public channel - D148 - fae jargon 101

[kingsroads]

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. ]

You'll have to forgive Childermass. The man's too dour for his own good!

[ what's a little shittalking between friends. ]

Though he does at least manage to turn on the slightest bit of charm for his act.

[prazerbutterfly]

He seems alright. I wasn't sure if he was uncomfortable with my presences or not. I kind of invited myself into conversation.

[He laughs a little though. It was true. He doubts he smiled at all.]

I arrived a little late to the carnival when I bought my ticket or I'm sure I would've seen it already.

[kingsroads]

That simply means you'll have something to look forward to at the next show.

[prazerbutterfly]

You know, that kind of goes for you as well, good sir.

[kingsroads]

And here's where we differ: I don't mind showing off my skills when a show isn't in session! [ well, Childermass will happily show off some of his skills when the show isn't in session but shadow travel's a LITTLE BIT BORING for the entirety of a magic act. ]

Name your time and place, preferably outside, and I'll happily give you a demonstration of my magic.

[prazerbutterfly]

I could potentially be persuaded to 'show off', Mister Strange. [He himself is quite the show off as well. He rather delights in showing his abilities to his enemies in their time of death even if the Earl would rather he keep a low profile.]

I don't know the lay out nearly as well as I should but I believe I spotted a lake that is quite open. As for time, I have plenty of it. Now is good, or tomorrow afternoon. [He's quite dedicated to his comfort of sleep. He'll rise early without trouble if obligated but otherwise he'll sleep.]

[kingsroads]

Then tomorrow afternoon by the lake it is!

[ Because yeah, Strange likes sleep also, doing things in the early morning is for chumps. ]

I shall see you then, Mister Mikk?

[prazerbutterfly]

But of course, Mister Strange. I wouldn't miss it even for my freedom. Well...

[Sleep is a wonderful comfort and as the Noah of Pleasure he does enjoy the finer things in life. Sleep is one of them.]
