THE WARDEN AND NIGHTRIDER ARE HERE (D170)

[Sans is blue.]
[Lambert is dark red.]

[ Supervisor’s Channel ]

All right. [ Lambert’s voice is brisk and business-like, for once, though it still has that familiar edge of sarcasm to it. ]

Okay. [Sans is here, too.]

I’ll get to the point. You know the next stop’s not like our usual. [ To say the least. A beat, before he continues: ] Keep an eye on your people. Make sure they’re actually following the rules, not freaking out and getting us all into shit.

[ That feels like a tall order, though, under the circumstances. ]

That goes for you, too. Keep your head on straight. Any problems or troublemakers you can’t handle on your own, let me or Sans know. This isn’t a performance stop -- if anyone who works for you is assigned to patrol or the nightrunners, they answer to us first.

Speaking of ‘keeping your head on straight’... some of you might remember a certain stop we had a ways back where a few certain someones almost got the guillotine for failing to abide by a similar set up of stuffy royal standards. Let’s not have a repeat of that, cause from the sounds of it the RM might not be able to save you this time.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, this is your opportunity to remain blissfully ignorant.




[ Public Channel ]

[ Lambert’s voice is terse, and irritable: ]

Our next stop’s called Heartstone Manor. We’re going to go over some ground rules to make everyone's life, especially mine, a lot easier.

[Sans is also here.]

The RM has already covered a lot of this in her announcement, but it is officially our jobs to make sure that it sinks in. Dealt with True Fae before? Then you know this isn’t a joke. Yes, your fashion sense and table etiquette are now a matter of life and death. This is me, Sans, telling you to take this seriously. Hopefully that means something to you.

To summarize the gist of what was said, here are some basic RULES. The Nightrider and I will be watching. So, even if the Prince doesn’t catch you, we will.


[Sans recites “The Rules” like he’s just whipped out a pair of reading glasses and is quoting them from an official document:]

DO:

  • Follow the daily schedule
  • Follow dress code
  • Be polite to The Prince and his servants
  • Keep your radio on you


DON’T:

  • Whine about everything
  • Seed rebellion or talk about rules breaking on the network
  • Make any deals or promises to other fae servants
  • Lay any hard disses on The Prince, ever, under any circumstances
  • Don’t sweat the small stuff: this is gunna grate on a lot of us, so just focus on the end goal… which is not dying


Don’t mess it up.

That, too.

[There's a lot he could say right there, but instead, there's just muffled laughter before he manages to speak again.]

For the love of God and all his little angels, don't call me that in the castle, or I'll laugh durin' somethin' really important and die.
whattaprick: (eeeyyy lmao)

[personal profile] whattaprick 2017-09-29 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
No. Witchers only deal with lords and nobles when they've got a monster for us to kill, or when they make the mistake of thinking we're their personal assassins.
pipers_son: (sillica) (If I buy you $300 worth of Popeyes)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-09-29 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Not exactly. We just need ta make him not pay any attention ta us... Which will be a lot easier if we're just pretty scenery goin' along with what he wants ta see.
pipers_son: (bestia-domitor) (How do you say "get out of my)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-09-29 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Cookhouse, supper, me and Strange'll be givin' ya all a quick run down on how ta behave at mealtimes.

Outside of that, until I can talk ta anyone a bit more, just assume that not talkin' and not touchin' anythin' is for the best.
anti_nonsense: (I'm sure you'll get to the point someday)

[personal profile] anti_nonsense 2017-09-29 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Polite company? You including yourself in that?

[Cracked is probably a pretty strong word for gems, right? Steven isn't sure, but he looks a bit nervous to reply, like he's embarrassed.]

...Yeah. I... I don't think I should have done that.

[He swallows, and stares down past the edge of the trailer roof.]

It's just been... really hard. I don't really know how to talk about it. But when I realized that there were going to be people there... who might be like I was...

[He rubs at his shoulder, trailing off.]
whattaprick: (Default)

[personal profile] whattaprick 2017-09-30 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
I never include myself in that.

[ A beat, and then: ]

Do you want to bring anything with you? I've got plenty of Samum.

[ Probably the only non-damaging bomb he has, good for blinding and stunning and little else. ]
pipers_son: (bestia-domitor) (And I'd rather cry while putting a)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-09-30 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I don't doubt it. S'why I said 50/50.

But Childermass... It's still Strange.

[personal profile] diamondsare 2017-09-30 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
All of it, I am afraid. Having never eaten, even the basics most take for granted are likely unknown.

[The cookhouse? That might mean running into Rin and risking more sadness, but..]

I think I should have to attend this practice dinner then.

[ Since this is more Nightrunner stuff, he'll switch over. ]

Anything to do with surveillance or creating and dispelling illusions?

[ It's tragic that Taako doesn't have zone of truth, but you can't have everything. ]
prazerbutterfly: (zpost exo - uwah~ so hot)

[personal profile] prazerbutterfly 2017-09-30 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a sharp snort from his end at the mention of God and his little angels and it actually takes him a second to overcome the disgust in his voice and melt back into that charming tone.

His laughter is welcoming.
] Well, I wouldn't want you to die so I suppose I can refrain for now.

Yep, illusion is a definite can-do. I've also got clairvoyance and a few other handy dandy surveillance spells. But, uh... seriously though, what is this for?

England puts far too much emphasis on it than I think it should, to be quite honest, but I imagine I have more reason to say that than Mr. Strange would.

[ As someone waaaaay at the very bottom of it. ]

How much different is it to your own world?
atouts: (006; l'amoureux)

[personal profile] atouts 2017-09-30 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, but a Strange that's more in his element for once. The original one, at least.

[ Requiring less madness to function and all. ]

So I would give it him a little more than just a 50/50 chance.

Even her. That she takes contracts for such a limited time is a rule in its own right.

[personal profile] atouts 2017-09-30 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Do... [ What are they called again? ] Gems? [ He's pretty sure that's right. ] Do gems not eat?

[ For all he knows they exist, he can't say he ever asked much about them. ]
atouts: (039; five of pentacles)

[personal profile] atouts 2017-09-30 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure you would like it if I did.

[ Childermass has spent some time on and off just staying put in the shadows while figuring it out. He personally doesn't mind it, but he also knows he can leave at any time. That helps. ]
diamondsare: (Default)

[personal profile] diamondsare 2017-09-30 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Gems, yes. We do not; I'm not sure we're even capable of ..everything that goes into it. A reasonable amount of pretend will hopefully suffice..
atouts: (019; le jugement)

[personal profile] atouts 2017-09-30 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Interesting. Well. If you can manage it at the rehearsal dinner, you should be able to manage it for the Prince, though... Forgive me if this is a rude question, but would you be able to store what you pretend to eat anywhere out of sight?
diamondsare: (Is by your side)

[personal profile] diamondsare 2017-09-30 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
[The silence that brings might suggest it was rude! But when she speaks again she sounds thoughtful, not offended.]

I might be able to. It is not something I have attempted before. There are some hours left before we are required to leave for this other location, yes?
atouts: (006; l'amoureux)

[personal profile] atouts 2017-09-30 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ And that isn't even the rudest thing he could have asked! Though thankfully he won't ask anything beyond that for now. ]

A few, yes. We will have to leave soon after supper. Hmm... We may want to go over what utensils are while we're there. [ It's unavoidable, anyhow. ] As I assume if gems do not eat, then they also do not have silverware.

diamondsare: (Take me there my destination)

[personal profile] diamondsare 2017-09-30 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Time to practice then, and perhaps see what I can manage.

[She'll need that time, Blue did not generally bother with shapeshifting. And something so specific..]

Yes, that as well. You clearly already see the trouble we may run into. The other gems present... may have similar issues but have spent more time among humanity and may have absorbed some of its culture on the way.
kingsroads: (well why don't we do this?)

[personal profile] kingsroads 2017-09-30 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ Strange can't help but laugh, a bright cheerful sort of laugh. ]

I'll allow that!
pipers_son: (bestia-domitor) (How do you say "get out of my)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-09-30 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Ah.... Yeah. Quite.

Best we can do is just... deal with it, eh? And not get ourselves killed.
stillwinningthehardway: (🔪Nothing can tame me)

[personal profile] stillwinningthehardway 2017-09-30 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
How... professorial.

Let's dig out those mushi that made you mute and just sprinkle them around. That's one problem solved.
