annoyances ;; {!VOICE}

[predatored]

[So he had picked up the phone with every intention of speaking about that party that had passed. He was curious about the hosts for that evening and was hoping for some answers when someone entered the room he was using as a study. He sets the receiver down, not expecting to be long.]

I would prefer it if you would knock--

Oh I'm sorry

*Double take. Zombie's been out for awhile, but he recognizes that voice. He doesn't remember, of course, who it belongs to. There's a long pause before he says anything.*

Your wife's been turned into a drone, then? That's not unusual.

[predatored]

[Unfortunately he doesn't recognize the voice, it's been awhile.]

Perhaps, but my previous wife left me alone, which is what I preferred.

[snazzy_cadaver]

It's something you learn to deal with.

{Now onto the real question.}

How do you know Mr. Achenleck?

[predatored]

[He'll take a moment to think over his words carefully. The last time he spoke of Mr. Achenleck to a voice he didn't recognize he ended up with a headache. So he would rather not have a white knight repeat.]

I'm sure that's none of your business.

[bethebetterman]

[And he's just as ruffled about overhearing Finas' stupid wife doing things like bringing him stupid tea.]

Good, who needs her, right?

That party was such a waste of time. I can't believe we even went.

[predatored]

I preferred my previous wife, she wasn't affectionate and she left me alone.

Well there was a slight chance of something happening, I have heard that some people were injured though. That has me curious.

[bethebetterman]

[Silent rage] ... So you think she'll get fixed?

Eh. Would've been better if we were the ones to cause some of that injury.

[predatored]

I would hope so, the loving wife routine will get very tiring very quickly. So this is what you had to put up with, hm? I can now sympathize.

[It's been an age or two since he was last called 'sweetheart', and he didn't enjoy it.]

Ah, but we were a little too preoccupied. A little too ill to do too much damage.

[wimpyvampire]

Oh yes. What a pity.

[predatored]

[Okay you know what? He's tried being polite, but this attitude of yours has gotten on his very last nerve. But he let's out a puff of breath, still sounding as calm as you please.]

That is quite enough, Mr. Achenleck.

[wimpyvampire]

*He rolls his eyes and scoffs, resting the phone between his ear and shoulder.*

Keh.

[predatored]

[Calm. Caaaalm.]

If you have a problem with me, Mr. Achenleck, perhaps you should do something about it. I already know of your place of work, you wouldn't be that hard to find.

[a_crazygirl]

[Toni's tempted to demand what Finas did to his wife to 'break' her, but the last time she got in a row with one of these two she only got Conrad in trouble.]

You went to the party, huh?

[predatored]

[Well it was a good thing she didn't say anything, since he's a little tired of dealing with high strung and offensive women. And he recognizes her voice right off.]

Ah, the wolf.

[Note to self; keep Cas away from her.]

I did, it was rather quiet.

[a_crazygirl]

[Snerk] Yeah, that's me.

[Too late for that, ololol]

Guess I was wrong then. You couldn't have paid me enough to show up; I like being alive and with all my limbs attached.

[predatored]

You didn't miss much, yet I heard talk of several individuals getting injured because of it.

[A slight pause.]

I suppose you are here for Mr. Achenleck's benefit? No offense, Miss, but I really do not see his appeal. He is rude, has an attitude and seems to be lacking a spine. Are there endearing traits I'm just not seeing? Or are all of you white knighting on his behalf for lack of anything better to do.

[His tone is quite calm, just genuinely curious here.]
