✆CHANNEL FREQUENCY: 800.80085
DESCRIPTION: Sans will frequently ignore messages about stuff he doesn't want to deal with, but the second something of importance comes up on the channel he will appear as if he's been listening intently all along.

✉MAIL BOX LOCATION: Novelty Skeleton Statue
DESCRIPTION: There is a skeleton statue next to his trailer door with an extended, bowl-like lower jaw, that looks like it's meant for putting Halloween candy in. He would like it if you did. It's technically his mailbox, though, so mail is probably fine, too.

RADIO: IMMEDIATE CONCERT AFTERMATH

[betheman]

Sans! [Gongenzaka sounds a bit grim, not that this is a likely surprise-the sounds of dying chaos can still be heard behind him in fact. That's not what's important though.]

Sans-there is something we must speak about, as soon as possible..! At the edge of the stadium, Lambert and myself encountered one of the Fae...but more worryingly, she bore the name 'Nightshade'..!

[It wasn't the most direct method he'd had, getting that name, but he got the name and the name was what was important, so-] Considering what you yourself mentioned of Portland, regarding the Summer Fae... [...Well. It seems like this would be quite bad, but he'll let Sans cut in at that point.]

[osteothropy]

[It's not really clear what Sans is doing on the other end, though a response will come in a few moments later, which is basically just Sans spitting into his radio.]

Shit. Fuck.

[betheman]

[................yes that's certainly a good way to. Sum it up.]

...Sans.

...I, the man Gongenzaka, would assume this must be reported to the Ringmaster as soon as able... ...but I need to also carry a message to Lambert, and the Medical team.

She seemed to have poisoned him... ...with what you said concerning 'nightshade berries', I, the man Gongenzaka, hoped you perhaps had an idea of where they could start with the recovery.

[It's not the same poison, if Lambert is still conscious, probably. But Nightshade...well. To be frank he knows shit all about Nightshade beyond what Sans does.

The spitting is also worrying.]

[osteothropy]

[Sans has to land on a building so that he can take a moment to think coherently. Nightshade is here too, so... there must be something she's tracking. Is she on orders, or is she here for her own reasons? If it's on orders it's probably for Steven or the Rose, if it's on her own it could be for Strange.

His thoughts race. He wasn't prepared to deal with two potential kidnapping situations at once.]

The berries were more like a symbolic spell. [Talking about magic theory is a cheap shortcut to sounding reasonable.] I never felt any poison symptoms besides when I first passed out.

Are you saying that Lambert is incapacitated?

[betheman]

Aaauh, for now. She struck his arm, [He explains.] There are plants growing from it-if it's an entirely separate spell however... ....Hmmm. The most I, the man Gongenzaka, could tell was that it was something she had done, after all. [And, like. Anyone who knows what plants Nightshade has, could tell that.]

Regardless-incapacitated, yes. Temporarily is the hope, as he should be returning to the Carnival to speak with one of the medics... [There is a slight undertone there that implies he wasn't quite sure Lambert himself was keen on leaving before shit was properly tided up here...but regardless.]

...He's quite conscious however-and that much is the point, then. [Different poison, different purpose, but at least there's only ONE kidnapped group running around.] Exactly where are you, if I, the man Gongenzaka may ask? [It could be easier if Sans took a look in person-or at least, they could double back to where Nightshade even WAS, but... ...He can't catch a scent or sense for the guy right now.]

[osteothropy]

I'm looking for my brother.

[It's really that simple. His voice is subtly tense as he says it. He's not taking it well.]

Something in the music made him wander off and I can't find him. Helvetica tried to stop him but he wouldn't listen.

[betheman]

........... [Gongenzaka is quiet for a moment.]

.....Yuuya noted a similar matter with 'Yuugo', before he was carried off into the shadows... [He mutters, partly to himself. Still. Brothers are brothers, and it's that simple.]

Understood.

In that case, I, the man Gongenzaka, shall pass this to the Ringmaster-including your whereabouts, if that is preferred. [He'd HOPE someone doesn't plan to just keep that quiet but...Well he's honorable enough to at least agree to leave the guy alone.]

[osteothropy]

I don't care.

[He almost cuts Gongenzaka off, speaking the second he's finished his sentence.]

Just... do what you have to do. You've got my permission.

Tell Lambert to call me whenever he's ready to work.

[betheman]

....

[Well, alright then.] I shall.

[Gon Out. At least he isn't taking the abruptness personally-he feels like he'd be equally unreasonable if it were Yuuya that were taken after all.]
