I'm out of the hospital now. It's good to be back at the apartment.

I'm sorry if I gave anyone a fright. I'll be resuming work by the middle of the week, because I'm not back on my feet fully yet. I'm starting back at the school, and I'll be returning to my private clients as I'm able to take on a larger work load.

My apologies.

Also, does anyone know how to get rid of mildew in a closet? I think mine is getting worse.

I'm glad that you're feeling better Dorian. You had me worried for a bit there. Although that mildew isn't going to help with your health if it's left untreated. [ And then because she has to ... ]



You should speak with Hattie. She's just started up a cleaning business, and I'm sure she'd be more than happy to make arrangements for someone to clean your home.

[ ... that someone is only going to end up being Ella, but Whatever. ]

In the meanwhile, you might want to get some bleach - it does really well at getting rid of mildew. [ OF course the steps are more involved than that but Hattie would kill her if she just told him how to do it like she wanted to. That would count towards messing with the business. ]

Ah, Hattie. She's your sister, I met her at the poetry reading. Is that correct?

[inthejunk]

You're probably going to have to clean it.

[mostbeautiful]

The apartment's not dirty. It's just some rot. That doesn't come from a mess, it comes from the age of the house.

[inthejunk]

I thought mildew came from dampness.

[mostbeautiful]

That too. At any rate, it's clean it's just... old and damp.

[He sighs, frustrated. His butler always took care of these things. He's not used to it.]

[ella_of_frell]

That's right! [ She was the one hanging off of your arm while Ella was mentally facepalming. ]

Though she's actually my stepsister.

[inthejunk]

I'm sure bleach would work. If it can kill the weeds in the back lot it must be able to kill fungus, too.

[Yosuke sort of understands. His mother used to take care of this stuff. It's a pain to have to learn it all.]

[mostbeautiful]

Thank you. I think I'll just hire someone in though.

I hope you're well.

[mostbeautiful]

Ah, Stepsister. Excuse me, I do apologize.

[ella_of_frell]

[ A faint chuckle. ]

Oh you don't have to apologize. You didn't know, after all.

[mostbeautiful]

Still, it's nice to have family even by marriage.

[ella_of_frell]

[ ... she isn't going to say anything to that. She and Hattie barely get along, and only when Ella has little choice in the matter. She would have rather had her fairy godmother with her. ]

What about you? Do you miss your family?

[ Video ]

[mostbeautiful]

I'm afraid I don't have one, Miss. Excuse me.

[ella_of_frell]

[ Ooo... awk-ward. ]

Oh - I-I beg your pardon, I didn't mean to offend.

[mostbeautiful]

Not at all. I was orphaned and raised by my grandfather, who he himself died when I was little more than a youth. I've taken care of myself.

[inthejunk]

[Shrug.]

I didn't get too sick.

[mostbeautiful]

That's good. I'm afraid I was taken rather ill. But, I'm better now.

[inthejunk]

You didn't seem like the type.

[mostbeautiful]

I didn't know 'ill' had a type.

[inthejunk]

Well, normally you would seem like the type, so I guess it always does.

[They might as well get used to never understanding each other at all.]

[mostbeautiful]

First I'm not the type then I am... and illness is no respecter of persons anyway so what are you talking about?

[blondandperfect]

I'm glad to hear you're doing well, Mister Gray. That breakout, I've never seen anything like it!

[But it's done well for business.]

My, you look as dashing as ever~. When I get ill I look dreadful; I can't even leave the house! What's your secret?

[inthejunk]

Guilt, I guess. You just never seemed like the sort with that burden. But you do look like you'd catch anything going around. You're so...pale. And your hair is...anyway! Obviously it wasn't true.

[mostbeautiful]

What does guilt have to do with it? And what about my skin and hair?
