A small reminder of the terms of our deal

[3kul]

"Good afternoon, esteemed members of the Corporation."

HollowEyes addressed the camera before him in a rather polite manner, but he was not actually there. In his place was the rather pitiful Cornelius, struggling holding up a large audio device. "In case you've forgotten the melodious sound of my voice, my name is HollowEyes. Long time no see."

"I'm actually in hiding at the moment, and as such it's a little hard to keep up with my usual duties, so unfortunately this message is being delivered a little late... But better late than never, right? The one carrying my recording should be the Council's punching bag, Cornelius, just in case you're curious." Cornelius bowed nervously as he was introduced, still managing to keep a firm grip on the audio device. "Anyway, as you may or may not recall, the Evil Council made a deal with you just over a year ago."

"In a nutshell, the deal involved you sending us a large number of your ability blocking devices in exchange for 'a favour', to be called upon whenever you should wish to do so... Provided that they adhere to a number of our conditions, which your representative, Laur Doyle, agreed to. If she's the one listening to me I'm sure she'll see where I'm going with this, but in case she's not or whoever's listening isn't aware of these conditions, one of them (number 5, I believe) was that the favour must be called on within a year, with no extensions granted."

"As I mentioned before, more than a year has passed since that day, so sadly your favour has expired. If you had something specific in mind, you are welcome to approach the Council with a proposition of your own any time, but my intention today was merely to let you know that the Council is under the impression that we no longer owe you a favour. If you've got any problems with that, you know where to find us." HollowEyes' voice cut off, and after a few seconds of static a new voice came on. "This Cornelius-delivered recording will now self destruct. Sorry in advance for the mess." "Wait, why is it saying tha-"

And with that the large box exploded, leaving very little behind of itself or the poor man who'd lugged it all the way here.

((This is a one-post notification of your favour expiring (our apologies for not realizing this sooner). So that it wasn't a totally dry read and because I felt it somewhat appropriate I made this post in a similar manner to that which had me originally propose our deal (in-character, I mean). Just like back then I'll ask you to please excuse my sudden appearance here, and to feel free to speak out of character, but this method really is the fastest way for me to reach you.

I don't really expect that you'll find us being unreasonable here as the terms seem quite clear, but if you seriously feel that the Council is out of line then feel free to send me a PM.))
