[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 6570212, member: 4936"] It doesn't take Death Otter long to eviscerate the BunBun...and despite her overally weirdness, she does seem to know what she's doing. Piece after piece emerge from its guts and join one another in neat little rows that seem rather in contrast to Otter's anarchic persona. Finally she throws the doll itself and the casing callously into the wastebasket across from the table and uses a magnifying glass to inspect the goods more closely. [COLOR="#FF0000"][B]"HEY!"[/B][/COLOR] she shouts, looking up. [COLOR="#FF0000"][B]"I'M DONE IN[/B][/COLOR][COLOR="#FF0000"]...oh you're actually standing there."[/COLOR] Otter gives the people still in the kitchen where she was working a nod. [COLOR="#FF0000"]"That's kind of creepy."[/COLOR] [COLOR="#FF0000"]"ANYWAY."[/COLOR] [COLOR="#FF0000"]"So...audiovisual feed.
