[ PSA PSA PSA you get no PSA today.

Instead you get a reluctant Ella, sitting in front of her NV and looking like she wanted to be aaaaaaaanywhere but there. Don't ask why she's wearing a French Maid outfit. Please, for the love of god.

Once it's set up and recording, she smiles tightly. Her speech, as she gives it, is curiously stilted. She must be nervous - and in that get up why wouldn't she be? ]

Hi guys, um - I figured this would be the easiest and quickest way to get the word out. My stepsister Hattie has Fi.. [ Pause. ]

She decided to start a small business af-- [ Nggh. Let her SPEAK damn you. ]

-ter some deliberation. She's starting a... cleaning service. REAL MAN-- [ SIGH. ] men could hardly want to pass up a chance to take her up on her offer, right?

[ Plus she's a wretched human being for an evil stepsister. ]

On behalf of my stepsister, Hattie, as [ Her words come more slowly and forced through clenched teeth. ]

the ... business... "mascot"... 'Cinder'

[ She sucks in a breath because breathing is GOOD. ]

I... would truly appreciate it if you would -- if someone would be kind enough to --

[ She struggles with her words, and with great effort, forces herself up to walk off 'camera'. ]

I can't do this, I just can't -!


You can't break character, go back and finish! And smile!


[ Ella stumbles back into view, apparently tripping over her own feet and reclaiming her seat. She sighs heavily. Rubbing her hands over her face. You're getting a wolf wakeup call in the morning, Hattie. And poison ivy in your bedsheets. ]

I would appreciate it greatly if you would support her in her endeavors, as it is the first time she's e-

[ Another jolted pause. ]

I mean...a-as she's...extra shy. Anyone who wishes to inquire into her services can leave a message with her or me. Thank you.

[ She smiles, briefly, and turns off the NV muttering under her breath. Can she change into something respectable now? PLEASE? ]

[ ooc: Yah, the lady in orange is Hattie from off camera. ]

[Hattie rubs her chin, sitting in her director's chair. That is, a regular chair.]

That wasn't... Too bad, for an ad-lib. Though, I can't help but feel we should do another take.

Maybe with a script this time.

[Action]

[ella_of_frell]

[ Frankly she was feeling a little dizzy from the effort of trying to fight the curse, so she rested her head in her hands. ]

No no, sweet sister, I think it was quite right. It was short, sweet and got the message across. You don't really need more than that, now do you?

[Action] Lovin' that icon.

[blondandperfect]

[Yes, if Ella collapsed, that would have called for a retake for sure! Hattie seems defiant, nervous she's being tricked.]

Maybe I do! [Ok maybe that was overreacting.] Well, I suppose not. But you're getting a script next time regardless. Then maybe a producer of 'Love is Over' will want to use it! That'd be exciting~.

[soul_scatter]

[So, Ella, since the 7DS plot is in full swing. Ever hear Bya mad? No? Well, congrats! Now you have.]

Ella-sama.

[Cold, almost a growl, and without his normal controlled modulation. Go go WRATH!]

[Voice]

[ella_of_frell]

[ Ohmai. o_o What did she do? Ella puzzles this for a second, and then responds. ]

Yes Byakuya? [ All sugar and peaches. ]

[Voice]

[soul_scatter]

Why are you allowing that harridan of a commoner to demean you so?

[LOL Wrath is so much fun...]

[brigadeleader]

"Cinder" Ella? Cute... But that outfit is much cuter! You have to show me sometime. I'll touch it up a little.

[ella_of_frell]

[ Sigh. ]

It's a nickname I had back home. ... [ ergh. ]

Touch it up? I'm almost afraid to ask /how/.

video;

[brigadeleader]

Haha, can I call you that, Ella?!

Touch it up to make it fit you better, of course. It's a requirement!

[Video]

[fightswithpurpose]

...Hattie is shy?

[It's a little hard to believe.]

Ah, I hope the business goes well, though.

[Video]

[ella_of_frell]

[ Eheheh. ]

Perhaps... shy isn't quite the proper word. She's friendly enough in the social circuit, but when it comes to approaching potential clients, she's a little...inexperienced. [ Not that Ella was any better. ]

I hope so too! I want nothing but success for her!

[Video]

[fightswithpurpose]

Oh, I see.

[That she can understand. Hattie always struck her as being very used to getting her way, and Nelliel appreciates that she's been trying to improve herself.]

If there are any business cards made up, I can take them into my workplaces for her.

[classdismissed]

...

You know, I know ways to make people disappear. Just throwing that out there.

[audio]

[ella_of_frell]

Hi Griffin! [ You can't see it but she's smiling SO HARD because Hattie wants her to smile. ]

I'm... not sure that having people disappear is going to help with Hattie's business. Unless you know how to make stains disappear - THAT would be useful! [ Haha, see that joke. GOD KILL HER. ]

[audio]

[classdismissed]

[Pause because...]

What's wrong with you?

[rhythminmysoul]

Cleaning service huh?

[Video]

[ella_of_frell]

Yep! Know anyone who needs their house cleaned?

[icy_heavens]

[This comes a little later, for a couple of reasons. First: he'd rather, as always, not have Hattie able to throw her two cents in. Second: it had taken a while for him to talk Kuchiki down even marginally until the man had gone off to either seethe at his Wakame Ambassador statue or fuss with his hair. Hell, maybe both.]

My apologies for Kuchiki's behaviour earlier. I don't know what's gotten into him.

[ella_of_frell]

I don't know either, but clearly it's something that's been on his mind for some time.

[the_dead_pool2]

[Deadpool stops and pauses for a moment, and stares, well that was certainly an interesting image]

Ella, ques que fuck?

Video

[ella_of_frell]

[ Snerk. What, this is totally legit. She chuckles a bit. ]

I'll..take that as an expression of confusion? I'm just ... doing my part to help her out.

[archangelflonne]

A cleaning service? I'm sure that in a city like this there are plenty of messes to clean up. Its a good idea!

[ Video ]

[ella_of_frell]

Yeah, it's a pretty big city, and there are plenty of large residences. I have to admit she is ... extremely clever. I'm sure she'll be a success in no time.

[antiwar]

[ Unfortunately, Howl can't enjoy the beauty of the sight since it seems apparent that she's visibly uncomfortable in the attire. ]

Forgive me for being confused! Is it you that will be doing the cleaning, or she?

[ Audio ]

[ella_of_frell]

[ Oh Bless you Howl, for using Audio. :3 ]

Oh, it will be me. I'm helping her out until she can find suitable employees to ...employ. [ Pff, Hattie probably has no intention of hiring other people and giving them more money. ]
