Voice-testing

[dear_jim]

It's a bit funny, you know, the way people only protest strings when they can see them. But call them Love, call them Honor, Friendship, Wealth - you'll watch them all ensnare themselves. Cut them away and they'll hate you for it.

[ A casual, almost helpless shrug. ]

People like being controlled. Call it my String Theory, if you like. It hasn't failed me yet.

That said, my dear, I can't much protest that pretty little tether you're winding 'round me. Let's just keep in mind that I've got my hand on it too, hm? Keep it interesting and you won't have to find out how strong I can be.

[ A rather devious wink over a sharp smile before he's moving on, arching both brows and brightening a bit more. ]

Oh yes, everyone's so atwitter with the upcoming New Year.

I'm excited too.

I've got a few surprises in store, but then, you didn't have to watch all those videos to know that, did you? Clever clever.
