"Ah... Li sir." *crackle*
"It's me, Bob. Over."
"My good disciple, what is the situation?"
Old Man Li and Bob were currently raising walkie talkies to their mouths in a discreetly obvious manner to speak, relaying their 'coded' messages through their 'encrypted' comms. (Old Man Li had insisted that Bob call him "Ah Li Sir", likely due to the influence of watching too many dramas on TVBJ and also probably under the influence of rice wine...)
As the camera zoomed out, one could see that Bob and Old Man Li were in fact... right next to each other, and could in fact speak normally...!!! Master Li had nevertheless insisted that they use the walkie talkies as props to 'appear more professional'...
"Ah Li sir, through my Valentine avatar, I can see that there seems to be someone asking Sally to dance, but he appears to be a Dark Rizzard! What should we do?" Bob relayed to Old Man Li who was... next to him.
Bob with his [Eyes of Rizz] could tell that this seemingly charming person, Itvashim, was definitely up to no good. The Interest meters of this unsavoury individual were flashing, saturated with lust, desire and greed.
"Good. No problem." Old Man Li again muttered into his device, played his part as the Boss of the Mission to perfection. Their aim - to counter the Dark Rizzard's plans and keep Sally safe!!!
"Observe and Shadow them. This Dark Rizzard hasn't done anything yet, but ifneedbe, we may need to intervene. For now though, it's too soon."
"Ok. Roger that. Over."
They said a few more walkie-talkie type stuffs that added nothing of substance but did increase the high-stakes, espionage atmosphere of their mission!
Bob, through his Valentine avatar, followed the proceedings... and it appeared that Ice Queen Sally had just swallowed...
the suspicious... clear... fluid!!!
___
As Sally swallowed the 'laced' liquid, Itvashim's eager eyes lit up with dark and hungry haloes.
"Oh!! My lady... How do you feel?" Itvashim hedged with excitement.
His brother was a genius! If this worked... then bedding Ice Queens would be just the beginning!!! He licked his lips (par for the course at this point).
"How… am I supposed to feel?" Sally replied... slowly.
"Do you feel… somewhat... warmer? More... heated?"
"Why… yes… I do…" Sally said.
"Do you happen to feel… more… free? More… uninhibited?"
"Oh. I feel freer! I feel more… uninhibited!" said Sally.
It is a trait of human nature that people would see what they want to and interpret as they see fit, dismissing any evidence to the contrary.
Upon hearing Sally's words, the Grand Dark Rizzard Itvashim immediately believed that the drug was working!!!
"My lady... Do you feel a little… like you would like some rest?"
"Why yes!"
"Then, allow me to escort you, my lady. Let us get some... rest."
___
As she gulped the liquid down, Sally immediately felt a sense of mild lethargy overcome her, as if mental faculties had decreased, but it wasn't unpleasant.
"Oh!! How do you feel?"
With her [Intuition of the Ice Queen], Sally could tell that this guy was clearly untrustworthy... but everything seemed a little... less clear right now... oh well, if worst came to worst, she could just freeze him later, she supposed...
"...Then, allow me to escort you, my lady. Let us get some... rest."
Itvashim inwardly clapped his hands delightedly, as he escorted Queen Sally to a secluded 'resting area'.

___
It was extremely dark in the corridor.
Indeed this was the excuse later made, but in truth, there really was no excuse… not really for what would later transpire... they... well they would only have themselves to blame!!!
___
Meanwhile... Reverend Eli, wearing fresh trousers, knew the plan. He met Doris' beady eyes, and they exchanged a knowing nod. It was time to carry out their plan!
Doris, using her Succubus Arts, one of the dark magics from the Church of the Seven Deadly Sins, had managed to pass herself off as another Sally. The plan was that, in a moment of confusion, the real Ice Queen Sally could be whisked away by Reverend Eli!!
Accordingly, they had kept tabs on Ice Queen Sally, and once they saw Itvashim escort Sally to a more private location, their eyes gleamed with the light of an opportunity recognised. Now was their chance!
They followed Itvashim and Ice Queen Sally into the dark corridor... and in a skilfully calculated manoeuvre, proceeded to 'bump into them' in the darkness!!!!
And so it happened, that in that dark corridor, in the confusion, the real Sally and Doris-Sally switched places…!!!
Bob of course, as Valentine, was shadowing the proceedings, and with his Eyes of Rizz, could see clearly through the entire charade...
What was going on?!?!
___
Meanwhile, Itvashim had escorted 'Sally' to an abandoned bedroom in the castle, and in the dark, began to whisper and escalate as per his Dark Rizzard Ways.
To be fair, in hindsight, at this point, he did have his doubts.
This… Ice Queen Sally had seemed surprisingly… compliant.
It was Easy. Too easy.
Things had gone well. Too well.
Brushing aside his doubts as he also brushed aside various articles of clothing,
in moments, amidst passionate, fevered whispers, Itvasme was on the verge of completing…
his task.
Itvashim shuddered as he groped around in the darkness. Something... didn't feel right, but he had come... too far... to pull out now...
