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.

Wow... [snnfff.] Thanks, Lapis! You know you really are the best barnmate a peridot could ask for?

[She's literally getting choked up about this. It's probably very embarrassing to watch. Peridot has to clear her throat before continuing.]

We'll have to work out the details a bit... I'll run the idea by Mr. Strange too, since he's apparently the expert on what's acceptable as far as behavior goes, when it comes to not getting the whole carnival killed for crummy manners.

[It would be extremely embarrassing if Lapis wasn't used to it by now. Instead she just looks extremely awkward and a hand goes to the back of her own head.]

Sure. It's no problem.
periphrasing: (Please hold all questions)

[SHE KIND OF WANTS TO HUG YOU REAL BAD RIGHT NOW LAPIS BUT SHE'LL RESTRAIN HERSELF. Anyway, Lapis's transgression seems to have been completely forgotten at this point.]

They're having some kind of rehearsal dinner at the cookhouse soon. We should go together! Try and learn what we can. Plus, it'll probably be hilarious.

Well... It might not be so bad if you're there too.

[Look at Lapis Trying real hard.]

How exactly do you rehearse dinner though? Don't you just... eat the food? [Why do you need to practice eating... Even Portland Lapis was queen of easy mac and instant noodles.]
periphrasing: (Meh.)

[personal profile] periphrasing 2017-10-04 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Peridot just shrugs.] Beats me. I guess food is a big enough deal for humans that they have all kinds of rules and protocol about it? It sounds completely idiotic if you ask me, but. We do need to learn it...
