Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

It has been a week since we visited the tailor in town and since then, it has been the topic of their talk. They talked about it as if it was a completely new thing to them. Such to the point it confused me greatly. The girls had to have gone through town to even reach the manor, and yet here they are talking about it as something new. They had came to me not long after the return from town asking if they could have permission to walk around the town whenever I had business in town. I certainly didn't mind it, but I still had no idea as to who exactly they were and I definitely don't want to attract and unnecessary attention. I agreed to let them, on the request they wear something other than their usual outfits.

I looked up from my papers upon my desk when I heard the study's door slowly creak open. Maya walked in and gave a small bow and came up to the desk. She looked at me and handed a small paper. I looked at the paper and saw it was a check list. Maya is quite organized and tends to create lists whenever the girls do the various tasks in the manor. "Thank you Maya." I gave a glance over the list to see what they have been doing all this time then set the paper down. I don't really care if they actually do the manor cleaning. I certainly didn't mind when I was alone. They are stubborn however and will still do it none the less. "I have something to do in town today. If you and the other would like to tag along, you may." I stood from my desk, organizing my papers before putting them away.
"Of course lord. I'm sure everyone would love to accompany you." She gave another bow.
"Good, have everyone meet me at the front of the manor. I shall be there shortly."

Even though my life seems to have taken a strange turn, I can't forget the work I do. I recently received word from the local gunsmith. He said that my order was complete and also said he had an idea on a new service from his shop. I was skeptical on the 'service' but i packed up my stuff and grabbed my suitcase before heading out. "Why does it feeling like something is going to happen today?"

We reached town and Maya and the other took off around town as I headed straight for the gunsmith. I pushed the door open which in turn rang the small brass bell over the door. "Welcome to McVerin's." A man called out from the small workshop in the back. I closed the door behind me and tapped the counter twice. Almost immediately an elderly man stepped through the worn wooden frame leading from the workshop to the main store.
"Ah Raven. Glad to see you. Your order is ready." Mr. McVerin reaches down behind the counter and brings up a suitcase and sets it upon the glass counter. He soon opens the suitcase and spins it towards me. Inside were several cases of bullets. Special bullets custom built for my expertise. "These were quite the challenge. The Orichalcum and Nano bullets." He smiled and wiped some sweat from his forehead. I inspected the bullets and shortly after tested a few of each. The Orichalcum bullets were able to penetrate any object with easy. The Nano bullets on the other hand were hollowed bullets with nano machines filled inside that would result in some major damage before self destructing leaving absolutely no trace.

"Most Impressive. Now though, what is this service you mentioned?" I closed the case before looking at him.
"Ah yes, I have recently been getting a number of buyers talking about competing figures and organizations. In other words, I was thinking of you become a sort of assassin."
"I see, they come here looking to rid of a pest and you direct them to me. Indeed a most cunning plan and profitable one." I nodded to him in agreement and switched my suitcase with his before leaving out the door and heading back to the car.

I was slowly approaching the car and noticed that the girls weren't around yet. I figured that they hadn't returned from their stroll around town. At least, that is what I thought until I reached the car. The girls were bent over what appears to be two other girls. "What exactly is going on you three?" I called out to them I came around the car. As I reached them the two girls stood up and were almost as tall as me. The two girls were dressed very formally, with dresses. They were also exact opposites of each other, at least in the color scheme of their dress and hair. One was dressed in a creamy white and blue and the other with burnt black and red, but what was the most absurd thing was that they had ears!
"What the hell...?!"
"Nyaaaah!" The dark dressed girl cried.
"Are they....cats!?!"
"Can we keep them?" Karen pleaded give me a sad look. Suddenly the two 'girls' flew over and leaned on either side of Karen giving the same look she was. I was confused and frantic of the situation that I gave a yes before shove them all into the car.

It's already been several weeks since the three girls became a part of the manor. Despite having to care to the house, they seem to be enjoying everything they do. Whether it is actually how they feel or not, I have no clue. Ever since their arrival every day has been different. Waking up to the usual silence I had once welcomed, I was now waking up to one of the girls opening my curtains. It has become a more lively place, and much noisier. I have also been able to get to know the girls that now reside within my manor. Maya, is a very formal girl. She is extremely refined and treats everything seriously. She seems to be like a head figure for the girls, even before they came here. Karen, is mostly the opposite. She is very much a hassle and is quite energetic. She doesn't speak in a "respecting way" as Maya puts it and usual causes the problems. Mui on the other hand is a very shy and closed girl. Just trying to say "Hi" was a hassle. Eventually I learned that she doesn't speak to others at all and will only speak to Maya. She usually follows Maya around like a shadow.

Not long after they arrived I had contacted a close friend of mine, a tailor, and had explained a hypothetical situation to him. I asked him who he would recommend to do some fine women's tailoring. He chuckled for a bit before telling me of his daughter that owns a shop much like his on the other side of town. He said that she was famous and very talented. I asked him if he wouldn't mind sending word to his daughter that someone would be arriving. "The usual requirements?" He chuckled over the phone with his old voice. "Of course. Have her close the shop and look for someone dressed in black." I smiled before hang up the phone.

I had figured that they would probably like some more clothes than what they seem to be always wearing. I made my way of to their rooms to gather them to explain what I plan to do. As I walked towards the rooms I remembered the last conversation as a group we had. I had asked them about their past and what they plan to do after they had stabilized themselves. Maya had spoken for them all by saying that they were not sure of where they had exactly came from but that they had only visited my manor and no other. She also explained that even though it was my decision, they had no wish to ever leave and would like to stay within the manor and live amongst me. It didn't bother me at all and agreed to let them become part of the family.

I eventually reached their rooms and called to them. "Hey girls, might I have a moment of your time?" Slowly they came out of their rooms and met me in the hallway. "What is it lord?" Maya spoke softly. "I would like you to accompany me to town. We are going to be visiting an acquaintance of mine. She is a tailor and will be helping you three pick out some more clothes." I had spoken to them with a cheerful voice. They had been mostly stuck with their usual outfits as well as some other casual clothes that had been around the manor. I figured that since they are living here now they need to have more of a section. I gazed upon their faces as they were filled with joy and they talked about different cute outfits they could think of.

After a few hours, we had arrived at the shop. As I had asked, the store was closed and the owner was waiting by the doors. She gave a glance our direction as I slowly got out of my vehicle. I leaned back into the car to tell the girls to wait a second before proceeding to the front of the store. "Good day madame. Might you be Amy Starfield?". I had stopped in front of her and noticed that she had a slight expression of fear across her face. "Y-you are...Raven?!"

"I can't believe my father is friends with the most famous bounty hunter in the country." She half laughed leaning against the counter. She watched as the girls scurried around the shop looking at all the various styles of clothing. Maya and Mui spent a lot of time looking at elegant and formal dressing where as Karen spent looking around the more casual dress. "I'm surprised that someone like you would have settled down already. Haha! I mean you are still out there doing bounties aren't you?"
"They aren't mine."
"Oh? Whose are they?"
"They are actually homeless girls that I pretty much adopted. Strange enough though, I did research into these three girls and found nothing. No birth records or anything." I stood with a fixed look elsewhere in a deep thought.
"Hey master! What do you think?" Karen called to me. I turned my gaze to her and practically jumped back, taking the counter behind me out. Karen was wearing a very short pleated skirt, some fine lingerie and a very revealing top, showing off her outfit with various sexy and seductive poses.
"Master!?" Amy cried out giving me a death glare and raising her fist. "What is that all about!?"
"I-I can explain!" I stuttered looking back and forth between Karen and Amy. Of course all Karen could do was smile and giggle.

I gave a heavy sigh after falling to my bed. The day had finally come to an end and the theater was closed for a few more hours. The presence of sleep began to overwhelm me and soon found myself falling into a deep sleep.

I awoke to the usual silence that inhabits my room. I lay upon my king mattress and gaze about my room. The room wash filled with many antique and elegant objects. There were many bookcases and serene pictures. I lay upon my bed a little longer before removing myself to assess myself in a nearby mirror. I looked upon my figure as I wore my standard attire. I wore a black p-coat and trench coat mix with a hood, nice black slacks and dress shoes, as well as a white faceless mask with the only features being the eye holes. I adjusted my mask to ensure its presence was still there and not my imagination before proceeding to exit my room. I opened the door to the manors grand atrium. The walls were made of fine stone and marble with a milky white color. The floors were made entirely of elegant tiles. The atrium was the center of the manor, connecting all the rooms together. It was also the second largest spot within the house.

I worked my way to the grand stairs in the center of the atrium and proceeded down them. While descending to ground level I looked upon the furnishing of the vast room. Many couches, tables, chairs and bookshelves lined the walls, as well as many famous paintings. I had reached ground floor and stood for a minute to figure what to do before speaking aloud through my masks filtered voice modifier, that I was going to return to my study not far away. I hadn't gotten far before I heard the manor's bell ring. I turned and faced the front door, realizing the last time I had actually used it before approaching it. I tried to think of whom it might be and figured it was probably a new assistant since the last one was shot on the recent mission. All those who deal business with me know how to come inside. I reached for the door knob and opened the door, expecting to see a member of the BHO and instead found three young girls standing before me.

The girls looked to be at least sixteen if not younger. They all seemed to be dressed rather formally which sent a slight confusion of their purpose. One was dressed in a frilly black and white dress. She had long black hair, deep blue eyes, and almost pale colored skin. Next to her was one dressed more casually. She wore a black vest-like shirt with fingerless arm gloves, a black and red checkered skirt, and red and black striped knee-high socks. Her hair was golden blonde and tied into two long pony-tails. She had a sweet amber color and lightly tanned skin. Behind them stood the third. She was dressed much like the first girl but her dress was white. She had short light blue hair, golden yellow eyes, and peach colored skin. The three of them looked completely out of place from the world.

"Hi-ya sir. We three are homeless you see and could we stay here for a little while?" Said the second girl in rather cheerful voice, while looking up at me with seductive like eyes. "I'm sorry Lord." The first girl bowed as I turned my gaze upon her. "My name is Maya, and we ask for a place to stay for a little while. We'll even offer ourselves if just for whatever you can give." I stood there for a minute just trying to figure out what was going on exactly. I couldn't see exactly why they were homeless, I mean they certainly don't appear homeless. I began to think that a little company in the manor would be good. If they are offering themselves to any service? I could take them as maids I suppose. I mean the manor isn't exactly well kept. "I suppose I could some maids, that is if your up for the task." I said to them in a monotone. "We are very grateful for whatever you give us." The three of them bowed and shortly after I ushered them inside and closed the door.

"Well, now that you've agreed, you each will be given your own rooms near each other and you can do whatever you like to them. You will also have access to the manors food and can make whatever you wish. You are also welcomed to the table when eating. You will even earn pay and you can stay for as long as you like." I explained to them and showing them to their rooms. "Whoa! Are you serious?!" The second girl shouted in joy, grabbing my arm and looking up at me with lit eyes. "Of course, It is only me living here so all these empty rooms are currently going to waste, plus I'd rather consider you a part of the family rather than just maids."

"We are very grateful for all that you have provided us. A room, food, and even pay." The first girl looked down realizing that their luck has changed greatly. "Oh but we have yet fully introduced ourselves. I'm, as I've said before, Maya. This here is Karen and behind me is Mui."

"It is nice to meet you three. I do not expect you to do anything today. You can rest and eat today and begin work tomorrow." I stood and watched as the three of them head off into their rooms, smiling at their new home.

So a close friend of mine (whom is aware of my dream scenarios) had said something along the lines that how my dream kept playing out, that it would be a cool idea for a story. Well, at least attempt to put into a continuous story starting from the introduction of the first characters into my dream to the current situation. For those of you that have no idea what im referring to, click the link below to take you to my Dream Log.



I didnt think it would be interesting, but now after like a month I have begun thinking it would be at least somewhat interesting, to those that care. I have decided to do so and make the dream into a story format :3
