[A - 5724  Cunningham Lane - Early Morning - Housemates, welcome the not!daughter]

[In this situation, the house will find that one of their dronekids is notably not a dronekid anymore. Instead, here we have one (1) Japanese girl of relatively average height and build. She's also, notably, rather pretty.

Oh and she's staring in a mirror, looking a

[Eiki had become accustomed to ignoring the children of the house, and ignoring the "father" as well for the most part. She dd her own things trying to fill up time since she lacked a job. Stupid town and giving women the shaft, she was a professional, she should do things befitting of a professional. Still every so often she did check to see what the drone kids were doing, they might end up being a new arrival at some point. In this case it seemed there was indeed a new arrival.]

You're probably thinking this is a dream or something, I'm sorry to say it isn't.

[ofroyalred]

[She freezes, tensing, then peers back over her shoulder]

Ah- pardon me. I didn't mean to intrude upon your home... [And so stunned is Youko, she simply turns to all those years of etiquette that got hammered into her from school. She gives a low, polite bow]

[nothing_is_grey]

[Eiki bows in response though only slightly as one of her position and status would do.]

You're not intruding, no doubt this is the house you have been assigned to by our kidnappers.

[ofroyalred]

[... It is far too early in the morning for this...]

... House I have been assigned by kidnappers...? Ah... [She's not dumb, but dear God and Maria-sama does her brain just not want to comprehend the situation.

Still going with the dream thing. Even if the lady said it wasn't]

But... why would they assign a house...? Where am I?

[nothing_is_grey]

It's hard to say why, it would seem they are trying to recreate a lie. As for where you are this town is called Mayfield, we are lead to believe it is some place in America and some time during the 1950s, though that's just for show.

[ofroyalred]

... How frustrating... [She raises a hand to rub at her temple... then apparently remembers the manners she forgot]

Oh, apologies. I suppose if this is the house I was... 'assigned' and if you are the same, I should introduce myself. I am... Mizuno Youko. Er... Japanese style... [Well... lady looks close enough, right? Regardless, she gives another bow]

[nothing_is_grey]

Shiki Eiki, Supreme Judge of Paradise.

[She also bows again in introduction.

A pleasure Youko.

[ofroyalred]

Pleasure is all mine.

[But it's just early morning enough to ask...]

Ah- Supreme Judge of Paradise? I truly do then apologize. I didn't realize I was in such esteemed company.

[nothing_is_grey]

There's no reason to apologize, it's not exactly an obvious thing to most people.

[ofroyalred]

I suppose it wouldn't be.

But then am I truly not dead? [She looks around, uncertain]

[nothing_is_grey]

You are not dead, at least as far as I am aware. This is not the afterlife and this is not Hell.

[ofroyalred]

Mm... I wonder, though, if it wouldn't may as well be Hell...

[nothing_is_grey]

It is a place far worse.

[ofroyalred]

... And here I thought I'd lived a relatively virtuous life... [She sighs] Apparently the punishment for not being a criminal is worse for those that are?

[nothing_is_grey]

This has nothing to do with the life that was lived, it's simply sadistic to all equally.

[ofroyalred]

...

That's... depressing.
