Nightrunner Channel [Day 170]

[whattaprick]

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?

As long as the magic doesn't mess with my sensors, generating a close-range map will be easy! Buuut none of you are androids, so I'll have to give it to you on paper. Problem with that is if I make any changes to the map, the rest of you don't see it.

Can your English magic do something about that?

[Yes he's going to be calling it English magic every time.]

Like, I dunno, make it so all the maps I distribute are connected? If someone makes changes to their map, everyone else should be able to see the new info.

[ considering Strange calls is English magic half the time, 9S isn't too far off. ]

I've never cast a spell like that before...I can try, though. It'd be best if all the paper came from the same notebook and we use the same pen on all of them.

[dressedtothe]

Same notebook's easy, but same pen? If we're all split up, won't that mean only one person can make changes?

[kingsroads]

I'd just need the same pen for drawing the maps, not changing them. My going theory is that if the maps are as similar as possible, it'll be easier for the spell to recognize that they're all the same map.

[dressedtothe]

Okay. Yeah. Wanna try that with a map of the carnival now?

[Because it isn't like Strange has anything to do other than write a primer on manners and teach people to dance and everything else he's been pulled into, right?]

[kingsroads]

Give me half an hour—I'm still working on your primer.

[ nobody's going to be surprised when as soon as they arrive at the castle, Strange just downs like an entire bottle of wine to deal with nerves from prep time + making certain nobody's screwed it up already. ]
