Her perfect, red fingernails clacked in a steady rhythm as her fingers tapped restlessly on the stainless steel countertop. The clacking echoes hollowly off the white tile walls and a very faint look of discontent almost mars her perfect features.
Her sultry voice strokes her servant-engineer as she murmurs pettishly, "I am bored, Howie, amuse me."
What looked a moment ago like a pile of rumpled tan laundry laying at her feet suddenly animates, and a mousy man rises from his grovel, a frightening leer spreading across his mishappen features, "Yessss Mistressss", he hisses, "I ... have been saving this for you."
One delicate eyebrow arches upwards a millimeter and she nearly smiles as he scurries off cackling wildly. A few moments later he returns with a crisp, freshly printed invoice and kneels at her feet, holding it above his head in his grubby hands for her to read.
The smile that spreads over her face is at once stunningly beautiful, and cold as the darkest hate one finds in the bottom of Rove's soul. A chilling, seductive laugh floats from between her perfect, red lips and descends like mana on poor Howie's head.
"Mail it, Howie, mail it to them at once."
A look of contentment smooths away the threat of imperfection from her porcelain brow and she turns on a monitor that displays a pretty blue house nestled in a small growth of pine trees, anticipating with glee the howls of dismay that would soon be heard echoing from inside its walls.
