[There is the pressing of a few more buttons, and the video flickers on to reveal a pair of violet eyes and blond hair framing a young face. He looks exasperated. Then again, most new arrivals usually do. This one really isn't any different.]
Alfred, this isn't funny. And who gave you permission to turn one of my islands into a Hollywood set? Granted, I didn't even know this one existed, really, and at least you didn't touch Victoria Island, or Prince Edward Island, but still--! And 'Siren's Port'? What kind of a name is that? Sirens aren't even Canadian, dumbass. I mean, it's better than 'Hell', but it's still pretty bad. And before you say anything -- I've been to Hell, Michigan. You shoved me on a plane with a one-way ticket, remember? God, is that what you did this time too? Could you stop?
[Just. Sigh.] And if you really wanted a zombie apocalypse theme park, why can't you just use one of your own islands? No, actually, don't answer that. You're just going to say something about the aliens again. Look, just, call your crew off and tell them to get me to where the nearest airport is, and I won't tell Arthur about the time you got drunk and started making out with the doorknob.
[He runs a hand through his hair in an exasperated motion one last time before he ends the (what he thinks is) voicemail.]
