[only sent to all you ~new arrivals~]

[the voice that speaks as the recording starts sounds highly amused] There really are a lot of you new folk around. Almost makes you wonder what all those persnickety old goats are up to. [a laugh, cut short when the recording appears to cut off suddenly]

[only sent to Wire]You can thank me for the pleasure

YOU.

[She is beyond anger right now, clearly. Beyond words of anger.]

[sent only to Wire]

[dangerxrush]

[this is glee. pure glee] I see it's a pleasant surprise, then!

[sent only to Chet]

[firexwire]

[She chooses to speak to him with her thickest Russian accent as well as hints of French to show her mood - very very upset with him.]

Guess vhat happens when I find you, mon chéri? It vill make last time seem most pleasant.

Vhat vere you thinking, coming ere without telling me virst?

You are lucky that I alvays keep tabs on those I take to bed.

[And now she smiles cruelly.]

Or tie to a tree...

[sent only to Wire]

[dangerxrush]

[musing. or mocking. well, you know.] I'll have to ask my people why you're not on the list of people to notify of my movements. I can't believe there was such an oversight, not telling you I was coming to your rave-up.

[a blatant pause of shock. or not!shock.] But hold on a minute, just hold up. Don't say I'm not the only one you go tying to trees.

[sent only to Chet]

[firexwire]

'Rave-up'...you...I vill tear you to pieces... slowly and vith great care...

[She grins wickedly.]

You are the only vone to come avay from the tree vith all of his fingers still intact.

You're telling me you're not having a bash here? With all these guests?

You do know how to make a man feel special. I would ask if it was the skill, but that wasn't my fingers.

[sent only to Chet]

[firexwire]

I do not approve of any guests brought here vithout my approval, you know this, I spoke to you of this vhile nearly dislocating your arm!

Unfortunately I do not have the last say here, I am not officier, I do not have the proper authority to throw each of these envahisseur from my home!

[She scoffs.]

It is your skill - believe me, or you would not currently be alive to enjoy your fingers or anyvone else's.

[Her eyes narrow.]

Your being alive is a situation vhich I am coming to regret, chéri.

[sent only to Wire]

[dangerxrush]

Unfortunate, so unfortunate! They didn't ask your vote.

Ha! Elections. How funny, they used to do that!

[a pause]

No? Nothing? This is historical comedy gold.

[a shrug. some people just don't have a sense of humor]

Speaking of anyone else's fingers...

[sent only to Chet]

[firexwire]

[Her smile is cold and dry.]

This is no time for a history lesson.

[Wire's lips curl faintly, mocking coolly.]

Vhat...jealousy, aime mon chien?

[sent only to Wire]

[dangerxrush]

There's always time for history!

[he's on a roll. cracks himself up]

What? Oh, ha! Very good, very good, I hadn't even thought of that.

[sent only to Chet]

[firexwire]

Considering you don't think at all that's not very surprising.

[sent only to Wire]

[dangerxrush]

Ouch! And here I thought up all of this just for you!

[sent only to Chet]

[firexwire]

[She smiles wryly.]

How very romantic. Perhaps your excuse is for such a reason, but I know better. You are like anyone else - only in it to serve yourself.

But that is life, no? It is vhat we all must do to live.

[sent only to Wire]

[dangerxrush]

[brings his hands to his chest, as though shot]

A hit, you've found me out. But that it's for my own entertainment, it doesn't mean you can't get anything out of it!

To live? Oh, ha! I always forget you people are all gung-ho survival nuts.

[sent only to Chet]

[firexwire]

Life tends to vant to live.

[sent only to Wire]

[dangerxrush]

You all just make it so much harder than it has to be!
