Agree to her terms, but tell her that it only makes me more curious. Say it with a friendly/joking smile.

>>6520884
But of course~

smile indulgently and say her reasons are her known and if she is going to be the housekeeper her approval in this matter is all the is important.

>>6520900

At the remark, her eyes are downcast.
"I-it's not a good story... but thank you."

Silently, Violet sets upon the paper, scratching out a number of names. After a few pages, she speaks out.
"What are you looking for in this new maid, skill-wise?"

>>6520930
Transforming magic girl

>>6520930
Quiet clean efficent and most of all trustworthy. There maybe some things she will see working for us, that would be best left unremarked upon.

>anime

>>6520930
Must be highly skilled at fellatio.

>>6520944
-And should have huge jugs. :3

>>6520930
Basically, someone who can complement any skills she's lacking, someone who's easy going, laid back, but responsible.

>>6520944

"I... think there are a few girls I know who could be like that. Rumours would always spread around the Academy like spilt wine, and it was easy to see who was gossiping and who was keeping to themselves about things..."

Slowly, a few names are circled. The choices include a few learned women and a few underclassmen of Violet, but as she nears the list she gasps forlornly.
"Oh no... one of the girls who I was paired with in my juniour years has returned to the Academy from an abusive master. I hope it's not too bad, but... she did go back..."

[ ] Ask about maids older than Violet (twenties)
[ ] Ask about maids younger than Violet (late teens)
[ ] Ask about her abused friend

[x] Ask about maids older than Violet (twenties)
[x] Ask about maids younger than Violet (late teens)
[x] Ask about her abused friend

>>6521000
damn you and your thinly veiled plot hooks.
Ask about hte abused friend.

[x] Ask about her abused friend

and then

[x] Ask about maids younger than Violet (late teens)

if the first answer isn't satisfactory.

>>6521000
ANYTHING BUT THE DAMAGED GOODS

seriously it sucks what happened to her, but she will likely cause drama and ruin our whole millionare bachelor/caped crusader vibe we have going.

Unless we are talking about a young friend named Cassie Cane who is also one of the worlds most deadly assassins and is loyal as fuck

>>6521020
gtfo

>>6521020

Also, are we talking physical abuse or sexual abuse or what?

Having a traumatized maid could cut into our eventual servant-dickings.

So, [x] Ask about her abused friend

>>6521046
Or pull an Eldrad...

>>6521012
>>6521017

"It happens from time to time. A girl comes back with a black eye, or a broken wrist, and is rehabilitated until she is ready to be sent out again... or until the Academy decides she is unfit to be a maid any longer. We all grew up knowing that we may get sent to such a house. To tell you the truth, when I was informed that I was finally being sent to a master, I was a little worried that something like this could happen to me."

Having sounded sad as she spoke, Violet raises her head with a weak smile.
"But you're not like that, so it's alright. I feel bad for Karen, but she'll be alright. She's strong. Anyway, let's move on."

Next on the list are the underclassmen to Violet. These individuals are the ones who study the hardest and are able to fulfill the criteria for graduation before everyone else.
"You are pretty much guaranteed that these girls will not have left the Academy before, and you will be their first master."

>>6521092
Fresh meat

nice

The other option is the older maids.
"Some of these maids will have been to another master or two before you, and others will simply not have been hired so continued lessons until they were."
The latter was the case for Violet herself.
"While they may be set in ways contrary to what you prefer, and will have to acclimatise, they will have more experience than those younger than myself."

>>6521092
first timers sound good. Considering it's our first time having a maid, it's only fair that we be their first master, right?

>>6521092

You've got me on your plothook, Gemini.

hmm on the one hand the young ones are an unknown element. They have not been tested in other homes and could have some serious issues that weren't present in the school environment. The old ones are a guarantee what their record shows is who they are, blemishes and all.

Let's see the underclassman list then.

Can we mix them up? A few younger ones, a few older ones.

>>6521156
only reason I see why not is funds.

>>6521159
FUND IT

>>6521156

A few? Jesus, how many do we want? The whole Academy?!

>>6521159

Good point. How many people can we support in addition to Violet and Old Butler?

>>6521182

After taking stock of your funds, you believe that one is optimal, and two would be a stretch but doable. You don't really have the funds for more, as the Butler will command a sizeable fee.

>>6521182
We really need to give Old Butler a name.

Las thread had Giles Chant. I kind of like but needs more...zazz.

>>6521199

I was going to suggest Goddard, but I'll let you guys duke it out over the name.

>>6521198
Younger one, then.

Two is a good number of underlings for Miss Violet.

Managable but enough to keep things interesting.

>>6521198
A younger one.

We'll already have someone who is old, OLD.

>>6521198
Fuck one then. We need to keep our butler living in style, he is our boy.

Take a young maid now, but keep an eye on Karen. If she gets into any trouble, we should rescue her like the gentleman we are.

>>6521207
I already won the Old Butler concession. Seriously though, Goddard is a good name. Proper stiff up lip sound to it.

First name needs something special.

>>6521274

Amazington Goddard?

'Carey' is a rather classic English name. And yes, male in that spelling.

>>6521282
Ambrose Laird Goddard

After looking at the list, Violet whittles it down to two.
"I have to admit that I don't know either of these girls too well, but I know enough that they are of the mindset that you require."

The first is aged eighteen, and her majors are cooking, cleaning and athletics.
"Athletics is something a maid can major in." Violet explains. "It shows that she is fit, strong and able to take care of herself. As for the girl herself, she seemed rather devoted, from what I remember."

The second girl is a quieter one, majoring in electronic communications, book-keeping, calligraphy and guest management.
"This one spent most of her time in the Academy's library... she didn't have many friends I don't think, but that may have been her perogative."

>>6521302
Quiet one.

>>6521302
We need an athelic maid for menial tasks, while a bookkeeping maid would be good for managing the Rootbeer factory.

Lets go athletic when we are more well established we can work on getting the books together or bail out damaged goods if she is in dire straights.

>>6521302
The first one, definately. She can help keep us in shape, since she majored in athletics. And she can help clean.

Athletic one, the other one could be a basket case.

>>6521302

Second one, she can help us get more money for additional maids.

>>6520884
Requesting to make a draft for the first one, and to receive more information on her persona. Such to say, request Violet to send a mail to the Academy and inform them of our interest in her.

>>6521379
This closest we have to a solid plan

>>6521370
*Overlord voice* You require more french maids!

>>6521402
You must construct additional french maids!

>>6521316
>>6521322
>>6521369
>>6521379

Violet nods with a thin smile and slides the papers back across the polished table to you.
"The matter is adjurned then. I will leave the expressions of interest to you then, unless you wish for me to write them. I did undertake formal letter writing as a class, so it is no problem if you wish to make use of my services."

The grandfather clock's ticking refills the silence as you sit across from each other for a moment before she steeples her fingers.
"Would you still like your drink in the wet bar, master? Or should I run your bath?"

>>6521426
I'm torn but I think I'll go with drink.

Why? Because I say offer her a drink and see what happens.

Was that mark on her record just a 'kids being rebels' thing or does she have a taste for alcohol?

>>6521447
On second thought we have a busy day, no drink just a bath and sleep. We have a busy day of excitement and adventure with our new Butler sidekick tomorrow.

>>6521426
>>6521447
Quick recap comrades: I'd say let's make use of her drink mixing techniques and let her do what she does best, it could make her happy. Let's give her a chance to make a drink which she personally likes? Compliments and everything so she could warm up?

When will we have maids like these?

>>6521478
Also ask her to join you and toast to new beginings and friends not yet met.

>>6521498
Seconded

>>6521478
>>6521498
These.

Pic unrelated.

>>6521498
First go to your study and find the bottle of Rohypnol you have stashed in the third drawer on the left. Make sure to add no more then three drops to her drink.

>>6521498
Another vote for this.

Either Butler or maid girl dickings Storyteller. This shit is getting anti climactic.

>>6521447
>>6521478
>>6521498

You allow yourself to be persuaded. Following the maid through the hall and down the grand staircase, you take a seat at the bar as Violet crosses behind before looking through the collection of bottles.
"A well stocked bar. Not that I expected anything less, of course. Now, what do you fancy?"

She seems... at ease behind the bar. Like a captain who strides to the helm of his ship. Not having any real preferences, you let her choose the first drink and ask her to join you in a toast to new beginnings and friends not yet met. Violet considers this for a moment before nodding.
"Usually I would pass. It's undignified for a barkeep to be outdrinking the people she's served. But okay, this once I'll join you."

Reaching into the fridges, she pulls out the tomato juice, tobasco, a lemon and some pepper before throwing a hand out to take the vodka bottle from the shelf. You watch her show off with her trick pouring for a moment before she crafts the Bloody Marys, sliding one to you and rounding the bar to sit on a stool next to yours. She lifts her glass in the toast and daintily sips her drink.

Yours has a bit of a kick, but it's quite acceptable.

*feel free to act*

>>6521619
Bluff

"I think I hear someone at the door, could you check and see?"

>>6521619
So, did you enjoy the Maid Academy?
Ever wanted to be anything else?

I have to get up for work in like three hours. It's been fun, keep thread alive, and hopefully there will be BUTLERS in the morning.

Also when she leaves to check the door slip her a roofie.

>>6521619

an astronaut, please.

>>6521619
>>6521646

It was just a matter of time before all the creepy neckbeards started turning this into a dating sim.

>>6521619

First of all to make her feel even more comfortable: tell her a bit about us at first? For example parents, how money never replaces people and how we are glad she is with us?

After the initial dialog continue with this:
Shall we have a conversation of her life? Such as was it her own free will to come to the academy? Apologize first and then ask about her life before she came to the academy? And comment to her if she would like to tell any fond memories she had in the academy, something she might like to share?

>>6521683
nofunallowed.jpg

>>6521683
Well wouldn't you like to know the person who's working for you, for example if she's not a sociopath or some other maniac who just ran loose and killed the original maid?

>>6521646

"Maybe when I was younger. At the Academy they have ways of replacing those kinds of thoughts with wanting to be a maid all the more. The youngest see it as a noble thing, to want to serve a prestigeous household, and wait on princeses and princesses. As you get older you realise that's fantasy, but the noble thought of serving as a maid remains. We're starting to fade away into obscurity, us true maids. Nowadays, anyone who picks up a mop and puts on an apron wants to call themselves a maid. It's nice, to be the genuine thing."

The Bloody Mary that was in her hands is gone. Looking at her, you think she's in a happy place with her inebriation right now. Maybe they didn't allow her to drink after the incident. Or maybe it's just strong... you're feeling a little less that straight upright.

>>6521706
have another drink, keep talking about the past

Хорошая новость ;)

>>6521691

You speak a little of yourself, of how your homelife used to be, of going to a private school and how some parts were similar to her Academy. You can both laugh at antics against lecturers with too much starch in their collars, because all institutions have at least one.

You already know that it wasn't her idea to come to the Academy, but you decide to ask about her life before it. She looks as though she has tasted something unpleasant for a moment before she answers.
"It wasn't all bad when I was really young. When he was up, my father would treat me to toys or a trip to the Madrid fairgrounds. But it was bad when he was losing... and the weeks before I was handed over, he was losing a lot."

She is quiet for a moment before realising that she has said more than she meant to. Laughing once, she shakes her head.
"But that was a long time ago. I'm sorry to go on like that, the alcohol is making me talk."

>>6521772
Quite fine, we'd love to know her more personally.

>>6521772

At your bidding, she mixes another drink. This time it's a Black Russian. Perhaps vodka is her weapon of choice?
As she shakes the cocktail, she speaks over the sound of the ice.
"Making the truly classic drinks is an art all of it's own. Some people find it dull, but in a way you compete with any other bartender who ever made that drink for them. Think back, you'll remember where you drank the best mix of your favourite drink."

Quickly, she pours two glasses and wipes the condensation off the black marble bar.
"I think this is my last one, master. I still have to send these applications away, and I have to be up early tomorrow."

>>6521815
awwwh ok, finish the drink. it looks like she is uncomfortable talking anymore about her self. try the lighten the mood with a funny story about yourself?

>>6521772
>>6521815
Ask her if she would like to sing for us a song she personally likes, an lullaby or anything "soft" to fit in the mood

>>6521815

Tell her about the time Interpol arrested you by accident and then let you go.(but they right the first time)

Offtopic. That previous left us in a tough situation, we'll see how this continues

>>6521913
so this is us?

Sipping upon your drinks, you reminisce about the time you let the parking break off your father's E-Type by accident, then hid in the conservatory for almost a full day. The story makes her laugh, as she knows a little about cars and understands full well how bad a situation it must have been at the time. Her joviality returns, but she doesn't have too many stories about her Academy days that she is willing to share yet. Instead, Violet asks more about the mansion and your ancestors who lived here, a topic you are able to talk about. Violet is rather interested in this place's history, it seems. Thinking about it as you talk, it may go back to that noble ideal she spoke of, that the younger students held close. Perhaps hope of such a story never dies.

As the drinks are finished, the maid takes your glasses and puts them and the shaker into the glass washer before leaning on the counter a little. She seems a little tipsy, but seems to be keeping a measure of humility about her.
"Well, thank you for drinking with me." she says with her small smile before rubbing the counter with the cleaning cloth.
"Is there anything else I can do for you this evening, master? If not, I will see you to the top of the stairs and bid you goodnight."

>>6521905

When you ask for her to sing, she blushes profusely.
"I've been drinking, it would sound like a dog howling. I wouldn't subject you to that..."

>>6521931

Yes we sell things that the government wants to sell that they can't to people of a more villainous disposition.

>>6521956
Tell her that her talking voice hasn't changed at all, and some people actually sing better when they have had a little bit of vodka to drink(IRL queen(freddie mercury) sang "Show must go on" after drinking vodka)

Ask her for a song.

>>6521956
We like dogs...

>>6521976
i like this idea
but the character is younger, so he inheritied the work from a older family member?

Ask if she could play some music for us.

>>6522036
>>6521983
This or the otherone

Both sound really nice.
Eitherway: Music!

>>6521983

She stops and thinks for a moment, the rag ceasing movement. Her face is blank, and you think she is trying to think of a way out, but after a moment her voice begins to flow into melody.

"Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side
Rainbows are visions
They're only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some chose to
believe it
But I know they're wrong wait and see

Someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me."

As her voice carries through the basement, her eyes close gently and her head turns ever so slightly. You see her hands gently ball the cloth between them as they hover just over the marble counter, and even the Galaga machine seems to become quiet.
When she is finished, she looks immediately away.
"I'm sorry, that should have sounded much better." A laugh. "That's why I don't do karaoke."

>>6522088
Applaud and praise her, with some hidden sexual innuendo.

>>6522088
*applause!*

That was wonderful!

>>6522088
dont just sit there with a dumb look on your face compliment the women

>>6522088
Look at her with mouth open in awe and start claping hand and turn the aweness to cheer and tell her "That was something i've totally never heard before. Beauty beyond measure, a song which touched me. Thank you for letting me hear it." Also adding that she can sing anytime she feels like.

>>6522128
>>6522130
>>6522139

Clapping your hands, you thank her for singing such a beautiful tune for you. Her blush deepens, but she still manages to look up.

"Thank you for your applause, but next time I sing for you I hope to be sober."

After a moment she puts the rag away, still clearly embarassed.
"We should retire for the night, if there is nothing else you wish. Shall I see you to the top of the stairs, master?"

>>6522186

Well i think that its time to hit the hay then.

Off to bed then eh?

*suggestive wink*

>>6522186

Time to go upstairs for the night.

>>6522186
Yes, indeed. And then we retired into our room, looked over our belongings, then go to bed after a looooooong day.

>>6522193
>>6522201
>>6522206

Never having seen you drink before, Violet stays close to you in case you start to stumble drunkenly and need to be caught. Truly you would have to be a sad and sorry drunk for this to be the case, but it is her job to take care of you now.

Slowly you ascend the stairs together, the footsteps echoing out into the Great Room. Reaching the top, she stops.
"Goodnight, master. If you need me, please don't think twice. Just call me on the intercom and I will serve you as I am able."

She looks as if she wants to say something else, but stops and settles for, "I will wake you tomorrow at the time you requested. Pleasant dreams, master."

With that, she bows and turns to go to her room in the basement.

*anything else urgent? If not, it will wait until tomorrow*

>>6522272
Not really.

Sleep well

wish her a good night and sweet dreams

>>6522289

You wish her good night and pleasant dreams in return before heading off across the Great Room towards the master bedroom. Violet's footsteps fade away down the stairwell behind you, but are drowned out by the grandfather clock chiming the hour.

*****

Alright, calling it here. This game has gone on for ten straight hours and three consecutive threads, and I need sleep.

When we pick up again, we will have our dapper gent butler to look forward to, as well as another maid, so things should get more lively.

Cheers for your support everyone, it's good to be back on /tg/.

Well done Gemini and may I say thank you for 3 very entertaining threads.

I hope the next one is just as good.

>ending picture
Oh god, Hisui...

>>6522364
really enjoyed these threads. keep up the good work bro!

>>6522364
Thank you Gemini, it has been a great story, wish to see it continue soon. It has been a pleasure.

Dear freaking GOD can someone PLEASE make a archive of this, I was here during the first thread but it seems me going to work made me miss out on alot

I very much enjoyed these threads. Perhaps in the next chapter something "interesting" happens.

I hope somebody archived these threads.
Hoping to see more from you in the future, Gemini, and thank you for the story!

Damn, missed it. I had a great time in the first thread. Is there an archive yet, because I suspect great things to come from this.
Thanks you kindly, Gemini!

Sweet titties this shit rocks. kaykaykay We get Butler today fucking awesome.

Obviously Since we are a small household Ambrose will be preforming the role of Valet as well as Butler. As the majordomo in charge of the household staff as well as performing personal services such as maintaining his employer's clothes, running his bath and perhaps shaving his employer, he is expected to act in a discrete manner. I kind of have a Steven Fry Jeeves vibe going.

Fuck year maid quest

GEMENI WHERE ARE YOU?

I think our Butler should be based off of Steven Colbert
