[The phone is picked up, a call is placed. The voice on the line is, at first, dangerously calm-]

To the one who stole what's mine...
[-only to become a sharply hissed whisper]

I will find you.

[After being droned, humiliated, and murdered (and ultimately dissected by his attackers), this is what tips him into a rage: his missing bat.]

[Usually, Pokey wouldn't be this brave though he would be this stupid when he picks up the receiver. He's still terrified of you Slugger, but he's able to keep it out of his voice pretty well. For now.]

You know what?

Score's 1-1. Let's call it a tie and hang it up.

Alriiight~

Good.

So...leave me alone, freakshow.

[Just you wait, Pokey.

Just you wait.

Tonight, while you sleep, a visit may be in order.]

...A-are you sure that what you lost was stolen?

[strike_you_out]

Positive.

[thelittlecanary]

I'm sorry. I hope that what you lost is returned to you, whatever it was.

[strike_you_out]

It must be taken by force.

[She's pretty sure you mean that bat, but in case you are referring to the removal of your innards, Tak thinks probably best to see if you recognize her voice.]

What got stolen from you?

[strike_you_out]

[Losing his innards is much less tolerable than losing his bat. This is completely logical.

As for her voice, nothing clicks.]

My bat.

[insectoidalien]

[Good. Dissection subjects are no good when they can come back and tell you how they feel about it least it wasn't a vivisection, right?]

Get another one.

[strike_you_out]

[If that were the case, he would be demanding results.]

Not satisfactory. I want mine.

[deaths_heritor]

Don't make public threats over the phone, Slugger. Exacting revenge is much more meaningful that way.

[strike_you_out]

Yes, Mother~

[And just when you thought he couldn't get any creepier.

Slugger reluctantly hangs up the phone, satisfied with having already broadcasted his intent for vengeance.]

[deaths_heritor]

((That should say much 'less' meaningful, of course.))

Perhaps you'd like to tell me what this is about? Droned one day, dead another?

[strike_you_out]

...It's a game.

[Perhaps not the full truth but what "little boy" doesn't love games, Miss Susan?]
