I was amazed at my match's promptness, and had a passing thought that perhaps I was matched with a scambot that automatically confirmed shipped with a fake tracking number. That apprehension was quickly dispelled though when arrived a package with that all-too-familiar design.

I quickly opened it, and I found my call to duty (not to be confused with Call OF Duty). Inside was a shirt with a built-in 1-UP, and sunglasses specially built for use in an 8-bit environment. I donned those items, hoping one 1-UP would be enough, and embarked on my journey to save the princess!

Unlike other past unfortunate adventurers, this princess was not in another castle. I was able to make short work of the castle's puny defenses, as well as Lord Bowser himself. I quickly returned the princess to her castle and headed home myself.

Overall, this adventure was a fun one, and I didn't even need to use my 1-UP! As for you, The_Landlady, thank you for entrusting this mission to me, and giving me future enjoyment of this functional, yet stylish gear!
