Hired Help: the meme.

The Hired Help Meme

Maids and butlers, everybody. Maids and butlers. Every slacker and superhero with a cave for a basement has dreamed of being serviced (or "serviced") by a talented, dedicated, devoted, determined, half-magical jack-of-all-trades that can cook and clean and maybe even defend the manor house or closet-sized apartment. Now, all the hopefuls out there will get the chance to experience the joy of hiring someone on to do all the work they don't want to do!

And for those of you that have dreamed the opposite, that long only to serve and love, here at last is your opportunity! Oh, you don't want to be one? At all? Too bad!

How this works:
→ Leave a comment with character name and fandom in the subject line. Any preferences, including what you don't want (i.e "no smut") should be included in the comments section.
→ Place "LOOKING FOR HELP" in the subject line if you would like a maid or butler of your very own.
→ Place "LOOKING FOR WORK" in the subject line if you would like to be a maid or butler (consent, however, is optional).
→ Congratulations and welcome to the world of servitude.
→ Tag around.
→ Have fun and be excellent to each other!

Meme inspired by and modified from the original meme on TLH. Feedback appreciated.

If anything smut should happen, then M/M please.

Everybody ought to have a maid,
Everybody ought to have a working girl,
Everybody ought to have a lurking girl
To putter around the house.

Everybody ought to have a maid,
Everybody ought to have a menial
Consistently congenial
And quieter than a mouse...

[ ooc; no smut please & if you want to specify a canon point i've only read the first three books! ♥ ]

[Technically she's more of a bodyguard, but the idea is still the same.]

[M/F when it comes to smut, (unless you happen to be Edgeworth.) Lawyers need $$$ too.]

[THIS MAN WAS BORN TO BE A BUTLER. LOOK AT HIM.]

[And you'll like it...]

[Godspeed to the poor Maid/Butler that answers...]

( ooc; looking for work. Will go completely au for this. Also, past taggers are always welcomed. )

[Can be either one, maid or employer. She'll be surprised if she's the employer, unless you'd prefer some sort of AU where she's ~~hoity toity and~~ rich.]

[ Alayne Stone is looking for work. Sansa Stark is looking for help. Please clarify which in your comment; this will determine pull-point! ]

[Either looking for work or help! He can be either role!]

[Naturally, because she's a maid by trade and a 'pharmacist' on the side. She just happens to forget which is which sometimes.]

[You get a letter in the mail. There's no address on the envelope, no postage, just red text spelling out "A Most Sincere Offer" on the front. Just picking it up leaves you with a sense of foreboding, but should you open it, you will find the following message printed on very old, faded paper, in (mostly) pitch black ink:]

To my beloved Master,

Should you find yourself in need of assistance in your daily life, if you feel you are missing something important from your world, a void which cannot be filled, please consider this most sincere of offerings.

Merely sign at the bottom of this parchment, and your devoted, obedient servant ^OZOI shall appear before you. You will be well tended to, Master. Our care shall improve your life and fill your soul with warmth. YOU DESERVE THIS.

[Good luck, he's not an easy man to work for, but that's all part of the fun. m/m if smut happens.]

Well, this was the only possible place to be at the address given.

Campbell Bain looked one way and then the other down the dingy road, shrugged his shoulders, and then hurried across the street before knocking on the door. A very rough, rugby-sort of fellow answered the door and yanked him inside for a frisking that Campbell felt was very uncalled for.

"Oi now!" the young Scot squawked, readjusting his jean jacket like a ruffled chicken, and held up the wanted advert he'd been given from a friend of a friend. "M'jus' here abou' the job offer, yeah? No need t' get all handsy."
