[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.]

[Give her a minute to respond, she's laughing over that one.]

Is your brother Susan?

[mylastchance]

[Unbelievable...]

Please don't tell me he did something already.

[handwringing]

I don't think he's excited about having a boss.

[Too bad because he has one.]

[mylastchance]

[Of course he isn't. He didn't even let Lauren suggest at him.]

He doesn't like adults telling him what to do...

[Which is sort of a big problem when you have a job.]

I'll... try to talk to him.

[handwringing]

Thank you. But really, shouldn't he be used to it by now?

[It's not like he's a toddler.]

[mylastchance]

[He hesitates. He never really likes explaining this sort of thing.]

Our parents died when he was little. It's just been the two of us for a while.

[handwringing]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[She really is. Losing parents is difficult, especially at such a young age.]

Thank you for letting me know. [That doesn't mean she'll go easy on him, though...]

[mylastchance]

It doesn't matter. It's just why he's not used to it.

Please let me know if he causes problems.

[handwringing]

Alright. I will.

What's your name?
