Assure her that it's only because this place is FUCK HUGE, and also, I thought she might appreciate having a friend to talk to that she doesn't have to act subservient to.

>>6519760
Second

>>6519760
thirding

>>6519760

Violet seems a little placated by the response, but her manner is still a little awkward. Laughing a little in a nervous tone, she answers as best she can.
"Well, I don't know... I mean, there were many other maids who majored in fields separate to mine, but I can't really recommend any unless you tell me what field you feel you require more help in."

You wonder why she can't just say a name, seeing she lived there.

>>6519793
before we know what areas we might need others in, we need to know what field her expertise lies in. So I ask her about that.

>>6519804

"Well, my majors were cleaning, music, table etiquette and bartending, but don't think that's all I can do, please! A maid isn't sent to a master unless she is competent in all areas of her work, it's just that those four areas are what I excel at."

I propose we get a trainee manservant for her, so she could go all "big sister" on him, and we need some delicious shota butlers around, just to flaunt our decadent ways. :3

>>6519834
well, it's a big place, she'll almost certainly need help cleaning. We may also want servers, in case we have guests, or a party of some sort. Maybe a dedicated cook?

We need a butler. Fuck if we don't have one right now how are we managing? WHO IS DOING OUR BUTLING

>>6519858
I'm fairly certain that "Butling" isn't a word.


But fuck if I don't love it anyway.

>>6519858
He needs to be old. Like Alfred, it's just not right if he's not old.

>>6519858
>>6519857
>>6519851
>>6519863

All these combined.

>>6519867
Too cliche.

>>6519872
some cliche's are cliche'd for a reason.


BECAUSE THEY'RE FUCKING GOOD!!

>>6519867
Also he needs to be able to kick righteous amounts of ass in a styley manner. We can't have our Butler not be a retired demon hunter, what would the other people at the country club think?

>>6519863
I think it'd be "buttling," or better, "butteling." Butteling is probably ideal, simply because a "buttling" could be a small butt, or possibly the spawn of a butt.

Ooh, what about a butler like the one from Fresh Prince? A smarmy sarcastic butler with an attitude?

>>6519880
Everything gets old after a while.

Oh god what have I done, horrible punsman?

>>6519882
I don't really think we're in a crazy fantasy world, of course, who knows...

Buttling butler getting buttpluged?

>>6519889
he could be a slightly off-his-rocker butler who THINKS he's a retired demon slayer, but is actually just off of his medication.

>>6519882
Or like Norman from Big O (SHOW TIEM!!!!!)?

>>6519889
Alright ex SAS/MI-6 whatever, what is important is when the ninja assassins come he can single handedly take them down while we flirt with the help.

>>6519897
FUCK YEAR JAP BATMAN

Best annie may ever.

Gesturing for Violet to sit, you make up a shortlist for what you need.

While having servers on hand at all times may be convenient, even the very wealthy have limits on wages they can afford. While you may wish to have them anyway, they could be contracted for specific events just as easy.

While she maintains that she can handle the cleaning herself, she acknowledges that you may want another maid for other activities, such as cooking (if that isn't going to be a dedicated chef).

As for the manservant/butler, who will handle the estate's affairs and run your finances, she suggests contacting her academy.

Most everything else (groundskeeping etc.) could feasibly be contracted out to locals.

>>6519893
No, make the butler a former manservant to a world traveling adventurer extraordinaire.

>>6519908
With levels in Secret Agent and Special Forces. Fuck yeah he could have fought the Nazis as a commando. He could tell us all sorts of kick ass stories while he prepares our mojito about how he totally bailed Mad Jack Churchill out this one time he tried to storm a German machinegun nest with his claymore and got pinned down.

This for accountant butler, a young math savant.

I want a butler now so freaking much. ;_;

It's not fair Bulters are like the coolest thing ever, how come only rich assholes get them.

>>6519923
Fits with the maid...

MIX THESE TWO!
Actually, that wouldn't be too much of a stretch, considering Norman is seen with HUGE FUCKING ARTILLERY weapons several times in the series..... So... OUR BUTLER IS NORMAN!!
>>6519921
>>6519897

>>6519921
Nah he should be calm and composed, telling us these kickass stories only when we request it, and generally being able to bring in world weary wisdom whenever needed.

>>6519926
Because if poor assholes got them too, then they wouldn't be the coolest thing ever.

>>6519926
Head butlers have butlers as well, kind of.

>>6519923
Is that sum Black Butler thar?

>>6519930
But he can still have killed Nazis right? It is a respectable feature in an elderly gentleman of class and distinction.

We're not the fucking Batman goddammit.

>>6519940
Yeah, but it was the 70's, so he doesn't talk about it.

(Butler type noted)

Throughout the shortlisting, Violet has been uneasy, but as it comes to a close she scrubs her face for a moment (a very undignified and surprising gesture) before she makes a confession.
"... I didn't make many friends in the Academy. I wasn't invited to any of the groups to sit... but I suppose that I wasn't beaten up on the football field after dark either... I was just alone most of the time."

Standing, she walks to the mouth of the gazebo. She doesn't look back.
"Forgive my selfishness, I just... there are some people there I don't ever want to see again. And I didn't want you to hire one of those people, so I..."

Also he needs a kick ass Butler name.

Giles Lincolnshire Chant sound good?

Assure her she would be Head Maid.

Ask her which days/times off she requires.

>>6519946
Fuck year Giles Lincolnshire Chant: Nazi Hunter

>>6519950
Make a list of her antagonists so we don't accidentally hire any of them.

>>6519945
"This is the bat-dance!"
"No, this is the bat-dance!"

>she walks to the mouth of the gazebo

She's gonna get eaten.

Also, sounds like, though she wasn't beaten up by a group, she might have been molested by one or two individuals and she took the first job that came along in order to get away from them.

So, you guys understand if we get a WW2 butler, that person will have only a few years till he dies of old age? And that he won't be our "family butler", so all that wisdom and familiarity thing is out of question?

Also we need a ride. Nothing as gouache as a stretch limo. A nice respectable Bentley S3 Continental. Stylish without being ostentatious. We will have Giles hire some help of a discrete nature to install the smoke dispensors and tracking dart launchers later.

>>6519968
Fuck you he is a Bulter we need this guy. Who else can we rely on when shit goes down? Some rape traumatized woman? Fuck no, when shit get real you need the Butler to unleash hell.

>>6519962
No, NO she wasn't molested. Damn you, molestation is NOT a cute background.

Anyway, yes, make a list of her antagonists, do not hire them no matter how good they seem, or how highly recommended they are. She's definately in charge of the other maids. But not the butler. He has to be free to be sarcastic and smarmy/ awesome and dapper. Also, see what we can do about getting some of her worst antagonists blacklisted by other wealthy families who may be friends of our family. We're feeling vindictive today.

>>6519968
Hence, Nazi Hunter, drowning war criminals in their bathtubs in Argentina in the 70's.

"Good evening, Herr Doctor. The survivors of Building Nineteen send their regards."

>Damn you, molestation is NOT a cute background.

It is when they enjoyed it.

How about a butler like this? Sans the being shot in the face while showing off.

>>6519994
Oh good point he needs to be sarcastic but still know his place is to clean up the messes we make. The new cleaning girl gets knocked up? Ol Giles is on the spot to drive her to the abortion clinic buy her a plane ticket and give her some money to stay gone.

>>6519996

For all we know, he could be the one who killed grandpa. We should not hire such a person.

>>6519994
Who said she has to have a cute background, who said we have a choice, its Gemini's call.

>>6519923 +sarcastic and smarmy/ awesome and dapper+green-as-grass and needs our Maid's help to get into things = Happy maid.

>>6520006
If you are going to the old as hell hard as nails approach we someone with a little restraint. Like Walter

>>6519953

The sound of being head maid doesn't excite her as much as you had expected. She merely nods and assents.
"If that is your wish, I will accept that honour. But I don't know what days I would need off... can I let you know once I have an idea what I want to do aside from work?"

>>6519958

Upon hearing you state that you just won't hire them, she quietens. You sense that while she is relieved, she doesn't like that she is causing a fuss for you.
"I-I thank you master... if you get the catalogue I could just cross off the... troublemakers."

At this point, a strong, cold breeze gusts through the gazebo. Looking out into the expanse, you realise that the sun is on it's way down. Writing the list and making all these considerations must have taken a long time. Noticing at the same time, Violet gasps and raises a hand to her mouth.
"Oh, I have to start supper soon! I'm terribly sorry, please don't get up, I'll clean up and go straight back!"
Fussing around you, she deftly puts everything into the basket she brought with her and folds up the tablecloth before dashing away, slowing to a walk as she remembers that running is undignified for a maid.

It is evening now, and you have a few choices of what to do. *up to you guys, could be anything from peruse the Academy lists to relax and play Galaga*

>>6520009
Without instruction.
A good butler is not given orders. He is employed, and he simply Knows What To Do.

>>6520012
YOU DO NOT SPEAK THAT WAY OF GILES, GOOD DAY TO YOU SIR.

>>6520017
Of course she can.

Go look at the Jedi Academy list and blackmark the troublesome one, look for any butlers that meets our criteria (be it hundred year+ old butler or shota savant).

After all is done lets check out the kitchen, or that place that isn't on the blueprints.

Drink in our study and bemoan the fate that leaves us bereft a butler.

>>6520017
OH FUCK WE HAVE GALAGA?! IS IT ON CONSOLE OR AN ARCADE MACHINE?! IT'D BETTER BE ON AN ARCADE MACHINE!!


Also, at some point we need to let her know that crossing off some names is FAR less of a problem than hiring somebody who is going to abuse their coworkers. Make it seem like not hiring those people is in OUR best interest, not just hers, that should ease her mind about being a burden or something equally silly.

>>6520012
So? We're not Grandpa, and it's not the 70's. Their war is over. It will add delicious tension to what will otherwise be a fluff piece.

Damn it now I want to be a butler.

Is there like a trade school to go to so you can become a butler?

I'd like to offer my services as butler. If the master requires a demonstration of my service, I will be happy to oblige.

>>6520016
You are aware that he was a nazi traitor all the while?

>>6520043
Yes, but it appears to start with Army Ranger.

lol wimmens can't be butlers

>>6520047
Well fucking awesome then. I can ask my first sergeant about getting sent to Benning in the morning.

>>6520044
You scare me. You're not hired.

>>6520046
Man people do all sorts of silly things in their youth. Childish games is all.

>>6520059
And he got turned into a vampire, almost killed everyone then died a miserable death while rejuvenated into his WW2 shota form.

>>6520046
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_C._Dornez

>>6520050

Can we get a reverse-trap butler?

>>6520069
so... we're a reverse trap, our maid is all woman, and our butler is also reverse trap?

>>6520046
Really? FUCKING AWESOME

>>6520075
This is a good mansion.

Look at the list from the school (Blackheart) Jedi Academy.

Also, I assume the school sent her with some sort of reference, HR file, academic transcript etc - I want to read that about her to see which subjects she was best at and if she had any discipline problems, see what the teachers comments are etc.

>>6520075

I think our gender will be left "undefined", for quite some time to come.

How many maids will the master require for his service? I am a competent cook, as well as being an impeccable bodyguard. I do hope you will consider my application.

>>6520075
We're male no?

request status:

are we male or not ?

>>6520084
Fuck yeah we are male. And so is our butler.

>>6520036

As you return to the house, you enter through the doors leading into the recreation room. The Galaga machine is standing there next to the pacman machine and air hockey table. You take back what you said just a little, being rich does have it's perks.

>>6520033

You feel that you're on a roll with the organisation, so you cross the floor to the laptop which still sits on the bar. Bringing up the Butler and Maid Academy site, you peruse the lists of people for hire, before sending the command to print. You'll need to go and get the printout from the library later, but for the meantime you look at the Butler portfolios. Two that stand out are a distinguished gentleman who has served many households over his career, and a young man being heralded as a scion of old butlery by the Academy.

Also what do we have in our secret lair? Super computer, giant robots, power armor and maintenance equipment? It's hard to know what decisions to make if we don't have a complete knowledge of all our resources.

>>6520095
Old dude, not some young punk. The kid would be cock blocking all our attempts to get some ass from the help.

>>6520095
[x] [x] [x] young man.

>>6520095
[x] Young man!

>>6520095

Go for the young dude

>>6520095

[X]Old guy

Fresh product of a line of legendary butlers? DO WANT

Old guard leads the way

Can we have an old shota? Actually old but looks young? Or vice versa, looks like a 80 year old, actually is 14?

>>6520095

Employ the young one.

Common fuckos NAZI HUNTING DAPPER SNARKY GENT or some whining sniveling baby faced meally mouthed faggot kid

who is probably gay we see the way he looks at us when we change.

>>6520123
wut?

I think old butler would only be awesome if he'd grew old while serving our family, but since this isn't the case, I'm against it. Also I'm a pervert.

Gile Chant at your service sir

>>6520079

Indeed, you were sent her file when you agreed to her employ. You have a virtual copy on your laptop and a hard copy in your desk in the library, but both are the same.

Doubleclicking, you scroll past her picture and short stat sheet to her competencies. As she mentioned before she got a blue in cleaning, from floor polishing to vacuuming and dusting to polishing crystal. She is also very skilled as a bartender and drink mixer, was top of her class in serving food and setting plate and is apparently a very gifted singer and cello player.

In the comments, the only marks in her record are that she was caught drinking when she was fifteen and subjected to disciplinary action. It speaks well of the Academy that they would keep that in there, to show that she was given discipline.

Employ the young one

Seriously you will regret going with the kid if ninjas attack. Barring some bullshit weeaboo shota fighting magic bullshit we are screwed.

Old Butler has spent his life kicking ass. He has elevated it to an art.

>>6520137
D'awwwwww.
Lets have her sing for us later. Also what are her sizes? :3

Anything about her family?

>>6520137
We should see if it's at all possible to get her to sing and play cello while we have an afternoon nap at some point in the future.

Old Butler if you please

>>6520142

Young bloke has his own giant mech. Pick him.

how about a middle aged butler? best of both worlds.

>>6520151
no, there's no fantasy/sci-fi bullshit in this.

Old Bulter shits giant mechs

>>6520142
I wonder why you think that the old butler would be anything else then a old butler...

I mean, nothing non-irl-esque happened yet.

>>6520163
why do you think the "young" butler would be anything besides an inexperienced 23 year old butler?

The only way I can concede to young butler is if he is Simon.

>>6520171
I don't. But its better then a centenarian old man who forgets things, is fragile, and won't likely to last a year.

>>6520163
Because I thought we had established Old Butler is an ex SAS/MI-6 Nazi hunting World adventurer.

Also he has a sword cane. Pic related because I imagine it was what Giles was doing prior to us hiring him.

>>6520177
God damn it Butlers are living embodiments of GAR

>>6520177
Hint: there are no nazi fightan butlers alive, if they are, then they aren't nazi fightan super solders anymore, but old men with funny smells and nots of missing teeth, and memories.

>>6520177
best story EVER

I would like to offer my services as butler to the esteemed master of the house. I would consider it a priviledge if you were to hire me as your butler.

>>6520177
I think I just got more manly, let me check.


Yup, there's 3 times as much hair on my chest.

>>6520186
Protip Nazi hunters were working in the seventies. He could reasonably be in his 60s and hunted Nazis in brazil fucko. Learn2history

>>6520177
Epic pasta is epic.

our butler should be middle aged. 50 or so. Maybe a little younger.

>>6520198
Yeah you feel that? Thats what an old bulter is capable of. Testicles descend in the presence of a real butler.

>>6520145

Assuming Violet told you the truth, you already know that her mother is dead while her father sold her to the Academy as a child to fuel his gambling addiction.

>>6520202
Butler training still lasts a few years, and this dude worked at a lot of families already...

>>6520212
But what does that have to do with Butlers?

Ah, she doesn't want us to hire her drinking buddies.

Guys, forget the goddam butler for a moment, supper will be ready soon.

>>6520215
nothing, but the butler matter is settled, he's an old, dapper gent, perhaps with a monocle. And a sword-cane.

>>6520212
D :
Damn... I wonder if we could find her dad and have a gentlemanly conversation with him. Full of HATE.

>>6520222
Of course it isn't settled! Young butler!

>>6520215
BH asked about her family.

>>6520223
naw man, get him blacklisted from whatever casinos he frequents.

>>6520218
>Guys, forget the goddam butler for a moment
You're asking this household to submit to anarchy! A good butler is the mechanic that keeps the well-oiled machine running.

Ok, as a gentleman (possibly) of leisure, what are our hobbies, besides arguing with outself about butlers?

>>6520230
IT'S SETTLED BECAUSE I SAID IT'S SETTLED, AND I'M ANONYMOUS, SO THAT MEAN'S YOU ALL AGREE WITH ME BECAUSE YOU ARE ME.

>>6520240
so far? Classic TMNT cartoons, and old arcade games.

>>6520241
u mad?

>>6520214
Military/Secret service in his twenties. Decided he wanted a life of peace and tranquil order. Butler accademy for 10-15 years. Butling for 15-20 years. Some time spent chillaxing and living under an alias above a coffee shop since his last Master was killed by the Russian Mafia in an attempt to gain control of his masters shares in the Russian State Oil company. Butler was fighting Cryogenically preserved cold war Soviet super soldiers when his master was attacked by Dimitri Drunkenov master assassin. After defeating the Cold Warriors, Butler kicks the ass of the Soviet Mafia so hard that Putin finds out and personally congratulates old butler on being awesome.

(in any case, let me know when you have worked out the butler deal)

Closing Violet's file, you walk up the grand staircase to the Great Room, admiring the Oliva Viktor painting opposite on your way to the library.

Opening the glass doors and turning on the desklamp, you walk to the printer and take the sheets out, making sure all printed. Now it's just a matter of getting Violet to check through them and cross off who she is at odds with.

As if sensing that you are thinking of her, the intercom on the desk crackles to life.
"-thing on... erm, dinner will be another half hour, master. Did you want a glass of sherry in the meantime?"

>>6520251
no, I'm not mad. Just a little crazy.

>>6520240
I presume we hunt hobos for sport in the Everglades, riding a fanboat with a corrupt sheriff and some local beauty queens.

Not often, of course. Every couple of years or so, when events conspire to place us in the South.

>>6520241

Then I'll disagree with you through the power of tripcode!

Young one!

>>6520258
It's setteled Old Butler is canon and has back story.

>>6520257
>Military/Secret service in his twenties. Decided he wanted a life of peace and tranquil order. Butler accademy for 10-15 years. Butling for 15-20 years.

And we're in how many years in the future now? 45-55 years since the 70'?

OLD BUTLER

>>6520240

As said, TMNT and old arcade games. There are also a selection of consoles and DVDs from around the world in the Media room, a gaming machine here in the library and a Warhammer painting station in the spare upstairs guest room.

>>6520258
Sherry? Hell no, champagne is terrible, we're having HIGH FUCKING QUALITY root beer. I mean, this stuff was made from GRADE A materials, and brewed especially for our family.

There, I have a reason that we're rich, our family owns a Root Beer brewery.

>>6520258
Young butler.

Old Butler is really the only logical course.

Youngan>>6520258

>>6520277
I like the beer factory thing.

A young butler wouldn't be very young at all, actually.

>>6520277
And a stripper factory or as my mom licked to call them trailer parks

>>6520289
Old butler is AGAINST logic...

>>6520292
lol

>>6520289
Old enough to have killed Nazis?

>>6520297
no, probably mid-late 20s

>>6520296
OLD BUTLER MAKES LOGIC THROUGH THE POWER OF AWESOME AND PROBABLY A MONOCLE ALSO MAYBE A SWEET ASS 'STACHE YEAH THAT WOULD BE FUCKING COOL

>>6520297
Nazis are irrelevant, I find it unlikely that a sociopath spy hunter who spent decades killing old people in south america would be ideal to our young maid and our mountain resort mansion...

>>6520304
You're being stupid. And annoying.

>>6520304
/r/ing pics of epic staches, monocles in the same shot would be a bonus.

>>6520300
Too you too bishi to many oppertunities for awkward romantic bullshit. We need old bulter, he is always on hand with an ice cold Hendricks and tonic NFL stirred so as not to bruise the gin and a snarky comment.

also he probably keeps snacks on him because he knows we love wasabi peas.

>>6520319
I'm down with all of this except Wasabi peas. I've never heard of them.

>>6520317
Your obnoxious you took my totally awesome Butler Idea and made it some limp wristed faggoty kawaii desu ne bullshit weeaboo faggotry.

Old Butler made us manly, young bulter makes us ask ourselves some really uncofortable questions about ourselves.

>>6520313

Blasphemy! Nazis are always relevant.

>>6520326
They're fucking vile.

>>6520326
Dear god my friend.

You have not lived.

Do yourself a favor. Go to the local asian market find someone that looks like they speak english and ask them to show you where to find wasabi peas.

>>6520318
Related.

>>6520330
>We have a anime french maid.

Yeah...

Still voting for young.

>>6520277

Papers in hand, you follow the hallway through the kitchen, delighting in the smell of a homecooked meal for once before you enter the hearth room. Violet stands next to the drinks cabinet to the side, placing a bottle of root beer on a serving tray and asking you to be seated next to the hearth. The fire looks fresh lit. She's a fast worker.
Reclining in the crimson high-back chair you allow Violet to take the top off the bottle and pour the root beer into a whisky glass before she retreats two paces so you may enjoy your drink.
"I hope it is to your liking, master. Usually root beer isn't served with ice, so I omitted it. If you prefer ice, I shall add it to any drinks in the future."

Young Butler his eyes are always on us. When he lays out our suits and we start to change he is always there. Looking at us with his hungry eye. Sometimes we wake in the middle of the night as if we heard somethign. No one is there but we know, we just know he was watching us while we slept.

Old Butler is kicking back and sipping a highball of fine scotch and generally being ready for fullscale ninja attacks when we sleep. We can trust old butler.

This will never end... Gemini, decide already. Fuck the consequences.

have her join us for dinner, and talk business. Play off having her join us as either A: it's a big place, and we like the company, or B: Work doesn't officially start until tomorrow, so we can relax the rules for now.


>>6520358
why don't we roll for it?

>>6520374
We do not need this. For our dignity Old Butler.

>>6520351

I'm voting for young, and also asking how many maids are we going to have? Just Violet, or have others been picked?

>>6520374
And thats a good thing. :3

Also, no-one said he'll be gay. No-one said the old guy will NOT be gay. :3

d100? closest to 53 wins?

>>6520385
actually, a gay as camp older butler who's also dapper could be funny. As long as he's not gay as camp for us.

>>6520385
The old butlers sexual orientation is irrelevent. He is our bad ass cool as fuck fix it man.

POST TO SETTLE THE BUTLER DEAL

The first person who is able, roll a D2. On a 1 we go old, on a 2 we go young. No rerolls, the first roll after this post is what we go.

>>6520388
sounds fine, although I wonder where you got 53 from.

>>6520398
53 is a good number, an old number.

>>6520385
Oh you...

>>6520388
This isn't a "Who's luckier" question, and anyway, Gemini decides. I'm done arguing. Lets get something productive on already.

My argument for old butler is he'll make the maids more comfortable than having another young man around the house.

roll

why don't we just do both? young butler can be old butler's sidekick.

>>6520410
The old chap they can come to and talk because he trust worthy and reminds them happiy of their grandfathers indulgences of the rare visits to his home in the woods.

>>6520410
My argument is that Violet needs someone to care and teach, to build some confidence in herself.

rolled 1 = 1

Rolling for Butler

>>6520432
WE GO OLD

>>6520421
Tell the maids stories how he slashed the next of sleeping old men in downrotten brazilian villas?

Or about his adventures with Lord Huffington find lost cities in the amazon.

>>6520432
Thats not how you roll son...

>>6520421
Precisely.

>>6520425
When did she come to be in charge here? This is for the good of the household, not one member of the staff.
There are several good families in the area, if she finds the situation intolerable a reference can be provided.

Okay okay now we get to get to the good bits. Enter Butler.

>>6520435
Old butler doesn't talk about his past unless asked directly. It's not befitting a gentleman to discuss the quiet work King and country demand, merely to do it with diligence and pride.

>>6520454
GOD YOU ARE THE BEST BUTLER EVER

>>6520444
violet is our first personal maid, she gets special priveleges.

>>6520454
>Implying that we're english.

I am so fucking pumped up right now. My roommate is looking at my like I am going crazy because I just stood up and started screaming "butlers fucking rock".

>>6520458
>violet is our first personal maid, she gets special priveleges.

By which you mean?

[x] Ask to join

Violet looks a little uneasy as she did at morning tea, but sits across from you in an equally high-backed puffy chair, folding her hands neatly in her lap. She still seems a little stiff, but she isn't complaining.
"Thank you, but if you don't mind I'd prefer to pass on the root beer."

You assume this is a compromise in her own mind so that this is 'okay'.

[x] Ask about interests

"Well, I enjoy playing my cello and reading." You ask what genre, to which she blushes a shade. "Erm... mainly romance novels. You know, the cheap paperbacks you get in drug stores? I just... like them."
Coughing into her hand, she looks to you.
"And you, master? What are your passions?"

>>6520465
Old Butler is. I mean for fucks sake it is well established he was in SAS and MI-6

>>6520473
>"And you, master? What are your passions?"

Old butlers...

>>6520473
We like being young handsome and wealthy. Also retro gaming and vintage cartoons. We are slightly embarrassed by our lack of worldliness but we were very sheltered, much like herself.

>>6520471
head maid.

>>6520473
Gaming, traditional games, etc.

W-we... just like them.

>>6520480
I laughed fucking hard

>>6520480
I came.

>>6520473
Passions include:
Quality root beer
Nostalgic cartoons
Old arcade games
reading
Black Jack
and plans to, maybe, write memoirs when we're older.

>>6520499
Also, zombie movies.

>>6520486
More traditionally, this would be 'housekeeper', the head of the female staff - which in this modern tale could simply be all those staff members employed in cleaning, and possibly cooking depending on how much we have for the butler to do.

>>6520508
We got the butler pretty booked up. He needs to drive us around, mix our drinks, stand two feet to the left and one and a half back from us, make us look cool, be at the ready with his trusty sword cane should danger ever present itself.

Sauce on OP pic. Please tell me that it involves rough oral intercourse.

>>6520485
>>6520499
>>6520487

Violet sits and listens as you talk about your interests. You can't tell, but you think she is pleased by your list.
"Maybe you could recommend me a good book sometime then? I finished my last book on the train."

*if you have a question then jump in, as always*

>>6520529
Maria+Hollic

Its about sadistic shota trap x emotionless maid x perverted lesbian.

>>6520538
so we were getting railroaded into a jap comic and Old Butler threw us off the rails into the lands of freedom?

GOD BLESS YOU OLD BUTLER

>>6520534
Ask if she's found a room she'd like for her own.

>>6520534
Ask her what you thinks of Butlers, specifically their place in the household and what responsibilities will fall under his purview.

>>6520538

>>6520555
Didn't we cover that? If not then this.

>>6520555

"Ah- well, I would prefer to be sleeping in the bedroom down the hall from yours, so that in case you need something you can wake me. However that room is your art studio I noticed..."

She must mean the room you paint Warhammer in.

"It's fine though, I can sleep in the room in the basement. It's just under yours and next the elevator up, so I can attend fast enough if you require."

>>6520534
A good book, hmm, I like fantasy and sci-fi, she likes romance, there must be some sort of cross-over in the genre on my bookshelf.

I'd say Terry Goodkind but I'm not going to be that mean to her.

How about 'Warprize'.

>>6520575
>Fantasy+Romance

How about Wraeththu? :3

Also, for anyone who hasn't seen them there is a floorplan of the entire mansion in the first thread, which can be found in the first thread (assuming it didn't 404 yet). Follow the link in the first post.

>>6520585
You're also headed into autosage country on this one, but I'm sure you knew that.

>>6520589
Well if some people had been able to be resonable and accept the obvious superiority of Old Butler( Do we have a name yet?) we could have shaved a hundred of those posts off our count.

New thread!

Let's keep this going!

Alright, I'll start a new thread. Also, can someone archive this and the first one? I don't want to have to repost all the room descriptions...

(in any case, we're not there quite yet with the autosage)

>>6520584
Hearing both these novels, she looks thoughtful.
"I may like to read one of those. If you have a copy, I'd like to borrow it if I could."

As if to cut the conversation, a buzzer sounds in the kitchen. Standing and smoothing her maid dress, Violet thanks you for the conversation and tells you that supper will be served shortly, so you may sit and enjoy the hearth until then. With that, she turns and walks into the kitchen. The smell of some kind of gravy reaches you.

Where is the thread Gemini I need my butler fix gemini.

>>6520631
Eat thank her, bath and go to sleep, dream of kick ass ninja wrecking butlers riding motorcycles and popping wheelies while the shoot out the tires of the car your kidnapper is driving.

>>6520631
I also suggest Clan of the Cave Bear, if she's not too creeped out by a couple incidents of semi-rape then it's a really good series.

>>6520640
NO GO I have a feeling she is a little sensitive to rape type scenarios...lets just let that idea sit for a minute

After another fifteen minutes Violet announces the meal and guides you through the kitchen and to the dining room. The silvers have been unpacked and sit gleaming on the table in neat, orderly rows, and as you sit she pushes your chair in before folding a napkin for your shirt.
"Today's meal is medium-rare steak with cracked pepper gravy and mixed vegetables, with rum and raisin ice cream as a dessert. Bon appetit."

Without further adieu, the maid pours the gravy onto the steak and stands back, awaiting instruction.

>>6520652
Eat, praise her for her cooking, make her bring something to drink for us, ask about what kind of butler would she like as a partner, ask about what she thinks about the older butler guy.

>>6520652
A nice, cold bottle of the family root beer, please.

>>6520662
This also tell her it looks fantastic but we prefer to have our desert served first. Explain to her that life is too short and death could take us at any moment, so we prefer to have a little bit of the sweet things in life first.

>>6520662
What he said.

Eat, praise, fetch drinks, chat.

>>6520662
>>6520664

Violet accepts your praise modestly.
"I didn't have much time to do anything more elaborate. I shall endeavour to do better tomorrow, master."
You tell her not to admonish herself before asking for your root beer. Nodding out of your sight, she walks from the room for a moment before returning with a cold bottle on a serving tray. Pouring the beer, she sets it in front of you before returning to her position behind you. However, you see her quickly eye the paper next to you before she goes. No doubt the logo of her Academy caught her eye.

"Shall we talk business here after dinner, master? Or would you prefer to relax in the wet bar downstairs?"

>>6520702
I'm tempted to say relax with her in the wet bar, but lets do business first. :3

>>6520675

The words make her smile despite herself.
"Ah, but usually the main course has the most time, care, devotion and love poured into it's creation. Would it not be a sin to enjoy the dessert first, when the main course means so much to the person who made it?"

>>6520702
Wet bar with a nice Monte Cristo and some a delicious Rootbeer cocktail. It is a variation of the Moscow Mule

3 part root beer
1 part bourbon
sprinkling of allspice on top

trust me this is delicious

>>6520726
Cocktail Quest.

>>6520721
Ooh, she's got us there.

Perhaps, later, she can demonstrate her abilities with the cello.

>>6520721
When you put it that way it the love in preparation of the steak seems far sweeter then some ice cream

>>6520735
agreed. Dessert first, unless she cooked the main course herself.


I suggest business after dinner, followed by relaxation in the wet bar.

Business frst then pleasure, after dinner.

>>6520738
We sure as hell didn't...

The meal is quite well cooked. You are sure that you would have a hard time receiving a meal of this level anywhere in the village below, and the rum and raisin ice-cream offsets the gravy and meat nicely. You thank her for a lovely meal, again responded to with modesty, before the table is cleared. Violet returns ten minutes later and sits across from you at the table, the sound of the grandfather clock in the hallway ticking loudly.

"I have been thinking about our employment issue a little. Before we move onto the main questions, unless you want to hire a groundskeeper permanently I suggest you outsource a local landscaper once a week. If you wish this, you may leave the matter with me."

After this decision, you move onto the matter of the butler (make the choice, guys).

>>6520769
I mean in the future, when we might possibly have a dedicated chef.

>>6520776
We rolled Old Butler won.

>>6520776
Leaving it to her sounds good. If she's going to be the head maid, then we'll have to give her some responsibilities.

Maid Fortress

>>6520791
I mean leaving the groundskeeper choice to her is good. We've chosen old butler.

>>6520791
Traditionally the household staff is managed by the Butler. The Housekeeper is like his NCO keeping her charges in line and working.

Lets discuus which people you don't want me to hire, and why.
