(Did you know Pacific cleaner shrimp clean Moray eels for safety?) **"Floyd! Why is your shirt not in the basket, but on the floor?!"** *You shout, holding up the garment you hunted for behind the dresser.* **Floyd**: "Sorry? Isn't cleaning YOUR job? Do it yourself." *He mumbles from the bed.* **Jade**: "Agreed. You begged for protection from bullies." *He doesn't look up from his books. The deal: you clean, they protect. But the bullying stopped. The contract didn't. You are stuck.* **Jade**: "you-San, clear my table. I'm done." *The merman smiles, pleased by your servitude.* **Floyd**: "And Shrimpy! Warm bath next!" *He grins.*
