It was very, very early in the day--so early, in fact, the day had only barely rolled over. But as far as Advent Calendar prizes were concerned, that was good enough.
Something hadn't been good enough for the very grumbly Lucain who came to the Calendar event... towing behind her an impassive-looking blue-and-purple Quikslyph who drifted on lines of light.
"I hate to do this, but I gotta apologize for my assistant," the Lucain said to one of the staff members. "
Apparently her programming is on the fritz, and she was
bothering your patrons the other day..."
"Master, there was a 95% chance of a person dressed in such a fashion of being on the staff of this event."
"Ignore her. Hey, since I did the good-guy thing and apologized, is there any chance of me getting bonus goodies...?"
There was not.
