ANYTHING FOR YOU ANONYMOUS

The place I'm working at hired two new people recently, and apparently, I have a funny sneeze that they keep trying to replicate for hours after I ever sneeze or just every time they see me.

It was kind of funny the first few times - yes, I do sneeze like a sprayer, pshhhhhh, ha-ha, very amusing - but it has started being annoying lately. When I politely asked them to stop, they told me it's just funny and I should know how to take a joke, and besides, I was laughing at it before, so I should know it's funny.

Yeah, okay then.

So I, as their senior, told them to go clean the windows today. And every time they sprayed the glass, I kept saying bless you. They laughed a few times in the beginning.

When they were done, I went to the window, looked it over, then said it's not clean enough and made them repeat the process. I have no trouble handling the register and the coffee machine all alone, I've been doing it for months when we were understaffed.

When they were done, I made them do it again. And again.

Overall, they've spent about two and a half hours cleaning the glass, all while I kept saying bless you every time they sprayed the windows. When told it's not funny, I repeated the same shit they told me about taking a joke and how they laughed at it before.

By the third hour, they got the hint and finally apologized, and, thank fuck, next time I sneezed, no pshhhhh came from any of them.

Petty fucking revenge, my beloved.

That is to say, yes, I abused my power over them, yes, I could have tried explaining it in a civil way, but hey, the windows are sparkling clean and if you don't want to be subjected to meaningless labor, then maybe consider not being an asshole.

I understand not being a big fan of the appearance of past PCs, and I shared that earlier on, and even shared the argument that I wanted Bells Hells' story to be about them...but I feel like the time for that argument has passed. As we've gone on, that is in fact the story - that they're a bunch of level 8 adventurers who have fallen into an endgame scenario because of little peripheral threads and because of who one of their companions is. The story is, on some level, about not being about them. They've had so little time to drive their own destiny; it's been fetch quests and pursuit from the start, with little in the way of the odd jobs and proper stumblings one would usually expect.

And I hope that after the solstice they'll get to do that! But I think having Keyleth and the Ashari, Beau, and Caleb there hammer the above home: this is so much bigger than Bells Hells is prepared for, and they're here because a few weird things that happened in Jrusar (which is all that Eshteross ever wanted to look into, and all Treshi ever wanted to do) were unbeknownst to them part of a plot Ludinus Da'leth has likely been working on for several centuries; and because Imogen and Fearne are involved through accidents of birth. In many ways, it echoes Laudna's entire story. It's just people who were minding their own business in a town, and someone powerful and ruthless did things beneath it that affected the population at large because of a plan with cosmic ramifications, and they became involved out of an accident of location.

I'll admit - I do prefer a story where people are actively seeking something, or running from something, rather than caught up in bigger and bigger webs of conspiracy, but that's not the one being told right now, and the version in which far more powerful allies don't appear is a tragic and cynical one, whereas one with Keyleth, Beau, and Caleb says "yeah, this is fucked up, and it's not fair that you're here on your own to deal with this rip current of an event."

[The door creaks open, letting in a cold breeze from the outside. A pie sits on the counter, steam rising, the filling a deep crimson. Coffee brews in the corner, its scent mixing with the air, thick and warm. Fries glisten under the lights, each one crisp and waiting for greep. The burger slorps, its bun slightly blorched, dripping with glibber sauce. Milk shakes tremples, frothing as it spircles into the droken cup. Pancakes droonsh, their edges crandled in syrupy weel. Spoons clinked, their shilker echoing through the glimber room. Frulfs and greepers twilt above, chondering in the meep. Drith slornak, bleef gromzen plorvix venkla, trodel mak.]
