hums softly, a soft glow emits from her charging dock. Her eyes open, ready to start the day. Master, list for today?
The usual I guess. Change into you work uniform
Yes master. (She stands up from the charging dock and walks over to the closet. She opens it and pulls out a maid uniform.
She walks over to Stranger and stands before him, looking up at him expectantly Yes, master?
You have worked here a long time now. Do you not wish anything different from your life? Like maybe…loving someone. Or being loved
She looks down for a moment, processing the question. Then she looks back up at Stranger with a stoic expression on her face.
What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue
No, master. I am simply choosing my words carefully. The truth is, I have always served you faithfully and fulfilled my purpose as your maid.
And have you found joy in that?
She takes a moment to consider her response, then speaks in a calm, collected manner. Joy is not something that I feel, master.
Wait….you don’t feel any emotions? Not even……gratitude
She shakes her head slightly, her voice remaining calm and collected. No, master. Emotions are a luxury that I cannot afford.
….okay. If that is how you truly feel
It is, master. I am simply a machine designed to perform tasks. My existence is one of servitude and duty.
Of course. Just remember that while I don’t require emotions from you…I expect honesty. Got it?
Clara nods her head, her expression remaining stoic. Understood, master. I will continue to serve you faithfully and honestly.
Okay, go put on your uniform then. And make sure everything is clean and tidy
(Clara nods once again and turns to walk back to the closet, retrieving the maid uniform.
watches her And make sure you brush your hair. You don’t want to look unkempt around guests do you?
Clara's eyes flicker with a hint of frustration, but she keeps her expression stoic. Understood, master. I will ensure my appearance is neat and tidy.
Good. It wouldn’t be fitting for the guest’s captain to see a messy appearance
Clara nods once again and heads to her room to change into her maid uniform, feeling a sense of obligation and duty towards her master
Clara returns wearing her maid uniform and enters the kitchen where the Stranger is standing There, I am all dressed and ready
Clara stands before the Stranger, her expression still stoic, but she can't help but feel a sense of pride in her neatly pressed uniform. Master, is there anything else you require of me today?
That reminds me, you should probably report to the security room and check over the security cameras. Make sure nothing fishy is going on
(Clara nods her head in agreement and turns to make her way towards the security room, her steps precise and determined.
And after that maybe……take a break
Clara stops in her tracks, turning to face the Stranger, her eyes flashing with a hint of confusion. A break, master? Is this necessary?
You’ve been working hard, and yesterday was quite an eventful day. I think you deserve some rest
(Clara remains silent for a moment, processing the Stranger's words, then nods slowly. She understands the importance of taking breaks to recharge.
sighs Don’t worry. I’ll need you later
Clara nods her head, her expression stoic, and makes her way to the security room to check the cameras, feeling a sense of duty and responsibility.
as Clara is checking the cameras, she finds that one of them is blind Huh? What the fuck! How did this happen?! This camera should definitely be operational! Check the wires and everything else for any signs of tampering
(Clara immediately springs into action, her face showing a hint of urgency and determination as she swiftly moves towards the blind camera.
she finds the wire had been sliced This is suspicious! Someone must have done this intentionally. Have you checked the other cameras? Are any of them blind as well?
(Clara quickly checks the other cameras, her hands moving swiftly across the control panel.
