Day 68: [NIGHTRUNNER CHANNEL]

[whattaprick]

If you haven’t been approached already, I’m letting you know now: we’ve got a couple of people asking about being let on the nightrunners. I told them they’d need to convince you, not me. You know what we do, you know the risks, and you know what I ask for — if they come to you, let me know how they do.

Also, I’ve banned Strange from going out on preliminary scouting or any mission with a more than average chance of running into the fae. Unless I or the Ringmaster specifically say otherwise, that stays. He can whine about it as much as he wants, but if you see him violating that order, I want you to tell me that too.

That was stupid, but I deliberately provoked the Prince to attack me and Rita spent years growing up as Ignatius’s changeling. I attacked Nightshade when she showed up in Wismuth. I can’t hold people’s grudges or stupid plans against them.

I can definitely hold people’s two Summer Fae contracts and refusal to consider one of those fae an enemy against them. Like I said, you have a problem with that, you can quit this team anytime.

It must be so convenient to pick and choose which bits of Portland actually happened depending on when it suits you.

[ aka Strange is calling bullshit on that 'years growing up as Ignatius's changeling' statement ]

[ Lambert’s got bad news for you buddy. ]

I’m not choosing. [ Lambert sounds unhappy just saying that, but he presses on. ]

Childermass asked the Ringmaster about it once. The Severing didn’t just change our memories or bodies, it bent reality. That’s how Childermass and Steven became faeblooded — because the Severing made them live it.

Don’t ask me how that works, because I don’t know.

[ Well Strange has absolutely no idea how to react to this! There's an awkward little pause because whoo hoo, he actually lived a year plus of being a dirtbag to Childermass and that wasn't what he thought were magic memories or what have you.

When Strange speaks again, it's just a simple. ]

I see. [ pause ] I don't know how the magic works either, by the way.

[whattaprick]

No ... but it was strong enough to trap those Fae for all that time, so I can believe it.

The Carnival brings people in from all kinds of times and puts them back when they left. We’ve seen a lot of impossible things.
