Lord Fred vs. Aqualarian Foundries

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 22725

With firm resolve, Fred decides that he'll make the journey to Aqualaria to confront these low lives face to face! He'll hack their upper management to bits! Their shameless exploitation of troubled youths to push their lousy product could not be tolerated! Dragon Enterprises, LLC has already bought out all of the competion in the Aqualarian tele-communications industry, as if that isn't troubling enough, but now this!? Soon the Dragon will have a monopoly over every honest Aqualarian business institution that's left!

Several months later, at the Headquarters of the Sales and Marketing Division of Aqualarian Foundries in Irysopolis-on-the-Hill...

With the same copy of the Weapons Monthly Magazine still in hand, Fred boldly approaches the elderly secretary seated at the main desk in the central lobby. This is a bold task not because he’s about to take on a major corporation, but because walking around with flip flops is proving harder than Fred thought it would be.

"Can I help you?" she asks cheerily, putting down a coffee mug and setting aside a pile of papers she was previously intent on. Fred notices the writing on the mug: You don't have to be a mindless slave of the Dragon to work here, but it sure does help!

"Um, yes," he stammers, a little unnerved by the mug's message. "I'm here to register a complaint ." He unfolds the magazine and displays the AF Pegasus advertisement to the elderly lady. "I demand to destroy - er - speak to the President of the Sales and Marketing Division! You can tell him Lord Fred, a very popular and influential figurehead from Allaria, is the one making the demand."

The secretary stares at him blankly for a moment, an empty, soulless look in her eyes. Not saying another word, she reaches down below her desk and lightly taps a red button before returning to her work.

Fred is outraged by this rude treatment! Does she know who he is!? He clears his throat loudly, shuffles about uneasily, and casts an annoyed glance down at her... but all to no avail.

"Excuse me," he finally manages to say. "Do you know who I am!? I'm the son of an Allarian Duke, lady! So, chop chop! Get to it, I say!"

She takes a sip from her mug, coolly ignoring the flustered Knight standing over her. This is an outrage! He ponders whether or not he should slice her head off.

"Why - I never! I demand to speak to your superiors! This instant! Right now!"

She blinks.

Before Fred can continue to voice his disapproval of the woman's job performance, a heavy hand lands on his shoulder. Fred reels around to see...

  1. ...a burly guard!
  2. ...the President of the Sales and Marketing Division
  3. ... It was YOU and/or a little man with a slice of cheese on his balding head.
  4. ...a buxom Aqualarian babe!
