Nightrunner Channel [Day 170]

All right, nightrunners. I’ll keep this short. I want a map of this place and I want to know what might piss the Prince off that they aren’t warning us about. The fae have rules, doesn’t mean they’re not out to trick us into breaking them.

[ It’s not like that’s how the Ringmaster gets a fair amount of her labor or anything. Last thing they need is someone turning into a vase. ]

You see anyone starting shit, figure out how to shut it down without getting attention. The Prince is going to have people working for him too -- don’t get too cozy, they’re not here to do us any favors. Learn anything worth knowing, tell the rest of us.

Any questions?

[There's a half-silenced sound of frustration.] I know, we are disadvantaged and he is not meant to be our enemy.

[Realistically there's little they probably can do, at least right now, and that doesn't sit well with Syrlya. He always likes to believe there's a way--but he's also agreed to chain himself down to the carnival and he can't act on his own accord.]

I will be following your orders. I only wished to ask about it.

[ That's more than he expected, which is sad, but ... ]

It's fine. It's not like I'm happy about it, either. If the Prince is trying to imitate human nobles, I already know I'm going to want to punch him in the face. [ He exhales sharply. ]

If there are people in there against their will, the plan stays the same. We find out everything we can, we don't give the Prince a reason to look at us or his servants twice. You wanna save anyone, you're not going to get far unless you can open doors to other worlds.

Or know someone who can. [They both know someone who can. It's just all a question of willingness, but... he's not holding out high hope.]

All right. Until then I will see what I can do about illusions that will keep any of our discussions private.
