[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I would like to offer my sincerest apologies for my outburst the other day. Attempts to contact several of my...comrades have failed, so I've concluded that something else must have happened. Therefore, I would like to request that you provide any and all information about any other similar disappearances and reappearances. For research purposes, of course. Or else!

Furthermore, this setback has not deterred me from training my Ekans. I will have my cobra! And in case any of you have forgotten, nothing will stop me from getting it! So don't even try!

People disappear relatively frequently.

No one really knows why.

Or if they do, no one's fessin' up.

_{[She squints at that ... um. Annoying, evil-sounding laugh at the end of the transmission, but EHHHH. Not like saying LOL PEOPLE DISAPPEAR RANDOMLY SOMETIMES can do much harm even if she's saying it to somebody suspicious.]}

Thank you for such a useful contribution. Is that all? How often do people return from these disappearances? Are you sure no one knows anything about it?

[There's a moment of a silence, followed by a really insincere tone.]

I may reward people who give me useful information.

_{[Have a tone of pure sugary sweetness.]}

I'm super glad I could help!

_{[The second part... actually makes makes her snerk. There's some rustling and a few muffled FFFFFs before he gets an answer.]}

Okay, I'll bite.

I can think of maybe two people who came back, months after they disappeared, who remembered they'd been here before.

And then there's been a few other people who showed up again, but had no clue who anybody was. Like they'd just gotten here for the first time.

That help you out, bro?

[Audio]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

The ones who remembered being here! Give me their names! Now!

[Audio]

[foolishwren]

First, I'd like a pony.

[Audio]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

What?

I'm not going to give you a pony! Now give me the information I want right this instant!

[Audio]

[foolishwren]

Whoa-- whoa, hold up, dude.

I'm a little confused.

I thought we had an agreement.

I'm afraid that this transaction of information just can't proceed until I am actually in possession of a pony. It's only fair.

_{[Heather learned the hard way that giving people too much info over the phone was a bad thing (thanks Leonard), so... yeah. She's just gonna troll instead.]}

[Audio]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

I never agreed to give you a pony! I said that I may reward useful information! May! Now tell me their names and if it checks out, you might get something!

And no, it won't be a pony!

[Audio]

[foolishwren]

I'm very disappointed, but I'm, like, super sorry for the misunderstanding, dude.

Anyway, there're a few alternate payments that I'd totally accept in the place of a pony, so maybe one of these options will appeal to you more.

In return for the info, I'd gladly accept five billion dollars in cash, or the key to the Haitian Zombie Formula.

Lemme know which of those is more convenient for you.

[Audio]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

What on Earth do you need a...Haitian Zombie Formula for?

And if it's money you desire, perhaps we could arrange something after all.

[Audio]

[foolishwren]

Hey, I'm not asking what you need names for, so you don't ask me what I need me a zombie surprise recipe for, capiche?

Anyway, money's totally cool. So just send the five billion over whenever's convenient, and then you'll get your names. Deal?

[Audio]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

I want the names first! Then we can arrange a payment schedule!

And tell me what you want this zombie formula for! You aren't getting away from the subject that easily!

[Audio]

[foolishwren]

Hold up now, you're the one who's the most desperate for this stuff, so I think I wanna make the calls. Five million in cash, or the Haitian Zombie Formula. I need to have one or the other before I share any more info. That's the way the world works, man.

And dude, I said it was a surprise. Jeez, you're nosy.

Maybe it's those block things that told us to get out and they kidnap people!

[Because when you want rumor-mongering and overactive fears based on... nothing, look no further than Jango.]

[Audio]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

[Not that anyone can see it, but he's staring at the Pokegear with a look of intense confusion under his mask.]

Are you seriously suggesting I was kidnapped by...by a bunch of blocks?

[Audio]

[1-2-jango-zzzz.livejournal.com]

Maybe. Or... I think they returned you. Because you were gone until them. So maybe they rescued you!

[Audio]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

[There's a few minutes of silence.]

Yes, that makes perfect sense. All this time I've been trying to figure out what happened when the answer involved a bunch of blocks that probably don't exist! Why are you wasting my time with this nonsense?

[Audio]

[1-2-jango-zzzz.livejournal.com]

IT'S NOT NONSENSE! Fine! Get kidnapped again. If a strong guy like Fullbody couldn't fight them off, no way can anyone else!

[Audio]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

IT IS NONSENSE! And if you insist on taking that tone with me, I will make sure that being kidnapped by blocks is the least of your worries!

[Audio]

[1-2-jango-zzzz.livejournal.com]

EEEEP.

SORRY BOSS! I'm SORRY!

[Audio]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

That's more like it! Now do you have anything else to report that doesn't involve blocks?

[Audio]

[1-2-jango-zzzz.livejournal.com]

Like what?

[Audio] I feel bad for Jango's ears :(

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

ANYTHING IMPORTANT YOU MORON!

[Audio] They go through worse. I feel bad for CC... period :| XD Jango = worst lackey EVER

[1-2-jango-zzzz.livejournal.com]

What I find important might not be what you find important! [AND YOU CAN HEEEEAAAAR the shaking in his voice.]

[Audio]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

You're trying my patience! Just tell me and I'll decide if it's important or not!

And for your sake you had better hope it's something I find important.
