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, then you'll be glad to hear I've picked up some new tricks in recent weeks.

Of course, if I have to use 'em, it'll probably mean we're doomed anyway.

Oh yeah? Guess you'll have to show me sometime.

Assuming it's fit for polite company.
anti_nonsense: (I'm sure you'll get to the point someday)

[personal profile] anti_nonsense 2017-09-29 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Polite company? You including yourself in that?
whattaprick: (Default)

[personal profile] whattaprick 2017-09-30 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
I never include myself in that.

[ A beat, and then: ]

Do you want to bring anything with you? I've got plenty of Samum.

[ Probably the only non-damaging bomb he has, good for blinding and stunning and little else. ]
anti_nonsense: (que?)

[personal profile] anti_nonsense 2017-09-30 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
My magic should be enough. But...

You're smuggling in bombs?
whattaprick: (standalone)

[personal profile] whattaprick 2017-09-30 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Always do. [ Shrug. ] I'll give 'em up if they make me, but if not ...
anti_nonsense: (step 1: logic and reasoning)

[personal profile] anti_nonsense 2017-09-30 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Can't blame you for trying, I guess. [Rita would definitely feel a lot more uncomfortable if she had to go in without the ability to blow things up if things go south. But, wait... if she's remembering his explanations right...]

Why flash bombs, though?
whattaprick: (manpain)

They can work on a big group, they make a lot of noise, and they're the simplest to dismantle if I need the components for something else.

If you hear one go off, you know there's trouble.
anti_nonsense: (Blah blah blah.)

[personal profile] anti_nonsense 2017-10-02 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Got it. I'll try to keep a low profile until something like that happens.

[What she really means is she'll "try" until something riles up her temper, or something else prompts her to act out of line. Rita's never been good at laying low.]

If you find yourself needing some firepower or magic expertise, come find me. [Because otherwise, Rita expects she's going to be painfully bored most of the time.]
