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.

[Carly's tone is a stern one, and one far colder than any time she's actually tried to give a lecture, at this point. Evidently he crossed some imaginary line that Carly assumed everyone could see.]

There are things that people need time, even just a few minutes, to think about before they can understand it!

And right now YOU NEED TO GIVE HIM THAT TIME! With everything everyone here has been through, he'll be able to figure it out WITHOUT someone adding insult to injury!

Or do you really think you're helping NOW, bringing up things like that! Bringing up the past, or what's waiting for us, alike!

....He'll understand what needs to be done once he's calmed down, just like all of us.

But right now, fighting with people doesn't help ANYONE!

And neither does saying the kinds of things that are supposed to START fights!
whattaprick: (meh)

[personal profile] whattaprick 2017-09-29 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
And I'm sure everyone telling me to shut up instead of letting him do that himself is helping, right?

But fine. I'll leave it.

[ Lambert sounds entirely remorseless. ]
fortuneglass: (;;A;;!!)

[personal profile] fortuneglass 2017-09-29 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
I can't stop everyone from talking to you, [She admits levelly.] But YOU could have stopped talking just as easy as we can now...so I really, really hope you mean it when you say you're going to leave it!

And in the meantime, you should think about what being in charge actually means, especially as one of the two who are supposed to be making sure we can keep ourselves under control once we're there!

Because you FAILED so far!

[She caught the remorseless-]
fortuneglass: (.3.)

....I thought this sent lmao....

[Well there's certainly no answer-evidently she was done when she left her last shout at Lambert himself.

She probably needs to go burn a hole in the lake or something.
]
whattaprick: (are you fucking kidding?)

how many times is lambert going to end up making a nightrider joke at your characters...

[personal profile] whattaprick 2017-09-29 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Guess that's why they don't call the job Nightnanny.

[ When in doubt, fall back on sarcasm. But really, this is his best effort at biting his tongue, and he doesn't have anything further to add himself after that. ]
insidescoop: (BWAUUUHHHHHHH)

hOLY CRAP THO LMFAO I ALMOST WISH I HADN'T MADE HER ICLY LEAVE ALREADY...

[personal profile] insidescoop 2017-09-29 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
[NO!!! SHE WOULD HAVE LOVED THAT JOKE!!!!

HOW DARE YOU MAKE HER MISS SUCH A GOLDEN GAG....

Other people have been through just as much as Steven has. [ and here comes like literally the only person who will defend Lambert. ]

Besides, it's quite hypocritical of you to say that fighting doesn't help anyone as you continue to fight with Lambert.
kingsroads: (what a creepyass house)

[personal profile] kingsroads 2017-09-29 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Sans is right. [ words that Strange never thought he'd ever say. ] Everyone just...calm down and have a drink. We're leaving in a few hours anyway.
fortuneglass: (;;A;;!!)

[personal profile] fortuneglass 2017-09-29 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
I just said everyone has been through plenty!

But that's the point! EVERYONE has been through plenty, and everyone isn't just going to take what happened, and be fine! If he needs to get angry about that, then this isn't the place!

[Also, she got him to say he'd lay off, so that's a Plus in her books. She certainly didn't have to have a full exchange at least.]

And I'm already done!

[Now excuse her, she needs to boil about 1/3 of their lake-]
kingsroads: (just let me publish my gd book)

[personal profile] kingsroads 2017-09-29 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
You still don't understand my point, [ Strange grumbles. Everyone has been through plenty--and at least in Strange's mind, that obviously includes Lambert. How is Lambert yelling at Lapis any different than Steven yelling at Strange?

But mom's Sans is here and Strange REALLY doesn't want to get into a fight, so he lays off.
]

But fine, I won't press. Hopefully everyone will have calmed down before the dinner—I'll see you then.

Missed this message.
