Maid RPG? - Actual RP Thread

Okay, here's the initial RP, cut and pasted from the Discussion thread.

The master, Roderich, was successfully woken up by Lili (worth 4 favor). Breakfast was served promptly afterwards by Victoria (worth 6 favor). It is now mid-morning, and the master and his maids are settling in for the daily routine, little knowing that starting shortly, it won't matter at all...

The front door opens.

Victoria Plaisance set to bringing the master the book he preferred to read - a historical novel based around the ancient Homerian epic The Illiad. The study in which it was kept was rather expansive, and she looked around to where one of the other maids had put it when the master had finished with it previously.

Skill check roll required for this, or something?

No. Trust me, skill checks will be needed soon, but anyone can do that.

Good ta know. Also, is it bad how I started playing her?

Victoria passsed her spot check and caught sight of the book, perched on top of the highest shelf in the room.

"Typical," she grumbled.

Victoria looked around for a stepladder, failed to find one, and simply decided to climb up to within reach of the book, using the gaps between the shelf edges and the books as footholds.

Is it always this hard to start?

Lili went out to do her chores. And checked her schedule (don't know if maids have schedules, especially not during Medieval times, but let's just go with it) to see what she was supposed to do for the day. First she was supposed to clean the master's piano room, then she was free until lunch, where she'd help cook and then do the dishes.

She walked into the piano room and marveled at the paintings. Upon seeing one that resembled her beloved big brother, she felt a small sting in her heart. Today was his birthday. She sighed and started dusting.

Feliks had already started working, the first thing to do was to clean the master's bedroom. She was happily whistling to to herself as she dusted one of the dressers. Well, ok. In reality, he was whistling to himself, due to the fact that he was actually crossdressing, but Feliks was still whistling and dusting a dresser regardless.

Time passes.

As Feliks is cleaning the master's bedroom, a murderer suddenly bursts through the door.

Feliks screams/yells (pick whichever is more in character), attracting the attention of the other maids, although they won't reach you for another... 2 rounds.

The murderer has straight 3s for stats, and 10 Spirit. As a reminder, Feliks has Athletics 3, Affection 0, Skill 2, Cunning 2, Luck 2, and Will 1; he/she/whatever also has the Weapon From Nowhere maid power, worth one free attack on this guy.

How does Feliks respond to this?

Upon hearing the scream, Victoria lost her footing, only just landing on her feet.

That sounded like Feliks. Why would she be screaming like that? She decided to simply go and look for herself, reasoning that whatever would cause a fellow maid to scream was more important than one little book.

Feliks screams. He She wonders where this guy came from, but decides that whoever he is, he's obviously up to no good, so he she takes out his her Kitchen Knife (using the Weapon From Nowhere power) trying to catch him off guard and tries to attack him.

Athletics roll? Also, if I ever wind up getting too out of character, feel free to tell me...I have I distinct feeling I'm already doing that, though.

Yes, all combat using weapons uses Athletics, although I'm thinking of making guns an exception to that.

Okay, so, Weapon from Nowhere's free roll give you a result of... 12, vs the murderer's result of 0, due to the effects of Weapon from Nowhere; if you've pass elementary school math, you know that 10 minus 12 is negative 2.  So the murderer is KO'ed.

Once the other maids (and the master) get there, you guys need to figure out what to do with him.  Also, Feliks gets... 4 Favor.

Overall, not a bad result, I would say. But now that the fun part is over, I'm curious how you guys deal with the aftermath...

Also, this means it's time to figure out a new random event...

Victoria rushed into the room, noticing the TKO'd man almost instantly.

"Whoa! Where'd he come from?" She looked over to Feliks. "Any clues, Feliks?"

Slightly panicked, Feliks talks to Vitoria. "I"m not sure...I was just minding my own business, cleaning the room and stuff, then this guy like burst through the door..."

"Burst through the door?" She wrinkled her nose as she absorbed this. "But that could mean..."

She started and turned towards the door, hands raised as if to strike someone. "There's no way just one guy would bother sneaking in to screw around in here. He'd get lost too easily. That means he came in here knowing what the mansion is set up, and that means this was planned."

Her head turned towards Feliks again, a determined look on her face. "C'mon! The master could be a target for these guys! Maids to the rescue!"

Still slightly panicked, but starting to calm down. "Ok, Victoria...But what if they're, whoever "they" are, like, planning for us to go check on the master, and are going to sneak attack us when we leave this room?"

Victoria stopped.

"Well, if they were planning to take us out, then wouldn't you expect for them to ambush you and then jump me while I came running?"

She shrugged. "'Sides, the master's more important than us right nw. Us together can take anyone they throw at us!" She grinned, as if excited to be fighting for her life. Maybe I can repay the master this way...

Feliks sighed. "I guess you have a point. We should go check on the master..."

He She looked over at the unconscious person on the floor. "...But, like, what should we do with that guy?"

Victoria seemed to notice the floored attacker properly for the first time.

"Well, I'd say 'see if we can get something out of him', but we haven't got time for that," she said impatiently. "Tie him up proper and we'll check on him late- good god, what did you hit him with? He's oozing red stuff from his chest..."

"...Uhh...A knife from the kitchen?"

She looked oddly at Feliks. "Damn, girl, remind me not to startle you."

She rose from kneeling to examine the attacker and cast her eyes around for a suitable rope-like item. Seizing a length of curtain cord, she quickly and efficiently tied the rope around his hands, rolling the unconcious man onto his back, so that even if he awoke, all he could do was flop around ineffectually.

"Right. We'll deal with him later. Now come on, we've gotta go save the master!" Running towards the door, she shot back at Feliks over her shoulder. "You still got the knife?"

"Yeah, I still have it." He She fallows Victoria to the door.

"Good. Cover me!"

Victoria began running. Around this time, the master should be in the main dining hall...

She grinned as she ran. This was more like the life of a maid that she'd imagined.

Giggity-giggity?

Oh, I'm liking where you guys are taking this...

Lili ran into the room. Stupid gigantic mansion causing it to take ten whole minutes for her to come... When she (panting heavily due to the distance she had to run) came into the room, she gasped. There was a tied up, bleeding man there! Startled, she slowly moved towards him, hands on her small rifle just in case. When she saw his face, she gasped again and ran towards him.

"Big... brother!?"

I can play him as an NPC if that's okay? In case you wonder, in Hetalia, he WAS a mercenary for a while if you understand what I mean. He could have escaped and taken a job as a mercenary to support himself.

Go ahead. I think I'll be revealing a little tidbit on the current situation in the discussion thread, Valve Commentary-style.

"B-big brother! Are you okay!? Speak to me!" she half yelled, half whimpered, trying to wake him up. He opened his eyes, which widened.

"Lili!? What are you doing here!? Or am I just hallucinating?" he asked. Lili hugged him, getting blood on her dress in the progress.

"It's me. I got a job here after you were thrown into jail. I'm so glad to see you! But what are YOU doing here?" she asked.

"I escaped and got a job as a mercenary. Me and another one was ordered to kill the master of this house, but I don't know why. I was sent here to distract eventual guards while my partner finished the job."

(I suppose getting blood on her dress gives her penalties, since you mentioned that you get a penalty if the uniform gets dirty? But I don't care that much about that, since I'm The Roleplayer.)
