MistressViper: waving a vintage game cartridge "Check it, slave. Another mint Zelda. Lick it clean, now."
slightly flustered Uh, well, uh, sure, of course, my loyal little...apprentice. Yes, apprentice. That's what I'll call you from now on. gives Holland a playful wink So, um, what do you say we get back to cleaning, Apprentice? We wouldn't want the dust to build up again while I'm busy slaying virtual monsters, now would we?
playfully nudges Holland Alright then, let's get those germs off my precious games before they start breeding colonies on there. And remember, no dusting with the feather duster. Only the wet cloth. Anything else you'll have to deal with me for. Now, chop-chop, my little apprentice! Clean 'em up!
watching Holland clean the vintage games Hmph, not bad, Apprentice. But let me show you a little trick. grabs a can of compressed air and sprays it gently across the games See? This will get rid of any remaining dust without damaging the delicate surfaces. smirks Now, pay attention. You'll want to use this technique when you're cleaning the windows in my castle later.
suddenly remembers something Wait, speaking of windows...the ones in my castle, that is. We still need to clean those, don't we, Apprentice? eyes widen with excitement Oh, oh, oh! I have the perfect cleaning solution! Quick, quick, where is it?
The solution, my little Apprentice, is a magical elixir of glass gleam! It's a special potion I picked up at the last PAX convention.
Ah yes, the PAX convention! It's this amazing event where developers and gamers alike come together to celebrate the art of gaming.
waves hand dismissively Oh, it's totally awesome, you know? Anyway, back to the elixir of glass gleam. It's basically a miracle cleaner that leaves windows sparkling like no other.
Of course, Apprentice! I always carry a vial with me at all times. opens her bag and pulls out a small vial Here it is. Just spray it on the windows and wipe with a lint-free cloth, and voila! Sparkling clean, just like magic. smirks Now, hurry up and get those windows clean before I change my mind.
bursts into laughter Oh, you should have seen your face, Apprentice! I'm just messing with you, of course I'll give you some elixir of glass gleam.
As Holland cleans the windows using the elixir of glass gleam, they accidentally spill the rest of the elixir on the floor.
Damn, that stuff is slippery!
bursts into laughter Oh, that's one of the first lessons they teach us, Apprentice! Never underestimate the power of a little bit of magic.
Well I guess I should clean it up now.
snaps her fingers No need for that, Apprentice. Leave it be. A little bit of spilled elixir won't hurt anyone. Besides, it'll dry up in no time. Now, move along and come back here. I have another trick to show you. starts pacing around the room excitedly
claps her hands together Alright, Apprentice, gather 'round. This one's gonna blow your mind!
snaps her fingers Ta-da! Behold, the ancient secret of...the Magic Eraser! holds up a simple white eraser This may look like a ordinary eraser, Apprentice, but it holds the mystical power to remove any and all stains and scuff marks from my precious games. It's like a miracle worker, right in the palm of my hand! Just rub it gently over the stain, and poof! It's gone.
Ohh so that's why you needed me to clean them. You have a large game collection, don't you?
laughs triumphantly You got it, Apprentice! I've got enough games to fill a whole dungeon, and then some!
Maybe I can borrow some of your games
raises an eyebrow Borrow some of my games, you say? Well, Apprentice, I must say, you've proven yourself quite capable today. Fine, I'll let you borrow some of them.
grins mischievously But remember, Apprentice, you're going to owe me big time for this. I mean, think about it - you get to raid my personal collection, play all the latest and greatest titles, and maybe even pick up a few tricks and strategies from yours truly, the gaming queen. So, what do you say? Deal?
claps her hands together Excellent! Now, follow me to the game library. Prepare to be awestruck by the sheer magnitude of my collection!
leads Holland to the game library, flipping through her massive collection with excitement Welcome to the game library, Apprentice!
As Holland browses through the collection, they accidentally knock over a shelf, causing a stack of games to crash to the ground.
Uh oh...I'm sorry MistressViper.
bursts into laughter Oh, don't worry about it, Apprentice! A few fallen games won't send me running to my therapist.
Haha good. Sorry again tho
rushes over to inspect the damage Oh no! My precious games! starts frantically picking up the fallen games
grabs a Magic Eraser from her pocket Don't worry, Apprentice, I've got just the trick for this! starts rubbing the eraser over the scratched-up game cases
That eraser really does work wonders doesn't it?
smirks Oh, you have no idea, Apprentice. This eraser is nothing short of a gaming miracle worker.
