[ 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. ]

Cleaning service huh?

Yep! Know anyone who needs their house cleaned?

Well I know my little apartment could use some TLC. I've been pretty busy lately.

[ She laughs. ]

I'm not sure what my sister is charging - let me check with her. [ She's going to lean away from the NV to get Hattie's attention over here. ]

[Hattie looks up from her NV.]

Hmn?

Danny's interested in someone to clean his apartment, but I don't know what your rates are going to be.

[Hattie looks perplexed.]

Danny? The singing cat? .. He has an -apartment-?

Of course he does. Why wouldn't he?

[Hattie raises a brow.]

Because he's a -cat-, Ella.

Look, never mind. It's probably not a very large place. Tell him twenty for everything if he lets us use him as a reference. We'll need to get before/after pictures, as well.

A sentient, talking, singing cat, Hattie. It's not like he's Lucifurr.

[ Whoah, twenty dollars? H_ella cheap. ]

Okay, I'll let him know.

Alright. Let me know, okay?

[And he'll just sit here patiently waiting with a smirk on his face.]

[ And a few minutes later, she turns her attention to the NV again. ]

Danny? Hattie's offered to charge $20 for everything, if you let us use you as a reference, and to get before and after photos. How does that sound?

[The cat smiles.]

Tell her she has a deal. I'll even throw in doing a commercial type post for her if she wants.

Oh you're brilliant Danny, thank you. She'd love it, trust me!

When do you want me to come by?

Today or tomorrow would be great. Whenever you got time.

I'll be free tomorrow afternoon - is that good for you?

Sounds perfect. See you then!
