limacharlie | [144.98750] RINGMASTER'S THIRD ADDRESS (D55)

[Early Day 55, all of the radios's screens will light up green, as they do when the Ringmaster speaks. Despite the message she is delivering, she actually sounds quite at ease.]

Hello, everyone. I am obligated to report to you that I have lost my abilities and have become mortal, for the time being! This means that for the next little while, I will be as easy to kill as any one of you, and won't be able to perform any of my spectacular feats of magic. So, don't become the target of any terrible curses in the next little while, hmm? I wouldn't recommend telling the merfolk of my state, either.

I assure you, this is not a lie or a trick, I am merely informing you out of solemn duty. It should not cause problems in the long run, but there may be minor inconvenience over the next few days. Don't ask me how this happened because I'm not going to tell you.

You may complete your performances for the week as expected, and I will update you when circumstances have changed.

Any questions?

IS IT CONTAGIOUS???

It is not! You should be safe. This is my problem alone.

Oh, dear. Are you ill? Do you need anything? I could whip up some chicken noodle soup really quick...

[No, seriously, is this what happens when magic creatures get sick?]

Oh, how sweet of you Hinawa. You really are kinder than most deserve.

However, I am fine. I'm sure this will resolve itself in time.

Oh. Wow.

Are--how are you doing?

I feel just fine! Slower than usual, absolutely, but I doubt it will interfere with the bulk of my duties, provided you all behave yourselves.

You sound surprised?

...

Should I send you a get well package?

[HOW DO YOU EVEN]

Don't worry, Koel. There are extenuating circumstances. I'm sure everything will be fine!

[Strangled sputtering is all that comes over for a moment, before Zecora gets her chill back.]

I have several brews
That I need you to use.

You sound upset!

[ Strange makes a little noise of disgust before, ] How awful.

[ and a bit confusing. Obviously this is something she either chose to do or is comfortable with happening, as she's so calm...but why on Earth would she do it in the first place? ]

Normally, I would agree! But I have a good feeling about it, this time.

Oh, I know a spell that makes magic armor to protect people, I can cast it on you if you want! That way you'll be safer til it comes back!

I would not say no! If you wish to lend you aid, I will accept it.

wild_magic - 2017-02-01 22:40 (UTC) - Expand

Will we get attacked again while you're mortal?

[He also wants to know how someone who was immortal can even become mortal, but she already said she wouldn't answer that question.]

I doubt it! King Triton will protect his realm from outsiders, at the very least.

What's going to happen to the carnival? Aren't you..doesn't the magic come from you?

[At least that's what he assumed.]

Yes. However, it's not as if that power has been stripped from this place entirely. It is simply not accessible to me, at the moment. It's a minor inconvenience.

musicinmotion - 2017-02-01 15:26 (UTC) - Expand

Ah, are you okay? How did this happen?

[Priorities. Sora has them.]

I already said that I wouldn't explain it, Sora, my dear! Though your concern is adorable.

[Phichit looks more thoughtful than outright concerned.]

You seem sure it'll come back, and you would know. Do you feel any pain, or anything...?

Oh, yes. Most creatures do.

Though, not as a result of the loss of magic, if that's what you mean. I would have to be injured, first.

Heh.

[The sound of muffled laughter.]

:)

[Yeah that's right, you little shit.]

Are.... Are you okay? Is there anything you need?

[He's not really sure how to address the Ringmaster, so he's defaulting to 'polite and concerned.']
