[@thewizardguy][@Bluetommy] Shatter's voice sounded again, an unmistakable edge to it. "You are interfering with the High Venom. I suggest you think hard before your next action." A slight pause, enough for his words to sink in, and he rematerialized. "You are abetting a serial killer in interfering, you know. The High will be very displeased if Nudd remains alive," he said quickly, crossing all of his arms. "And I would much prefer the High Venom remains pleased, as should you." ---- "Shatter should be back by now," Venom stated simply. "Perhaps there have been complications, Mistress?" Nightmare suggested. "I'll give it another five minutes. If he's not back by then..." She left the statement hang in the air.
