[ there's some rustling. shuri's flipping through the journal like a boss, looking for something of interest. ] Ehhh! I've been here a year already and still no...

I was hoping for a family servant or a butler this round, but I'm sure someone would be happy to start the job!

I'm taking applications now.

I don't know about it being a full time job but if you need help with random things, I don't mind volunteering. But how do you plan on paying people who take it as a "job"?

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

I just need someone [ to do my chores for me ] to help around the house.

I haven't thought about that yet. [ read: why would you want to be paid? ]

[swordboning.livejournal.com]

I don't mind helping clean or cooking but, like I said, it can't be full time.

You probably should in case someone asks seriously.

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

It doesn't need to be full time! Someone will probably volunteer. It's boring and people are always looking for things to do.

But there's no money here. How could they expect to be paid?

[swordboning.livejournal.com]

I think I'm the odd man out in finding work fun.

With other services.

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

There must be other people. Somebody must have done this for a living back home.

Like?

[swordboning.livejournal.com]

I think most would have found other things to do?

Is there anything you can do?

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

Exactly why I asked when the new people are arriving!

I'm a solider.

[Guess who's been really, really on edge since Teito went home?]

You're being a brat, you know.

[Voice]

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

Your opinion doesn't count.

[Voice]

[fyulong]

Don't you get it? No one's going to pamper you or take care of you here. You have to learn to stand on your own two feet already.

[ ... what. there's a moment of silence. he's kind of confused. ]

I just said your opinion doesn't count. I already have offers!

[....]

[ARGH HE JUST WANTS TO BREAK YOUR FACE SOMETIMES YOU STUPID-

But like he told Teito way back when, Shuri just isn't worth it. So instead of arguing further, he just scowls, shuts the journal, and goes back to attempting to distract himself. Breakfast is probably a good start.]

Shuri. I hardly think we have enough room for one more person.

[Voice]

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

They wouldn't live here!

They would just come in and clean and cook.

[Voice]

[floralprophecy.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see! well, I suppose it would be nice to have someone help with that.

[Voice]

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

See, see?

[Voice]

[floralprophecy.livejournal.com]

Yes, but I don't think it would be nice to call them a servant though.

[trueknight]

[Oh it's that guy who thought he was a girl. And asking for a family servant or a butler, huh ... Figures he'd be a noble on top of it all. Now he's not sure if he wants to troll or be cold and rude.]

You seriously think anyone here is bored enough to do something like that?

[swordboning.livejournal.com]

That could be taken the wrong way too...

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

Someone must be.

[Voice]

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

What would they be then?

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

Eh?

[swordboning.livejournal.com]

Like you're taking advantage of someone. People might see it that way.

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

I'm just offering them employment!
