174 - Pure Evil
Mez Zyfan Io Karanthir Jesse
2012
Sunday morning ...
MEZ:
Wow you look awful. Are you OK?
ZYFAN:
I am experiencing the after effects of jello shots which Jesse introduced me to last night. They seemed quite harmless at the time, however I have since changed my opinion of them and now believe them to be pure evil disguised as pretty colors.
MEZ:
I hear you.
ZYFAN:
Mez, I owe you an apology. I was unable to prevent Jesse from
becoming drunk. I hope he did not disturb your sleep.
MEZ:
Don’t worry about it. Since Racolo isn’t here, I slept in his room.
Can I get you something?
Meanwhile ...
IO:
Hello Karanthir. Is there something the genie can do for you?
KARANTHIR:
That is a loaded question, and one that will have to wait,
at the moment I want Jesse.
IO:
He is asleep.
KARANTHIR:
That’s easily fixed.
IO:
But the genie promised he would not be disturbed.
KARANTHIR:
I'm sorry Io, but you won’t be keeping that promise.
IO:
Oh? Will Jesse be pleased to see you?
KARANTHIR:
I think not.
IO:
But, he is not feeling very well …
KARANTHIR:
Good. That will make it all the more enjoyable for me.

JESSE:
Hey! …Karanthir? What the ...? Ow! Holy crap - my friggin’ head!
KARANTHIR:
Feeling a little under the weather are we?
JESSE:
Get off my freakin’ bed! Who told you
you could be here?
JESSE:
… Woa, I sat up too fast. Man, I don't feel too good.
Io how could you let him in here?
IO:
He said he wanted you.
JESSE:
He said – what? Ow! I don't need this right now. Just get out!
IO:
Yes Jesse, right away.
JESSE:
Io wait ...
Io leaves.
KARANTHIR:
Nice going, you just scared off your concubine.
JESSE:
Io! Ow my head …
KARANTHIR:
It’s just as well we're alone. He can be somewhat … distracting and I need you to focus on the events of last night, with my prince.
JESSE:
You mean Zyfan and the jello shots? Hahaha. You shoulda seen him, he's
So funny when he’s wasted. Ow, it hurts to laugh. So what’s your problem?
KARANTHIR:
I’m so glad you asked. You see Jesse, my prince is suffering from a
hang-over he acquired while under your watch. A situation
which is unacceptable to me.
JESSE:
Well having this stupid conversation with you is
unacceptable to me - so go away.
KARANTHIR:
Somehow I get the feeling you’re not taking me seriously…
Back in the living room ...
IO:
Mez, please come? The genie fears that Jesse is in trouble.
ZYFAN:
Io, why should you think such a thing?
IO:
Karanthir is with Jesse now and …
ZYFAN:
Oh no …
ZYFAN:
… Mez, I think perhaps Jesse may very well be in danger.
Karanthir most likely blames him for my present condition …
MEZ:
So do I.
ZYFAN:
Perhaps that is so - but I would be most unhappy if he over reacted.
I think we should go and ...
