[ a young woman's voice comes on the Vine. she does not sound pleased. in fact, 'furious' might be a more appropriate way to describe it. ]

What is the meaning of this?! I demand an explanation! Right now! [ there is a loud, sharp CRACK!, the sound of leather hitting hard against the ground. ]

Any foolish answers will be met with a whipping! I don't want to waste my time hearing nonsense explanations!

[ she ends this with another CRACK!, to emphasize her point. ]

[ that is probably true! not that Franziska's going to admit that, of course, but she still gets pretty riled up in response, twisting her whip between her hands as she tightly holds onto it ] If you even consider touch my whip, you'll be in for more pain than you ever thought imaginable! And unless you can provide me with indisputable evidence -- which I doubt -- I've got no reason whatsoever to believe that's the truth!

[thetrueblow.livejournal.com]

Oh? Could you rip my guts out, maybe? Or tear an arm off? It's been a while since I've felt that kind of pain, and I'm looking for a challenge...

[All said with complete sincerity.]

The talking cats, maybe.

[ a CRACK! as her whip comes into contact with the ground ] How much more nonsense do you plan on sprouting from your foolish mouth?! If this is your concept of possessing a sense of humor, I'll have you know I'm not nearly entertained!

[thetrueblow.livejournal.com]

So you're not going to rip an arm off.

Lame.

[whipcracks.livejournal.com]

No, much like how I'm not going to be conversing with small, fuzzy animals! Stop being ridiculous!

[thetrueblow.livejournal.com]

You said I'd be in for more pain than I thought imaginable. The whip sounds like pretty boring pain to me.

Seriously, talk to the cats. They'll bring you things.

[whipcracks.livejournal.com]

A whip can bring you more than enough pain, I promise you that!

And what, exactly, can cats bring me? Half-eaten mouse carcasses?

[thetrueblow.livejournal.com]

I've got an idea!

You whip me 10, 20 times.

Then, I break one of your fingers.

We see which one hurts more!

[Spoken with no small amount of good cheer.]

Scrolls, mostly.

-- You dare threaten me?!

[thetrueblow.livejournal.com]

You're saying you're gonna whip me. I wanna see if you've got true power or if you're just a small fry.

So if you can make your whip actually hurt more than me breaking your finger, we can move onto more whippings, and then me breaking your wrist.

You know, like a contest!

[whipcracks.livejournal.com]

W-what is the matter with you?!

[thetrueblow.livejournal.com]

I wanna see if you can actually hurt me! You sound pretty weak, but I dunno, maybe you could surprise me!

[whipcracks.livejournal.com]

[ stepping back, now ] That wasn't an invitation to do battle!

1/3

[thetrueblow.livejournal.com]

You want to whip me...

But you don't want me to fight back.

[thetrueblow.livejournal.com]

[thetrueblow.livejournal.com]

Wow, you sure are weak!

[whipcracks.livejournal.com]

Nrrgh! Stop trying to taunt me! Just because I don't go around breaking people's fingers for no reason does not mean I'm weak!

[thetrueblow.livejournal.com]

Not being able to take what you dish out sounds pretty weak.

I don't even wanna beat you up anymore. It'd just be bullying.

[whipcracks.livejournal.com]

[ WHIPPING THE GROUND ] Quiet, you!

[thetrueblow.livejournal.com]

How about we keep it simple?

If you whip me, I'll punch you.

That seems fair.

[whipcracks.livejournal.com]

You will not!

[thetrueblow.livejournal.com]

Kicking? Headlocks? Piledrivers? Knees? Palm heels?

Or I could get a whip and whip you right back, that'd be really fair...

[whipcracks.livejournal.com]

Fool! My whip is not to be retaliated!

[thetrueblow.livejournal.com]

You want me to just stand still and not do anything while you whip me.

[whipcracks.livejournal.com]

That's the way it works.
