public channel - D148 - fae jargon 101
If anyone, older member or newer arrival, wants information on... [ oh lord, this is going to take a while. Strange sighs slightly before obviously reading off a list of terms he's written down. ] Arcadia, the Rose Queen, Ignatius, Nightshade, the Count of Crows, Frost, the Summer Court, the Winter Court, how faerie court hierarchies work, the Wyld Fae, or the Beast, then I'll be happy to tell you what I know. I picked up some knowledge from my time in Portland and through conversations with the fae here and, for obvious reasons, don't want to bore all of you with far too many details and speculations at once.
[ There's a pause, partly to catch his friggen breath, before Strange continues talking. ]
I can at least explain Portland, though--for our new arrivals, of course. It's a city where the carnival was recently trapped for a month. Many members had their memories altered and believed they lived in the city for their entire lives. It was a...trying experience.
[ Understatement of the century. Strange sighs, like he's steeling himself for what he's going to say next. ]
Portland had it's own set of fae, some of whom I mentioned in my previous list. Plenty of the carnival members have ill-will towards those fae, who seemed determined to vex us and ruin our lives during that month. And despite the fact that we've left that world, I've a feeling that we'll see those fae again. Now that the Severing's removed, they can travel to different worlds the same way the Ringmaster can. And it wouldn't surprise me if some tried to reclaim what or who they believe they lost.
[ how dramatic! And quite possibly the worst way to end a broadcast as Strange just flips the radio off then and there. He has absolutely no clue how to best END the broadcast so not being cryptic is officially for chumps. ]

I'll admit, I don't know as much about demons and angels as I do the fae. Did you encounter any of them during Portland?
no subject
[And he was a big whiny brat to them because his other self had a huge grudge against them, but he won't tell Strange about that.]
But the demons tried to eat me. Some talked about dragging me to hell. Some were trying to hurt Doe-chan too. One in particular. I guess she was his warlock?
no subject
How odd. I wonder if they could tell the two of you were from the carnival or if it was simply a coincidence.
no subject
[Maybe Knotley realized Doll was as special, but they'll never know now.]
The Portland me wasn't anyone special. I was usually just someone in their way to something else.

[Gosh, Strange, you're really buttering him up now. Tamaki sounds really pleased to be called brave, even if he doesn't think he did very much at the time. He knew he couldn't die then, after all.]
The Portland me didn't like angels. But, I couldn't just let you hurt that one. Even if I couldn't do anything about the brainwashing.
no subject
I don't think anybody could do anything about the brainwashing--except the Ringmaster, of course.
no subject
[That's... not really a comforting thought.]
Zeco-san was able to remove the bug, during the Matrix. I guess she can't undo fairy brainwashing, though.
no subject
[ and she had that direct access because Strange was a dingus. ]
no subject
Fairies are really powerful, huh?

no subject
[He doesn't think the Ringmaster is heartless, but he's not sure she's that much better. But he's not going to say that where she can clearly hear.]
no subject
Anyway, this is all quite depressing. If you've anything to ask about the fae, go ahead and ask.
[ otherwise, at least shown by Strange's tone of voice, they can change the conversation to something else. ]
no subject
[Strange sounds kind of over this, and anyway, Tamaki's not sure he could come up with good questions to ask.]
