What is _this_, **Slortar**?!! Only 24 hours of being my arch-nemesis and you are already sniffing around the heels of that red-headed wench?! (No offence, **Persephone**. ;)) And you’re not even that good! You left me all tied up with a mountain of extra-spicy pork rinds, sharks in a tank, and your two idiot robot henchmen, and then…nothing. No evil chortling about my imminent demise, no leering explaination of how I was going to die a horrible death, _nothing_ ! Talk about a bummer! Somebody needs a spanking, is what I’m thinking. **Persephone** , I would double-check **Slortar’s** references before you give him serious consideration. Besides, he’s going to be busier with me than he thinks. 😃 ---

\ Ah, **Wintermute** , but the waiting’s the most insidious part of my torture. Here I was about to unleash the torture of the 10,000 Grease Weasels and you had to spoil it. Oh, very well. Sheesh, I remember the good old days when an arch-nemesis wasn’t expected to be monogamous…oh, yes, I could be the sole arch-nemesis of an entire team of superheroes, but noooo… For your, um, presumption, I will make you pay. Viggo, Tor, Curly, Sven and Otto, grease those weasels up… \ ---

Listen, you think you can adequately service both Persephone and me, go for it. As for the waiting, yes, it is indeed exquisite torture. Or it would be if you hired competent henchmen. I got out of that last one without even breaking a nail. I just yelled, “What’s that over there?!”, and walked out while they were looking over their shoulders going, “What? What?”. You should shell out for some better help. I laugh at your greased weasels! Ha, ha! This is fun! ---

Here we go again: first breathe of Spring and Persephone starts a-yammering. . Up from the Underworld, can’t say one juicy nasty thing about her. Sorry, Cristi, you’re just too nice and ripe for any shitty-ass thoughts. I’ll try to wrack me brains, tho… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Scotticher \* > \*\*[sub]I didn’t get your Valentine Card done in time. I’m sorry. ☹ [/sub] \*\* I dunno. That just doesn’t _scream_ evil. I mean, had you said, “I didn’t get your Valentine Card done in time because I could never pin your [insert family member pronoun here] down long enough to cut out his/her still-beating heart for the main decoration,” then yeah, that’d be Sworn Enemy-worthy. YM, of course, MV. :eek: ---
