144.98750 - D138; So roughly thirty minutes or so after the Ringmaster's address...

[atouts]

If there are any supervisors still awake and standing, would you please make your way to the Big Top? The Ringmaster appears to have died.

[ —and turned into an egg, which is something he should really include, but he's tired. Sounds it, too, although what he isn't sounding on top of that is worried, since this is all said in a very matter-of-fact way. ]

[What. What.

Wh-] WH-WH-WH-

I THOUGHT SHE MEANT SHE WAS TAKING A REST!!! [SHE IS SUFFICE TO SAY-] I'M ON MY WAY BUT WHAT HAPPENED?!

[This is probably a good time for everyone else to wonder when on earth Carly became a supervisor if anything-]

[atouts]

[ Let's be real here, Childermass is just assuming Carly is going to crash because she's Carly, not because she's a supervisor now, and he's just too done with everything to try and stop her. ]

She turned to ash. [ He'll leave out 'exploded'. ] And left an egg behind.

[insidescoop]

[It's just a sign she cares Childermass, it's a sign that she caressssss-] An e-

That's not dead!!! ...though I guess that explains why she uses eggs to bring everyone else back if they set it up ahead of time...

[osteothropy]

[Sans is here, and he mostly sounds like he doesn't buy it. He can't really imagine her dying in any way that didn't involve her popping up a half hour later and yelling 'PSYCHE'.]

Haha what.

[atouts]

This isn't a joke, Sans.

[osteothropy]

Are you sure?

'Cause this sounds like we're probably just waiting on a punchline.

[kingsroads]

Oh good. You're alive.

[ Strange this is NOT THE THING THAT YOU SHOULD BE TAKING FROM THIS BROADCAST ]

[atouts]

[ In theory, everything that happened can't 100% be blamed on Strange, and yet— ]

Shut up, Strange. I don't have time for you.

[ Okay. Moving on. ]

[periphrasing]

[PERIDOT JUST WANTS TO SLEEP... WHY. Why this. She can't just ignore something that's THIS URGENT.

She picks up her radio with the prolonged, whiny, miserable sounding groan imaginable.]

Can someone pick me up from my trailer and bring me there? I feel like I'm about to shatter into a thousand different pieces.

[Or more accurately, she DOESN'T feel like that, which is somehow worse? AT LEAST BEING CRACKED WOULD BE A QUICK FIX. She hasn't even got the energy to properly react to the news that the Ringmaster is apparently dead.]

[osteothropy]

You can probably sit this one out, Peri. Pretty sure you've filled your work quota for the day.

[atouts]

I did say those still standing, Miss W— [ Not Wolfe, her last name isn't Wolfe. There's a pause, awkward, and then he corrects himself and carries on. ] Miss Peridot. Please don't push yourself.

[whattaprick]

[ Lambert's super fucking unconscious so this isn't his problem, haha suck iiit. ]

[atouts]

[ Yeah, well, he didn't want to talk to that loser anyway, so there. ]

[mirrortide]

You can't just say that and not expect other people to not want to see this.

[which is Lapis' way of saying guess what shes coming]

[atouts]

It's mostly just a pile of ashes.

[ Not his problem. Let the supervisors handle gawkers. ]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

I feel that is her plan.
I'll be there when I can.
I must first attend
To those I can mend.

[It feels so good to rhyme properly again...]

[atouts]

Ah, so there's the good doctor. I had wondered where you got to... Well, no matter. It isn't as though she's going anywhere, so as you will.

[pipers_son]

Aw, hell.

[Joker doesn't sound nearly as worried as he probably should be.]

I can get there..... at some point. Anybody there already?

[atouts]

[ Probably because it isn't really all that worrying. Just a little, a smidgen maybe. ]

Only a few others and I were present when it happened. I'm not familiar with them, though.

[ So, new people? New people. ]

[tacosgay]

... huh. So, uh... does that mean we're done here, or, like...?

[atouts]

Doubtful, but even if that were true, the carnival is stranded here without her.

[dorkypantsuit]

[Groan....]

Should I actually be concerned about this?

[atouts]

She burned up into a pile of ashes and left an egg behind. Is that concerning?

[spaghettimonster]

So that's what her announcement was about...

What do you think newly-hatched Ringleaders eat? We should leave 'welcome back' presents with her egg.

[atouts]

Hopefully not demon hearts.

[ Because he's not sure he's seen her eat anything else thus far. ]

Hmm. [ But presents? Really? ] Well. If you want to do leave her something, I'm sure no one will stop you.
