Day 61, Late Evening: Public Channel
This is Rita, here with Syrlya. We've got some things to report about a recent rescue mission, so listen up.
Starting with the [there's a pause and an awkward intonation when she says] good news... We got Strange back, but he's dead. [Said news is delivered perhaps a bit too flippantly.] He had a revival spell, which has been activated. He'll be back to annoying the hell out of all of us before long, I'm pretty sure.
We… also gathered some information from Ignatius. [He’s not going to say how.] It isn’t much, but apparently the Summer Court had actually been following the Winter Court’s trail of us into the Athenaeum. They have had a spy of theirs following the carnival for a few years now. We also know that the Summer Court has determined the Ringmaster as an enemy for the same reason as the Winter Court--the death of the Winter Queen.
[... That’s the good news! There’s no extra, unknown charges added to the Ringmaster’s criminal record! Just the known ones.]
After the questioning, the Ringmaster came and ate Ignatius. [Again, Rita’s tone sounds almost too casual. She’s too tired to worry about breaking any of this news gently right now.] He isn’t dead, though. He's... well, don't ask me. We'll have to wait until the Ringmaster feels like talking about it.
Lambert is… currently recovering, so until he is in a state to return to his duties I will be acting in his stead. If you have anything you wish to reach the Nightrider or Nightrunners for, you may speak to me.

I don't like it. But I'm not going to feel bad about it happening to someone who just did the same thing to my-- [she almost says friend] --one of our people.

I don't use mind-altering magic, so I don't know if another method would have worked better. Feel free to ask Syrlya about that.

[It's good to hear that, though. Even though he's not going to cover it because he doesn't really want to publicly admit to a fear, or say that he's going to avoid Syrlya when possible now.]
Everyone who already had powers going in had a, startlingly difficult time remembering to use the defenses...
