[There's a crackle, and then a new voice is coming over the radio. She sounds pleasant, and happy to be here, though there's a bit of an edge to it, like she might be stressed out about something.]

Hello, everyone. Since a lot of you are out exploring these islands, I thought this would be the easiest way to introduce myself to those of you I don't know. I'm Elsa. I've been with the Carnival for just a little over two years now, and, well, I'm also your new Treasurer.

If any of you are part of the treasury division, you can contact me through the treasury's channel. Or you can use 144.95613 to reach just me.

I'm looking forward to meeting you all. Thank you.

[That might have sounded a tad over-practiced, but she did it.]

Welcome back.

[handwringing]

Thank you. It's nice to be back.

[Even though she's learned that the Carnival has Been Through Some Shit.]

[dorkypantsuit]

You came back at just the right time.

That position's needed someone competent enough to fill it for a while.

[handwringing]

You say that like you didn't have much confidence in the last one...

But I hope I'll be able to meet your expectations.

[dorkypantsuit]

If you knew the last one you wouldn't either.

[handwringing]

I worked for the last one.

[the tone of her voice says it all]

[dorkypantsuit]

[He laughs.]

God, what a prick that guy was.

[handwringing]

I'm surprised he didn't clean out the treasury when he left...

[The Ringmaster might have tried to kill him for that, though.]

Then again, I haven't caught up on all the numbers.

[dorkypantsuit]

Even he isn't that stupid. Maybe...

[handwringing]

I wonder...

[Enough about that guy though, on to other topics.]

How are things around here? [Besides, you know, the vampire thing.]
