I'm going to the store today. Is there anything I should bring anyone?

[It's a ~~beautiful day in the neighborhood~~ cold day in Luceti.

Sheena got up this morning - no longer small, or even remembering that she had been small - and did all of her usual tasks in the house. And now she's out and about, ready to do all the other houses she usually does.

So if you live (permanently or temporarily) in houses 6, 8, 12, 19, 23, 42, 44, 49, or 56, Sheena is coming to clean as she does every other day, and has done since offering her services to each of you. Others may find her at the grocery store, or on the street, carrying a bucket of supplies and a broom but wearing no coat]

[[ooc: The AU that didn't live during the event itself - Sheena has been Zelos' personal maid at home for many years. She believes he gave her permission to work for other people here too as long as she was home on time to make dinner; she's not much of her usual self in terms of outward personality either, being all subservient and polite ~~to most people~~ now.

And she's always in that maid outfit.]]

Well, I guess to be more specific, take the night off. Everything looks fine to me.

[Since the house has been colder than usual, Raine's been wearing a sweater while in the house. Currently though, she's making tea in the kitchen, when she hears the voices in the foyer. So she walks toward them to see who's there.

... And then she sees Sheena, at least fully grown again. But that outfit... it just leads to a '?' hanging above her head.]

...The whole night?

You heard me.

Thank you for your concern, sir. Is there a room you would like me to start with?

[and then Raine comes out of the kitchen and Sheena's setting down her supplies to bow all over again]

Good afternoon, Professor Sage.

Thank you very much, Master Zelos. ...I will...clean the kitchen before then.

...I suppose you can begin here in the foyer and the dining room. [The least used and most used areas, yes. He glances over at Raine, briefly allowing a pained expression.]

... Good afternoon, Sheena. [Raine manages to keep the confusion out of her voice, even if that '?' takes a little longer to fade. Albert gets a brief commiserating look in return when the other woman stops looking.] Would you like to borrow a sweater? It wouldn't do for you to catch a cold.

I shouldn't, but thank you very much for the offer.

[and now, to the dining room.]

[If Albert had been affected by the thought bubbles, there would be a "..." floating above his head right now. He follows after Sheena, so they are all inside the dining room -- or on the edges of it.] Have you been to others' houses today, Sheena?

If you should change your mind, the offer isn't being retracted. [She is curious to know the response to Albert's question, the bubble changing to reflect a few possible candidates. Perhaps that would be more insight onto this... different side to Sheena. At least it explained why she hadn't been able to find her as a small child earlier.]

Of course, sir. It's unfortunate that your house is the last of the day. But Master Yuan and Master Lowell both asked me not to work today, so I'm...early.

[she starts, as always, with dusting, then polishing. By the end of the day she's usually not this...off. But this is a maid trapped in the body of a ninja, and one that's not used to doing maid sorts of things.]

[...The last house of the day. And she had visited at least Yuan and Yuri today. In that getup.

...And if she was anything like the maids around the manor...]

I imagine you haven't eaten yet, then.

Don't worry about it, I like cleaning from time to time, I'll get it.

[what. He wants to clean?]

That would hardly be...are you feeling well, sir?

[Duo blinks at Sheena as her mouth goes dry.] Oh um... musta been while I was kidnapped...

[Duo walks the rest of the way down the stairs and stares at Sheena. There's practically a light bulb over his head when he finally figures out why she looks familiar.] Holy shit! Since when are you a maid?

Since you're early, it's acceptable for you to eat something here. Especially since the walk back to your house will be a long one.

[Though it might be better to let Albert take point in this. Adjusting to Sheena as a maid required... completely different handling from her as a child. At least then Raine knew more of what she was dealing with. Her bubble floats with a question mark over Zelos's face since... well, who else would have had a maid?]

I feel spiffy, actually.

It's just that...you don't clean.

I eat once Master Wilder has finished dinner.

[she sees Raine's thoughts but politeness dictates she not acknowledge them directly.]

...Since I was a child.

Heh, well, always a first time for something, right?

...Of course, Master Wilder.

[oops. It comes out by default.]

[He'll let it slide.]

Sure, sure. So, you take it easy now, you hear?

Are you sure you won't be needing anything? Even later?
