Chateau Grief 259

Narration(Kore): Thirty-eight sets of screams pound into my skull.

Narration(Kore): Two have been pulled out by their comrades.

Narration(Kore): One voice…

Narration(Kore): …is getting much weaker.

Di: What happened? What is that?

Di: Is that…? Is he…?

Di: Oh God…

Kore: You’re not going to faint on me, are you? I know you’re sensitive. I’ve got to put the house back together.

Di: No...wait!

Di: This was on my desk. It’s yours, right?

Kore: So it seems.

Kore: Oh Di…this house…the injuries the hatred…power…death…

Thought(Kore): …and a ransom.

Author Notes:

Tried to lose the rock in a couch cushion somewhere.  Fails.



characters: Kore, Shane, Di

Episode Recap: 


Disintegrating fractal tentacles.  Hopefully things are calming down.  Kore tucks Shane into a comfy blanket while assessing what she can manage to do to help elsewhere.  Rescue crews are already on the job.  She quickly targets the worst off guy.  Di appears, gibbering on about something or other unimportant as she recognizes that Shane appears to be at the epicenter, pretty much confirming that he’s a telepath too.   How many is enough!, Di must be thinking.  She stops Kore just long enough to make sure that Kore’s got that one piece of jewelry that she’d tried to ditch earlier.  Yes that’s exactly right.  The only thing Di is thinking of right now after a monster magic earthquake is how she’s got to get that ring back around Kore’s neck.  Yes.  Wouldn’t want to lose it, would you Kore?  Kore puts the ring back on, defeated, but she looks like she knows more about what’s going on here than before.  And she’s thinking about a ransom, ie. Trading something for something else, right before she teleports out of the room.  Yeah right Kore, because your last attempt at a ransom worked out so darn well.
