⇨ 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. |
five / ota
Five has been fiddling with her radio on and off since she got it, of course, and when she hears this message from Joker (admittedly, not a voice she recognizes), she doesn't answer but gives the invitation some consideration anyway. It doesn't take long for her to decide to check it out, because she wants to make friends and fit in, to make connections. This should be one way to do that, right?
She drags along her own blankets and pillow from her trailer, keeps her knife with her tucked into her boot as a precaution. This is actually her first time in the main performance tent, and it's a pretty glaring reminder that what she's just done is join a circus, of all things, when she's never even seen one before.
Dropping her stuff into a pile any old place, she wanders the tent. Climbs, explores, and it could be considered dangerous, maybe, since she's not exactly an acrobat, even if she does have plenty of experience climbing into, crawling around in, and dropping from air vents. Not quite the same thing as the heights involved here, though.
"Woah. This is pretty high up." Case in point. Yet it's said more in awe than in fear.
[ooc: idk, she's on a thing, doesn't matter what thing? prose or brackets, I'll match whatever!]
post-sleep
We'll call this a nightmare, for simplicity's sake, though it's really a memory in the form of a dream. Not her own. Someone else's. And it's not the first time it's happened, not the first time that frightening memories from the minds of her former crew mates (her friends and pseudo-family back home) have left her tossing in her sleep, heart racing from the images.
She jolts awake in her pile of blankets, breathing heavily and close to tears. But as soon as she's conscious again, the images are slipping from her grasp, everything's hazy. Yet the feeling, the fear, remains. Like she was being chased. Hunted like an animal.
Five shivers, and wraps her arms around herself, attempting to calm herself down though she's pretty sure she's not going to be able to fall back asleep any time soon.
