Day 64, Public Channel

[whattaprick]

[ After the Ringmaster's finished kicking everyone out and the tent arrangements are more or less settled... ]

So, I'm up. [ Short and to the point. ] Heard people were yelling at my nightrunners. You wanna yell about it some more, you can come yell at me.

[ That's it, that's the post. ]

[Reira's mouth is opening, and closing, a few times on the other end. She sounds almost accusatory when she does speak.] Th...Why wouldn't there be a way out..! And what about...

...What about into fights? Or... ...Doing things without learning them, or thinking them, or...or... [...It occurs to her that she doesn't actually know how mind control was used, here.]

...what did you make him do then, when you made him listen?

[whattaprick]

[ To be fair, the sort of mind control that Lambert uses normally is a bit different than what was used here. ]

You mean Ignatius?

[ Rita and Syr had left that out of their explanation, huh? Well, it's not like Lambert was going to keep it a big secret or anything. ]

We made him talk about the Summer Court. How they were following us, why the Summer Queen's pissed ... he didn't know anything that would keep them off our backs. He knew the Summer Maiden before, but he said he didn't believe her when she told him why she was leaving the Court.

....I didn't know his name, but it sounds like that's what it is, [she answers, sounding rather oddly distant.]

...The Ringmaster didn't seem happy though.

...if you could make him fight, would you do it? [She asks after another quiet pause.]

[whattaprick]

He made Strange fight us.

[ His tone is flat. ]

If I could, if the Summer Court came for him? Yeah, I'd make him fight them too.

...exactly like mom then, [Is all she says, before leaving the radio at the side. She's apparently done here.]
