Circe's Manor Raids Again

[Abillioncats]

This might be a little awkward, then... See, Nozomi only speaks Japanese. She seems to understand us just fine, but actually having a conversation with her's tricky...

Robin looked confused. "How is that possible?" How could someone understand their language but not be able to speak it? That didn't make any sense to her.

*Kelly shrugs.* Beats me. Magic I guess, or maybe some kind of ninja thing... Anyway, we're here. *She stops in front of a door with "Nozomi" written on it.* You think you can handle this?

[AmbushCat]

*Amanda grins and gives Charis a thumbs-up.* I figured you'd like it! So, can I get anything else for you in here?

Charis: *calms down some* Well, some copies of this particular uniform would be nice. *gestures at her clothes* Almost everything I had went into paying off my debts, so I'm short on a lot of stuff.

“Sure, I don’t see why not...” She knocks on the door. “Nozomi? I have a ninja mask for you...”

More uniforms? Can do! *Amanda takes a quick note.* Anything else?

“Sure, I don’t see why not...” She knocks on the door. “Nozomi? I have a ninja mask for you...”

*The door opens, and a cute Japanese girl steps out! She looks at Robin and her basket, then says something in Japanese (translation provided for convenience).* Ah, my mask! They really did get that stain out quickly! *She takes cloth from the pile and wraps around the lower part of her face as a mask.* Yep, that's perfect. Thank you!

Robin found herself blushing a bit, the girl was really cute... She couldn't understand what Nozomi was saying but from her tone of voice and how happy she looked, it seemed she was quite pleased. "Well uh...forgive me for assuming what you're saying but...you're welcome." She rubbed the back of her head, feeling a bit awkward...it was kind of hard to have a conversation like this. "I'm Robin...just in case you wanted to know...man I wish I could understand you..."

...She's in the phone, isn't she? *Leona sighs and shakes her head.* You can't let me be done with this can you? *Leona shoots a text back saying, 'Go home, Qtty! Leave me alone!' She then leaves the arcade and starts heading back to her room, where she'll hopefully be able to get some proper rest. She's really not in the mood to deal with anything else at the moment...*

The maid didn't receive any messages back from this unknown sender; likely they found themselves a new home to 'play' around in. Leona was finally free and able to catch up on some well-needed rest.

See for yourself. *Penny shows Danaye Abby's message.* I think she's saying she's in a study on the first floor. She didn't say to leave her along or anything...

"I suppose we could check up on her while we think of something to do around here?", Dan suggests, ready to look for the stairs nearby to get them to the first floor.

"I'm Robin...just in case you wanted to know...man I wish I could understand you..."

Depending on if Dan was anywhere nearby, Robin might have gotten her wish granted by the genie's subconscious.

[AmbushCat]

More uniforms? Can do! *Amanda takes a quick note.* Anything else?

Charis: Hmm... *thinks for a moment, then points out an empty corner of the room* I'm thinking... a mini-fridge, maybe? Water's the only beverage I can safely drink without getting sick, and I'd like to be able to have easy access to it without needing to raid the kitchen whenever I get thirsty.

Works for me. Let's go. *Penny leads the way down to the first floor and to the study where Abby said she is.*

*Around the time Robin says this, another maid and a girl in a genie outfit pass by her. Afterward she realizes that, even thought Nozomi hasn't stopped speaking Japanese, she can now understand her perfectly!* It's a pleasure to meet you, Robin. My name is Tsukikage Nozomi. *Nozomi places her hands at her side and bows.* Even if you can't understand me, I hope we can get along.

Charis: Hmm... *thinks for a moment, then points out an empty corner of the room* I'm thinking... a mini-fridge, maybe? Water's the only beverage I can safely drink without getting sick, and I'd like to be able to have easy access to it without needing to raid the kitchen whenever I get thirsty.

Uniforms and a mini-fridge with water, got it! *Amanda finishes her note taking and puts away her pad.* I can go ahead and arrange for all that now, if that's OK. Feel free to look around the manor more in the meantime! Or you can just stay here and chill. Totally up to you!

"I hope we get along too..." Robin's eyes widen as she realises she can understand Nozomi. "Wait...I can understand you now! How am I able to understand you!?"

Charis: I think I'll look around a bit and get a feel for this place. I'm assuming there's a room set aside for work schedules and such?

[xGoggles]

Works for me. Let's go. *Penny leads the way down to the first floor and to the study where Abby said she is.*

Danaye blinks as her male disguise poofed away again while they were walking. "Really?.. What happened this time?..", she says a bit annoyed. Going by that likely a wish has been granted, she looks around for anything that might have changed.
Giving a shrug when not finding anything out of the ordinary, she continues to follow Penny to the study.

Oh? *Nozomi looks up from her bow.* So you couldn't understand me a moment ago, but can now? How mysterious... But it's not a bad thing, is it?

Charis: I think I'll look around a bit and get a feel for this place. I'm assuming there's a room set aside for work schedules and such?

Oh, sure! Let me just... Here. *Amanda hands Charis a map of the manor and points her to a certain room.* There's a meeting room where you can find out about stuff like that.

*And so the two of them reach Study #4, where Abby is presumably waiting for them!* Hello, anyone in here?

Charis: *looks over the map, nodding when she's done* This... this'll be fine. Thanks for helping me get situated, Amanda.

*And so the two of them reach Study #4, where Abby is presumably waiting for them!* Hello, anyone in here?

Anyone's not here. Abby's here, though.

*When they arrive, Abby's bunched up on top of a high-backed chair, staring out the window at nothing. She looks over when they arrive, sighs quietly, then jumps off.*

Just doing a bit of bird watching.

"Bird watching? Hm.. What kinda birds are around here?", Danaye asks while also looking outside to see if she could spot any birds.
