Okay, voice - I got the message already, you need some help.

What's in it for me?

[King pitches his voice very low, imitating those voices that have gotten him so irritated over the last few hours.]

Twooooo cooookes, a vaaallliuuum and some cheeeeseee frieeees.

[talkback_stein]

[Chase laughs; well, if that doesn't cut the mood like a hot knife through butter.]

Deal.

[hadalotofsugar]

[King finds no point in actually worrying about the voices. Well, he is worried, hence why he's searching for them, but he's not going to get bent out of shape.]

Unfortunately, we're going to put the vaaaaliuuum in the cheeeeeseee frieeees.

[talkback_stein]

Can't I get the valium with a side order of cheese fries?

[The way Chase is breakin' this down, is a little different. He's got reason to be suspicious...]

[hadalotofsugar]

[King snickers with the comm turned off, and then replies.]

Buuuut that would defeat the purpoooose.

[His voice normalizes a bit on the end there.]

[talkback_stein]

What sort of crappy fast food joint are you running here, disembodied voice? Come on!

[This is why he likes King.]

I want fries with that!

[hadalotofsugar]

You want to criticiiiiise freee serviiiice?

[He is so entertained right now, seriously. It's a good distraction from the voices.]

Ffffffine. Valium and some cheeeeeese fries.

But no cokes now.

[talkback_stein]

Okay, okay - maybe I was being a bit mean.

[Time to barter.]

One coke.

[hadalotofsugar]

[There's a very distinct 'hmph' noise over the comm.]

Threeee quarterrrs of a cooooke.

[talkback_stein]

[It's probably not going to get much better than this.]

Okay. Three quarters of a coke, some valium, and a side of cheese fries.

[hadalotofsugar]

Okay.

[There's a silence for a few moments, almost like King's left, and then he speaks in his normal voice.]

I can get you the first and last things, but I don't have any valium, man. Just a shitload of ibuprofen.

[talkback_stein]

Laaame.

[But he figured about as much.]

You gonna' wait this one out too, or are you getting your ass kicked with the rest of 'em?

[hadalotofsugar]

I'm looking around, but I'm under orders to turn tail and run like a little girl should I find anything.

[talkback_stein]

[Chase laughs. He's seen King. King's not a small guy.]

A good a plan as any.

[hadalotofsugar]

[King can still run quite fast and uncannily resembling a little girl!...maybe!]

I guess - much rather figure out what's going on and get this over with, but dying wasn't fun the first or the second time around.

[talkback_stein]

Well, the way I figure - if I call for help, it's gonna' go down the hall. This chick can call for help, it goes down every hall.

I don't think she needs our help so much as... she wants to help herself, you know what I mean?
