[144.98750] RINGMASTER'S FOURTH ADDRESS (D58)

[lordofthering]

[Bright and early on Day 58, the morning after the final carnival performances, your radios will light up with a very enthusiastic broadcast from the Ringmaster. Someone's having a good day, apparently.]

Hello, all you beautiful people of mine! Guess what? I'm back to normal! As powerful and gracious as I ever was - and I want to express my appreciation for all the kind words and offers of help you have given during my time of 'weakness.' Your loyalty and support is most flattering!

Even better, with your help I have won my bet! [And she is positively thrilled.] Please know that your combined efforts and my natural cunning have awarded us something very valuable for absolutely zero charge, and it will be of great benefit to our carnival in coming weeks.

I won't bore you with the details, but the carnival is back in action, and we will be leaving Atlantis in three hours! Please finish up any last minute business you may have, and we will be on our way!


[Well! That explains almost nothing.]

[Normally she would deflect this kind of question, but she's just so gosh darn excited...]

A gateway... to another world!

[amusicaladventure]

DUN DUN DUN!

[get off the radio Ash]

Not Here But...

[dorkypantsuit]

[He's cackling.]

[lordofthering]

[She appreciates this.]

You wouldn't want to go there, but I can't see why you'd have to!

[amusicaladventure]

Huh? Who wouldn't want to go where now?

[whattaprick]

[ So much. Excitement. ]

I thought the whole point of this thing is that you move it from world to world. What's so special about this one?

[lordofthering]

It's special because it's a place the owner doesn't want me find!

[whattaprick]

Safe to say they'd be pissed if we bust in there?

[lordofthering]

That's the hope! Not that I have any intention of bringing the whole carnival there. I'll be quite fine on my own.

[whattaprick]

What, after all that work? That's just keeping the fun part to yourself.

[ Should he be speaking like that to a superior? Probably not but whatever! ]

Too bad. You know where to find me if you change your mind about an escort.

[ What? Even if hitting on the probably-actually-a-horrific monster is a terrible idea, she looks hot right now. ]

[lordofthering]

[Unfortunately, she likes it. She takes him up on that teasing easily.]

Most of the time my employees have little interest in being caught up with quests of this nature. If you really do think that you're missing out, I'm sure I can make an exception for you...

[whattaprick]

Hey, a guy's got to earn his keep, right?

[ Also she like literally owns him right now, so y'know. While the illusion of freedom might be a comfort for some, he's used to more purpose. ]

Count me in. It'd give me a chance to show you what I can really do.

[lordofthering]

How wonderful.

[This man is exciting. She's going to write about this in her diary.]

Consider it a date!

[whattaprick]

[ Score one for Lambert. Geralt and Eskel would be proud (okay, mortified) if they knew! It definitely beats diving out of windows. ]

Any time, beautiful.
