*Everybody's phones picks up a signal from Misery. Looks like she's advertising again... Hang on, is she singing? Although it seems slightly modified.*

I've again popped around today
Sellin' promises and potions
That could
Take a memory away
Help forget you'd ever met her

Tell me
Can't I please
Kindly take away the misery?
Give you
A baker's dozen please
Wrap you up to go away

*And then, suddenly, the line cuts. A few minutes later, it pops back up, and Misery looks a bit, uh...



Yeah.*

...get this blasted thing to -- ah, it's coming out normal again, good. That's the SECOND time I've had that happen in a communication today! That... SINGING. I NEVER sing. Isn't this blasted insane weather enough torment?

Is that so? You should really invest in a redesign. Never know when misunderstandings like this might arise.

*But she does seem to relax slightly, somehow.*

Anyway, the point of the problem isn't the SINGING. The point is that this has only started happening RECENTLY, which means something ELSE is causing it.

[He'd comment on how armor design was far out of his hands but...there wasn't point.]

Have you thought of solving it? I'm sure others, including myself, are probably just going to wait it out.

[misery_hates_company]

I'm sure if I nag the right people, they'll handle the issue. Ho ho.

[greatergone]

Who are the right people?

[misery_hates_company]

"Heroes," of course! They're too goody-goody not to try to get to the bottom of nonsense like this.

*Oh god, there's music building up again. We apologize for this.*

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive!

*Record scratch. Conveniently before the relevant bits.*



BLAST IT ALL TO OBLIVION!

[....this world is coming to an end.]

If you hate it that much, use an adhesive on your mouth while your...heroes do their work.

With the sort of sappy pap that's coming out of my mouth anyway, I may have no choice! Urrrgh, this is even worse than the LAST issue that plagued this place.
