Application for Mai from "Mai-chan's Daily Life"

"K-kaede-san?" The young woman who'd just entered the room looked around in confusion. "Kaede-san, where am I?" This wasn't good. If Kaede found her missing... The woman shivered and straightened out her maid apron. She was pretty, with long brown hair tied up in a red bow. Her name was Mai, and she was lost.

"This isn't so bad. Just a room with a

You had him at cook.

"A good cook is nothing to be sneezed at."

[notapotato]

"Thanks!" Mai smiled real big. "I work as a maid, so I've been taught to prepare lots of dishes!"

[gourmetchairman]

"Really, what sort of dishes?"

[notapotato]

"Side dishes mostly, if we have a specialty cook come in. I do most of the daily cooking. I'm not that good at anything non-local though," she said, looking off to the side in embarrassment at the last part.

[ringo_raver]

"Why wouldn't it be a question?"

[notapotato]

What was that?

W-w-w-wwhat was that?

"I-ya, I-ya...p-please...d-d-don't e-e-eat me...."

[ringo_raver]

Ryuk laughed heartily. "She thinks I'm going to eat her!"

[notapotato]

The laugh just made Mai edge away more. "Th-then what are you gonna do?"

[woocha]

Can I have the bow? It would look pretty on my collar.

[notapotato]

Let's all say it together now:

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW~

Mai kneeled down in front of the dog, half startled, and half overwhelmed by the cute.

"Wow, you talk! Um, of course! D-do you want me to put it on?" In anime lingo; she was totally sweatdropping.

[woocha]

Yeah, he gets that a lot.

Sure! Wishbone steps forward closer to Mai so she can put it on properly.

[notapotato]

Mai bit her lip as she carefully tied the bow on, trying not to do anything offensive, like ruffle his fur. "So...um...do all dogs talk around here?"

"Cheddar? Cheddar? Every time someone claims a fondness for that insipid clot of casein, I know they're too uncreative to find a single braincell to name a cheese that isn't CRAMMED DOWN THEIR THROAT in every commercial, on every menu, at every turn..."

Oh yeah, Mai knew that look. That was the look Kaede gave her whenever she'd really messed up...times ten.

"Ahh! I-I didn't...I'm sorry! I'm sorry! P-please, I don't wanna be squibbed!" She hugged herself and shook, waiting for an inevitable bad thing to happen.

He wasn't about to tell her that it seemed that no one actually did get squibbed, that no matter how pathetic a specimen she was, he wouldn't have the chance to bind her to the slab in his little hut off-campus and get creative with the odds and ends he'd been collecting.

"Stop your whining! What kind of miserable parody is this? You make my head hurt!"

"I'm sorry!" she exclaimed, though in a more subdued tone. "I-I really didn't mean to..."

"No, you're not being particularly helpful," Moggett snarked from down by Mai's feet. He'd been having a nice nap when she'd woken him up. "What is it with human females and squealing?" the small white cat-creature continued in a gumbling tone. He peered up at Mai with bright green eyes. "Do you actually do anything without someone telling you to do it first?"

[notapotato]

Another talking animal. This was starting to get too weird. Had Kaede pumped her full of hallucinogens again? "I-I don't really know. I'm not supposed to do anything I'm not told to do..."

[8thbrightshiner]

"Why not? Are you incapable of thinking for yourself?" the cat responded acidly. "Because that's the way you're behaving."

[notapotato]

"I can!" Mai retorted, "I just....I was raised not to."
