Promo: Hai, so desu ne.

[Guest AnnieEclectic]

(Another argument can be heard in the hallways of the XF9 headquarters. This has started to become a slightly familiar aural experience. One female voice, shrill and angry, one male voice trying to calm the other down.)

 

Pete: Stop, and chill! I'm only putting you under a microscope as much as any other person here! I'm not accusing you of anything!

 

Annie: Funny, as I seem to be the only one sent here, constantly being asked if they're with you or not.

 

Pete: What am I supposed to think, you have a history of turning at the drop of the hat, word just got out that you and Molly split up over which shocks me as only a week ago you two were the ideal happy couple! You're constantly angry, you're brooding, pouting, and getting very irritable. Hell, you nearly beat up Ash because he, quote, 'Looked at you like you had three heads'.

 

Annie: He did!

 

Pete: NOT THE POINT! Annie, stop, seriously, you're acting like a brat and you're not winning brownie points by doing it.

 

(The Hardcore Queen quiets down.)

 

Annie: I'm sorry, but I've gotten a nice little losing streak, I just lost my lover, and I'm being brought in for private meetings rather often. ...*sigh* really, I'm sorry, it must be stress.

 

Pete: It might be. I'm sorry to keep bringing you in but you keep giving me reason to.

 

Annie: I know... I know. Look, I'll just take a day off from training, rest, take a walk or something, I'll come back a new woman. Trust me.

 

Pete: ... I hope so.

 

Annie: Don't worry Pete, come Storm, I'll show you what your faith in me can give you. I'll back you or any other Niner up. I'm not a liability.

 

Pete: All right, I understand you've not had the best of weeks as of late. Go ahead, take the day off, enjoy the weather. But don't let Tom Flesher slip by you either. I'd hate to see him get some hold on you and take you out of action.

 

Annie: I know Flesher, I'll be ready for him come Storm.

 

Pete: Good.

 

(Annie rises to her feet, smiles, and nods to Pete as she leaves his room. Walking down the corridor, she nods at Tod deKindes as she walks on towards the door heading outside. She opens it and leaves, strolling outside into a fine sunny Seattle morning. As she walks along, she comes across a phone booth. Looking behind her, she enters it, putting in exact change and dialing...)

 

 

Annie: Hello sweetie! .... Yes, yes it's all perfectly good for now but..... *sigh* yes but it's been so long! A whole month waiting and.... yes, I know it's for the best but couldn't we... you know, speed up the timetable? Friday night? But that's Storm... ohhh, I see. Yes, fine. Right... hee hee, *kiss sound* I'll see you then. You will be there right? Great, fine, no problem. Thank you, love. Till friday... ja... matta.

 

(Annie hangs up the phone, a grin spanning ear to ear.)

 

Annie: *sigh*Thirty five days... it's been a while.... soon it will all be back to normal....

END PROMO

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

Annie wants to get laid?

 

I'm confused but like the sudden "tossed-into-the-mix" confusion of these last couple pieces. I await further direction with delight and...more delight!

[Guest ErekT2k]

Worst. Promo. Ever.

 

There was no southern accent in Pete's dialogue at all!!!

 

 

 

 

 

j/k

 

I liked most of the dialogue. But still, NO ACCENT?!!!

[Guest AnnieEclectic]

I can write a southern accent, but Pete's is... well Florida southern. I have no clue what a Florida accent sounds like. I give Pete full permission to go through my promo and add in the accent, or at least give me a primer on how to write it.

 

-Annie

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

Most Florida coastal accents sound like New Jersey or assorted New England states. Because that's the only kind of people who live on the coasts.

 

In-land is a high-pitched drawl. Shudder.

[Guest 5_moves_of_doom]

Annie...doncha know!? You don't need an EXCUSE to beat up Ash, silly!

 

*kills Ash*

 

SEE?

[Guest Thoth]

At this rate, Annie will get married and have 2 kids by next week. And I know she's gay.

[Guest AnnieEclectic]

LOL

 

going....into.....sig....

 

 

-Annie

[Guest Longdogger_Pete]

Actually, as Pete's character has evolved over time, he's slowly lost the accent... it was part of his gimmick in the JL but he doesn't really need it now..

 

So it's pretty much gone, except for his shortening of the word "bid'ness." That's like, trademarked.

[Guest Ace309]

Ooooh, Plot.

 

 

Wait.

 

 

Someone already said that?

[Guest kelloggs]
