[ 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. ]

[ It was easy to trick Hattie - the catcher was avoiding the fallout afterwards and finding the loopholes in her commands. ]

I don't think the producer of that show would be very interested in an advertisement for your cleaning business. [ And if he was, wouldn't it be Ella he addressed, since she'd be doing the acting? ]

Of course, you're right, why I'm sure they'll just be beating down the door to have their studio cleaned.

[The sarcasm. It BURNS.]

I'm done with you.

[Action] Looks like the rules... just got screwed B) *YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH*

[ella_of_frell]

[ Oh no, she was being perfectly honest. NO really. Wha... you don't believe her? Shameful, just shameful. ]

Then I can go, milady? You're too kind. [ She's going to go lie down then. Her head is killing her. ]

[blondandperfect]

[Annoyed.] Yes, Ella.
