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.

Worse, I'd say. They're less predictable than a demon. [ Assuming all demons are evil and hellfire and collecting souls, you know. That kind. ] That's only an example of what could happen, to be fair, but faeries are known to be bound up in all sorts of rules.

Better the devil you know... Or at least think you know. And neither at all is betterer still. [That's close enough to a safe assumption to be a good bet.] Uhh, except our boss. I think?

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

Nyeh heh heh, I mean she's better than a demon! And better at eating them...
atouts: (032; knight of cups)

[personal profile] atouts 2017-10-01 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. [ Well, that's true enough, too. ] I suppose so. Less damnation for us, though one must wonder if she gets heartburn from the eating them part.

If her tent ever spontaneously burns down, we'll have an answer! [Except for all the other reasons it might burn.]

[ Yeah... About that, Papyrus... ]

Considering how many people here casually chuck fire about, I somehow doubt that's the best way of figuring it out.
spaghettimonster: (I HAVE ONLY GOOD FEELINGS ABOUT THIS.)

[personal profile] spaghettimonster 2017-10-05 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmmm... You may be onto something. Well. I guess there's nothing for it but... asking, sometime?

[He's probably not that curious.]
atouts: (004)

[personal profile] atouts 2017-10-06 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm, I guess that's one way you could go about it. Do share with the rest of us when you find out.

[ Isn't he, though? ]
spaghettimonster: (I'M FINE!)

[personal profile] spaghettimonster 2017-10-11 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! When I find out, I'll let you know!

[She already sounded mad, and he's not curious enough to ask now. Odds are he'll forget. Or, forget until much later.]
