>Maid, C, Q, Appease Star, make her look presentable and clean up the cell. Maybe hand her some coffee.
Employee C is staring daggers at the overtly cutesy maid. Employee Q is trying his best to politely yet firmly push her to the containment cell to get this over with.
<span class="mu-i">A grand performance will happen soon enough.</span>
The maid robot goes into auto-pilot and focuses solely on cleaning the room,
But not before handing the anomaly a fresh cup of coffee.
C: Worthless automaton.
Employee Q shakes his head as he places a hand onto the Employee C's shoulder.
Q: Silence. Do your job, do not complain. It is not that hard.
The anomaly strolls over to the two chattering employees. It tilts its head to the side.
ANOMALY: Yes? What are you here for? I'm busy, you know.
Q: To make you and your cell more presentable. Celanine will help with the former. I will do the lady.
ANOMALY: Ah, no chatting then. That clown really does drain my batteries, even if he's fun to talk to.
The anomaly returns to the center of the room. Employee C huffs before approaching the magician.
Employee Q sweeps away with his broom, working in unison with the maid.
Employee C, meanwhile, grabs a hold onto the magician's suit.
ANOMALY: Be careful, don't get any blood on my suit.
Employee C forces a laugh as she begins adjusting the suit, brushing off any grime off of it.
<span class="mu-i">Preparing the actress before the upcoming show. I've lost count of how often this has happened.</span>
<span class="mu-i">That's why they sent me here, after all.</span>
The magician stands still, not resisting Employee C's touch.
Employee Q is getting really into the menial labor. If he could smile, you'd suspect it would be ear to ear.
MAID: Cleaning is fun! Cleaning is good!
Q: Cleaning is engaging. Cleaning is necessary.
Employee C rolls her eyes, trying to avoid the smug gaze of the magician.
ANOMALY: You're doing good. Absolutely better than the meat suit and the robot. I'm so sorry you have to deal with her.
ANOMALY: I mean, sure, she's doing a good job. But hey!
Employee C lets out a sigh.
C: Right, okay. How's the suit?
ANOMALY: Good, actually. I'm not yanking your chain, you're doing a good enough job.
Employee Q and the maid are trying to scrub every single bit of dust out of the containment cell.
After a solid fifteen minutes, the two employees and maid back over to the containment cell's airlock.
The cell looks like it was freshly constructed, with no sign of dust or remnants of Stardust coating the walls.
The magician's outfit is a bit more neat and tidy compared to how it was in the Ranger fight.
ANOMALY: Excellent. If I could pay you, I would.
MAID: No need to pay! As long as Mistress is happy, that's fine for me!
C: I hope you enjoy it.
The three bows towards the anomaly. The magician responds with a bow of her own.
The two employees and maid assistant exit the containment cell without any further complaint.
The anomaly takes a sip of the coffee.
ANOMALY: Mmh. Could be worse.
