Hello!

I hope this isn't too odd of a post, but I'd like to offer my services as a professional housekeeper while I'm still looking for a steady job. I have almost ten years of experience in this line of career, so I know my way around a duster or two. And I'm great at getting all kinds of stains out of rugs and clothes.

I can either do a one-time cleaning of your place, cook up a meal for you, or teach you some tips and tricks to do either yourself for a small fee.

If there's anything else you might need the expertise of a housekeeper for, I'd be happy to help.

Oh, and my name's Thoma for reference!

[ a reply comes through immediately. ] I'm interested!

[wayofthehousekeeper]

Great! What could I help with you?

[noarchitact]

Both your housekeeping service and a crash course on the very same.

[wayofthehousekeeper]

Alright. I should be able to clean and teach you a few tricks within just a few hours, if you have some free time within the next week.

[noarchitact]

[ nooo. he needs this now! he's not sure he could convince him to start cleaning immediately, but he may at least try for the training. ]

How about today! For your tips and tricks!

[wayofthehousekeeper]

Oh, do you have an emergency situation?

[noarchitact]

[ no, not really… ] Yes! I need to turn things around immediately or my roommate is going to kick me to the curb.

[warmwelcomes]

Please teach me!!!!

[wayofthehousekeeper]

I'd be happy to. Were you interested in cooking or cleaning?

[warmwelcomes]

Really!? Thanks so much!! I'm interested in both, so the full course, I guess!

[wayofthehousekeeper]

Got it. Then how about we schedule a time to meet for a few hours? We can meet at your place, if you don't mind it, to go over where we should start.

[warmwelcomes]

Yeah, that sounds great! I'm available any time, really. Just let me know what works for you!

[wayofthehousekeeper]

How about tomorrow then? And if there's any particular foods you don't like, it'd help me out in picking a simple recipe to teach.

You...you want to clean people's houses?!

[ Please. Was this guy sent from heaven!? ]

I really like everything clean...so maybe you could help out? [ He doesn't want to sound too eager but honestly this is kind of great. ]

[wayofthehousekeeper]

[ Honestly Thoma is more than happy to see people taking him up on his offer. ]

Yeah, I'm good at it so I thought it best to lean into my strengths.

I'd be happy to help out though! I take pride in being able to say I can leave a place spotless if you'd prefer.

[mysophobic]

Well there's nothing wrong with that! I'm a doctor back home so I was thinking of joining a clinic. Using your strengths to help out in a strange new world isn't a bad thing.

But I really...like everything clean so any extra help I could get would be great.

[wayofthehousekeeper]

[ Clean according to a medical professional's standard would be a new challenge for him... but he's honestly rather intrigued to see if he could meet those standards. ]

Then I'll do the best I know.

Would you be available to meet up anytime so you could show me your place?

[mysophobic]

Well I'm usually home later in the evenings but otherwise on the weekends I'm free, if that works for you!

[wayofthehousekeeper]

A weekend works well. I wouldn't want to disturb you after work.

I have recently become the sole caretaker for my
master's household
and would appreciate the 'tips and tricks' you mentioned.
I do not wish for my master to strain his magic use taking care of minor spills and stains.

[wayofthehousekeeper]

Oh, of course!

Do you often have to deal with stains and spills then? And what sort?

[somniacs]

Not often, as we are both careful.
However, there are times when I fall asleep while preparing food,
and it ends up burning the stovetop.
Then I have trouble cleaning the charred remains from the pot afterwards.

And there was another time where I fell asleep while mopping and knocked the
bucket onto the pristine wood floor of our dormitory...

[wayofthehousekeeper]

[ Uhmmm... buddy? ]

Oh, I see... well, I could start with teaching you how to clean a dirty pot like that.

But uh, are you often tired during the day?

[somniacs]

[ He knows it's weird too. ]

It's an affliction I've had since I was young.
I can fall asleep anywhere at any time,
but it seems to occur when it's least convenient.

I'd also be open to tips on staying awake.

[wayofthehousekeeper]

I don't know if I'd have much to offer you if it's been a life long affliction... I assume you've spoken with doctors already, but given that there's people from other worlds here, it might be worth seeing if there are any doctors here who could advise you.

[ If it were just an on and off things, Thoma would have plenty of suggestions there, but this sounded a lot more serious than he could help with. ]

I know some good tea brews for giving energy though. And maybe touching someone might help as well.
