it made me somber

[This is a much deeper voice than is normally heard on the Thereth Show. It seems everyone's favorite mama is now everyone's favorite daddy. She doesn't sound very upset about it, though.]

This has been a very interesting experience. Much better than when I was turned into a goblin for a short time. But I think that I prefer my natural form the most. [Gotta love dem boobs.]

How is everyone else doing? I hope you aren't having trouble.

[It's very late at night - you may have gone to sleep already. If not, or if you're a light sleeper, there's a Thereth on the network to talk to. She sounds somewhat....different than usual. A little more...whimsical.]

Did you know.

[As though this is an amazing discovery: ]

That murlocs are fish people.

Is it on? - Ah. Hello, everyone!

[The camera moves shakily until you can see (part of) Thereth's (big) face. She waves at the communicator, causing it to wobble a bit. Then she shifts the view over to zombiechan, who is no longer wearing the crown but playing with a shiny red stone. Whether North (or anyone else) killed it, it's back again, and it looks about the same; derpy and disgusting but kind of cute. Nearby is Thereth's armor, ready to be cleaned.]

It has come to my attention that this little one stole my things and made a few friends the other day. I know that he can be frightening. But you have my word that he will not hurt anyone...unless provoked, of course.

Think of him as a really ugly dog. That can carry things for you!

Greeh!

[Happy moocow ends the transmission.]

When I was small, my greatmother would tell me stories late at night. As I grew, I learned them from her, and told them in turn to my sister.

[she pauses, thinking through theses times. simpler, happier days.]

None were quite so morbid and bloody as what I - what we - saw in our dreams this time.

The tower brings these things; is there a way to stop the tower from coming closer?

[another pause. in the background the ghoul whines a little.]

Ah - yes - I apologize for my....pet zombie.

[fffff.]

Do not be frightened of him if he approaches you. He means no harm.

[a little wry.]

Although, if you do see him carrying my little speaking device...see if you could discourage him from it. He seems to like it.

[and as she goes to turn off the communicator, under her breath;]

commala....commala...
