[There are some sounds of thrashing, and choking sounds that are somewhere between COMPLETELY AGONIZED and ANGRY AS HELL. It's a short while before Shinzon speaks, and when he does, it's raspy and pretty damn pain filled.]

Not yet, I said not yet ( Read more... )

This has been a study in uselessness. Self-evaluation forms? What amounts to a time out?

I am finished. Send me home. This is a waste. My people need me.

[He's in Zero and bored and hates everyone.]

I can't believe none of you are intelligent enough to realize it was not a bomb.

In case any of you are specially slow learners, let me be quite clear: it was not a bomb.

[For the most part, Shinzon was inordinately pleased with his work. The people he'd wanted dead were largely dead. Well - they had been. A pity he had to deal with their return.

[For all those poor schmucks in the infirmary, Shinzon is puling off whatever bandages he has around his neck, intent on getting the hell out of there.]

Where is he?

[Private to Kahlan]

Are you in your room?

[Private to Judas]

[This is clearly so late because Shinzon's been moping brooding. In a manly fashion. Yes.]

What did you try to do?

[Filtered away from Kahlan]

Does anyone know how to mend-- [A pause, because he needs to figure out what the hell to call it.] --a stuffed bear?

[Dryly, with some vague confusion:] Why is there coal in my room?

[Private to Judas]

Thank you for the wine. It smells excellent.
