Brrrrrrm. Brrrrrrrrm.
"OH BUT YOU SAY YOU DO BUT YOU NO DO BUT YOU SAYYYYYY YOUUU DOOO!" Estrelas hollered over the dull roar of the vacuum cleaner. She hadn't really remembered the words of the song, but she got close enough to whatever was playing on the radio.
Angel the Rabbit skidded after the vacuum cleaner's head, snorting and feinting with her little rabbity rage.
"YOUUU NOOOO LIKE ME?" Estrelas continued to bellow to an approximation of the tune. "WELL AH NO LIKE YOU EITHER!" So, that part was totally her own version. But still.
"WHY WHY WHY? WHY- oops." Estrelas turned around as the vacuum cleaner spluttered to a stop, then noticed that the plug had been pulled out. "Aieee! Why you ele-city spirits do this to me?" she moaned, plugging it into another outlet, then continued vacuuming and singing. "WHY WHY WHHHHHYYYYY?"
Combined with everything, it was a complete auditory nuclear bomb that could be heard through the whole floor of the headquarters.

 There was something really...loud happening today. It was a long while, full of horrid sounds from the deepest dens of the Lair of Evil. All the demons must've awoken, and are trying to attack LOTUS now. And betheen all that, some poor girl was clearly attacked by them. He heard her loud "NO DOOOO", so she clearly was yelling for help. And there was no one around to ask for said help. So apparently, Hyo must do. He took a deep breath. Terrible demons... But apparently, here in LOTUS they aren't as fearsome as in Korea, or everyone wouldn't react so calmly when something weird happened, like people in little boxes... So he grabbed the first thing he saw that he could beat the demons with (which just happened to be a broom), and run towards the source of the shrieking, running into the room and screaming "YOU NO DO THAT!!!"... ...but apparently, the demons were already done. There was only the girl with a weird animal, and some sort of weird thing she was holding. And it was quiet. So Hyo just looked around, blinking in a confused way, still holding his broom. ...where are the demons..?

Estrelas snorted and yanked the vacuum cord out when Hyo came into hollering "YOU NO DO THAT!"
But her shock turned into glee as she saw the broom he was carrying.
"OHHH YOU THE GIRL WHO SAY SHE HELP ME! YOU THE GIRL! YOU HELP ME, YES, YES, YES?" Estrelas yelled, prancing over to Hyo and grabbing him by the shoulders. "OHHH AH THANK YOU! NOW YOU HELP ME, YOU DO, YOU DO?"
Without waiting for a reply, Estrelas shoved a large feather duster into Hyo's face. "YOU SEE WINDOW? YOU SEE WINDOW? YES YOU DO! YOU DO SEE! WELL YOU DUST WINDOW, YOU HELP ME! THANK YOU THANK YOU! WE CLEAN FAST, AND WE CLEAN SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD MISTA SIAN COME IN AND SAY YOU CLEAN SO GOOD AND CLEAN, ESTRELAS AND-" She stopped, letting her words ring into silence. "...So.. Who you?" she asked boldly.
Immediately, Angel's eyes widened, and in a clean white blur, she snarled and charged Hyo, her face an expression in rabbity fury.

...so apparently, the girl didn't need help with demons. She needed help with cleaning. As she kept taalking and talking (in a very loud and unladylike way, though somehow, not that scary), Hyo's face gradually turned into a calm smile. This was something he could do. Even though there were servants for everything in the House, he spent countless hours doing various chores. A proper lady should always be able to keep her home tidy. And even though the equipment to do it might differ, the basics are always the same. He took the feathery item, which was practically shoven in his face (so much, that for a moment he was wondering if he should EAT the thing), and was going to anwser, when his mind registered something. Without thinking much, the broom in his hands moved quickly, landing in such way, that the white thunder going her way must've landed head-deep into the broom's hair. "Me name is Hyo." He smiled towards the dirl, his free hand on his heart, with a move that stayed with him from the first day he started learning engrish. "Good meet, radee Esu...Esutereras?" He smiled once again, and bowed slightly. Then his gaze went back to the white thunder. "Should not animars be in the not-house...?" He...wasn't really sure of that sentence. Hopefully the girl will understand. Things that end up as supper shouldn't be walking freely around the house.

Estrelas got a good look at the strange newcomer. The girl appeared to be young, possibly around her own age, and knew how to clean. That was enough for her. Satisfied, Estrelas switched the vacuum on again, and it roared back into noisy action.
Angel snorted loudly as she charged face-first into the broomhead, then leapt out and snarled.
"Angelle! No!" Estrelas snapped, waving the end of the vacuum cleaner at the large rabbit, drawing out a steady stream of flying shedded fur. "Angel, you no do that!" The Portuguese woman turned to the girl and grinned. "'la, Ho!" she exclaimed happily, butchering the pronunciation horribly. "Ho, Ho, Ho, that is sound, no? Bird make sound- ho-hooo." Hyo's words went over her head a bit.
"Ah sorry for Angel, Ho! But you see, Angel normally only attack men. It funny! She no attack girl." Estrelas chuckled.

The future supper had a name. And apparently, it wasn't supper at all. Hyo looked at the animal dubiously, and in the end decided to ignore it. He put the broom away for now, fixed the feathery cleaning thing in his hand, and started cleaning the windows. Not a grain of dust, not a spot of dirt was allowed to stay. A proper lady always, ALWAY takes her cleaning seriously. And that's what he did, cleaning window after window after window. Well... At least that's what he wanted to do. But then, he heared this monstrous THING the girl was holding howling like a beast from the deepest pits of hell. "A DEMON! IT BACK! I KILL IT" The boy shouted, grabbing his broom once again. And then he attacked the vile vacuum cleaner.

Angel growled a bit at Hyo but went back to washing her ears.
"WHAT? DEMON? WHAT WHAT WHAT?" Estrelas hollered, yanking up the vacuum cleaner and whirling around to face the direction Hyo was facing. "WHAT WHAT? DEMON WHERE? AH KILL IT TOO! AH KILL IT TOO!" she screeched, waving the vacuum cleaner (which was still on) in the air and leaving a long scratch along the paint of one wall. "YOU SAY? YOU SAY? WHERE?"

"HERE! BY THE GODS, IT'LL EAT YOUR HAND!!!!!!" Hyo once again hit the vacuum cleaner with his broom, and since it didn't stop howling, continued. Man, this demon is a vital one! How come it didn't fall silent yet?! He jumped on top of the vacuum, and hit it really, really hard, almost breaking the broom. "DIE, FOUL BEAST!!!!!"

"DIE FOUL BEAST!" Estrelas repeated shrilly, following Hyo's example out of the sheer momentum of the moment. "YOU DEMON BE GO BACK-" She suddenly stopped, then gaped as Hyo leapt on top of the vacuum's head and hit it! "HEY! WHAT YOU DO? WHAT YOU DO?" Estrelas hollered. "WHY YOU SITTING ON MY VAKOOM CLEANER?"
Meanwhile, Angel wondered why they were the dominant species and how they got there in the first place.

One moment, he was close to defeating the fearsome beast. The other, he was standing on it, mouth slightly opened (in a very unladylike way, so he closed them quickly), and listening to the girl suddenly screaming at HIM. "...uakuuuuum-kuriiina?" He tried to repeat the weird words the woman spoke, and blinked. Just what could they mean? Is this a name of some sort..? "Uakuuuuum-kuriiina, no demon..? But it scream demon, it not eat us...?"

Estrelas shook the vacuum cleaner a few times before it finally spluttered to a start.
Then she got the demonic, maniac look in her eyes that only happened when she felt that she knew something someone else didn't.
"OHHHHHH THIS IS VACKOOM CLEANER!" she hollered in Hyo's face, beaming like a million suns. "VAAAH-KOOM! When Ah first come here, Ah thing it monster too! BUT IT IS MACHINE! Machine is thing that have eleck-city in it, and eleck-city is little monsters that run along black ropes-" She waved the cable in Hyo's face, "-And it make thing do things! But it can also kill you! And in Main Hall, there is King and Queen Eleck-City, and they live in palace called Sirkut Box!" Estrelas's face was barely centimeters away from Hyo's face now.
"AND WATCH THIS!" Estrelas emptied out a fistful of crumbs onto the carpet. "DIRTY, SEE?" Then she rolled the vacuum cleaner over it, picking up all the crumbs. "CLEAN NOW!" She whirled around to face Hyo as if she were expected awe and applause.

And the awe and applause happened. Because this uakuuuuum-kuriiina was the single most amazing thing that Hyo ever saw. Ofcourse, there are spirits and demons and mages who can do wondrous things, but this... this were monsters made to do a human's bidding. And they did cleaning without fighting back. He moved closer to the uakuuuuum's hole, and got sucked in a bit, which resulted with a quick jump back and a shy laughter. "This uakuuuuum-kuriiina amazeeng! Ma-cheen and erek-seety, I remember! Very good, much very good, you so suu-mart! How you know how use uakuuuuum-kuriiina? Only you? Can I use uakuuuuum-kuriiina too...?" "...And shourd we go King and Ku-een Erek-seety thank, thank so much for herp, they herp us rots uith ther erek-seety..?"

Somehow, Estrelas made perfect sense of his English. "YESS YESS AH VERY SMART, YOU SEE, YOU SEE?" she crowed, flushing happily because Hyo made her feel not like an idiot for once. Showing off, she ran the vacuum over a patch of dirt and leaving the carpet clean. "YOU SEE? Future have so many thing that so GOOD! They make everything! It do work for you!" Estrelas bubbled happily. "SURE YOU CAN USE IT! You push back and forth! And it go!" With those directions, she shoved the handle into Hyo's hands.
Estrelas stopped when Hyo mentioned thanking the Elek-City Rulers. "You right! ...YOU RIGHT, HO!" she exclaimed. Huh! Truthfully, Estrelas had never really thought about thanking Elek-City, or anyone for that matter. "You see that dirt? YOU SEE? YOU VAKOOM CLEANER IT UP AND THEN WE GO TO SIRKAT BOX!"

"Then that wha uee do!" The boy smiled, took the uakuuuuum from her hands, and started cleaning the dirt, back and forth, back and forth, amazed with the magical abilities of the kuriiina thing. These erek-seety monsters are really obedient, the one who keeps them working must be really, really powerful... ...and thus, in only a little part of time that he usually needed for cleaning, the room was spotless. He once again looked in awe at the uakuuuuum-kuriiina, and handed it to Esutureras. "This uakuuuuum much, much, much amazeeng, yuu amazeeng too, work it rike that! Saank yuu so so much ret me use eet!" He smiled to the girl "Now uee go make offereeng to King and Ku-een Erek-seety, and go thaank them much?"

Estrelas beamed at the amazement on Hyo's face. "Oh, yes, yes, it very nice," she said, trying to sound cool and indifferent, as if she saw miracles like that everyday. But she ended up grinning like a maniac. "Yes, yes, amazing! EVERYTHING SO AMAZING!" she hollered, grabbing Hyo's hands and swinging him around in a dance. "YOU SEE, AND THEY HAVE FOOD IN BOX! YOU PUT IT IN MIKAWAY AND IT COME OUT LIKE MAMA COOK!" she continued, then stopped. "Yes, we go- yes, we bring gift to Sirkat Box," she said matter-of-factly, and dug in her pocket. "Yes, we do. We go!" Estrelas turned off the vacuum cleaner and grabbed Hyo's hand again.
"WE GO!" she repeated, then charged down the hallway to the circuit box.
Angel snorted as the vacuum cleaner stopped, but only glared at Hyo furiously before hopping after them. Humans were amusing sometimes, but more often than not, they were just annoying.
