TEST DRIVE MEME

HOW IT WORKS:

► STEP 1 | Post a comment with a character that's not in HH as if they're already in the setting; alternative version, post character who is in HH. Scenarios if you need 'em!
► STEP 2 | Tag around and get a feel for your characters, whether you're just voice testing or planning to actually app them in!
► STEP 3 | Post this all over your plurk and get people to join in on this jolly good fun. Don't forget: it's mandatory.

[Huh? ... Natsuru turns to glance at the house again, and then back to Excella. What's she talking about?]

... Is something wrong?

[It's just a house like any other on the street, isn't it?]

[ex_doses270]

[ It certainly is. And that's terrible. ]

This - [ a flourish towards the house ] - is unacceptable.

[thirdbeauty]

... What's so bad about it? It's just a house.

[She feels like she's missing something here, but she has no idea what.]

[ex_doses270]

A commoner's house. I require something much better than this.

[thirdbeauty]

Well... yeah, they all start out like that. But people can make renovations and stuff, so...

[Wait a second...]

H-hold on... you're...?! Y-you mean we're...?!

[ex_doses270]

If you are attempting to say 'living together', no, we are not.

[ She flicks her hand again, as if dismissing Natsuru. ]

Find me something better.

[thirdbeauty]

[Why is it her job to find something?! Not that Natsuru's going to actually complain about that, nope. This woman is pretty imposing and Natsuru pretty much always does what she's told to anyway.]

But that's... um...

I mean... all the houses are like this. I don't even think there are hotels here...

[There are, but even if Natsuru knew about them, it's not like Excella would get much use out of them with the $500 she has to her name in this place.]

[ex_doses270]

[ You're a maid, right? Do maid things! ]

It is a poor substitute for a town, then, if they do not even have hotels. There must be somewhere better than this. Surely the landlord, if he is so powerful, would not live in one of these as well?

[thirdbeauty]

[She's not her maid! ... Yet? She's certainly doing a poor job of acting like she's not. Now that she's found out they're assigned to the same house, she's gotten a little too invested in helping her.]

Well... no, his house is different.

But no one's ever seen inside it. All the windows are dark, and if you try to go to the door, you just... wake up in front of your-... er, the house you've been assigned to.

It's pretty hard to find, too... it seems like he really doesn't want anyone bothering him.

[She's never been herself, but she's heard stories.]

[ex_doses270]

[ She sniffs again. That's a discouraging thought, but nothing that can't be explained. No such thing as magic, Natsuru. Next you'll be saying people can change genders with bracelets! ]

Evidently. [ She exhales, sharply disappointed. ] Very well. Then I suppose this must do for now.

[thirdbeauty]

[That would be silly and ridiculous, wouldn't it?]

Um... i-if you want, I could show you inside... ah, Miss...?

[She's looking for a name here. And neglecting to mention they're supposed to be "married". Which is probably the wisest decision she's made in this whole conversation.]

[ex_doses270]

Gionne. Excella Gionne.

[ Very sharp. She might survive yet. ]

[thirdbeauty]

[Somehow, Natsuru gets the feeling that a first-name basis will not go over well with this woman.]

Miss Gionne... I'm Natsuru Senou. Pleased to meet you...

[Hands folded in her lap, she gives the other woman a polite bow.]

Ah... considering the circumstances and all.

[ex_doses270]

[ Right again. She doesn't return the gesture. It is a pleasure to meet her, isn't it? ]

Yes. [ She gives the house another look. When Albert gets here, she'll be sure to have the Landlord shot. ] Very well. Let us see.

[ She strides inside, heels clicking on the concrete. ]

[thirdbeauty]

Ah! R-right...

[The sound of heels on concrete is very different when it's less a confident stride and more a scurry to catch up. After the disdain Excella had shown for the house, Natsuru didn't expect her to be in any hurry to see inside, but here they are. And she might as well show her around... for what it's worth.

It really isn't much, though. That much is obvious from the foyer.]

The uh... living room, dining room and kitchen are all over there. And the... bedrooms are that way...

[She tries not to blush at that thought, but... well. She already has two "daughters", and if Excella is her new "spouse", then...]

Ah... there's an office, too, but we haven't really used it much.
