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.

That's what "table etiquette" is.

[He's fucked.]

It's fine as long as don't do something gross while we're eating, isn't it?

[Susan is definitely making a face right now, like he can't believe his brother, but of course no one except for said brother can even see it.]

No, you have to do all the right things! Like, use the right silverware, and put it in the right place when you're done with it, and not put your elbows on the table, and not eat with your hands or talk with your mouth full. [You know, terrible and boring things.]

[Don't make a face at him like that!]

Maybe I can just copy someone else.

Just, don't talk at meals, and do what I do. That's probably best... [He's better at picking up on all those unspoken social rules, so if Lauren can just do what he does... Hopefully that will be good enough.]

[He nods.]

It won't be rude if I don't talk?

[Honestly with Lauren, it could easily be ruder if he did talk; Susan is the one people get mad at most of the time, but his brother is the one who's really terrible at talking to people.]

It might actually be rude if you do talk? Like, if you're not talked to first... Although I guess you're not a kid any more.

What's that do to do with it?

[personal profile] wild_magic 2017-09-27 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wow, his brother really is hopeless, isn't he?]

Kids aren't supposed to really talk, most of the time. You're not a kid though, so... You probably still shouldn't talk much, but I don't know if you could if you wanted? [He's a little shaky on all the rules of being an adult, since unfortunately one of the problems with acting like you're fitting in is that kids are obviously treated differently.]

[personal profile] mylastchance 2017-09-27 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Too bad they couldn't just like trade ages for this. It'd be easier to get away with stuff if he was a "supposed to stay quiet" kid.]

I don't want to.

[personal profile] wild_magic 2017-09-27 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I know you don't... I'm just, not sure if it's okay to totally not talk to people, if you're an adult. But as long as you're not rude when people talk to you first... You're probably okay.

[He sighs, starting to feel even more nervous than he did before.]

Right...
wild_magic: (30)

[personal profile] wild_magic 2017-09-27 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[He fidgets a little as he thinks about all of the stupid stuff he's going to have to do, and how it would be so much easier if he could just refuse... He wishes he didn't have to go along with this.]

You'll be okay. I'll be there.
mylastchance: (021)

[personal profile] mylastchance 2017-09-27 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[He knows he's the one who should be reassuring Susan right now, but this area was a known weak spot for him.]

Just don't wander off too far...
wild_magic: (1)

[personal profile] wild_magic 2017-09-27 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
And leave you alone to deal with people? OF course I won't.

[personal profile] mylastchance 2017-09-27 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Stupid little brother. ;n; Time for noogies.]
