Day 54

[periphrasing]

[Usually when Peridot speaks up on the network, she's pretty perky and authoritative. NOT THIS TIME. HAHA.]

Ssssso... I don't want to cause a panic or anything, but there's not exactly an easy way for me to break this news to everyone, so I'm just going to come right out and say it:

I may have kind of, sort of... absolutely found proof in the Scribe's collections that the Summer Court is tracking us. And by the Summer Court, I mean specifically the Rose Queen and Ignatius and all their cronies from Portland are tracking us. And they know we have the Blue Rose.

....

Sorry.

...This is Peridot, by the way.

[Yuya hadn't even considered that, assuming they were playing it safe after Wismuth.] Is the Curator protecting us?

[At least by proxy of protecting his books?]

[osteothropy]

That was the idea. No way to know how the Curator's protection compares to the carnival, though. Or how good the Summer Court is at infiltrating...

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya would like to believe it's enough, but... taking the wrong chance could cost a lot of people. He's worried, about Strange and Steven and everyone else.]

I know a spell for keeping Fae out of places. It's stronger with more people, especially if they're betterat magic... but we can use it on the trailers. It has to be good for something, right?

[Honestly, he's never tested it against Fae directly. But they don't actually lose anything by trying, as far as he sees it.]

[osteothropy]

What's the spell focus? The trailers, or a spell circle? Or none of the above?

[hippocarnival]

Uh, either? [At least, since he got the staff anyway.] But it's better if there's walls to put it on, because they last longer. That's what we did for the Sanctuary and Mr. Strange's trailer.

[osteothropy]

Cool.

Well, no matter how it works, it can't hurt. Let me know when you set things up and I'll see what I can do.

[hippocarnival]

I will! [He sounds suddenly much perkier. It's a scary situation, but they're not helpless and they'll help each other.] Thanks!
