limacharlie | 144.98750: PUBLIC CHANNEL, D90 (evening)

[ Hey, guess who has his voice back? Turns out traveling to Mainframe gives you plenty of voices to hear. But is he actually going to report back with anything useful? ]

"All of Man’s works, all his cities, all his empires, all his monuments will one day crumble to dust. Even the houses of my own dear readers must – though it be for just one day, one hour be ruined and become houses where the stones are mortared with moonlight, windowed with starlight and furnished with the dusty wind. It is said that in that day, in that hour, our houses become the possessions of the Raven King."

[ For once, his voice isn't carrying that edge of mocking, actually managing to sound solemn and thoughtful -- not that it lasts. There's the sound of a book being snapped shut, and Lambert resumes the rest of the radio post speaking in his normal tone of voice: just a touch insufferably smug. ]

Maybe Master Strange should consider becoming a poet, if he ever gets bored of being a magician.

[ And then, as an off-handed follow-up to that: ]

All scouts and nightrunners, report in. Let 'em know what they're in for.

What is it?

I'm proposing a demonstration! This sort of thing is tricky enough to explain over radio, they need to SEE what they're in for!

...Sort of. It'd be more like a presentation?

And who'd be giving that presentation?

I would!

[..............] ....maybe with help if someone offered... ...?

[ ... ]

Are you asking me or telling me?

I can't tell you to do anything, you're my boss~

Let's say, hypothetically, that you could find a volunteer. Which part were you planning to present, because I don't think the Carnival has a lot of giant cubes lying around.

[ Unless she was planning to drop a crate on someone, which he can't imagine ending well. ]

Actually, I can use my fire really easy for that!~ It's not a cube, but it has the right effect!

With skills like that, maybe you should consider putting in for being a performer, too.

HEHHH!? Performer?!

N-No way! It's one thing to be informative, but I'm really not meant for the spotlight...

Hmm. So let me guess: you direct, and the other person has to act it out?

Eh??

No I'll be acting!

I just don't really want to do that all the time, you know? I'd much rather be able to help keep things going from behind!

[ THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID okay no Lambert's going to resist the urge to make the obvious joke there ... ]

All right. Well, you'd probably have better chances of finding a volunteer if you offered an incentive. No one likes doing anything for free.

I already make everyone's clothes though...mmmn...

[Tricky, tricky. Carly crosses her arms, giving it some thought.] ...If they have a pokemon, do they want my leftover pokebeans?

Huh. I was thinking something a little more valuable, but that works. You've got yourself a volunteer.

[ It's not money, but then again, it's not like money will get him anything here. ]

AH!! Really?!

Oh! You probably know this, but you can plant these things...you'd be able to generate a lot of supply for 'Pig' that way..!

I didn't, actually. How long does it take to grow?

[ And can he put it somewhere the rest of the Carnival's Pokemon population can't get at it? Mysteries! ]

Mnnh, about as long as normal beans, really... ...If you plant enough, you'll get a lot back though!

That'll be handy. We're not likely to stop by Alola again anytime soon.

Definitely not, we don't normally revisit places...I think the Summerlands was a big exception.

The Summerlands?

Right!

It's a Faerie realm! The Ringmaster is good friends with someone there, and it's really peaceful...it was more of a vacation spot, so who knows, maybe we WILL go again..!

Is this going to be like the Ringmaster's last idea of a vacation?

[ Everyone have a collective traumatic flashback to the Celebration now. ]

Definitely not!!

I don't really think she sees it as a 'vacation' so much as...a break? Some place to go when you're sad or just need to see a friend?

Well, that and that Celebration Place wasn't really one that she could just go to whenever, I don't think... [Kind of an invite only sort of location, last she checked.]

I don't think it's somewhere we really want to go back, either.
