[Public Channel] Day 69 morning : news about Iggy

[worldlyafflictions]

[Honestly, it isn't his fault he doesn't have hammer space or fancy magic to use for hiding stuff. Tyki didn't have to suggest he should contribute some other way like he had something to make up for when the topic of assuring the rest of the Carnival that the situation was under control came up; any one of them could have done that! But in the end there wasn't a graceful way to weasel out of it, so here Shima is, sighing and clicking his radio on to the public channel once they'd made it back to camp and had some rest.

The aggressive cheer in his voice poorly disguises the put upon tone to his announcement.]

Mooorning everybody~

Shima again. I'm sure some of ya've been wondering what's been up with that fae that our last team captured 'n got the Ringmaster ta eat. Well, good news, she's fine now 'n the eating was temporary.

Iggy-san is doing less hot, but he's alive 'n we've got him inside, uh... I guess it was a beach moon? Not sure how that works. But yeah, for whatever reason, since I fit the Ringmaster's criteria for a person suitable ta bring along for a chat with him, here's a first hand account that his powers have been stripped and he's successfully contained 'n not leaving the Carnival for a while.

Take a sigh of relief, or brace yourselves. Whichever!

Yesterday. Surely you aren't so scatterbrained as to have already forgotten about Lambert.

[ Yeah, admittedly not at all related to Ignatius, but if he has to apply it to this situation, he will absolutely be underhanded about it. ]

[kingsroads]

[ Whereas Childermass is underhanded with his tactics, Strange is blunt as hell. ]

That had nothing to do with Ignatius and everything to do with the personal information Lambert was withholding. Specifically, who he was in— [ nope, gonna have a bit of decency, gonna not put Lambert on blast with the 'love' word even though that's the main thing Strange is pissed about ] —who he was seeing and sleeping with ever since the moon.

[ he doesn't outright SAY 'I'm pissed at you also' but considering that Strange is saying all this through gritted teeth, that's pretty much implied. ]

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about the time frame. For all I know, it could have been earlier.

[atouts]

What it was about hardly matters, Strange. All you managed to do was prove that you're a violent man when kept out of the loop. You'll attack your supposed friend over something like that, so who's to say you won't attack young Mr. Shima next?

[ For example. ]

[kingsroads]

This Ignatius business is only a few days old. Unlike Lambert, Shima hasn't had the opportunity to lie to me for months on end.

[ welcome to getting dragged into some bullshit, Shima. ]

Shima also never promised me that he would try to be more open about himself before going right back to lying and needless secrecy.

[atouts]

If that's what you think justifies it, then I shall await news of you going after whoever else you've perceived as a terrible liar.

[ come at him, bro. ]

But until then, I will indeed be offering the Ringmaster my opinion on the Ignatius matter.

[kingsroads]

In that case, I'll keep an eye out for you once I return to the campgrounds.

[ bring it, asshole ]

[whattaprick]

[ WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING ANYMORE??? ]

[worldlyafflictions]

[Inaudible choked laugh as he lets go of the talk button.]

[flashover]

Aaaah, I guess that's true... Still... seems like a weird choice. ... Ah! Maybe it's because you're such a smooth talker!

[Well thats

kind of a compliment??]

[worldlyafflictions]

Well yeah. That's just one of my many talents~

[spaghettimonster]

Make friends, while still pretending to be his enemy... Well, that's simple enough. Just bluster and threaten a lot! Interrogate a little, confide some personal things along the way... Before you know it, friendship begins budding.

[haides]

Tis a pity that the fae can be silenced so easily. (He might be trolling. No, he is definitely trolling.)

[exaomori]

[So Shura didn't have such a hot night last night, and she's wondering if she may have just found the reason why...]

Some beach moon? I wonder... How far can those kaoriyoroboki take someone?

[worldlyafflictions]

Kaor--oh, those mushi things? Why...?

[worldlyafflictions]

Erm. I dunno if there was actually anything easy about it.

[exaomori]

I had a weird dream, and I ain't the kind to have vivid dreams of things and places I don't know. I ain't gonna say that I know exactly what I saw, but the timin' is weird.

[worldlyafflictions]

Eeeh? That's convenient! Or I guess it could be bad...? What'd ya see?

[exaomori]

I guess I was gettin' presented to the Summer Queen? Well, not me, but it may have been that guy. There were people I've never seen before in my life, but I knew who they were. It was a little creepy, honestly.

[worldlyafflictions]

[Waves his hand, not that she can see him doing that]

Sounds like dreams for ya, even weird merge-y dreams... Well Ginko-san 'n Tanyuu-san got the cure done if ya haven't seen 'em yet for the remedy... Ginko-san's the uh.. weird green one with white hair, dunno if ya've met.

But creepy or not that means ya know a little more about the Summer Courts if it was really his dream. How much do ya remember?

[whattaprick]

Wait -- you're saying you were in his dreams?

[exaomori]

Seen 'im around. I go track him down in a bit.

[Good to know. She hasn't had any issues, but after last night...

Well, that was just an unsettling dream, that's all.]

Just remember some names and faces. Saw the Summer Queen. But it wasn't like I got a long tour or nothin'. But I'm guessing strippin' him of his powers has put him in a pretty bad way if I really was in his dream.

[exaomori]

I'm saying I mighta been in his dreams. I don't know what else woulda caused it, but it ain't like I've confirmed it with him or anythin'.

[haides]

Yet it was done and that proves that it wasn't impossible.

[worldlyafflictions]

Well then ain't it better that we proved something wasn't impossible than things just staying the same?

[worldlyafflictions]

So it was a nightmare about being presented to his Queen then. Aah.. I almost feel bad...
