Gruntilda sat deep within the Lord of Games workshop, underneath a dimly lit light, she hadn't much luck making her own game. Normally she would be complaining about how unfair and ludacris all this was, especially since it was her birthday today. However she had a plan, Halloween was near, and despite her lack of powers she could still feel it. The season of the witch was blooming, it would be in full bloom on Halloween night, thus her powers would grow tenfold on that night.
So if she had her powers back somehow, she'd be god tier. She intended to take full advantage of it, all she had to do was get out of this hell she was in. "Lord Of Games, come to me, I'm so bored and I won't be ignored!"
Moments earlier
Log sat in his office drinking a cup of coffee, stacks of paperwork, other universes to create, universes to destroy, and of course he had that thing with Gruntilda in thirty seconds. Maybe less he looked at his watch.
"Hm, three, two, one…."
"Lord Of Games, come to me, I'm so bored and I won't be ignored!"
He sighed, "show time, let's get this over with", he groaned with a stretch. He suddenly appeared behind Gruntilda "What is it you want, Gruntilda? Hurry up and tell me because I'm very busy today." He said, annoyed with her, all she did was complain and it was nearly driving him crazy.
Gruntilda chuckled at this,She could hear the annoyance in his voice and she loved it. Since coming to his game workshop, annoying LOG was what she lived for. Anything she could do to annoy this heap of bolts was well worth it, "Log, you dirty dog, it's my birthday this Thursday, not just a workday! Halloween is near, and this year, I want a chance to reappear so set me free so I can end the bear and bird!"
"Is that anyway to ask for something Grunty?"
"You know I'm not asking so stop reprimanding!"
"Well if you can't ask I'll be on my way."
"Wait!"
He stopped, "mm, yeees?"
"P-P-Plllllllll- "You're toying with me, I can't take it no more, release me, set me free!. Then watch as I vanquish that bird and that bear and bird, you'll see!"
"You failed to beat Banjo and Kazooie every time you've fought them, nothing is going to change this time or ever, why should I let you try again?"
She smiled, "it's the season of the witch, on-"
"On Halloween your powers grow tenfold I know." He sighed and closed his eyes thoughtfully before speaking, "I Suppose that could change things up, I might even be tempted to go along with this- if I Didn't already know how it ends of course."
"And how's that?" Gruntilda asked, growing angry now."
"You lose." He said softly.
"Oh, come on now, dont be ao glum, you're not even giving me a crumb! You don't know what I can do,
Let me out there, I'll prove it to you!" She screamed, stamping her feet in a furious and comical temper tantrum.
He laughed at this. "I'll tell you what Grunty, since you think so highly of your powers and Halloween, when the clock strikes twelve morning, Halloween, I'll set you free to take back your lair, and beat Banjo and… the bird, I forgot her name." He said waving a nonchalant hand about. "You'll have until midnight to do it. If you do all this within the said time limit, you win, no gimmicks. You're free from my workshop and can rule spiral mountain again and take back the Isle O' Hags."
"Deal!"
"If you can say please."
"Ugh! Fine, plll-pll- pleeeeee-pleaaaaugh! Pplllllaaaaaaackk- pppl-"
This went on for twenty minutes and Log laughed as he took out his phone and recorded her doing it, he finally grew bored, "Grunty let's face it, you can't say please, so no deal."
"No wait pllleeeaaaauuuuzzzz!"
"Close enough, deals a deal'', he snapped his fingers.
She laughed evilly, "I'm back, and ready to attack, so I'll go and smack that bear and bird! She whistled for her broom to come to her and- nothing happened. "Huh?"
"You still have two weeks."
"What?! Oh come on!"
"Oh one more thing Grunty", he said ignoring her whining, "if you lose, you'll back here-"
"And back to square one, I get it." She said waving him off.
"No, not square one, you'll be demoted to the permanent janitor for this workshop. And the only one."
Gruntilda shivered, the bathrooms in the shop were worse than Donkey Kong's bathroom. She knew this because she personally made them that way as a prank on her first day on the job. This also made the last janitor quit, so they only festered and grew more disgusting. That was over three years ago."I accept!"
"I know you do, you already did, I wasn't giving you a chance to back out, I'm telling you your new job position."
"You think, you're telling me, for I won't lose,
But my demand, I won't refuse."
"I'm literally god so you don't demand anything from me, but I'll just pretend it's a slip of the tongue, go on."
In this endeavor, I implore, refrain,
From meddling's grip, from chaos' reign.
No matter what unfolds, your vow shall stand,
A beacon of restraint, a steadfast hand.
"Sure, why not." he said with a casual shrug.
"You slimy- wait really?"
"Yeah, really, you're not going to win, that's not what's meant to happen Grunty, do you really think I'd let you do this if I was unsure you would lose?"
She growled, "I'll show you! In two weeks…" she grumbled and sat down, arm on her boney chin.
"You do that, I'm going to do the paperwork to get you switched into your new position", he then disappeared.
"I hate him", she growled.
