Chateau Grief 255

Narration(Xander): A voice in my head is telling me: “You did this” sounds like Rhelan.

Narration(Xander): But I’m not sorry.

Narration(Xander): Not one bit.

Narration(Xander): It’s a fine beast I’ve wrought from her flesh.

Telepathy(Kore): I can’t protect these people.

Telepathy(Kore): He’s going to tear it down. Please help me put it back together as he does.

Telepathy(Xander): Oh you put up a damned good show in my bedroom.

Kore: Shh…it’s ok Thanos. It’s ok.

Kore: Ves?

Narration(Xander): It’s a pretty picture, but it makes no difference. Telepath or no, she won’t listen to reason as long as Shane’s alive.

Narration(Xander):So there’s no purpose for me here. Unless I want to kill Shane.

Narration(Xander): Noooo. No, no, no. Not right yet.

Narration(Xander): It feels good to get over a hangup.

Narration(Xander): And I am so over that…

Narration(Xander): …that poisonous hag. .

Episode Recap:  

So here’s Xander, looking down at Shane, and he’s not doing well. Kore’s worried, terrified. Xander looks on, thinking something about how Grant is his conscience, except he doesn’t have a conscience because…oh yeah, Grant isn’t here right now, is he? Kore suddenly notices that Xander’s there and asks him to help her keep the earthquake under control. She’s really worried. Yeah, he was waiting for this moment for a while. Good luck trying to pretend you don’t need or want that talented telepath in your life Kore. I guess it takes the walls falling down to drag it out of her. Kore slams the collapsing ceiling back into place. Shane is not doing good rn. When Kore gets a chance to try to beg for help again, Xander’s gone. He continues his leisurely stroll through the palace as it shatters around him. He contemplates killing Shane to ‘get Kore to listen to reason’, but decides that it will be much more entertaining to keep Shane alive for now. How he makes not murdering someone seem so evil, well thank you VEX. Shane is Kore’s problem now. I assume Xander will fix the roof tomorrow. Phil the Gateguard exchanges a wave with his liege the Dredd Evill Overlord as Xander marches out of the palace grounds in his socks.
