03 | Video

[The video feed opens up to panning between two rooms in Baldr house - 201 and 203 specifically. They're refurnished to fit his preference, aka pretty classy, rich guy stuff, as he would put it himself. Don't ask how he got it. Just. Don't.]

Hey, so I'm cleaning up these rooms, trying to make 'em into one big one for myself. Anyone wanna help me tear down this wall? Uh, someone who can make keys would be pretty good too. Have to pick the lock every time I want to get in. It's not like anybody's using them, so it's fine if I do, right?

Maybe I should be advertising my sweet bachelor pad for the lonely women of Asgard, heheh. [He grins. It's only half-joking...] Haven't had a dry spell since I was about fifteen, geez...

Anyway, hey, Ange, you get bored of staying with those freaks in your house, come hang out with your old man! Nobody ever visits me, it's not like I'm in a home.

My word! What kind of demolition job doesn't get a little bit dirty? You certainly are demanding!

[not that she wouldn't say the same thing in his shoes - either way, she can settle some of the dust with her TK]

Hey, if you're gonna use magic, I figure you can do it! Don't want to have to hire a maid!

See, there you go, was that really all that hard?

Tch. Humans are so ungrateful. This is only the same magic as everyone else in this land possesses. It isn't as if i can clean as I would back home.

[Even so, she's using her TK to nudge the dirt into a neat pile. GOD, Rudolf, it's like you have your own personal fairy godmother here]

Does this House not already employ a maid staff?

[Cinderudolf, Cinderudolf...]

Oh. Guess it does. You think they'd come in here even if I'm not supposed to be using the place?

Why not ask? It seems simpler than cleaning it yourself.

I'd kind of be worried they'd just take it away if I brought it up.

The wall is already down. What could they do?

They could put it back up and take all my stuff! Then it'd all be for nothing!

Then perhaps you should put out a request to the general populace, asking if any of them would like to be your furniture.

...Furniture? I don't need human furniture, that some kind of thing witches're into?

Haven't you noticed what your own father calls his servants, Rudolf?

Not really. That old nutjob doesn't even come out of his room!

Point taken! He doesn't, does he?

Does he call them that? Sounds more like a slave than a servant.

Of course he does!

I believe Ronove would object to that classification. They are servants - they simply have very strict rules.

Yeah? Like what? What's the difference?

The degree of professionalism, of course!

I dunno, sounds the same to me. Why can't you just call them servants if that's what they are? Furniture sure sounds degrading.

Because it is our choice what we call them, of course. Besides which, furniture implies they are more than just human servants, although that is the closest equivalent.

That's one thing for you, but, for dad?

If there is one thing Ushiromiya Kinzo is good at, it is the construction of furniture.

...Right. Dad's a real carpenter, I'm telling you.

Saa, that's a good pun! Very good!

[clap clap]

That what he cooped himself up with all those magic books for? Just to make some shelves?

And tables, too, of course.
