116. Made [action/written]

[corrinesbell]

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 he was just going to head out for a walk... only to find Sheena at his door. That outfit... he recalls it well. Paru got him in a number like that, only it was far skimpier. And his female self actually took it home...]

... uh, Sheena?

[corrinesbell]

[sets the bucket and broom down to bow at the waist. After three or four houses and no coat between them, she's looking a little cold.]

Good morning Master Sokka.

[markofthewise]

[So he notices. That kind of outfit isn't great for this kind of weather. But then he also notices the whole "Master Sokka" thing.]

Mister Sokka. Different vowel. [Or something.] Are you okay?

[corrinesbell]

Mister Sokka. Please accept my apology.

[hasn't stood up yet.]

[markofthewise]

Uh yeah, don't worry about it. [What.] Uh, maybe you should just come in.

[corrinesbell]

[a nod, and she stands and heads into the house to get right to cleaning.]

[markofthewise]

[Which he hasn't quite worked out yet.]


Uh, can I get you anything?

[corrinesbell]

I'm sure I brought enough supplies, sir.

[markofthewise]

... for what, exactly?

[corrinesbell]

For cleaning, of course.

[markofthewise]

... why?

[corrinesbell]

With all due respect, sir, that's what you hired me for.

[markofthewise]

I really don't remember hiring you, Sheena. If this is about me helping you out before, don't worry about it!

[corrinesbell]

I've been cleaning for you for almost five months.

[markofthewise]

[Sokka looks at his house, which is about as clean as you'd expect from a house with five teenagers and two pets.]

Yeeeeeah, no. In fact, I'm pretty sure this is only your second time ever being here.

[corrinesbell]

If I've been unsatisfactory, Mister Sokka, and you feel that is a reason to terminate my services...

[markofthewise]

[He would just like to let her go, but she's cold and apparently the Malnosso haven't left her alone since turning her into a kid. Uh, maybe he can just try to make this easy for her. Cleaning up the whole house is demeaning and would no doubt earn some nasty glares when she's back to normal. So the solution?]

I was just thinking, the cleaning up can wait. Maybe you could get a early start on dinner.

[corrinesbell]

...Excuse me? I must have misheard you. ...Unless Master Wilder told you I'm to be cooking here, now.

[markofthewise]

[Oh man, he totally got this wrong. Now what?]

Err, I meant, only if you want to. You don't have to. [Smooth, Sokka. Smooth.]

[corrinesbell]

Forgive me, but I don't understand...what exactly is going on.

[markofthewise]

[Uh...]

How about you just sit down! Take a load of. Maybe have some tea. I mean, since you look cold. That outfit really isn't winter appropriate.

[corrinesbell]

If you'd like tea I can prepare some for you.

[markofthewise]

Yeah. That? Let's do that. Make some for yourself too. Because uh... [Excuse, excuse, excuse...] I hate drinking alone. And Momo doesn't like tea.

[A nearby lemur tilts his head at Sokka.]

[corrinesbell]

Right away, sir.

[markofthewise]

[He sits down at the table and just... watches.]

... so, Sheena. When did you become a maid?
