[PUBLIC CHANNEL] RINGMASTER'S TENTH ADDRESS (LATE D60)

[lordofthering]

[The Ringmaster is here to give you some information.]

It seems useful for everyone to know that the Blue Rose is currently trying to escape its container. It's not succeeding... but it is certainly trying. I'm keeping an eye on it for now, but my current assumption is that our assailants are somehow responsible.

[periphrasing]

He has a lot of weird powers. It gets hard to keep track of them all sometimes.

[She falls quiet for a bit.]

So to make sure that I'm understanding correctly... You concerned the Rose Queen could use this ability of his to. To Possess the Rose directly?

[lordofthering]

Or something to that effect... To Possess it directly or simply to be able to give it commands from so far away. It sounds like she was its custodian before it was lost.

Steven lacks the strength to command it on his own, I'm more worried about the two of them working in tandem.

[periphrasing]

So we need to get Steven back before she figures out how to do that, essentially.

He has trouble resisting her. We talked about that a bit. I just hope he can hold out...

[lordofthering]

I'm sure he's doing what he can. Faeblood simply have the odds stacked against them, when facing their progenitors.

Unfortunately, in the meantime, I will have to do what I can to prevent him from crossing into the carnival. Whether he is under her control or not, we can't afford it.

[periphrasing]

But that's-- What if he manages to get away somehow and then can't get in to safety!?

[lordofthering]

[She's trying to keep her voice level.]

Peridot, I don't know what you expect me to do.

[periphrasing]

I don't know! Just... Not that?!

[She knows the Ringmaster has a point, and little choice in the matter but. It's a hard pill to swallow.]

[lordofthering]

I'll remove the ban as soon as rescue efforts are underway. For the moment, I can't risk allowing the Rose Queen into the carnival through him.

I didn't ban compromised people last time and Sans broke into my treasury as a result. He could have done much worse.
