⇨ THE PRINCE IS DEAD
Who: Everyone!
When: Day 178 - B1: Day 6
Where: The Carnival and sometimes on top of the Heart of Stone.
What: Now that the Prince is dead and gone, there's a lot left to sort out. As the remaining servants are liberated and those captured by the Prince are tended to, it's time for recovery and goodbyes.
Warnings: Nothing in particular.

HOME GROUND↴ At long last, it is over. The Prince is dead, and all of his stolen Names have been restored - all that's left to do is treat the wounds and move on. For the first day or two, the Ringmaster will be arranging passage for the servants that are left, all of which have remembered their names for the first time in years. The earth elemental that had been trapped and forced to serve as the Prince's manor, the Heart of Stone, is happy to help for the moment. It appreciates the Ringmaster's mercy, and is free after untold eons of imprisonment. Yet, there are plenty of aspects that are far from simple. There are still servants left mad and transformed into beasts, with no easy way to change them back. The Prince's spells outlive him, and those bearing his poison and his curses will have a difficult road ahead of them. Though most of the bestial servants have been rounded up, and a large number that had been reduced to unmoving statues returned, even the Ringmaster can't return them to normal so simply. The next week is for rest and for settling remaining affairs. If you want to bid farewell to any particular NPCs, or assure care is given where it's needed, now is the time to do it. ► A CURE: The Ringmaster will tell everyone simply - there is no simple way to undo another fae's magic. The Prince's powers were essentially on par with hers, which means that those who have been transformed to stone and those that were cursed into beasts and driven insane are not something she can trivially fix. It will take the work of the carnival and a couple weeks of treatment to shed the curse of stone, and the maddened servants are an entirely separate matter. She will do what she can, but for the most part she is arranging for the Prince's servants to be cared for elsewhere. At least for now, the Ringmaster will be animating the stone portions of people's bodies with magic, though those portions will still be a bit clumsy and numb feeling. ► THE NEW HEARTSTONE: In the absence of the prince, the Heart of Stone will be taking over the remains of the Prince's realm and preventing it from collapsing into void. As it turns out, the manor had been an earth elemental all along - a form of Wyld Fae almost on par to the Prince and Ringmaster themselves. How the Heart of Stone was enslaved is a long story presumably, but the Ringmaster considers it to be a sign of the Prince's own depravity. The Heart will be allowing visitors for the first couple days of this period through the portal, but keep in mind you are essentially just walking around on its body. At least the realm has a floor, now, instead an endless abyss surrounding it. |

"I'm just trying to learn as much about the carnival as I can, especially since I'm a Patrol."
no subject
"Are you already an experienced defender?"
no subject
She was an expert tactician if you counted beating Colonization IV on Hard difficulty. She once successfully held off an assault from a force ten times her size while holed up in a single castle for two years before her host arrived to break the siege. Nightmare difficulty had so far eluded her, but in her defense, the stats on enemy armies in that were extremely unfair, and enemy leaders were unrealistically aggressive.
no subject
Well, at least she's patrol and not a mercenary. There's less 'stick your face into the immediate unknown danger of every world we visit' in that regard.
"Hm. Well, there are training grounds if you feel you need to brush up on any of your skills." He gestures to himself. "I am Syrlya. I also serve under the Warden as a bouncer, and I am one of the nightrunners for the carnival."
no subject
"I've heard of the nightrunners-" Her face betrayed a certain amount of excitement.
"What do you have to do to join?"
no subject
"Er--" He shifts on his feet, unfolding his arms as he stares uncertainly at her for a moment. Technically he should defer her to Lambert for this, but Lambert's all manners of screwed up right now and he'd rather not make him have to deal with an enthusiastic kid about it.
"I believe all of us were assigned to them when we signed their contract? As far as I know, we all have some manner of combative or scouting experience already."
no subject
"Whats the weirdest thing you guys have found when we 'land' in a new area?" She had no idea what verb to use for a space-traveling carnival. She doesn't even know what form of locomotion they used. If it was some kind of transposition, then maybe the verb would be 'pop'?
no subject
For him, Greysol was the weirdest. But Lambert has a story to tell him earlier, and he's doubtful that qualifies as the worst or least understandable place they've visited before.

He has no idea yet that their numbers have expanded one monster hunter and a cat. "The carnival is a fairly small group."
no subject
"I also met another android at the ball, although she turned out not to be real."
no subject
"What do you mean by 'not real'?" Did the Prince not actually kidnap all those people? That's actually a relief if so.
no subject
"But I think it means they were more like illusions or figments rather than the actual people? But they were realistic enough, I think. Perhaps like reflections or echoes of real people."
no subject
"That's good to hear. I was certain that not everyone there was with the carnival now.. but all of you who were real are?"
no subject
"Was there... someone you met that disappeared?"
no subject
And that includes strangers getting randomly kidnapped to his ball. He's just altruistically concerned about what the Prince might have done to anyone.
no subject
"Y-yeah." Dang, that sounded lame.
"I think it was just me and Cole? I haven't met anyone else who stayed from the ball."
