⇨ THE EPILOGUE

[ringleaders]

Who: Everyone!
When: Day 61
Where: The Carnival
What: After all the rescues team return, it will be matter of tending to the wounded and getting the hell out of dodge. The Ringmaster can handle the fleeing part, but someone will need to look after those in the medical tent. Or, maybe, you just want to show up and ask what the hell happened.
Warnings: Some messed up consequences of faerie fuckery.

IN REPAIR↴ As the minutes tick past, all four rescue groups will eventually return. Everyone in the carnival is encouraged to help out, ensuring that the rescues and victims both are taken care of after the fact. You can tag in here as rescuers taking care of business around the carnival, victims recovering, or other workers checking in to see what's going on. This log is for general aftermath threads, made by anyone.

She's glad that Reira figured that out on her own, because it means she doesn't have to explain it. Her feelings on this are all very awkward, and she is honestly too embarrassed to get into some of the specifics.

"No... usually, people are dead when I eat them."

[soft_focus]

Oh dear.

It doesn't take very long to sort that one out- if people are 'usually dead' then. "....They're trying to get out..!?" she squeaks, somewhat panicked. This is of course assuming the Ringmaster wanted to eat them in the first place. Holding something that wanted out, in would probably not be very easy either, and, well-

She chews her lip. This is becoming an unfortunate habit. "...Did you have to eat them because they can't go somewhere else..?" she asks. It isn't as though she realizes just what led up to it in the first place.

In a curious sense, she's not far from wrong- even if she herself was likening the matter to how she'd thought of putting bits of roses in the air.

"I'm not sure...?" she says. "It would seem that, awake or not, he is a hard pill to swallow."

She belches steam into the water indicatively.

"...But the alternatives were too dangerous. We're both fire elementals, so I suspected I could keep him under control."

[soft_focus]

Well. That's kind of weird. "...oh...." Sleep fighting. Okay.

She is admittedly a bit curious- and perhaps, trying not to think about the fact that the Ringmaster is currently digesting another faerie alive. Maybe talking can take her mind off any of the hurting parts without causing ruckus there at least. "...I guess you can't put them in something like where the Rose is, if it's too dangerous," she mutters, mostly to herself. After all, the Ringmaster obviously knows that, it's why she said it was too dangerous.

"Does the water help?" she asks- wonders, really. "....would anything help..?" she adds a little more quietly, perhaps hoping that there could be some impossible chance that little things like tea or company or similar would make this any easier.

[lordofthering]

"The water helps disperse the excess heat energy, yes," she says, only half able to pay attention. "I may have plenty of fire in me, but I have a water aspect as well. He does not."

"I don't know anything else to do. I've never done this before."

Whether Reira realizes that the dragon's attention is fading or not, she goes quiet for a few moments to ponder the information. Important Point 1 - The lake is Definitely Helping, so that's good.

Important Fact 2....This is BRAND NEW. Which doesn't really help much in terms of Ideas to Help.

She decides to default to her Stomache Ache methods. That has to mean something here, she hopes. "...When I was sick, from the poisoned food," she starts, "...Everyone said to sleep. ...but you probably can't sleep... ...but..." Slowly, her eyes start moving...up. A bit. "They also said to eat different things..."

"...What if you ate something cold? ...Really cold," she adds. "...not the rose pieces though," Reira decides to note. She'd hope that was obvious, but she feels like she should mention it anyway. The rose was supposed to do the Frost and Flame stuff after all, so she doesn't want to have the Ringmaster assume she meant that. "...You already said those don't burn, ever..."
