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:
DON’T:
Don’t mess it up.
That, too.

- Follow the daily schedule
- Follow dress code
- Be polite to The Prince and his servants
- Keep your radio on you
- 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.

Um... Steven. Are you... Alright?
no subject
Yeah... Sorry...
Can I come to your trailer?
no subject
no subject
Thanks.
[He gets there less than a minute later - he was already at Joker's and the trailers are all sort of in a pile, so it's basically like walking next door in an apartment building. He knocks on the door, calling in from the outside.]
Peridot? I'm here.
no subject
[She's peering down at him over the edge of the roof.]
Need a lift? Somewhere around here there's a trash can lid I like to use...
no subject
[He smiles and then spreads out his wings.]
That's okay, I've got it.
[He jumps up onto the trailer effortlessly because... Steven. You know how it is. Once he's there, he settles down next to her.]
no subject
no subject
Yeah... Are you okay? I heard you and Lapis arguing...
[He sort of already knows why, based on what they were saying.]
no subject
[Peridot cocks her head at him.] What about you? It uhhh... Sounded like things got a little cracked there, for a bit.
no subject
...Yeah. I... I don't think I should have done that.
[He swallows, and stares down past the edge of the trailer roof.]
It's just been... really hard. I don't really know how to talk about it. But when I realized that there were going to be people there... who might be like I was...
[He rubs at his shoulder, trailing off.]
no subject
[She sighs.]
They're kind of right, though. We can't really know how bad it's going to be until we get there.
no subject
[And he sounds totally deflated as he says it, as much as the admission is sincere. He knows they can't. He knows there's probably nothing they can do. But, it doesn't make it hurt less, or easier to think about without his thoughts going dark places.]
I just freaked out.
no subject
[She doesn't sound critical, but you can always count on Peridot to be frank.]
But, to your benefit: Anyone who knows your situation should have decent context for why. And anyone who doesn't know your situation yet obviously isn't important enough for their perception of you to matter!
