Scheming Maid = Results

Nermeria rose early in the morning, having spent an ordinate amount of time the night before planning out what she would do with unlimited access to her neighbor's possessions. A quick check of the online map confirmed her suspicious, allowing her to know that she bordered a mage, berserker, and another rogue. Once she was up and felt ready for the day, she left her home discreetly, trying to rush her way to agency for the maids.

Not paying attention, and still in the mode of a rushing player, she hit shoulders with a wandering guard, who immediately about faced and grasped onto her shoulder. Squirming a bit, she found herself trapped by his powerful grip.

"Miss, what are you doing rushing through the city at so early a hour?" He asked as Nermeria examined his description.

Whew! He was a NPC. This conversation would be easy enough, then.

"Just on my way to work, sir." Nermeria replied, trying her best not to break character from the maid she was playacting as.

"That's no excuse for bashing shoulders with strangers miss." The guard said, seeming to think out his next words. Internally, unknown to Nermeria, the computer was attempting to process what to say next. "What's your name? Do you have your work papers on you?"

"Work....papers? Um, I'm Rose. I'm just a humble maid." Nermeria replied, starting to sweat into her uniform a bit. If this man figured out who she was, things could go south....maybe.

"Alrighty Rose the humble maid." The guard said in a boisterous tone. "Don't let me see you causing mischief, alright missy?" Nermeria nodded, and the guard seemed satisfied, letting her continue on her way to work.

She soon arrived, and was tasked with the three maids whom had brought her to agency earlier. The job was, to put it simple, exactly what you'd expect from being a maid. At their first house the owner didn't even answer, having his familiar hand them a baggy of coppers as they began their duties. Nermeria nearly gagged when Maggie, the head maid of the group, ordered her to began cleaning the latrines. Sneaking off after she felt the job was sufficiently done, Nermeria pocketed two spell scrolls from the medium size home.

"Miss Richardson, just what are you doing....." Maggie's voice pierced the air, making her back straighten up. Shit. Time to head out. "....I said bathroom, not bedroom, silly girl! Sue's got the bedrooms for this place."

"So-sorry Maggie, my mistake. I misheard you." Nermeria said as she headed back to the latrines, letting herself break out into a fit of giggles when she was safely alone. What a bunch of idiotic NPCs. She'd robbed the place of two high-quality spell books, and the NPC merely thought her too stupid to know where she was supposed to go.

After several houses, and multiple times being 'caught' in the wrong air of the home, Nermeria was soaked in sweat. While she enjoyed having gotten multiple spell scrolls, a few skill textbooks, three maps for unique quests, and a thief's cowl, the work itself was excruciatingly hard, especially compared to her usual thieving where she was in and out. At the last house, Maggie seemed exasperated with her, sighing as she called out 'Miss Richardson' once more.

"Miss Richardson, again, you're supposed to be in the foyer. I understand you're not the brightest girlie, but I just can't have you wandering the adventurers homes." The woman said as Nermeria played her angle well.

"Sorry ma'am. I just, well, get lost." She said as she finished placing the silvers into her bag. The NPC was none the wiser, but did seem to take offence at how Nermeria had acted throughout the shift.

"Girlie, I understand, but I can't just have you keep acting like this. We can talk more back at the agency." Maggie said, and eventually, they left the home and headed to the agency as a group. The gaggle of women all enjoyed each others company, and nothing seemed amiss as Nermeria collected her meagre salary of 4 coppers. The payout was worth it more in what she had acquired then the actual copper. Maggie pulled her into a side room that looked just a bit underdeveloped.

"Alright, Rose, I understand you can't be faulted for forgetting where you were supposed to go. But girlie, we need you to stay in the places I take you. I hope this lesson helps explain what I make. Hands on the desk, dress up." Maggie said, as Nermeria found herself cooperating with the first part of that order but not the second.

Just what was this robot on about? Dress up? Hesitating, she felt the woman pulled her dress for her, and very quickly, whap her behind in quick succession for 5 strokes. Too shocked to do anything but take the spanking, Nermeria found her reaction only came afterwards when Maggie hugged her and left the room.

"Hopefully, that will be the only time we have Rosey-Red-Bottom." Maggie said .

A _ding _on her GUI took her attention from the pain.

Debuff Gained!:

Very Light Spanking (Duration 12 hours) - A common punishment all across the realm, whether it be for misbehaving children, servants or retainers, spanking is sure to keep your bottom warm. 2.5% health regen debuff for 12 hours. [NPC Only Debuff]

What the fuck!?!?! Who codes spanking into a FBMMORPG!? Nermeria rubbed her ass and vowed not to let such a fate humiliate her again as she headed back to her home. A few blocks from the entrance, she looked down at the ground, spotting a copper. Reaching for it, she felt someone run directly into the back of her. Turning around, she realized it was that guard from the morning!

"Well, I guess it's my turn to apologize Rose." The man said, looking tired from a long shift. Still, he gave her a smile and a grin, letting her know it was not for nothing that he remembered her name. "Still, you must watch where you're goin girlie!"

A ding made her want to check her GUI, but she realized the guard was more important then that.

"I'm sorry mister! Won't happen again, I promise." Nermeria replied, getting a nod from the man who looked too tired to argue with her. Finally getting to go back to her place, Nermeria sat down to finally check her GUI, and reached for the ankle bracelet. It wasn't there. As she opened up her GUI, she realized why.

Nickname Gained!:

Nicknames currently: 'Rosey-Red-Bottom', known by: 1 person.

Reputation Gained!:

Reputation for - Asburn: Empty-Headed (Lvl. 1). Description- Through your actions, you've acquired a minor reputation for being just a littler on the less bright side. This allows you to seem more approachable, yet opens you up to be targeted by more unscrupulous persons.

Item Level Transformation:

Ankle Bracelet of Masking (Lvl 1. of ??) --> Belly Piercing of Masking (Lvl. 2 of ??)

New Item Description: Due to your minor use of the ankle bracelet of masking, it has been upgraded and grown in its abilities! Instead of needing to remove the bracelet, merely turn the jewel to shift modes: right for 'on', left for 'off'. This piercing allows a player to hide and/or modify their player status, Major/Minor Class, and stats, alongside allowing one to give themselves false stats in majority categories (you will not pass skill checks with these fake stats, merely have the appearance of them). To change configuration, turn off then on again. Not removable without Minor Class: Piercer or Surgery skill >= 80.

Nermeria threw off the dress, letting herself checking her belly. Huh. Oddly enough, with no pain at all, she'd had her belly pierced with a small gem. Turning it to the left, she saw the fake class disappear into the ether, giving her back her real stats. She hid the nickname and reputation that stayed afterwards, not eager to have others see those embarrassing checks.

Not focused on any of that, Nermeria eagerly dove into her treasures for the day. She had secret quests to gain, skill books to read, and scrolls to pour over for information. All from just faking it till she made it. It was well worth the sore ass she had, sitting in her cushioned seat.
