Summary: the King and the Ultimate Ghost take the opportunity to skive off work together


His Highness King Diggory la Plaza almost dropped his spoon in the teapot when a ghost manifested in the cafe.

"Goodness, I didn't expect to see you here today!" he exclaimed, "Isn't it rush hour in the dungeon?"

"Normally, yes, but the Goblin Labourer's Union is on strike," he sighed, "Nobody's going anywhere until they get paid an extra fish each."

"Will the dungeon be okay with nobody guarding it?"

"It'll be fine - nobody's filled the chests, so no incentive for adventurers to come in. The problem is, we're losing a load of revenue in play coin sales and the final boss is going to have kittens when she finds out. Not literally," he added, "I think she's a bird thing."

"The Emperor of Darkness is a she?"

The Ultimate Ghost shrugged, "I'll just have to take her word for it. I don't know how to tell with a bird thing, she doesn't know how to tell with a ghost. Anyway, at least I got out in time to sneak out for a coffee."

"Mind if I join you, then? I'm skiving off too - my back hurts and the throne's not comfy."

"I'm always glad for the company."
