would be a handful at times. A nice, firm handful of... He had to physically shake the images out of his head to concentrate. That kind of thinking had nearly caused him to lose his cool once already. Come to think of it, they would likely be downstairs for at least an hour. As much as grief as Hagetaka gave people, she was a decent conversationalist. While that went on, it was time for the stressed bandit king to retire to his chamber and curl up with a good book.

				Hagetaka snorted. "To be honest? Make sure there are the same number of shiney things. I've replaced a few with bottlecaps and he didn't notice. One was a bottlecap <em>before</em> I started washing his clothes." She said with a snarky tone that made it hard to read if she was serious or not, her hands unpinning metals and setting them aside. <br>"Hm...What was your name...Lilian...don't think I've met your death, but I am sure he or she is just you type. We always are, thats why they call us Miss Fortune, or Sir Prize. Get it?" She chuckled at her own joke.<br>Her pointed ears twitched at the seniority comment. "Well, I am immortal. But then, in strange eons or whatever. Why do you ask, black blade?"

				At that time Lilian looked at Hagetaka and took a closer look at the shiney medals and smirked. Indeed it seemed that the outfits decorations had been 'fixed' accordingly. Smirking slightly, she nod her head and then let out a small laugh. "Alright, it does seem like a good compromise here. As for my name, I am Lilian, and no I dont think I've met my death yet, at least they did not introduce themselves to me. I did meet a guy that introduced himself as a god's gift to women, but given the shape of this world, I decided upon myself that god just has a sick sense of humor." She let out a small laugh and then shrug.<br><br>"Dan seems like a fellow that isn't entirely crooked at least. Maybe a bit eccentric but eh, cant ask for more in this day and age I think. Though keeping a 'death' at hand is not normal by any means. I'd figure people would be afraid of you though." She remarked this with seriousness, shrugging a bit at the time. "And no reason, just making chit chat. Though I would like to live for a lot longer than I am expecting to."

				"Yes, god seems like a pretty funny guy." The wee reaper said, turning away as she tossed the unmetaled uniform to a sudden team of little grey goblins who quickly rushed to toward the washing machine. "I personally think that life was a practial joke that got out of hand, and he would like to put it behind him. Thats why he made us, the beings known as Death, and yet immortal in mockery of our occupation. Why he gave us weaknesses I'll never know. Every Rose has its thorn I guess?" <br>She shrugged, it had been a long time since she had discussed the metaphysical...she quickly changed the subject as she realised she was speaking to a mortal. "As for living longer, that's what Dan got, and look how he turned out. Powerful, surrounded by maids, and only <em>mildly</em> insane..." It almost sounded like she was grumbling at that last bit.

				"Sounds like it has given him a lot then. Though it sounds almost like you are suggesting he should have felt a bigger effect from things there." Looking at the little reaper and the grey goblins curiously, Lilian crossed her arms and tapped her chin.<br><br>"Still, I figure that you have seen a fair share of assassination attempts against him in the past years. Considering his nature as a powerful man, its more than likely he has a few allies and more than a few enemies as well then." Smirking, she brushed her cheek with one hand and turned to face the reaper again.<br><br>"Anyhow, I am not sure how death and life and all that big stuff comes together, but I do know I enjoy living, even if its a touch hard at times."

				"Well, you know, most people atleast have the decency to comtomplate eternity and drive themselves crazy when they can't die..."<br>Her ears twitched at the word assassin. "Right?! That's what I thought when I became Dan's Death. Go figure. But hey, the longer I stick around the longer I get to enjoy life, amiright?" <br>She closed the washing machine, the goblins still inside, and turned around. "From what I can tell, this is pretty cool world, but how did a human like you survive?"

				Lilian paused at the sudden question, looking at the little Death a bit warily, speaking up then. "I was fairly lucky. I lived at an area mostly untouched by the war, but it didn't mean everything was well. Food was running out, and constant predation by bandits and thugs was having its toll. There were walled areas but those were just asking for a fight and they were not prepared to a larger fight, not enough guns and not enough brave folks, but the walll telling the bandits in the neighborhood that there was something valuable there since people made an effort to protect it."<br><br>Drawing breath, she sighed. "I disguised myself as a young man, and left. On meeting with bandits, I told them I was sick and tired of the rules in the society and just being afraid and farming land hoping things would get better. So they were suspicious but took me under their wing, first as little more than a 'slave', running errands and such, but since they thought me a boy, they were at least not going to cause me too much trouble."<br><br>She drew a breath and looked aside. "Eventually it turned into more thuggish activity, but I distanced myself from it in part. I was glad the group was not after slavery at least, but it was little comfort when they attacked settlements. I searched for goods while I was there, but I didn't shoot at anyone unless ordered to and part of a group. Though it doesn't excuse it." Shrugging a bit, she looked at the little death. "In my defense, most of the folks in that area were bandits themselves, so it was mostly bandit groups competing with one another and waging small war between one another."

				The shorter girl nodded, hanging her uniform on a laundry line set up near a faucet, complete with hose, on the wall, her shiney smooth uniform only needing to be sprayed with water and dried.<br>As she listened she had to stifle laughing evily, instead snickering, her hands shaking as she got soap and bleach for the washing machine, the goblin pushed the door open to escape, and she tossed the cleaning materials over it before pushing the machine back closed with her behind, holding her stomach from laughter at this point. "Lil, you realise you are rationalizing and then apologizing for murder to a death, right? I am a personification of the act you are so guilty about." Hagetaka grinned, canines exposed, honestly amused by the concept.

				"I still feel guilty at times." Sighing, Lilian got to work with her own outfit then, trying to wash it up since she would be staying anyway. No sense in staying in a soaked outfit, no sense in letting it just dry on her like that either. So she began to wash up the outfit, standing naked near the little death, figuring that Hagetaka had seen enough in her lifetime to not probably be too concerned. Though for the eyes of death, her body carried a few scars. Shots fired at her stomach. Stab wound between her ribs, healed up other than lighter-shaded skin where the strike had come. Cut scars on the back of her ankles, someone had hurt her viciously but she seemed to have healed up from it. <br><br>As far as humans without supernatural side to the mwent, Lilian Cross was a stubborn girl refusing to die despite how the life had treated her.

				Hagetaka fired up the machine, nodding and turning to her own shiney uniform, taking the water hose and turning the knob near the nozzle, the water creating a rainbowing arc. <br>"I suppose, I'm just not a good person to express guilt to. I can't feel guilt for ending lives, there is only so much time for each person." The small reaper shrugged, looking over the other girls scars "Humans like to brag about their skills keeping them alive, but really its just fate. There is nothing you can...Er...Not much you can do to survive past your...time. Luck is a good way to put it, I guess..." <br>She turned off the hose and set it down letting her uniform dry as the machine, one of the last of its kind, knocked and swirled the clothes in soap and water.<br><br>(I am sorry for the delay, everyone, I have been away from home for the past two weeks, and had writers block. Please forgive me)

				( I haven't seen anyone else either so I figured this game might have been dead by now. Well, posting a little) <br><br>"Well, I can kind of see the sense in that. People are born, and people have to die in time. Still, people dont want to die. Everyone's afraid of it I suppose." Shrugging, Lilian watched the clothes being washed, having made her best effort to get her own clothes clean and drying soon enough, while looking at the Uniform meant to be returned to Dan later on.<br><br>"I will expect to eventually meet my own death, hopefully sharing a few words before the inevitable, but I do hope that it will be a long time from now." She smirked and shook her head. "Getting this far, into this strange company, I at least feel there's hope."

				The little death frowned, nodding. Death was inevitable, that's how it always would be. This was deep, even for an immortal being created exclusively for dealing death. She shrugged, raising an eyebrow, and turned the hose toward her fellow maid, putting a thumb over the hole so the spray would fan into a wide blast, creating rainbows in the artificial light, her face changing quickly from uncomfortable introspection to a wicked grin as she sprayed the serious girl. <br>

				Blinking in surprise as she was being splashed with water and yelping at the attack, Lilian then rushed ahead trying to tackle the little Death and see about turning the hose on her. Of course, if the two of them ended up running around the house with a water hose and skimpy clothes clinging to the skin, the master might not be pleased. <br><br>So she'd have to make sure to take little death down swiftly, and so she rushed forth trusting in her athletic build to try and overpower the little death, rather than her ability to come up with some nice trick to work into things.<br><br>(((EDIT: Sorry, I'm losing interest since everything seems to mostly stand still... I like the people in this but the game seems to be at a slow death state and I try to cut out games that I am no longer seeing much hope in resurrecting. I apologise and wish everyone well, but I'm going to sign out from this game.)))
