KP31(2)<Speaker>Suomi</Speaker>||:Shouldn't we go and check on her? She seems really down.
RFB(2)<Speaker>Am RFB</Speaker>||:No, just give her some space.

Px4Storm(2)<Speaker>Px4 Storm</Speaker>||:Indeed. +But such a passionate greeting is hardly necessary, is it?
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<SE1>Rope</SE1>:Px4 Storm looks down at the gift-wrapping ribbon that has been tied tightly around her. If she remembers correctly, it's the exact same ribbon that she used to tie up CAWS.
hkcaws(5)<Speaker>CAWS</Speaker>||:If I didn't do this, you would never listen to me properly.
hkcaws(5);Px4Storm(2)<Speaker>Px4 Storm</Speaker>||:I don't think I want to hear a word of what you're about to say.
