Location Maison d’Violette 10.00hrs. [hr] [@VitaVitaAR] This was one of the most emotive scale demons she had ever seen. Perhaps that wasn’t too unsurprising, considering the circumstances that they had met. “Patience, Eliz.” Livia frowned, resting her chin on her hand as the vehicle drove up to the front of the maison. “If my intel is right, and it always is, you’ll get to have your bloodbath sooner rather than later. I must stress though,” Livia would push open the door to the vehicle as it pulled to a stop, getting out ahead of the demon. “You will behave yourself or I will terminate our contract. I do not tolerate any disobedience and I can not have a liability.” She’d say, holding out a hand to the demon to help her out of the vehicle. “Even potential liabilities as charming as you.” Once the demon had disembarked from the vehicle, Livia would walk the short distance up to the front of the Maison, the lush, well kept grass a shade of vibrant, healthy green while several trees lined the area in front of the building, perfectly pruned and well kept by the maids excellent hands. She’d push open the door and walk inside… [hr] [@Pyromania99][@Click This][@AzureKnight][@VitaVitaAR] The Maison was still a flurry of activity even as they spotted Lady Fiore’s vehicle rolling up in front of the Maison. Several maids had been selected to greet her, standing on either side of the plush, long carpet that led to the main staircase, but a few were scrambling to get everything prepared. Mari, pocket watch in hand grumbled lightly as she’d glance between the maids, a few of her notes on their new demon friend and the door. Rosanna simply stood quietly, glancing in Lucrecia’s direction. “...I do believe you’ve spilled the proverbial herbs all over the table.” “Well, they’ll be finding out in roughly two minutes anyways.” Mariarca responded with a sigh. “Has Nynette prepared the meeting room and refreshments?” “A little late to be asking about that, isn’t it? But as far as I am aware, yes.” “I would expect nothing less from the first Maid. Then everything should be in order then-oh, Akantha.” “Ah-Oh goodness sorry, pardon me…! I was a bit lost.” Akantha had been given a room with the rest of the trainee maids for now and was allowed to stay until they figured out what to do with her. They weren’t her legal guardians, after all, and Mari was already looking into her family. Viatrix had observed her sense she had returned from Cogsfell, but the little girl seemed mostly fine, aside from insomnia and nightmares and she refused to sleep alone. “Polina is over there, if you’re looking for her.” Mari pointed her in the direction of the farisian maid. “But keep it down, the Maison’s Patron and owner Lady Fiore shall be arriving-” The door to the Maison opened, the black haired woman took a moment to allow the demon following her entryway before closing the door behind the two of them. “...now.” Akantha froze as the lines of Maids stood at attention, before quietly bowing to Lady Fiore as she entered. Akantha froze in place nearly in the middle of the carpet before scurrying off near Polina, holding her leg with some uncertainty. Livia walked down the aisle, saying not a word, merely observing the maids present with a cool glare as she made her way to the staircase at the other end of the rug. Mariarca handed her the folder of papers as Rosanna merely offered a nod of acknowledgement before walking off. Livia would take a moment to go through the folder before sighing. “First of all…I am glad to see everyone of you in good health.” She’d greet the maids. “I heard there was some trouble in cogsfell. For those of you who took part in the operation, you have my gratitude.” Quite a practiced speech, it seemed. “I sadly do not have time to hang around nor do I wish to involve myself too much in your day to day functions. Mariarca and the administration does that well enough…however.” She turned her attention to Elizstrazia. “As you have likely noticed, we have ourselves a new resident and a new member of our organization. She might be a demon, but you [i]will[/i] treat her no different as any other maid. And you, Elizstrazia, will give them the respect they deserve as your senior members. I do hope, I have made myself clear on that.” With a mildly disinterested huff, Livia would fold the papers under her arm as she turned to Mariarca. “Mariarca, I shall be in the eastern sitting room. I expect those who took part in the Cogsfell forward operation to meet me there in an hour. Our new demon friend as well.” She turned back to the demon. “Until then…hm…actually.” She glanced towards Polina. A small smile seemed to form on her lips. “Maid Polina. Maid Lucrecia. Show this one around the Maison would you? Introduce her to Myrilla and Viatrix.” “Of course, my lady. I shall make preparations. Is there anything specific you need?” Mariarca replied. “I see one of our maids assigned to the greeting duty is not present..." Livia frowned. "Do give her a good reprimanding for me. Otherwise, I’ll have Nynette see to it if I need anything else. Focus on your usual duties for the moment.” “Very well. I will inform miss Katherine that she is to be punished for her absence. The rest of you, get back to work. Polina and Lucrecia I expect you to handle this demon flawlessly. Give her a full tour of the Maison and make sure she does not cause trouble. I'll be preparing her work unfiform. I'll send word once its finished.” [hr] [@Pyromania99] In another part of the manor, a workshop reserved for more practically inclined maids and one specifically designed to help a certain Firbolg with her doll creation, sat the firbolg in question. She had been working the night away, seeing to repair her adorable little dolls. This meant…well, she was currently sleeping away the morning hours and completely missing the greeting and meeting of Lady Fiore in the entryway. This, of course, was not something the maids would tolerate. Upon not seeing the Firbolg there, Mariarca hastily tasked a certain pink haired maid with finding her and bringing her to the foyer for reprimand. Lyssa pushed open the door to the room, quietly observing the plethora of dolls frantically working to repair the other dolls…and Katherine herself? Face first on a desk, snoozing away. Grinning impishly, Lyssa quietly approached. [I]SMACK[/i] The hardest smack the maid could deliver was slammed right on Katherine’s ass. “Kitty needs to wake up before Mariarca fries you, ahah!” She’d giggle, giving Katherine’s butt another playful smack for good measure.
