I have a request to make of the good people of this island, and I hope someone will help.

I am very...ill at the moment, and am unable to do simple chores like housework and cleaning. I am not a messy person, but I happen to live with someone who would win the gold medal in Olympic Slobbery. Seriously. Perfect tens.

Would someone be willing to help me keep the house in order? I am sure that something could be worked out for payment, and I would be most grateful.

[Filtered to Thomas Raith, later]

I have someone coming to help me clean the house.

	I can help, if you need it. I'd like to get out of my own house for a little while. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'm Justine. You'd think with just me and Thomas in the house, it wouldn't be such a mess. But that would mean you didn't know Thomas. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thomas is my brother, and he's a good guy, but you won't like his particular brand of sexy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He's pretty, and he knows it. But he doesn't like to be touched. (ooc: Thomas is an incubus! Read here for info on how Peggy should react IC to Thomas) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Miss Peggy, ma'am, just let me know if the task is insurmountable for one person alone, alright? It sounds like a bloody nightmare, really, and - well, I feel bad for Miss Justine, here living in such squalor - and with her so ill, as well...! I mean, honestly, I can remember what it was like to be too bloody weak to get out of bed, to so much as a toss away something in the bin...!

	Thank you, sir. It is not pleasant to live in such filth, no. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, I'm not a "sir", at all, really! Just... call me Neil please, Miss Justine, ma'am...! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ourloveburnsus 2013-07-03 12:38 am UTC (link)
	I definitely don't need the 'miss', ~~sir~~, Neil. It's just Justine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	your_caretaker 2013-07-03 12:44 am UTC (link)
	Alright, then, Miss -- I mean, Justine...! Sorry! And believe me, I know what's it like to live in such filth, really... Because ~~that's how I lived, when I faked my death...~~ I mean, that's how I used to live...! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ourloveburnsus 2013-07-03 12:46 am UTC (link)
	I guess you can't blame him, really. He grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth and never learned to take care of himself. It's a wonder he can dress himself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Wow.... I wish... I only wish I could understand that idea of a lifestyle...! I mean, I grew up... rather poor, really, from a single mom, you know? I never had much; I even worked to help my mom out, from the time I legally could! ~~I mean, I would have done illegal child labour for my mom, just to give her a damned BREAK, if she'd let me...!~~ I mean... I even died because we ran up against the insurance caps for chemo treatments!

Of course, I came back to life, here... For some strange reason... I dunno, really!

	I'm sorry to hear that. I grew up on the South Side Chicago, in an apartment with a roof that leaked in the winter, and cockroaches. Ran away when I was fourteen, got into drugs and the like, did lots of stuff I'm not proud of, before Bianca found me. But Thomas found me, then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thomas? That's the slob, isn't he...? I mean, no offense, ~~ma'am~~ Justine. Obviously you love him, after all...! Anyway's, I completely understand about what you described... a lot better than I can understand Thomas's upbringing, rather... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
