Trouble at Maid Expo

>This week at the MGCity Expo is the Annual Salon for Maids.
>The biggest convention dedicated entirely to housekeeping.
>Obviously, the majority of attendees are Kikomora’s and Shoggoth’s.
>However, many other species come to look at the newest tech in keeping your home sweet and homely.
>There, you can observe the traditional cleaning techniques from all around the world, such as the famous Zipangu “hardwood floors running swipe”, performed by highly trained Kitsunes.
>It is no surprise to see GoblinTech’s stand take the majority of the show room, their numerous Automata answering the many questions one could have on their products.
>Such as the controversial yet successful toaster+vacuum.
>The inner courtyard has been temporarily transformed in a small glasshouse so the Dryad Union can hold its traditional gardening segment.
>The furthest corner from the entrance is once again almost deserted, for few dare to approach the Dark Elves’ “Rent a Slave” booth.
>And finally, in this festive and impossibly clean expo, there are refreshments.
>We turn our attention to such a group, enjoying their drinks, letting their tongues wag and, alcohol helping, their frustrations unwind.
>”I still don’t understand how your team managed to qualify for the Meidolympics, like, the difference in skill is just… Glaring!”
>The kikomora spoke with passion, but her stance was unsteady.
<“While it hurts to admit, I agree with the feather-duster, you knives’ears are just good enough in the bedroom, useless everywhere else.”
>The Shoggoth’s smug grin seemed somewhat off, not as confident as it should be.
>“Just shut up, you filthy slimy abomination… As I was saying: the Dragon’s team couldn’t qualify this year, the Automata and the Ochimusha’s barely made it in! How did your team do it?”
“Well, the Dragons team failed during the Silverware Trial, when they began to fight over who got to polish the largest plate… This cost them a lot of points.”
>The Elf was clearly uncomfortable, she knew full well that her “drinking buddies” were fervent supporters of their respective team and that talking about the biggest competitive event of the year was fated to bring trouble to their gathering.
>”Addendum: Their judgement was logical, my estimation of the economic value of this piece justify their behaviour.”
>Only the Automaton seemed unfazed by all this.
>“Still, the Ochimusha’s should have been disqualified. Losing an arm while hanging sheets to dry, pathetic limitations of the flesh.”
>“Counterpoint: The ‘Master’ did not witness the incident, the rules mention specifically that the decision belongs to the Jury, should the ‘Master’ fail to notice a mistake.”
>“You’re just on their side because one of yours also lost pieces!”
>”I’d wager the real reason is that one of the judge is a necromancer.”
“I’m still sad for the Kobold team, they were just so… genuine about it all, they looked like they were having so much fun.”
>“HOW DARE YOU?! House-keeping isn’t supposed to be fun! It’s serious business!”
>”Warning: you are being irrational, I am in the possession of video evidence proving you display pleasure by accomplishing your duties as a maid, examples include you singing and/or providing ample lubrication for the purpose of sexual intercourse.”
>”Besides, they were losing hair everywhere, urgh, good riddance.”
“Says the one lubricating everything she touches.”
>“Now now, I limit my slime to what belongs to my Master.”
>”Still, what makes Elves worthy of taking part in the Meidolympics?”
>…
“Well, you know… There is one thing we can do and you three cannot.”
>“Wh- That’s impossible! House-keeping is our sacred duty! We evolved to keep houses clean!”
>“I highly doubt that claim, little elf. We were born for the single purpose of serving.”
>“Negative: units such as mine were crafted and upgraded to perform our tasks with optimal efficiency.”
“You say that… But I can disobey and even make mistakes.”
>“EXACTLY! You’re stupid!”
>“How amusing! This hardly makes you our better, in fact I claim it certifies your inferiority, creature of flesh and bones!”
>“Question: These traits are commonly perceived as unwanted in a servant, why would you make the claim they are advantages?”
“If I misbehave… My Master can punish me~.”
>It is a that precise moment the riot began.
