✆CHANNEL FREQUENCY: 843.77425 (personal);
DESCRIPTION: Half the time he forgets this thing even exists, or how to turn it on and off.

✉MAIL BOX LOCATION: Next to trailer steps.
DESCRIPTION: The concept of a mailbox is rather foreign to Lambert, who's not exactly what you'd call big on personal correspondence. But there's a wooden crate you can probably drop shit into ???

BUG LAMBERT TO MAKE YOU SHIT: Given time and the right ingredients (which he'll usually ask people to provide) he can make potions (with potential side effects), oils, and bombs. You can bother him more about that in person.

[ Honestly, with all the rest going on, Lambert had almost forgotten about it. ]

What?

[periphrasing]

I talked to Lapis. You know, about Ignatius?

[...]

I also talked to Ignatius about Lapis.

[She's so hesitant to discuss this.]

[whattaprick]

[ There’s a prolonged silence on the other end of the line, mainly so Peridot isn’t subjected to Lambert swearing. ]

All right. And you’re telling me this because...?

[periphrasing]

Uh. Because you wanted to get to the bottom of the situation and I assumed that you would want to hear what the results of my investigation were? Is my assumption incorrect?

[whattaprick]

Right.

[ He sounds distracted, but he shakes it off quickly enough. ]

Let’s hear it, then.

[periphrasing]

[She's tempted to ask, but.]

Well it's pretty much as I expected. She had never heard of Ignatius before. I had to actually explain who he was.

[Hesitantly:] Um. She also said, that. If you have any other questions, you're welcome to come ask her directly.

[whattaprick]

All I really know is if I can count on her not to screw the Carnival over if she gets a chance.

Still doesn’t explain how Ignatius knew to ask for her ... unless that was something they picked up from spying on Winter spying on us, too.

[periphrasing]

[Peridot is maybe half-listening at best. She sounds antsy, distracted:]

Welp, it's like I said. Lapis isn't a threat, and I guess we'll just have to accept that we may never know the truth.

[Says the gem who really wants to put this issue to bed once and for all.]

that should have been 'all i really want to know' ... thanks english

[whattaprick]

When it comes to the fae, do you really want to leave anything to chance?

LOL I didn't even notice and read it as intended anyway so nw :')

[periphrasing]

Mmmmmmmmmmggghhhh... No...

[And then more defensively:] But it's not like I know anything else, so I don't really know what else you want me to do here!

[whattaprick]

[ There’s a beat or two, considering, before Lambert says seriously: ]

Right now? Guess there isn’t much else.

But I want you to tell me if you learn about anything — anything — else about the fae. We don’t know enough, and the Ringmaster obviously picks and chooses whatever she wants to share.

[periphrasing]

Yes. Of course.

[She sounds sort of like she's going to be sick? This conversation is making her feel sick. Can it be over now?]
