4.04 Transcript
Kiro: All right, where’s Daisy?
Kiro: Are you all right?
Darien: It’s no use. She’s breathing, but won’t wake no matter what we try.
Kiro: And whose fault is that? What exactly did you guys do to her?
Darien: Uh…
Penny: Just spit it out, she might be more use than you are at this point.
First thought: they forced her some home made ‘truth serum’ and she’s been poisoned.
Let this be a lesson to you young whippersnappers: don’t use hypodermic needles full of ghost juice made by teenagers on an island in the geographic center of the ass-end of nowhere.
Get hypodermic needles full of ghost juice from a place that has a QA department instead. 😉
Also, Kiro seems to be adjusting well – she already has 2/3 of the Council reacting to her entrance with guilt and fear, and (if I recall correctly) it’s been less than a week! Smart money is on her raising a popular uprising against Mom inside of 2 months. 😀
And now I guess we start to see who’s really in charge.
As far as this has gone, the adults in charge have a vested interest in ensuring NO ONE EVER LEAVES. If anyone returns to civilization and tells someone what’s going on here, the adults are going to find themselves bound for a Supermax prison somewhere unpleasant.
I’ve been wondering about that myself…
This is under the assumption that their world in general is a lot like our own. I’m not convinced it is.
The way things are going, I expect the willing serfs to be busy making rope for the council.
While the more sensible ones are probably busy with Fortnite.
