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.

[ And that isn't even the rudest thing he could have asked! Though thankfully he won't ask anything beyond that for now. ]

A few, yes. We will have to leave soon after supper. Hmm... We may want to go over what utensils are while we're there. [ It's unavoidable, anyhow. ] As I assume if gems do not eat, then they also do not have silverware.

Time to practice then, and perhaps see what I can manage.

[She'll need that time, Blue did not generally bother with shapeshifting. And something so specific..]

Yes, that as well. You clearly already see the trouble we may run into. The other gems present... may have similar issues but have spent more time among humanity and may have absorbed some of its culture on the way.

One can hope.

[ Yeah, he doesn't sound at all hopeful. After all, the one he knows the most is Peridot (and even that isn't very well). ]

The silverware, at least, will only be a matter of memorization. They do have several similar pieces to be used for different dishes, but it's mostly a just needing to remember their placement and what size they are. If they don't go over that at the dinner, I'll walk you through them myself.

You are most kind. I will be sure to ask after the silverware during the demonstration specifically, hopefully someone will know.

[She sounds relieved; the idea of having a fallback is probably extra helpful.]

[ It's tempting to say he's only doing his job, but that has yet to convince anyone that he's unkind. So, instead, there's a short pause, as it's not something he'll ever be used to people saying, then goes on— ]

They would be remiss not to. It's, unfortunately, more important than it has any reason to be. Although, the silver lining is you won't have to worry about drinking too much if you don't actually retain what you eat. [ No drunken gems is probably a good thing. ] Anyway... I admit, I only recognize your voice, miss, but I do not think we've ever been introduced.

[ Tall Blue Lady isn't a name, alas. ]

Troubling our .. 'host' with ignorance and crudity may cost the Ringmaster what she seeks, after all. Unfortunate that it requires meals.

[She could do everything else!

Except get drunk.]


My apologies. You may call me 'Blue'. It is ... reasonably descriptive, if we ever do cross paths.
