Circe's Manor: Re-re-redux!

[Harri-chan]

Melanie lifts her hand away, and holds it up, along with the other, to show she was backing off. "Tell you? Circe... I'm not telling you to do anything. You asked for reasons why you shouldn't destroy her, and I'm merely making suggestions... ", she said with a shrug of her shoulders.

[Josie]

Josie wonders about the halls, gazing at the bits of art and statues that line the halls of the manor as she finally reaches the suppose door to the kitchen. She reaches out, giving a few knocks against door before peeking a head in. "Hello?"

[Circe]

Melanie lifts her hand away, and holds it up, along with the other, to show she was backing off. "Tell you? Circe... I'm not telling you to do anything. You asked for reasons why you shouldn't destroy her, and I'm merely making suggestions... ", she said with a shrug of her shoulders.

...Right. Of course you were... *Circe sighs, and in a moment, the fire on Elliot's clothes goes out.* Sorry about that... I get a little carried away sometimes.

Josie wonders about the halls, gazing at the bits of art and statues that line the halls of the manor as she finally reaches the suppose door to the kitchen. She reaches out, giving a few knocks against door before peeking a head in. "Hello?"

*Beyond the door, Josie finds a kitchen where several women in chef outfits can be seen hanging about, doing stuff. One in particular comes and greets Josie as she comes in.* Well, hey there! What can we do for you?

[Harri-chan]

Elliot breathed out a huge sigh of relief as the fire was extinguished, and he collapsed down onto his knees with a moan. A smile curled the corner of Melanie's mouth, "No need to apologise, Circe. If you feel she deserved to have her clothes on fire... then she did", she said, glancing over at the frightened boy who was poking at the charred tutu.

[Josie]

Josie fully opens the door, gazing about the kitchen in a sense of wonder, amazement and oddly judgement. She looks over to the dark hair chef and gives a slight bow. "Hello there and good afternoon. I'm from the infirmary. it seems one of the maids had a bad bout of food poisoning earlier. Something about green and purple eggs she said..." She says to the chef, rolling up the map and placing it under her arm. She idly sniffs the air a moment. "I also came by for a cup of water for her. Gotta keep her fluids up and all that....and I think something is burning..."

Yes, yes... *Circe walks over and gives Elliot a closer inspection.* I suppose the maid treatment would probably be a good place to start...

Well, I dunno where she woulda got... Huh? *The chef considers something Josie just said.* What was that last part again?

[Harri-chan]

Elliot felt a shadow fall across him, and lifted his head to see Circe standing over him. She was impressive enough as it was, but when crouched at her feet the effect was amplified. He swallowed a deep breath, but didn't say anything. Melanie giggled and stepped up alongside Circe, reaching out to pat the boy's head, "Hear that, Ellie? You belong to Miss Circe now".

[Josie]

"Something is burning" She mentions as she sniffs the air again, crossing her arms. "Smells...cake-y..."

Hm... *Circe grabs Elliot by the arm and pulls him up to his feet, at the same time sending a small jolt of magical energy through his clothes, converting them into a maid uniform.*

"Something is burning" She mentions as she sniffs the air again, crossing her arms. "Smells...cake-y..."

A... cake... Oh, no! *The chef suddenly runs off to check on the oven, leaving Josie at the door.*

[Josie]

Josie smiles slightly and follows her into the kitchen, keeping her distance.

[Harri-chan]

Elliot blushed as he was hauled up to his feet, before blinking in suprise as he found himself wearing a maid's dress. One hand brushed along the cool silk material of the skirt, before looking back up into Circe's eyes and gulping.

Josie smiles slightly and follows her into the kitchen, keeping her distance.

*A short way away, Josie spots the chef pulling a lightly singed chocolate cake out of an over.* Aw, man. I spent all day working on this, too...

Elliot blushed as he was hauled up to his feet, before blinking in suprise as he found himself wearing a maid's dress. One hand brushed along the cool silk material of the skirt, before looking back up into Circe's eyes and gulping.

Well, I suppose we should lay out the basics now... Ellie, what do you know about serving and being a maid?

[Harri-chan]

Elliot gave his head a little shake, long blonde hair swishing about loosely. "Not a lot, Miss Circe... ", he said in a quiet voice, now clasping his hands together against the front of the dress as he looked to her. "But I've worked as a waitress before... in a bar, and I'm pretty good at baking", he explained.

[Josie]

Josie shakes her head, approaching the chef and her lightly burned cake. "You could still save the cake, just peel off the layer of burn off like an apple with a good knife."

*The chef looks up at Josie.* Really? You can do that?

I see. Sounds like you'd be good in the restaurant, then... Anything else?
