[PUBLIC CHANNEL] RINGMASTER'S EIGHTH ADDRESS (D30)

[Around the start of the new performance week, the Ringmaster will light up everyone's radios with an important message. Or, rather, some important musing.]

Hello, this is the Ringmaster speaking. I say that for the benefit of any new arrivals - everyone else surely recognizes my voice, by now. The rest of this may leave you in the dust as it will be touching on some carnival history, but you can may questions if you want to get up to date.

So, I spent a lot of time thinking when the lot of you were busy with that Pillar drama. As most are aware, a couple months ago we went on a mission to retrieve an extremely powerful artifact called the Blue Rose, which we have been using to defend the carnival from faerie threats. Which, seems successful so far, given that Nightshade didn't dare enter the grounds the entire time we were there! A victory, indeed.

It got me thinking, though... the Blue Rose actually comes as a set. As I've explained to a few of you, the Blue Rose is an organism created by the first Queens of Arcadia. Only three artifacts of its kind exist, as far as I know, and I fairly sure that none of them are actually in faerie hands.

So, I thought... what if we were somehow able to get the other two? Not only would that be enough to ward off the Courts completely, it would go a long way to defending us against any of the other nonsense we come across! Perhaps we could even go back to business as usual, for a while...

Anyway, in an attempt to be more forthcoming, I am presenting this idea to you for general 'work shopping' purposes. I know that the Blue Rose was a big hassle to get, but we know so much more now than we did then! I think it's worth a second look.

Hrmnnnn....

[Why isn't Sans awake for this. Why. Why isn't he awake. This is going to destroy his head-] Indeed, as many have noted, it is a risk... ...however, as was also noted, these artifacts are not something to be trusted in the wrong hands...

[Marishi is joining in. Having her around helps with the headaches.]

You noted that they are practically legend among the Fae themselves-but given our possession of one, and how that possession came to be, it feels only a matter of time before others realize that those artifacts must also exist.... [Something Strange noted, actually.]

...In other words, if we ignore the matter ourselves... ...it feels as though we would be allowing another to obtain it instead.

Someone far worse than you, to say the least..~! ...and we'd rather that not happen, frankly.

[There is...a pause. And given how close he is to the end of his contract, his words have more weight to them than they usually might, when it comes to his dedication.] ....Which is to say...

...I, the man Gongenzaka, despite this risk... ...Feel I shall want to aid in this quest.

[NO DON'T MAKE HIM SECOND GUESS HIMSELF RINGMASTER-] A-Auh...well, I, the man Gongenzaka, am perhaps...intending to stay a while more...

You'll be hearing from us when the time comes, naturally~ But let's sort this out first.

[Yes, yes. Ahrm.] I, the man Gongenzaka, suppose the question of finding them is the greatest matter at hand from this however...

[Tricky indeed. At least they have guesses at who COULD have them?]
