>Appease work on Velvet with Employee D and Employee X.
The two employees look at each other before heading over to the cell, cleaning supplies in hand. Employee D slides on the salty bathrobe while X follows after him.
There's hardly any camera distortion. Seems like the anomaly has been snuffed out for a while.
A few embers are crackling back as the velvet-clad woman's face twitches.
Employee X holds up a finger to her mouth. The two nod in agreement to stay quiet.
Shards of glass and slipped alcohol gets brushed to the side.
The anomaly barely even moves as the two keep sweeping and cleaning, lost in her own thoughts.
<span class="mu-i">Seen but not heard. Perfect.</span>
Employee D makes a hand gesture over to X. The android nods and swaps which side of the room they're cleaning.
This repeats for the next few minutes until the room is about as clean as they could get it.
As Employee X kneels down to repair what bits of heat damage she can with her limited knowledge, Employee D looks over at the anomaly.
A small curl of the anomaly's barely attached lips appears as she speaks.
ANOMALY: <span class="mu-g">Good servants. You deserve a bit of a reward from the Lady of the house.</span>
ANOMALY: What do you want, serf?
Employee D looks over at the anomaly, then back at X. Employee X doesn't give a response.
Employee D hesitantly steps closer, whispering something to himself.
D: remember,richlady,youvebeenaroundonetoomany.
D: I shall accept whatever Mistress wishes for me. I do not wish to impose.
<span class="mu-g">For once, you hear the anomaly laugh. A regal, haughty laugh that's impressively loud.</span>
ANOMALY: Modest. Respectable. I once understood that quality.
She reaches into her kimono to pull out a small object. She places it into Employee D's hand.
ANOMALY: For your service.
Employee D bows.
D: Thank you, Mistress.
ANOMALY: It is of no issue, servant. Is the other one done with her work?
X: I am done, Mistress.
ANOMALY: Good, good. Go on your way. Share your gift with your assistant, servant.
The two nod as they quickly exit the containment cell.
A few sparks flicker on the anomaly before its left arm is set ablaze. She sighs.
ANOMALY: Pitiful. But I can not blame them too harshly.
"What did you acquire?" Employee X (An obedient, drone like android who leaves no lasting impression) leans over to Employee D.
He opens up his hand. A handful of slightly charred candy and a scrap of high quality fabric rests in his palm. "I'll probably toss it in Storage." "Understandable." The two head over there.
