Spotless

Hey. Gil, here. Your average 20-something with few career prospects. Ya know, when I applied for this job at Spotless Services LLC, I thought it would be like any other after-hours cleaning gig. Quiet, simple, gross at times, sure, but at the end of the shift I go home to veg-out and not think about work until my next clock-in.

That was until I discovered the sites I'm cleaning are haunted.

These sites aren't just filthy. They're dustbunnies-hopping-right-at-your-face, filthy. Sometimes I find rotting zombies wandering around. Other times, it's a cruel Dust Witch riding around on a broom throwing fireballs. Heck, even the kitchen appliances are possessed. You ever scrub a toilet that's trying to gnaw off your arm?

At this point, I’m happy to make it out of a shift without losing a limb. And then I spend all my time off anxiously preparing for the next shift, hoping to do just a little better. I guess working for Spotless does have some benefits though…

• Clearing out enemies and dirt quickly gets me a better Feedback Report from the clients, and a bonus reward of Silver Sponges from the boss lady, Nat.
• Fulfilling Clients' specific requests (or demands) helps even more with the Feedback Report.
• Redeeming Silver Sponges for upgrades makes subsequent sites more manageable.
• Working multiple sites back-to-back gets me a sweet overtime pay multiplier, at the risk of losing cash due to damages on more difficult sites. Sometimes ya gotta know when to just play it safe and clock out.
• If I do a real thorough job, I can find secrets, that can be sold back to clients or other unsavory buyers. I’m not saying it’s ethical, but it provides a much appreciated bump in pay.
• Saving up enough cash allows me to purchase permanent upgrades to my cleaning supplies and personal abilities. Managing these is the key to success (and survival!).
