[ Voice again, and one preceded by a small yawn. ]
I must have been out of my mind to think that being pulled to a completely different world would make my step-sister behave any differently. But no, she's fallen right back into the same pattern as back home. I guess you could say the place really does feel like home now.
[ She laughs slightly, and there is a pause. ]
... at any rate it looks like I'll be looking for a second job. [ Roadkill couldn't get flatter than her voice here. ] That's ... fine too. [ It's totally not. ]
But I guess that also means I'll have to rearrange my schedule a bit.
[ Her tone next lilts up a bit with a hint of her usual mischievousness. ] That reminds me. [ The video feed turns on for a close up of her hand, on which
this little guy is perched. ]
I found this little guy out in the yard. Cute isn't he? I think I'll go show him to Hattie. [ By leaving him on her stomach while she slept. The feed ends, only to turn on a few minutes later, with Ella sidling out of Hattie's room. ]
... and three...two...one...
[ A woman starts screaming in the background. Ella bites her lip to keep from laughing. ]
Childish? Yes. Worth it? ... [ She pauses, laughter bubbling up in her voice. ] Oh you have NO idea. [ This time the feed ends without turning back on. ]
[ OOC: Reveeeeeeeeeeeeenge. Annd with consent of "poor" Hattie. She totally had it coming. ]
