Before I answer, you answer, I’ve got a couple of questions to ask! And I want ‘em answered!
“No, you may not change the company name, and <span class="mu-i">no</span>, you don’t get a <span class="mu-i">cape</span>.” Spits Mantis in a flippant tone.
Damn it!
“Erm, well it depends on the questions you’re asking…” Replies Hare in a more entreating voice, “We can’t outright share certain company secrets wit-”
“Oh, just <span class="mu-i">answer</span>, will you?” Rat groans as his hologram flickers to emphasize his growing impatience! “She’ll never make a decision otherwise…”
<span class="mu-i">Thank</span> you, Mr. Rat, you reply, beaming ear to ear! He’s gonna be the first guy you promote if he keeps that attitude up!
“Yes, well,” stammers Mr. Hare, “You can’t really-”
“Shoot, Parble!” Interjects Mr. Wolf’s boisterous voice! “Vell, not at <span class="mu-i">US</span>, at least!”
No promises, you mutter under the board member’s roaring laugh! Seriously though–if you say yes are you gonna get any power or influence over the company at all, or are they just choosing someone they think they can control? I only ask because, you purr with pride in your voice, there’ve been a <span class="mu-i">lotta</span> people who thought they could mess with you…
You pause for effect.
Didn’t end well for ‘em.
“We’re aware.” Replies Ms. Crane in an unwavering tone, “Which is precisely why we chose to hold this meeting in the first place.”
“Your predecessor left us in the dark,” Explains Mr. Fox, “so we wanted to start over at <span class="mu-i">equal footing</span>, so to speak. Everyone on the same page.”
Sure, you snort, is that why they’re all hiding behind holograms and ‘<span class="mu-i">souponames</span>’ while you get to be Ms. Front-N-Center?
“Our primary defense at the moment is ‘<span class="mu-i">Subtlety</span>’,” Retorts Ms. Mantis as she hangs on the last word, “and if you truly plan on accepting our gracious offer you’d do well to learn from our example.”
You don’t even know the meaning of the word, you reply with a smug grin on your face!
“<span class="mu-r">You really don’t, do you?</span>”
Nope!
