[ For a first few minutes of footage, it seems a neatly groomed Rosiel's discovered the camera lens as an impromptu mirror, using it to... fuss nervously over the lace collar of an over-complicated coat. Finally - ]

Ma... ma? Mama. Mommma. Mother. Yes. Yes, that. A mother. Why, we're seeking a mother for hire -

[ The bit of lace is set two millimeters to the left - then three back to the right - left - right - left- right - ]

...for a little boy: frail, somewhat deluded, hardly devout, perhaps - if you're blind - handsome. A charming child.

[ ...left... right... is that a speck of dust on his shoulder, why, even its shadow is removed immediately - left - right - ]

You needn't love children, only... do please don't smother him with the finer set of pillows. Candidacies open to all, interviews to be held, payment in full, references unnecessary, bribery... appreciated? As gestures go -

[ ...and left, right back in its original position. ]

...there. How does it look?


[ ooc: ...Justin would be the little boy in question, just. Just in case you were wondering. ]

None of those are okay! Tell me where he is. I will come, and then you won't have to worry about it.

[shall_yield_us]

A name might recommend you. Perhaps.

[deadly_legacy]

I'm Euphie. That's hardly important right now! He could be hurt! [or starving or roaming or suffocated by cheap pillows.]

[shall_yield_us]

...and?

[deadly_legacy]

Don't you care?

[shall_yield_us]

No. I don't think - no. I don't suppose I do.

[deadly_legacy]

If you don't care then you can tell me where he is so I can make sure he's safe. ...Please.

[shall_yield_us]

He'll while until he has his mother. And he'll while yet after. I've forbidden the alternative.

[deadly_legacy]

You can't just wait. A child needs constant love and attention. [Probably. Again, what does she know of this?]

[shall_yield_us]

A mother. Yes.

[deadly_legacy]

What if you don't find one?

[shall_yield_us]

...failure is for lesser creatures.

[deadly_legacy]

Then... I wish to apply. [Apply for motherhood of someone. What is this even?]
