[ Liam's stern face appears on the line and after a brief sigh, and a push of his forefinger against the bridge of his glasses, he speaks. ]

There's no help for it. I'm afraid I must request help of a particularly delicate nature. Discreetness is of course required. For those interested, please respond to my number, personally.

Thank-you

As for the job itself, well... prior experience in the cleaning business, would be most beneficial.

[ Liam hung up quickly and pressed his forehead against the nearby wall. After months of working for Karl, he still hadn't managed to make a dent in the mess some four or five vampires can make in a days time. And that spoke of nothing about Diva! If Vincent was bad, he had nothing on Diva. Fluff strewn everywhere... ]

((ooc: aka, Liam's been housekeeping for Karl/Solomon/Nathan/Diva/Marishka and anyone else who is a common resident of Diva's Mansion and he's getting frustrated and looking for a maid to help get ahead of the mess. His perfectionist attitude won't allow things to stay in such unkempt conditions!))

I don't know much about cleaning, so I'm afraid I couldn't be of help. But I did want to visit you. We haven't really done anything in a while, have we?

There's a job that's too much for you to handle?

[ he flusters ] My apologies! Would you care to meet up sometime for tea?

[ if he recalled correctly, Ken seemed to have a fondness for the past time. And he'll just... have to force himself to leave work for a bit. That shouldn't be a big deal... right? ]

Tea would be nice. How and when would it be most convenient for you? You sound really busy....

[ he frowns ]

I've been given disposition to hire extra help. I'll, of course, be managing the work. [ he shall not admit defeat! ~~quite yet~~ ]

[ There's a Chevalier leaning against the doorframe, a glass of 'wine' dangling precariously from his fingers. CREEP! Where did he come from?! ]

Problems, monsieur Lunettes?

It sounds like you have some important work, there.

But I think I have my hands full already.

No! That's... [ he draws in a breath and readjusts his glasses once again ] I'm allowed an afternoon off a week. This Thursday perhaps?

[ and he'll just actually take that afternoon off. With luck, the extra help will already be in place to help lighten the work load. ]

If that's okay, then yes. Thursday would work well for me.

...Since I don't work. [He's also eleven.]

[ he eeps! ]

M-Master Karl! [ DON'T SNEAK UP ON HIM LIKE THAT!!!! He's going to die of a heart attack one of these days! ] There's nothing wrong!

[ and this is why he required discreetness. He's, for the most part, been reduced to picking up after adult children. Oh how low the great Liam has sunk! ]

I couldn't ask it of you; you've been more then enough help already. [ considering he's put Elliot's full health into Leo's capable hands. Do not disappoint him! ]

[ fdajkl he didn't want Ken to feel bad! ] That's... there's no need to work at your age! You have classes, do you not?

[ he's used to spending time with children. Just look at Break -- er, Oz and Elliot. Adults, technically, but not by much. ]

[ Such a skittish bunny. Diva probably adores it. ]

Oh?

Then what's all this about delicacy and discretion?

[ she is not allowed to touch his bunny! ]

I was simply looking to hire an extra maid. With the added guests in the house, I deemed it a wise use of resources. [ please, please, please don't tell him no! ]

Yes. I got to the school. And I do a lot of research in the library. But it's still easier to work around my schedule.

[He doesn't feel bad, Liam! It's okay!]

You won't be skipping any, I hope. [ because an education is an education is an education! There's always dinner. ]

[ But Diva doesn't ask permission! ]

Oh. A maid. [ Is that all? Of course a maid would be useful. Hire away. ] Here I thought you required assistance in disposing a corpse.

Edited 2012-10-22 02:01 (UTC)

[ the March Hare will not stand for this!!! ]

Why would I need assistance for that? [ he's almost afraid to ask but, honestly. Just because candlesticks lying around everywhere... ]

No, that's not my intention. Classes are.... Well, with people coming and going all the time, things aren't stable.

[ he sobers up immediately ] That must make it difficult to learn anything of consequence. If you should need help with your studies or research, I would be more then willing to lend a hand.

[ it's always the hardest on the kids. Especially the ones that never act like kids, he's noticed. ]

[ He'll learn to like it~ ]

Well, in some circles, cleaning business is code for body-disposal. Naturally I was curious. [ ~Jack be nimble, Jack be quick~ ~~Those candlesticks serve other purposes~~~ ]

[ nope, never. ain't going to happen. He'll die first! ]

[ fdjsklald ] That's not what I meant!

[ ... and please have a care. Liam has to clean and polish those candlesticks! ]

It is a little hard, but I manage with using the library together with the classes. I do thank you, though. When I do run across something I need help with, I'll remember that, Liam-san.

[Yeah, Ken's still learning how to be a proper child.]

[ Dying at Diva's hands. What a beautiful finale. Karl envies you. ]

There's nothing to be uneasy about. We all endure the hassle of corpse-disposal every once in a while. It's part of life.

[ They're in far better shape than the bedsheets :| ]

Have I?

[ He isn't sure what he's done for Liam here, if anything at all. ]
