day 219: voice | open
Well, that was unexpected.

[ the very confident and ultimately extremely british voice sounds rather less frightened than it likely should, considering the person attached to it just got told she's in prison for the rest of her life. helen's not really buying that. let them try to keep her here. ]

I have to say -- [ she raises her voice just slightly, as though speaking to the communicator isn't enough. she'd like to catch the attention of the "wardens," if possible. ] -- I usually favor face-to-face discussions, like civilized adults. None of this "enjoy your stay" from afar.

[ she supposes it could be worse. she could be stuck in a prison with addison. she pauses for a moment to internally shudder at that. dear god, if addison's here, she'll probably throw something.

at some point she'll drop the bite to her voice, but that point isn't right now. ]

I suppose the term "extenuating circumstances" means little to you. Allow me to let you in on a little secret: the last time someone tried to hold me hostage against my will, a friend and I blew them up. I'd rather not have the same happen here.

[ and with that, she cuts the communication. bait set. time to see who bites. ]

	Well well... looks like this place won't be so boring after all. [ Not sure if buying just yet. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Has it been "boring" so far? No one else willing to blow the place up? [ probably a good idea to be skeptical. for now. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Like a bloody graveyard, only less lively. [ Exaggeration for 200, Alex. ] Maybe we were all waitin' for you to come bring some life to this party. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well then. [ she offers a smirk. exaggeration or not, he's amusing her. ] Glad I could provide even momentary entertainment. I'll see what I can do about that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll get the popcorn. [ Smirk. We have a case of mutual amusement here. It's been a while since he had this fun with a newbie. ] What's your name, love? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

As long as it's fresh.

[ she might end up amusing him more in the future! she tends to roll with things, especially teasing and snark, better than he younger self would have. ]

Helen Magnus. [ it's kind of a toss-up some days as to whether or not she'll give her full title. spike gets no title, a certain level of familiarity and willingness to go on first a first name basis with him. ]

	How kind of you. I think I might enjoy it here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, if you don't mind computerized overlords who thinks they know what's best for you, it's not such a bad place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I knew there was something I wouldn't like. Nowhere's perfect, can't have everything, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know about that. It's just a matter of how badly you want it, if you ask me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lifelines 2013-05-24 05:00 am UTC (link)
	Ah. Well then. I'll definitely keep that in mind. [ she's got the tone of voice, that slight glint, to suggest that this might be a very bad idea, but oh is she going to enjoy it. ] You've been quite helpful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Wonderful. Harassing newbies is fun and all, but this is even better. A nice little surprise. ] Don't mention it. Really, don't. (Reply to this) (Parent)
