The Magpie Emporium, Monday [4/5]

[giveittoyoursister]

There were a lot of Space Battles fans in the store today, and one of them had given Little Bot a toy laser-sword.

Which meant that rather than working, Vi was mostly watching Little Bot gleefully rolling around the store brandishing his new weapon at anyone who was stepping out of line.

Steph was pretty busy today running the Space Battles TCG tournament, because of course she had to run one today, but she came back downstairs to check in with Vi and make sure Little Bot hadn't actually skewered a gremlin.

"You know, I'm almost afraid he's never going to put that down again."

That was because, like all Roombas, deep on his electronic heart he craved violence.

"He's certainly having fun with it," Vi agreed, grinning at Steph.

[drumsticksandd20s]

Honestly he was in the right place to exercise that in a safe way, one might argue.

"You don't want one too?" Steph teased. "You'd look pretty badass."

Wrong aesthetic, Steph. Honestly.

The gremlins would disagree, but then, they would.

"Yeah, but I always do." So modest, Vi.

The gremlins were just sad that their potential for shenanigans was being curbed preemptively.

"That is true," Steph agreed. "That might be a little too badass for the universe to handle."

[giveittoyoursister]

Could they not nibble upon one single patron?

"I mean, it's not the universe I'm worried about handling me."

Vi, no.
