Set after Becoming 2, but before Anne; in an alternate dimension.

For you, Jai. You know that anti-Angel pic that you made that said, 'and this is just after five minutes with Robyn?' Well, this story goes right along that theme. :)

Get better soon.

Sir?

Yes?

We're having a bit of a problem with one of the new arrivals.

Which one?

Mr. Angel, sir.

Really? I honestly thought that he would be a cinch to torture. You ARE supposed to be a professional, after all.

We've tried everything we could think of. Whips, lashings, flashbacks. No matter what we do, he'll just whimper and start moaning about how horrible he is, how he doesn't deserve anything, and so forth.

I was under the impression that that was the end result we were aiming for.

But he *arrived* here like this! The damned are starting to complain.

They're supposed to complain. We aren't running a health spa here.

But just ten minutes of listening to him complain is enough to completely snap a soul! He's actually getting commission checks!

Damn, we can't have that. It sets a bad example to the rest of the damned. I'll try and pull a few strings, and in the meantime just try and keep him occupied.

Sir? We've all tried, and none of us can get anything to work. Not even John Tesh could make a dent.

............this is serious. Tesh is one of our best men. I keep this number for emergencies.

Are you sure that we should use this alternative? I've heard that her methods are a bit unconventional.

Unconventional or not, she has one of the most twisted minds around. I'm even willing to break my own policy about independent contractors.

Yes, sir.

Let's just hope that Miss Snowshoe will take the job.

*****

You have to admit, it *is* effective.

Yes, but still quite disturbing. And far too sadistic for me. Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer a simple acid-dipping myself.

Well, she did provide all of her own equipment, so it was cost-effective.

But Tele-tubby videos?

He hasn't spoken coherently in days. And the twitching is really quite interesting.

A good job, then. Pass my commendations along to Miss Snowshoe.

And go here to see the picture that inspired such insanity.
