LEAVE A MESSAGE.

Hey, fancy girl. How's training going?

[She might detect the sound of Zoey sharpening a knife in the background.]

{ voice }

[wont]

[ Alayne's end of the line is deathly quiet. When she's not needed, she retreats to her own space if only to allow herself a blankness that is otherwise obliterated by the need to constantly act. ]

How might you think? [ She has an accent, something vaguely English and most certainly posh, though no one knows if it's affected or simply the way Alayne truly speaks. ] They insist I learn all manner of crude things.

[ Her voice turns sweet. ] Why must I when I have you, mm?

{ voice }

[callszombiebullshit]

[Zoey chuckles, proud of her crudeness.]

Totally. Though you've spent time with me and don't swear like a sailor yet, so I don't know what makes them think they'll have better luck.

[ Alayne clucks her tongue. ]

There's more than enough of that from the lot of you already. I'm to provide a— [ A beat. ] —different experience.

The world is in need of all types.

[callszombiebullshit]

Oh yeah. You're the one they send out to poison the CEO's tea and crumpets, right?

{ voice }

[wont]

As if they'd leave the task to Dante. His tea and crumpets would explode, more like.

{ voice }

[callszombiebullshit]

And G-strings and dollar bills would drift down from the sky in the aftermath.

{ voice }

[wont]

[ She actually groans. ]

He's terrible. [ WHY DOES SHE LIKE HIM. ] I don't know why they don't just trade him away.

{ voice }

[callszombiebullshit]

[Uh huh. Just keep telling yourself that.]

Because he's good at what he does.

{ voice }

[wont]

[ Have I mentioned she's great at self-deception? ]

That's hardly an excuse. We all are, aren't we? In our own ways. They'd hardly keep us on if it weren't the case.

{ voice }

[callszombiebullshit]

[Better than possibly being a psychopath, right?]

Yeah, but he's good at the whole "not broken and bloody at the end of a mission" thing. Teams I go out with always come back in body bags.

[She clicks her tongue. In her mind, it's their own fault if they turn their backs to her. Maybe that's why she gets mainly solo missions now.]

He may be a dick, but he's the kind of dick I approve of.
