[144.98750] RINGMASTER'S THIRD ADDRESS (D55)

[lordofthering]

[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?

I am no infant child, Zecora! I'm sure I could hold my own, with or without my abilities.

[kingsroads]

[ 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? ]

[lordofthering]

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

[kingsroads]

Is that good feeling solely a gut feeling or are there external factors at work?

[wild_magic]

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!

[cuckooed]

Naturally.

[No one better try to mess this up suckers, Grandma's on the job]

[puddingemote]

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.]

[musicinmotion]

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.]

[destiny_key]

Ah, are you okay? How did this happen?

[Priorities. Sora has them.]

[phichitchu]

[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...?

[thevictoriandetective]

Heh.

[The sound of muffled laughter.]

[sunflowerfields]

Well, be sure to take care of yourself anyway! And let me know if you need anything.

[lordofthering]

Hmmm.

Both, you could say. It's a little complicated, but unfortunately I'm in no place to spoil the details. I'll tell you all about it later, I'm sure.

[lordofthering]

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

[lordofthering]

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

[lordofthering]

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.

[lordofthering]

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

[lordofthering]

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.

[lordofthering]

:)

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

[destiny_key]

Ah, sorry...

Do you... do you need any help?

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

If I may be so bold:
When did you last have a cold?

[kingsroads]

Well I hope that when all this is over, you do tell me. I've a feeling there's a good story behind this and I'd like to hear it.

[ because yeah, she is FAR TOO COMFORTABLE for this to be a problem, says the person who would throw a hissy fit if he lost his magic. ]

[phichitchu]

[It takes him a minute to get the joke, but then he's laughing.]

As long as you're not hurting right now, that's good!

[puddingemote]

Oh. That's good. Then, everything will be okay.

[lordofthering]

Hmmm. Do you mean a human cold, or anything approximating a cold within my species?

[Consider the possibilities.]
