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.
periphrasing: (Unbelievable.)

[Peridot turns to Lapis. Scowls so hard it looks like she's going to pop something. And then uses her metal powers to yank the radio right out of her hands.]

[There's some muffled noise and lapis yelling HEY!, but honestly, she's not going to dive to get her radio. She's just going to make a face at peridot]
periphrasing: (periglare)

[personal profile] periphrasing 2017-09-28 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[She doesn't break eye contact with Lapis as she lifts the radio and speaks into it:]

If anyone is still listening: I'm exercising my authority as a supervisor and suspending liesuli's radio privileges until she stops being a CLOD!

[There's the delightful sound of lapis putting her hand to her mouth and making a loud and obnoxious PBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBT sound.]
periphrasing: (Oh that's classy.)

[personal profile] periphrasing 2017-09-28 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[On a scale of 1-10? Like a 7.]

GREAT. THANKS.

[And she signs off.]
periphrasing: (periDONT FCKKING TEST ME)

[IN PERSON]

[personal profile] periphrasing 2017-09-28 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not FUNNY! [Peridot snaps at her, one radio clenched in each hand.]

[IN PERSON]

[personal profile] mirrortide 2017-09-28 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
What's not funny? [Lapis actually has no idea why Peridot is upset??? But she's also not exactly the most sensitive Gem in the multiverse.]
periphrasing: ((INCOHERENT FURY))

[personal profile] periphrasing 2017-09-29 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
You! Pretending you're like-- Like-- [She splutters and then gestures violently at... All of herself.]
mirrortide: (076)

[personal profile] mirrortide 2017-09-29 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
... Like you? [You can see the clear confusion on Lapis' face for an entire ten seconds before she finally realizes.]

Oh.
periphrasing: ((hugs boot))

[personal profile] periphrasing 2017-09-29 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[She folds her arms and snorts aggressively, glancing away.] It's not funny.

[Repeating herself is all she can think to do.]
mirrortide: (084)

[personal profile] mirrortide 2017-09-29 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Lapis frowns, but it's more at herself then at Peridot.]

Sorry.
periphrasing: (handwringing)

[personal profile] periphrasing 2017-09-29 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Peridot makes a 'tch' noise, but un-tenses her shoulders a bit.]

It's fine. [It's not fine. But she doesn't really see the point of continuing to give Lapis grief about this, and she has already made a way bigger deal about this than she's comfortable with.] It's just... You don't know how hard it can get sometimes. So just... Don't.
mirrortide: (029)

[personal profile] mirrortide 2017-09-29 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[She really doesn't get how hard it is for Peridot, because it's just not something she can really understand. Homeworld had all the resources when she was made, whereas they didn't for Peridot.]

I didn't think it was such a big deal since it's not like we normally shapeshift or eat to begin with.
periphrasing: (Judging you.)

[personal profile] periphrasing 2017-10-02 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well the fact that I can't do either of those things crosses my mind pretty "normally" despite that. Frequency doesn't really factor in.
mirrortide: (028)

[personal profile] mirrortide 2017-10-02 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry.

[Have another apology for your trouble, Peridot. Lapis isn't really sure what she should do now? Should she leave and give Peridot some space?]
periphrasing: (What are hands.)

[personal profile] periphrasing 2017-10-02 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Peridot stares at her for a moment longer, and then starts to pace anxiously.]

Hnnnnnnnnngh... I'm going to wind up ruining everything for EVERYONE just because I can't eat this stupid fae's STUPID food! That's it, I'm just... Just a disaster waiting to happen!
mirrortide: (084)

[personal profile] mirrortide 2017-10-03 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Don't do it Lapis you'll regret it--]

What if... I ate your food for you?

[She's going to regret it she knows it.]
periphrasing: (Did I do that???)

[personal profile] periphrasing 2017-10-03 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[She stops dead and stares, wheels turning in her head.]

What? [She frowns thoughtfully. IT'S AN INTERESTING OFFER, but.] How would that even work?
mirrortide: (084)

[personal profile] mirrortide 2017-10-04 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Just sneak it onto my plate when they're not looking? [It's ingenious, clearly. She's totally thought this through.]
periphrasing: (Lemme think about that.)

[personal profile] periphrasing 2017-10-04 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
That's... [Wait for it.] That's just so crazy, it might actually work!

[She looks altogether relived and incredibly enthusiastic about this idea!! What a turn around!!]

And you would do that for me? Eat my share on top of your own?

[LAPIS SHE'S SO TOUCHED...]
mirrortide: (076)

[personal profile] mirrortide 2017-10-04 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
[WAIT WHO SAID SHE HAD TO EAT HER OWN TOO!!! SHE WAS JUST OFFERING TO EAT PERIDOTS! THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!]

Yeeeeees?
periphrasing: ((gay excited giggling))

[personal profile] periphrasing 2017-10-04 01:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow... [snnfff.] Thanks, Lapis! You know you really are the best barnmate a peridot could ask for?

[She's literally getting choked up about this. It's probably very embarrassing to watch. Peridot has to clear her throat before continuing.]

We'll have to work out the details a bit... I'll run the idea by Mr. Strange too, since he's apparently the expert on what's acceptable as far as behavior goes, when it comes to not getting the whole carnival killed for crummy manners.
mirrortide: (076)

[personal profile] mirrortide 2017-10-04 01:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[It would be extremely embarrassing if Lapis wasn't used to it by now. Instead she just looks extremely awkward and a hand goes to the back of her own head.]

Sure. It's no problem.
periphrasing: (Please hold all questions)

[personal profile] periphrasing 2017-10-04 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[SHE KIND OF WANTS TO HUG YOU REAL BAD RIGHT NOW LAPIS BUT SHE'LL RESTRAIN HERSELF. Anyway, Lapis's transgression seems to have been completely forgotten at this point.]

They're having some kind of rehearsal dinner at the cookhouse soon. We should go together! Try and learn what we can. Plus, it'll probably be hilarious.
