[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?

[ 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?

[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.

[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. ]
