[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.

To be perfectly honest with you, after what we went through to get the last artifact? I'm not especially keen on repeating the experience. Additionally, I am well aware that this is the general sentiment that many others have already expressed to you, but also, I'm a Supervisor, so my input is extra important and warrants sharing.

[Pause.]
Perhaps... I could provide you with some extra work on my end, in exchange for a small favor?
[And then immediately regretting saying that, she adds on in a rush: ] Th-that is, I'm more than happy to help in any way I can regardless! I just have... a small concern...

What is it?

[She breaks off with a disgruntled sigh. Letting herself get all emotional like that in front of her boss... Embarrassing!]
Strange has some kind of extra protection against her. Steven is protected against the Rose Queen. Is there any chance we could do something like that for Amethyst as well?
