"Hey it's no problem, considering the situation a good laugh can't hurt anything eh?" says Junko with a smile. "Yeah I think so too, another pair of hands can't be a bad thing, and it's nice we get a bit of good luck. And okay, I'm pretty glad I didn't get second shift either, there are zombies that think faster then me fresh outta bed." she laughs a bit. "If ya need a replacement clock I could see if I could whip something up for ya."

F:41 S:0/30"Nya I may have to take you up on the offer," Tammy reluctantly says. "I'd prefer to go to town during the day to buy a new one, but we really should stick together with the current situation nya. Either way, I'd like to replace it before Master Dan gets back. Nya you know how he can be. The little mistakes we make tend to irritate him more than the big screw-ups."
TMINE:(T=F:17,S:0/10);(J=F:6,S:4/20)"Okay cool. And don't worry I'll just make a regular alarm clock and not try anything fancy. I've learned my lesson, although technically I'd say the gun powder alarm was a success, it woke everyone up. In a five mile radius no less." says Junko. "And yeah I know. He doesn't get as annoyed about small explosions as late meals. Kinda lucky for me really."
F:41 S:0/30"Nya I guess so," Tammy says before thinking, A five-mile radius is a small explosion? I'd hate to think what a big explosion would be to her.
"Nya I'd appreciate that, thanks," Tammy says regarding the clock. "I don't know if my clock will have any salvageable parts, nya but you're welcome to check it out whenever you're ready for it."
TMINE:(T=F:17,S:0/10);(J=F:6,S:4/20)"Really? I guess fire and explosions aren't normal around Spyhold Manor then," Marnie considered aloud, frowning out of slight confusion. It didn't take long for her to perk up again though, "But now that I'm here, hopefully I can help make things a little better. Helping Mr. D.. Mr. Jobesom's maids is like helping Mr. Jobesom himself! So what should I know about the other maids? I don't want to step on any toes.."
Avatar from: http://x0whitelily0x.livejournal.com/5953.html N: 5 F, 0/40 SKyla smirked. "Don't let Junko fix things for you. Or upgrade them." She said. "The gunpowder-fueled alarm clock was bad enough."
Call me a devil... it just means I'll have to use my hellish powers to get you to listen! F:36 S:0/20"Gunpowder-fueled alarm clock? Wouldn't there be much better things to power your clock than that?" Marnie repeated, clearly perplexed by the notion of Junko's inventions. Very weird. But there was a catgirl maid too so it wasn't totally out of the question. So she moved to her next question, "So what about the head maid?"
Avatar from: http://x0whitelily0x.livejournal.com/5953.html N: 5 F, 0/40 S"You mean Hitsugi? Out of all of us, I'd say she's the one who's reacted the worst to the situation," Kyla says. "It's probably best not to get on her bad side, especially since she's in charge while Mr. Jobsem is away. Don't worry about her expression - most of us have learned to tell one scowl from another."
Call me a devil... it just means I'll have to use my hellish powers to get you to listen! F:36 S:0/20"Always scowling? So that means that besides us, Mr. Jobsem's maids... are a mad scientist, a catgirl and a girl with a perpetually foul expression?" Marnie raised an eyebrow out of consideration, before once again grinning, "It sounds like I'll fit in just fine around here!"
Avatar from: http://x0whitelily0x.livejournal.com/5953.html N: 5 F, 0/40 S"Speaking of which..." Kyla says, leaning in closer to Marnie. "There's this oddly familiar scent coming from you..."
Call me a devil... it just means I'll have to use my hellish powers to get you to listen! F:36 S:0/20"Nya?!" Tammy gulps at the last statement Junko made. Now she knows what they're talking about. It took everyone in the Manor all day to be able to hear again after that 'alarm', not to mention having garnered some complaints from the residential area just outside of town. What am I getting myself into? she asks herself. She may have pledged no gunpowder this time, but who knows what she'll try in its place?
"Nya n-now that I think of it, I probably s-should just ask Hitsugi i-if I can go to town f-for a clock. Th-thanks anyway, though." Tammy nervously says, thinking, At least this way, the very worst that can happen would be my request being denied. "Nya I’ll just have to see if Kyla can wake me in the meantime."
TMINE:(T=F:17,S:0/10);(J=F:6,S:4/20)Marnie stiffened at Kyla's statement of familiarity, uncertain why she'd at all cause that sort of reaction. Was this maid also a shapeshifting creature with heightened senses? She had to avoid being found out too quickly. If they knew she was actually a fox then perhaps they'd not be quite so welcoming of her. Tammy was no problem apparently, but allowing a canine to work for them as well seemed a bit more iffy.
"Whatever do you mean? I don't think we've met before," Marnie hedged.
Avatar from: http://x0whitelily0x.livejournal.com/5953.html N: 5 F, 0/40 S"No, but there's something about you..." Kyla said. "Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm a vampire."
Call me a devil... it just means I'll have to use my hellish powers to get you to listen! F:36 S:0/20"A... vampire..." Marnie blinked again in total surprise, "Wait, do vampires have heightened sense of smell? I've never heard of that phenomenon, but then I've never met one until this moment. But there's nothing weird about me.. just a perfectly.. normal.. girl here.. heh."
Avatar from: http://x0whitelily0x.livejournal.com/5953.html N: 5 F, 0/40 S"Well, yeah. Pretty much all our senses are at least somewhat better," Kyla said. "Well, except for sight, in my case," she added, waving a hand in front of her own face.
"Didn't you just say you'd fit right in here? I don't think you could say that if you were completely ordinary."
Call me a devil... it just means I'll have to use my hellish powers to get you to listen! F:36 S:0/20Junko looks a little disappointed, "Really? I already said I wasn't going to try anything fancy....." she suddenly gets a thoughtful look. "Ohhhhhhhhh I see.....Nice." she smirks and snickers a little, "I get ya Tammy, no problem. Really though I am capable of pattern recognition, not everything I've tried has been a disaster."

F:41 S:0/30"I did not know that," Marnie noted, nodding very slowly as she took the new information into account. It also allowed her time to try and think of some more appropriate response to the issue of her contradictory statements. Just how to make them seem less glaringly in opposition to one another took some effort, but at last she thought of something that seemed plausible.
"Oh, I just meant that I can fit in as the cute, normal sidekick girl! You know, so the other maids can shake their head when I do something silly and go on about 'you wacky humans'... things like that," Marnie offered, grinning hopefully.
Avatar from: http://x0whitelily0x.livejournal.com/5953.html N: 5 F, 0/40 S"Nya what's that for?" Tammy says upon noticing Junko's 'nice' comment and smirk. "Kyla and I are roommates, that's all. Nya roommates have to bond with each other, whether they like..." She stops and facepalms when she realizes what she just said. "Ugh. That Came Out Wrong nya."
"I'm sure you're right, Junko." Tammy then says about not everything having been a disaster. "Nya we all learn from our mistakes and become stronger as a result, individually and as a team." Then she adds, "It's just that right now, in our present situation, we really can't afford any risks to add to the chaos. Nya you understand what I'm saying, don't you?"
TMINE:(T=F:17,S:0/10);(J=F:6,S:4/20)Kyla didn't miss the hesitation in Marnie's answer. She narrowed her sightless eyes at Marnie.
Call me a devil... it just means I'll have to use my hellish powers to get you to listen! F:36 S:0/20Marnie's smile melted into a frown of concern when it was clear her story hadn't been bought. She laughed nervously and fidgeted in place as she attempted to think of what she could say now that she couldn't claim normalcy. When she recalled she was talking to a visually impaired vampire who worked alongside a mad scientist and a catgirl, she felt a bit better about revealing things.
"Eh.. that is to say I like to pretend I'm normal.. but.. well, I'm not *totally* human," she admitted.
Avatar from: http://x0whitelily0x.livejournal.com/5953.html N: 5 F, 0/40 SKyla nodded. "So what part of you isn't human?"
Call me a devil... it just means I'll have to use my hellish powers to get you to listen! F:36 S:0/20"Part? Well, that's.. that's a weird way to ask it.." Marnie twitched again, hesitated, and finally concluded, "I'm.. a.. I'm actually a fox that's become human. More or less."
Avatar from: http://x0whitelily0x.livejournal.com/5953.html N: 5 F, 0/40 SKyla nodded again. "That must be it," she said. "You have an animal smell, like Tammy." Satisfied with this conclusion, even though it was technically only half correct, Kyla turned away from Marnie. "Here we are," she said when they reached the guest suite.

Tammy snickers at Junko's answer. "Nya I'm sorry," she quickly says when she realizes the inappropriateness of her response, though still with a bit of a smile on her face. "It's just that I'm glad someone among us is being optimistic for a change."
"Nya you're right," Tammy agrees. "Marnie's arrival is a bit of a coincidence. Nya but it does look like she can be a big help around here."
"Nya even though it's you and me here now, I'm glad that I didn't get second shift now that I think about it," Tammy then says. "Nya let's just say that my clock is no longer in any condition to be waking me."
