Hayate... this... thing is making growling noises at me.

[A typical day at the Yagami house, and the Wolkenritter, not that anyone knows about it, are having a really really bad day. Signum was staring at the washing machine, like it was about to attack her, and it was foaming. Hayate rolled into view and sighed.]

Oh dear, you overloaded it! Hold on, help me remove some of the clothing.

[As the pair did so, another voice cut in.]

Hayate! The box thing is being noisy again!

[Rolling back to see Vita trying desperately to make the TV cooperate, she giggled a little.]

That's because you have it turned up too loud! Turn it down a little with the volume control.

[A cut to the outside, and the "family dog" is sweeping the front lawn with his tail, and throwing dust everywhere. Everyone is making a mess.]

[Hayate's patience is vast, but as she rolls out, there's a gout of flame from the stove.]

KYAAAAAH! Hayate help!

Shamal has basically lit a pan on fire and she was flailing around, smoke going everywhere and the smoke alarm blaring.]

[Thankfully Hayate got it under control as she sighed.]

Shamal I think we're going to have to teach you how to heat a pan first before you cook.

Sorry...

(ooc: there is no Reinforce in this picture why do you ask?)

... I kinda have to wonder why your relative that actually knows how to do chores didn't come with them.

Ah heh, well that is to say... they're all rich so... you know, they've never really done this sort of thing before... servants and all...

Oh. I guess they couldn't... bring some of them with them. I mean, you're house has a lot of space, but I don't think there's that much.

Yeah. I mean, I heard we were well off before mom and dad died, but really, it was surprising. Shamal keeps burning pots and pans.

...Maybe you should have someone else try to do the cooking then?

Your relatives are a little...

Bad at housework? Yeaaaaah.... they're learning though!

And I thought I needed help.

Well they had servants before this. So it's really not surprising.

Oh yeah, they're rich people, right? Honoka's grandma knows how to cook, but Karen has people do stuff for her.

At least it looks like you're all getting along. But do they need some help?

A few lessons wouldn't hurt. I'm doing my best but it's tough for them to adjust.

Well, some of us might be able to help them, if you think they need it.

You think so? All right, I'll do that then! If anyone wants to come over and help, they're free to do so.

Maybe a more specific call might help. Like someone to help with cooking, or pet-sitting.

Oh, dear, is everypony okay?

Well it could be better. It's a little troublesome but I think we're starting to sort out the chores.

Oh. If only my friend Twilight were on here, then she could help. She's wonderful at organization.

I'm sure we can handle it, but if not I'll be asking people for help. They're not good at cooking, that's for sure.

Maybe they just need practice...?

Are those your relatives, Hayate-chan?

Yes they are! They're not used to doing chores though, so it'll take some time for them to learn.

Are washing machines that different in Germany or are they just really rich?

Our family is pretty rich actually. When I'm not using the stipend from Mr. Graham, I'm living on my own funds which is a considerable amount.

Oh, wow!

It's great that your relatives are trying so hard, at least.
