Circe's Manor: Re-re-redux!

[Harri-chan]

Elliot turned to follow the girls back up the steps, and through the door into the manor. "Thanks, I really appreciate this... ", he said, unable to entirely avoid watching the butts of the pair as they walked ahead of him.

[Circe]

No problem! *Once outside, Marcia waits for Elliot in the hall before walking off, signalling for him to follow. Marissa, meanwhile, seems to be headed somewhere else entirely...*

[Harri-chan]

"Oh... catch you later, Marissa... ", he said, waving as she headed off before hurrying a little to catch up with the short-haired cheer captain. "So... I guess you both have to go back to maid duties after practice or something?".

[Circe]

Generally, yeah... Today's actually my day off, though, so I can just do whatever. *Marcia grins.*

A blue vortex opens up in one of the upper floors of the manor on the ceiling. A scream sounds from the vortex as a person slams hard onto the floor with a groan. "Ow..." The person grumbles, starting to push himself up as the vortex disappears. "That is the last time I offer to test a portal machine for a friend..."

He stands up and brushes himself off. He has short brown hair that is parted to the right and gentle blue eyes behind a pair of glasses. He is wearing a white t-shirt with a navy overshirt, blues jeans a black sneakers.

[Harri-chan]

"That's great. I was starting to get a little worried Circe had you guys doing what she wanted full time. Any idea what you're gonna do?", he asked, following her through the corridors of the manor. In the distance, he heard the sound of a scream and came to a sudden stop, "Did you... hear that?", he asked, suddenly quite nervous.

[Circe]

Yeah... You wanna check it out? It sounded kind of far off...

*Looking around, the man discovers that he's in what appears to be a bathroom. Sitting behind him is a nude woman in a bathtub, who is dumbly staring at the intruder...*

[Harri-chan]

"Uh... not really... ", he said, fearing what they had heard was actually Circe dishing out punishment to someone else that had displeased her. "I mean... I'm sure with so many people here, there's probably already someone else heading there", he added, before swallowing a deep breath. "Is it much further to Elise?".

[Josie]

Josh blinks, staring at the woman in the bath with a heavy blush growing on his face. "H-hi there..." He fumbles out, then looks around. "ummm...where am I exactly?"

[Circe]

Josh blinks, staring at the woman in the bath with a heavy blush growing on his face. "H-hi there..." He fumbles out, then looks around. "ummm...where am I exactly?"

*The woman stares at Josh for a few seconds more, then stammers out an answer.* C-circe's Manor...

"Uh... not really... ", he said, fearing what they had heard was actually Circe dishing out punishment to someone else that had displeased her. "I mean... I'm sure with so many people here, there's probably already someone else heading there", he added, before swallowing a deep breath. "Is it much further to Elise?".

Yeah, I guess someone else will get it... Come on, it's not that far. *Marcia continues on!*

[Harri-chan]

"I don't think I came this way before... ", he said, noting the walk back to Elise was seemingly much further than the walk from Joan Cooper's room to the baseball field. That meant they probably weren't heading back there, to where his clothes had been left. He blushed, glancing down at the green dress again, gently tugging it down against his thighs.

[Josie]

"Circe's manor...Right.." He coughs slightly, his glasses starting to fog over from the steam in the bathroom. "I...just be going now. Sorry about this..." He says, reaching behind him as he fumbles for the doorknob. "And I swear I didn't see anything.."

Just... Just go, please... *The woman sinks lower in the tub.*

Well, it's a big place, and you're new... Not that surprising. *Eventually, Marcia comes to a stop in front of one door and knocks on it.* Elise? Are you in there?

*A second later, Elise's voice answers from inside.* Marcia? Is that you? ...Ellie didn't cause some kind of problem, did she?

No, no! She's fine, actually. It's just... Well, we couldn't have practice, since the A's never showed up, so she wanted to come see you...

OK, OK, I get it... Send her in. *Marcia shrugs and opens the door for Elliot.*

[Harri-chan]

Elliot did go a little more red as the two girls spoke about him, using the word 'she' instead of 'he'. He was still rather suprised that Marcia or Marissa hadn't figured that out. "Are you coming in?", he asked the cheer captain as he brushed passed her and stepped into the room Elise's voice had come from.

"So I guess she prefers havin' maids tah the other one's farm animals," says Orphea.
