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.

...It matters that doing what they would strikes in a way it wouldn't to them, [She adds, half to herself.]
no subject
[She's too tired to sound sincere, even though she is. If it's guilt that makes the difference between humans and fae, then with all the feelings gnawing at her now... maybe she's not like them at all. She wants to believe that.]
no subject
...What I told you before... [She trails off, thinking it better not to say more on that.]
...As long as you don't become your 'jailer', you haven't lost yourself. ...That's what makes it important.
