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.

Of course there's more! I haven't even started on dinner etiquette.

[ sorry Allen...... ]
showmystar: (life is precious and God and the Bible)

How long is this supposed to take?
kingsroads: (totally got this situation down pat)

[personal profile] kingsroads 2017-09-27 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ paaaaaaaause ]

Why don't I just sum up some basic guidelines instead?
showmystar: maybe I need more silver paint. (I can hear I'm nothing but your mirror)

[you can just hear him leap up from the table his face was most definitely lying on in boredom]

Yes please!

[personal profile] kingsroads 2017-09-27 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't talk to people unless they talk to you first, stay quiet and calm as much as possible, don't draw attention to yourself, don't question anything about etiquette or the dress code, and if you're confused, copy what the Ringmaster, the Prince, Joker or I are doing.

[ it's PRETTY HYPOCRITICAL hearing all these rules come from Strange of all people. ]
showmystar: but why tho (why the fuck this arm tho)

[personal profile] showmystar 2017-09-27 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[that irony is not lost on him]

So act like a servant. [he's done that before! and failed miserably at it. he rolls his eyes] Except I suppose this time, I'm invited to the table . . .

What about the, ah, people who aren't so well-behaved?
kingsroads: (this won't end well)

[ good question ]

I suppose we have them try their hardest and hope for the best.
showmystar: I'm falling asleep (no mirror to show and tell)

[personal profile] showmystar 2017-09-27 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[there's a small bit of hesitation on his end, not wanting to show his hand, so-to-speak, but . . . ]

Suppose the only way to save them -- and everyone -- would be to physically restrain them. I could help with that.

[nevermind that Allen himself might just be one of those misbehaving someones. it'll be fine.]
kingsroads: (your sea beacons suck)

[personal profile] kingsroads 2017-09-28 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ well, well, well, this is new information. ]

I believe they're listening in on this conversation, but do be certain to mention that to Lambert or Sans. They're the ones who will be in charge if we have trouble.
showmystar: and all my hopes are counted (yeah yeah and I'm alright)

[personal profile] showmystar 2017-09-28 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Alright, I will.

[He doesn't personally know Sans, so he'll just default to the Nightrunner. He clears his throat, takes a deeeep breath, and then shouts over the radio--]

DID YOU HEAR THAT, LAMBERT? [SCREAMING FEEDBACK]

[Why is his radio trying to explode]

[personal profile] whattaprick 2017-09-28 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ CALM THE FUCK DOWN, ALLEN ]

I did, and so did everyone who's got their radio on them.
showmystar: just leave the rest to me (live life breathe air)

[personal profile] showmystar 2017-09-28 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
Oh good, thank you! [no remorse]
whattaprick: (did you even notice?)

[ Hardee har har. ]

You're talking about using your Innocence, right?
