Chateau Grief 84

Grant: Zounds, Eugene! You don't have to scream at me!

Xander: You are, without a doubt, the worst babysitter I could have picked.

Xander: What were you doing when she was out cavorting with dangerous revolutionaries?

Xander: And you've been starving her.

Kore: Yes.

Xander: I'll have charges brought against you.

Grant: It's your dumb law that the work groups withhold food from members who don't participate. I remember you going on and on about John Smith and Jamestown. You even vetoed Parliament's hardship amendment.

Grant: Why don't you two have dinner together and talk about it. Isn't it getting hot in here?

Grant: And don't zap me, you coward. No one has to be a telepath to know what you're thinking.

Author Notes:

It's Thanksgiving tomorrow in the United States, and we all take this moment to remember all the people who starved to death due to laziness in the previous settlements after they had to send John Smith back to England when he exploded himself. John Smith, rocking the beard and mustache thing with a corset and pantaloons, the original Captain Jack Sparrow. American history is actually fun once you start reading the entire original documents and not just the excerpts in the textbooks. Lots of drink up me hearties yo ho. Ghost hysterias, hilarious church splits, the accidental drug use, swine plagues, generally weird people, founding by communists etc.
