Circe's Manor: Re-re-redux!

[Circe]

*Through the gate, Mark sees a path winding winding up to the mansion itself, lined with a couple plants of the Color-fruit-bearing kind. Next to the gate is a doorbell, should he be interested in such things.*

[Harri-chan]

After tugging on the drawer for a moment or two, Elliot backed off and scratched his head. He bent down, examining the drawer for a keyhole, or a latch, or for some other explanation as to why it would not open!

Blinking for a few moments, Mark stares at the odd plants that have some weird fruit on them. However, he does notice the doorbell and rings it, waiting for a response.

After tugging on the drawer for a moment or two, Elliot backed off and scratched his head. He bent down, examining the drawer for a keyhole, or a latch, or for some other explanation as to why it would not open!

*No lock, no key, no visible latches... It looks like it should open on its own, but won't. ...While Elliot's busy pondering this, though, there's a knock at the door!* Is everything OK in there, Miss Circe? I heard a bit of a commotion...

Blinking for a few moments, Mark stares at the odd plants that have some weird fruit on them. However, he does notice the doorbell and rings it, waiting for a response.

Geeze, when did we get so popular...? *The same redheaded maid that greet the last few people comes out to meet Mark.* So, are you here for a job too, or what?

[Harri-chan]

Hearing the knock on the door and the enquiring voice, Elliot froze in place. He stared across the room with a horrified expression, and then clasped one hand over his mouth, and stood still, hoping whoever it was, would simply think they had made a mistake and go away...

[Circe]

Miss Circe? Miss Circe? *More knocks...* ...Oh God. You're not hurt in there, are you? If you're OK, please say something!

[AmbushCat]

Yeah... Well, Dani, meet Claire. Claire, meet Dani... She's new.

Claire: Hm? ... *looks up* Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see you here. *stands up and curtsies* Welcome to the manor, Miss Dani. I hope you enjoy your employment here.

[Harri-chan]

Elliot cringed. If he attempted to reassure the voice, he'd surely give himself away, but the longer it went on, the less likely she seemed to give up and go away. His heart was racing inside his chest now, and he crossed to the closet, trying to open the doors...

Elliot cringed. If he attempted to reassure the voice, he'd surely give himself away, but the longer it went on, the less likely she seemed to give up and go away. His heart was racing inside his chest now, and he crossed to the closet, trying to open the doors...

*The closet does open a crack, but all Elliot can see inside is a dress much like Circe's normal one and a pair of high-heeled shoes. The gap's not exactly open enough for him to get at anything though...*

Oh, now I know something's not right... *Having presumably heard Elliot messing with the closet, the woman outside starts fiddling with the door to get in.*

[Harri-chan]

Rather than try to get anything out of the closet, Elliot attempts to hide inside, but of course, if the gap was too small to bring anything out, there was no way he was fitting through. Unfortunately, he'd wedged his arm into the gap, and it had got stuck. Hearing the rattling of the door, he groaned, his cheeks going red as he struggled to free himself before she came in...

[Circe]

*A moment later, the woman, a maid, enters the room and starts frantically looking around.* Sorry, Miss Circe, but I... *Spotting Elliot with his arm stuck in her Mistress' closet, the maid pauses and stares at him, thinking about what she's seeing.* ...You're not Miss Circe...

[Harri-chan]

Elliot's eyes widened at the sight of the large-chest maid, and cringed as her gaze fell upon him and she pointed out that he was not Circe. "N-No... look... I wasn't doing anything bad... I just needed a pair of panties for this guy at the comic book store... ", he tried to explain.

[Circe]

Not doing anything bad... But, you snuck in, and are taking Miss Circe's clothes? Do I have that right? *The maid walks up to Elliot and starts looking him over.*

[Marky]

Geeze, when did we get so popular...? *The same redheaded maid that greet the last few people comes out to meet Mark.* So, are you here for a job too, or what?

Blinking, Mark just stares at the maid for a moment, before scratching his head a little. "Well, um, I guess I could use a job, but, um...I was really just looking around and such, and kinda wondered just who lived here." He says, shrugging a little.

[Harri-chan]

"Well, I suppose you could call it sneaking in... but taking her clothes? Just a pair of panties, that's all! Look at this place, she's so rich I bet she has so many pairs she'd never even miss them!", he said with a blush, watching her come closer, his eyes of course being drawn to her breasts...
