[The audio starts abruptly, in the middle of someone talking - it's definitely not Matt, since it sounds like a young (and rather panicked) boy.]
Boy: --doing with that, scorched? Hey, that- that's one of those things--
Second Boy: [interrupting] Let us go! Hector, make him let us go! He's with that lady!
Hector: I seen those-- [he drops his voice to a very obvious stage whisper] Shut up, Karl, he won't listen to you, he's one of them.
[...and then Matt, sounding as lethargic as ever, although his voice is muffled a bit. Probably by a cigarette.]
Matt: I'm listening. You're pretty annoying. [Something taps on the Forge briefly] Don't worry, I just use this thing to blackmail people I don't like.
[There's the little chk sound of a lighter being flipped on.]
Karl: W-what are you gonna do to us? Don't kill me, I got curfew!
Matt: Yeah, maybe you should have thought of that before you started chucking eggs at people. Didn't your parents teach you not to play with your food?
Karl: You're so stupid, nobody's gonna eat those.
Hector: That dumb bitch deserved it! Did you see how mad she was? When I get outta here, boy, I'm gonna--
Karl: We got her good. I used all my eggs, she won't even... she won't get back up, I bet! Just like the rest of 'em.
Hector: You freaks are gonna get yours, just you wait.
Matt: From eggs? Christ, I thought maybe you'd have a more treacherous plan than just giving us fucking salmonella.
Karl: ...what? Hec, what's a sal-- sel-- um...
Hector: [Shouting over him, bravely] Let us go!! And we'll be merciful.
Matt: Uh huh.
Karl: That's not working!
Matt: So let me see if I've got this straight, and we'll skip the bit where you assume I'm making you into an entree later because that's so bleeding stupid I can't even think about it. If I let you go, you'll be merciful and... what, stop egging everyone? You two are shit at negotiations, you know that?
Hector: Too late. It's already done.
Matt: What's done?
[Staticy silence for a moment.]
Matt: Yeah... that doesn't tell me anything. Try again there, sport?
Hector: [coldly] You don't belong here.
Karl: ...let us go.
Hector: Let us go, scorched.
Karl: Let us go! Let me go!
[They both begin repeating that, louder and louder, and after a moment Matt mutters something into the Forge - inaudible, over the boys' yelling. The audio then cuts out.]
[ooc | yeah, so. the two kids from
this post? matt decided to interrogate them before release, and recorded the result. don't worry, he let them go without hurting them afterward.]
