[This is an audio click--SMACK!!] What the fuck was that for-- [SMACK!!]

Take it like a man.

[Some rustling noises.]

Motherfucker I'm trying to...shit it's on.

[Actually spoken into the device.] Everything's cool. Pink's a son of a bitch.

[Then a click off.]

It coulda been but it wasn't.

What happened?

Shot in the belly.

It was my fault.

[Claire's end of the line presents with a long stretch of silence, because she wasn't expecting an answer.]

The kind of 'my fault' where you were in trouble or the kind of 'my fault' where you dropped a loaded firearm?

Neither. I just...I just had this thing where I couldn't remember where I was, you know? It wasn't no curse or whatever the fuck you wanna call that shit. It was somethin' else.

It's been going around. I forgot how to bake. [Among other things, or thing, namely the reason for her recent bitchiness.] You forgot where you were and your natural reaction was to start shooting?

[Now he sounds surprised.]

Really? [Not quite relief.] Something happened, it put me in a real bad place, I just went off. Then after all that everything started comin' back.

Yeah. [She sounds dismissive.] I've seen regular curses like that. They change who you are completely and when you come out of them at midnight, all you're left with is this sick feeling. And blood, in your case.

But you're alright now?

Yeah, I'm alright.

[He's going out on a limb with this one.] You?

Peachy keen.

You sure?

I haven't been shot recently, if that's what you're asking.

i know you ain't into that, I'm talkin' baking accidents. I mean, you do have'em right? You ain't a master baker.

What, like burning myself? [It happens all the time, it's just broadcast less often.] I haven't had any explosions or anything, but I burn myself all the time.

You shoulda told me that earlier I woulda got you mitts.

I don't need mitts.

So what you're like one of those girls who likes to get burned? I'm not judgin' or anything...

[Just weird to have your kink in the food place fffff.]

[Claire makes a disgusted noise in the back of her throat. Fortunately it's not too disgusted.]

How do you even jump to that conclusion?

You burn yourself all the fuckin' time but you don't want mitts. What else am I supposed to jump to?

[She so does not want to even tell you this, Freddy, you don't deserve it.]

In the interest of making sure you don't go around telling people I'm some kind of sexual deviant, I regenerate.

You say that like it's wrong and dirty--

What?

[Uh...]

Anything and everything pertaining to my sex life is definitely, absolutely none of your business.

I'm only gonna do this once, so pay attention.

[The video turns on, and Claire appears with a bratty sort of smile and a pair of scissors. She shows an unblemished palm, fingers spread to five points. Then she cuts viciously across one of the long lines mapping her hand and holds that up so that he can watch it heal. When that's finished, she switches back to audio.]

I'm not really concerned with burns.

What are you--

[There are only two words for this display.] Holy fucking shit.

[Oh wait that's three words. What the fuck.]
