⇨ CHANCE OF A LIFETIME
Who: The Ringmaster and possibly YOU.
When: Day 55 - 57
Where: Carnival grounds.
What: The Ringmaster is mortal now, or something, and it's possible to kill her? But, the real question is... will you? This post can be used for actual murder attempts, but also anybody who really wants to talk to her while she's doing this. (Murders take threading priority, of course.)
Warnings: Possible murder, I suppose.

GAME'S ON↴![]() So, apparently the Ringmaster is mortal now. Or, at least, that's what she says. It may seem like some kind of trick - but on the other hand, she has also sworn this to be true in a way that those more familiar with fae would realize makes lying impossible. Even in general, fae are not inclined to lying and the Ringmaster does not have a history of it. After her announcement on the radio, she can be found around the carnival, no longer an enormous sea serpent mer, but instead back to her normal human form. She doesn't have a mer tail either, at the moment - instead she just walks on the sand as if there is no water, her thin dress and hair the only think disrupted by its flow. She will not hide from anyone wanting to take a closer look, nor will she threaten people away from taking action against her. For the most part she will just keep acting like she usually does, without the flashy gimmicks, still expecting the same levels of respect. Why, though, is the question? Why is she not capable of accessing her magic, and why is she telling everyone about it like it's no big deal? It's as if she's trying to play some kind of game - but the suspiciousness of it all may not be enough to put all all opportunists. Believe it or not, the Ringmaster's life may actually be in the worker's hands. Characters may work to protect her if they wish, but she will not directly order them to. Characters may also, if they choose, actually kill her. This is a real possibility, and something that there are plot plans for if anyone dares make the move - it won't get rid of her forever, but it will affect the upcoming plot in significant ways. Also, obviously, it will affect your character's life, and the lives of those around them. One thing we can promise is that the Ringmaster will not strike back against her murderer when she inevitably comes back somehow. Of course, whatever other consequences may come from the choices they make are yet to be seen... |

She responds to Mari's question like she has about most existential question about this, which is with vague bemusement, like the thought hadn't really occurred to her.
"Not particularly," she says, in the middle of some mundane task that is taking her longer than usual, which is mildly annoying. However, tolerating this situation is like a victory within itself, and every moment she spends at ease about it is another moment she is winning. "Practical deficiencies aside, the state of a mortal's nature primarily lies in fear, which is not something I feel at the moment."
She already knows that Mari likes to talk about fancy shit like this so she is happy to indulge.

Mari loves to talk about fancy shit like this.
Well, that's almost true. It's more like Mari doesn't know how to have a conversation without it.... and she loves learning what people think of themselves. So, you know. Same difference!
"Well, that's true." It's not an oversimplification, honestly. If you think about it, fear and loneliness are the roots of human behaviour. "But now that I think about, I guess you're still you." The push and pull of loneliness and fear and the struggle of the self aren't really a thing RM experiences.
Which is why she's so refreshing!
"If you stay this way long enough, you might change, though. That's what being mortal's like."
no subject
She means that in the most sincere way possible, even if it isn't very ambitious when it comes down to it.
no subject
"Like, try it on Psii sometime. Or Joker." Or anyone else who claims they're okay with themselves. Although she's not actually sure the Psiionic has ever claimed anything of the sort. That's totally beside the point, though.
"It'll go over like a lead balloon, though. So maybe don't."
