[ 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. ]

I don't think you can hire mothers.

That is you can hire people who are mothers for tasks, but I don't think the task can actually be mothering or if it is then it goes by different terms.

Nice coat.

[He needs to take the rest of Rosiel and his crazy in slowly.]

Is i -

[shall_yield_us]

You can't have it.

[shall_yield_us]

A rose by any other name, as long as it pricks the right finger...?

[sympathyforme]

No worries. We don't wear the same size.

[deadly_legacy]

That doesn't...

Why would you want it to prick your finger?

Is there a child in need of a home?

[shall_yield_us]

Yes, you were always... big-boned.

[shall_yield_us]

Oh, they're all someone's children. And of course you needn't be a Gaia, or an Isis, or in any way fair to handle the task. See? You're covered in part and in sum.

[Processing... Processing...]

I'm not really offering for the position, but there is an orphanage here or a youth center not that it's the same. [Not that she knows much about having a mother in the first place.]

[sympathyforme]

I believe it's called 'muscles'. It wouldn't work for you, so don't worry.

[shall_yield_us]

You'll send a poor, precious boy to an orphanage? How cold-hearted. Perfectly cruel. Of course I'll consider it, but that is cruel.

[shall_yield_us]

Oh, see to a garden somewhere.

[sympathyforme]

They don't keep anything that interests me behind their gates here.

[deadly_legacy]

Well, I hope it is a very nice orphanage. [Okay, she doesn't actually know for sure, but now she feels bad.]

How old is he?

[shall_yield_us]

...I believe of such an age that... he can see to his own private matters in the bathroom?

[shall_yield_us]

Confirmation pending.

[shall_yield_us]

I shed each day another tear for your woe.

[sympathyforme]

Funny. Here I laugh at yours.

[shall_yield_us]

May my chrysanthemums soil your hand and rot away the flesh.

[deadly_legacy]

...

Is he with you now? [Because that seems like a bad situation.]

[shall_yield_us]

Am I to keep track of where he's locked?

[sympathyforme]

I will leave the rotting to those who can't help but.

[shall_yield_us]

To the Messiah's cadaver, then.
