Came across some spam with the subject "Verified Damsels". Now I want a short story about the government department in charge of verifying and licensing damsels, and punishing the hero for rescuing an unverified and unlicensed damsel. And/or a damsel who has to rescue herself and go on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment because she can't get properly verified.

@fastfinge None of them will be disabled, because the verification flow is inaccessible.

@fastfinge Just ask your friendly neighborhood AI and I'm sure it'll come up with a few options. Lol!

Verified Damsel

As soon as the Wi-Fi repeater was installed in the tower, the princess scrolled the parchments for magical life hacks.

So, when the witch's curse echoed in the glade, the princess gripped her DIY amulet. The V-shaped pendant began to glow softly, and the curse bounced. "Verified: hex-proof," she grinned.

"Impossible," hissed the witch, "I shouldn't have trusted that self-cleaning cauldron tutorial, cursed technology!" And she snapped her broom in two.

"Excuse me, miss. You are a verified damsel? I'll need to see some I.D.," said the knight, his once-shining armor starting to dull a bit around the edges.

The lady in a long, flowing dress looked flustered. She shook the bars of her cage in disbelief.

"Ugh. Well, I don't have my card on me right now. I was just kidnapped, you know."

She glared at the huge dragon between them, who casually blew twin smoke rings from his nose.

"Don't look at me. It's not my rules," it rumbled.
