[NIGHTRUNNER CHANNEL] D14

[chronosynthesis]

Nightrunners? This is Syrlya. [He clears his throat, quickly working out that faint nervousness in his tone so he can talk strongly and clearly over the radio.]

I understand the assault CY-Ren went poorly. Lambert is currently incapacitated, but alive, and has requested that I take over while he assesses the damage. However, at least Lavellan and Childermass are missing--if not more. I need all of you to report in now so I know who is still present.

First, was there anyone else at the concert itself? I want to know in more detail what happened, what CY-Ren is capable of, and where it went wrong.

Second--[A pause.] There was a Summer Fae by the name of Nightshade spotted at the concert, although she reportedly stayed away from the stage. You already heard the warning when we first arrived, so you know how troubling it is that they're present when we've obtained the Blue Rose. She works for the Rose Queen, but we do not want any of them to get a hold of it. Everyone should keep their eyes open, but those that are particularly sensitive or knowledgeable in signs of Fae need to keep a close eye on the carnival's borders.

[The last thing they need is Fae sneaking in when their attention is on their missing carnival members outside. He just hopes most of them are here.]

Of course, I'll simply try to recall every member in the carnival off the top of my head, [ Strange snaps. yeah, that trying to control his emotions only lasted a good hot five seconds. ] Get me a list and I'll go through it.

[ At Syrlya's other question, however, Strange makes a little noise of disapproval. ] It doesn't. Keep in mind that most of my magic was developed when England only had a handful of magicians to begin with.

[There's a pause.] There isn't already a list? With the Ringmaster, maybe?

[He at least keeps his own frustration carefully out of his tone, instead speaking evenly.]

Then I would like you to look for CY-Ren and Nightshade as well, if possible.

[kingsroads]

If I knew about a list, would I be asking you in the first place?

[ grump grump grump, bitch moan bitch. ]

Of course I'm going to try to look for Nightshade. [ and CY-Ren too, buddy.... ] Though if she's retreated to her own realm, it won't be much use.

[chronosynthesis]

We won't know until we try. [And it's very easy for Strange to report to Syrlya when they share the same trailer.

Maybe later he can ask what has Strange in such a sour mood, but right now he has other priorities.] I'll get your list. Let me know what you find.

[kingsroads]

I'll keep you and Lambert informed.
