Karram listened intently as the all too familiar voice echoed from behind the door. With flawless accuracy and an almost inherent confidence, the clearly female mouthpiece described a ruby red velvet outfit and other intricate details without missing a beat. It was stunning how articulate she could be despite her quick speech pattern and eerie stoicism. It was like listening to Wednesday Addams seamlessly perform a monologue from Hamlet in one minute flat. Karram shuddered a bit as the memories crawled back into his brain; he recognized her without even laying eyes on her... now that's saying something. 

[i]Arachne...[/i]

Just as the name crossed his mind, she directed a pointed comment at him. "Oh and Karram. You're lucky that you don't still work for me. Fraternizing with former clients is strictly against 'company' policy." Karram gulped. He shot a glance at Antonio, trying to remember back to the time when his fate was intertwined with Tony and Flint. He knew for sure she wasn't involved in that case, nor was Tony technically his [i]client.[/i] Then he turned his head to the mystery girl and it came to him. 

[i]Claudia Laurel. Vehicular Manslaughter. So I do know her.[/i]

His internal monologue was interrupted by Parry's over-excited greeting as he let Arachne and the strange armored fellow into the bunker. Once Karram met her gaze, he shrugged comically. "Desperate times, Autumn," he'd reply with a smug smirk. He enjoyed Arachne's professionalism, and working for her was hardly the worst thing he's been subject to in his life, but he still found strange pleasure in playing the fool or speaking to her with a bit of sarcasm. 

"I'm Gray. I specialize in killing things that don't like staying dead. What's this about a mummy?" This was the new guy. Entirely unfamiliar to Karram. Even new to Parry, which was different. Up until now Parry had connections to nearly everyone in the party, it seemed. Of course fresh blood meant a new target for Parry's fetishes and fantasies. And this Gray guy didn't seem to like it. [i]It seems the fun never stops with this group,[/i] Karram thought.
