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.

Well, since you're such an expert, maybe they should be taking lessons from you.

As much as I'd love to take you up on that, I've got something better to do.

[She's getting Anakin-feelings and not liking it.]

Maybe they should. I'm telling you, don't crawl up our nostrils and get us all killed because you just have to lash out.

[From Scout, that's profanity.]
whattaprick: (like so whatever)

Then do it.

[ Lambert sounds less audibly caustic, but his voice is strained with the effort of not snarling again. Not easy, with a mouth full of sharp teeth. ]

I don't want anyone getting killed either.

[ But it's one thing to know that and another to try to forcibly change decades of bad behavior into being the leader he absolutely was never trained to be. Nobody's every expected anything from Lambert before except to duck his head and keep trudging, but the survival at all costs instinct that's served him so well alone doesn't play well with others. ]

[She hears the effort, it's good he's making it, but Scout is nooot happy about this.

It's a good reminder, she tells herself. She can't trust anyone, in any circumstances. Anyone can snap and she won't have any idea until there are tiny bodies in the garden and so much screaming-

Suppression. Neutrality. It's a bad idea in the long run but this isn't the place or time for anything else.]


Yeah. I know.

Let's just get this done.
