Spic and Span (Open)

She didn't quite have the power for Chaos Swarm, but she was getting better at controlling her bats. Emily was in her maid outfit and was mopping the floor with the help of the Prinnies, turning it into a game. With brushes on their stomachs, the Prinnies were shot across the wet floor with the help of her bats, cutting the cleaning time quickly.

"This is so fun!" Emily giggled.

At the other side where the wall was, the Prinnies would shift their weight and kick off, controlling the direction with their wings as a bat would scoot them across the floor. They seemed to be racing one another. Soon, the floor in that room was finished and it was time to dry it.

"Alright, now that the wax is done, let's start flapping. The sooner this dries, the sooner we can get to making dinner."

"Aye, Aye, dood!"

[Prinny Papius]

The grey unhelpful Prinny watched skillfully quietly in his garbage can which he was using as a hiding place until these Prinnies and that girl were gone. He had been here for a while now and was getting a cramp from not moving for quite some time. The problem now is that they didn’t see him climb in here and the fact that they have been here for a while would make them wonder why or how he got in there if he wasn’t hiding from something…thankfully they were just cleaning the floors and not taking out the trash.

….peg leg cramp… his leg had fallen asleep and it was starting to hurt…so much that he started to wiggle his flapper to try and scratch it which ended up moving the trashcan a little, and then more so, and then even more until it fell over expelling the grey Prinny. At first he was a little embarrassed, but then he came up with a great idea.

“Darn demons, sticking me in there like I was trash…”

He hoped that the others wouldn’t recognize him for his habits since he figured he kept them a well enough hidden secret.

[fatima]

"Oh!"

Emily heard the trash get knocked over and hovered over where the Prinny got knocked over. Dusting Papius off, she set him up straight to his pegged feet and gazed at him with a genuine look of concern. Having demons around who were bullying the Prinnies would make her cleaning that much harder if they came back around to torment them.

"Are you alright? Who put you in there?"

[Prinny Papius]

He looked at her with glee, most likely mistaken for happiness of having the concern of others, but really it was happiness for her believing his story.

“It all happened so fast, I didn’t get a look at them. One thing I do know is that they weren’t a Prinny since we know not to pick each other up dood.”

He went over to her and hugged her, pushing out a few tears.

“It’s like this all the time, getting picked on, and then I can never get my work done because I am stuff or crammed somewhere where I can’t escape, so Master Etna yells and screams at me for not getting it done. It’s such a hard life I have dood.”

[fatima]

"Poor thing..." Emily comforted.

She was a sucker for a sob story and the underdog. She hugged the Prinny and patted his head.

"Maybe we can work together to make your work more fun. My name is Emily. I've just become a vassal to the Prince. Would you like to work along side of me? I try to turn things into a game to make the time go by faster."

[Overlord Sothmir]

A cold mist settled in the room, as a thin layer of frost began to appear along the floor and walls of the castle. As it became colder and colder, until it was just outright chilly, a Shadow cloaked in long, black tattered robes floated into the scene. His skeletal hands flexed and relaxed, his dead breath coming out in visible plumes from his cowl. His hooded head slowly rose from its lowered position and stared directly at Emily and the gray prinny.

The Shadow looked at the girl, the gray prinny, and the rest of the prinnies. The prinnies themselves looked much paler than normal, and the Shadow chuckled a slow, hissing laugh that would send a shiver up even a Hell Dragon's spine. His cloaked form faced both Emily and the gray prinny once more, and he outstretched a skeletal hand.

"I...am Richmond...I wassss...told...that I wasss...to asssssist...in any way I could...I wasss told...to report...to a Missss Emily...that isss you...I asssume?" he inquired, the same whispering voice, his "s"s echoing as if he were within a void. He stood there staring at Emily (or at least appeared to be) and waited for her answer, as sheer coldness and sorrow swirled about his sable robes.

[MajinKirby]

Gin sped down the hallways of the Overlord's Castle at top speeds looking for his new "commander", looking franticly down each hall. Oh man, was he late. He was told to report to a Ms. Emily at least an hour ago. Damn his easy tiredness! Falling asleep could have gotten himself killed! He sped down another hall, and noticed something odd.

"Woah...it's cold in here, dood...", the green prinny said tom himself. He slowed his running to a walk, and finally a slow ramble. His wings wrapped around himself for warmth, he walked into the room where the source of the cold was coming from. Inside, he found another prinny, a young girl, and....a shadow?! "Oh jeez, dood...", Gin muttered to himself. He HATED undead demons...they always gave him the creeps. He ran behind the young girl, and looked at the shadow from behind her. Hopefully this was not only protection, but the girl he was looking for.

[Overlord Sothmir]

Richmond watched as yet another oddly coloured prinny joined this girl's side. He stared into the eyes of the lime-green prinny with his own dead, shadow-shrouded eyes. The creature floated closer to Emily, his gaze never leaving the eyes of the green prinny, and slowly reached towards the prinny with his skeletal hand until it was mere inches away from his face...then quickly drew it back. He turned to face Emily once more, probably starting to cross the personal-space line with his billowing robes.

"Well...it ssseemsss...that you have a sssizeable army of prinniesss...perhapsss you would need my ssservicesss...elsssewhere...hmmm?" Richmond hissed stoically as he gazed into the vampire's eyes.

[fatima]

"Oh my! Uhm... well, I am just the grounds keeper for the castle. My name is Emily... Emily Romanov."

Blushing at the entrance of the undead and looking at the Green One that came in. The Prinnies just stood there silent, sweating bullets. She put an easing hand on the Prinny hiding behind her and smiled to the undead.

"Well... I was almost done here. I was going to start cleaning the area by the shops and portal next. The Rosenqueen company mentioned that they needed some help carrying the new stock into the store."

Emily looked towards the other Prinnies, narrowing her red eyes.

"And no snitching the products! Rosenqueen is a very reliable company to our cause!"

Looking back to Richmond, she folded her hands sweetly in front of her and tilted her head.

"Could you please make sure that nothing gets stolen? I understand how desperate these Prinnies are to make it to the next life, but I want their stay here to be as painless as possible..."

[Overlord Sothmir]

"Ah...my lady, pleasssure...to have met you." Richmond said with a amazingly graceful bow, especially for what a creepy-looking creature he was. He almost went to reach for her hand to complete the gentlemanly ritual, but quickly drew back. He seemed extremely pained afterwards, and the veil of sorrow around him deepened. However, it returned to its normal depressing level, and he bowed again.

"I would be honoured to take your recommended ssservicesss....Lady Romanov. And worry not...I will make sssure...that any prinny that ssstealsss...from the Rosenqueen ssstock...will surely face consssequencesss...sssomething...that isss much worssse...than pain..." Richmond said, finishing the last part with an especially malicious hiss, directed mostly at the Prinnies.

"Pleassse...",he continued, "lead the way..."
