Summary
It also didn’t help that the average glyph message was only three characters long, used no articles or prepositions, and usually had no verbs. What was the proper response to:: Curiosity; Sensation of great speed? Was it a question? A comparison? Why, after a brief visit by National Security Director Mearing, did four different ‘Bots send:: Emphasis; overlapping? Why was a particularly bad joke by Bulkhead derided as ::Undercharged when there were actual glyphs for Not funny and Humor fail? How did any of that work?

Synchronicity by seekeronthepath
Fandoms: Nine Worlds Series - Victoria Goddard, The Hands of the Emperor - Victoria Goddard
19 Aug 2023
Tags
Summary
The Emperor sits, nearly motionless, on a dais for the entire duration of the play, with his face in shadow. Restricted to the dais, The Emperor must nevertheless have a strong presence, and the full scope of the character must be communicated through posture, gesture, and voice. To do so while retaining an appropriately imperial demeanour requires great subtlety on the part of the actor.
The Secretary is more active, and seems at first the less challenging role. However, his ability to shift subtly between personal speech and speech on behalf of The Emperor is essential to the impact of the play. The Secretary must be aware of and attuned to the Emperor at all times, without ever looking at him until the final scene.
In among all the thinly-veiled plays about His Radiancy and Kip, this one is about the simultaneous separation and synchronicity between the Emperor and his Secretary.

Summary
It should, they later reflected, have been more alarming when Fitzroy emerged from the bathhouse naked, without sarong or towel, and tore up to the solarium. But none of them had paid him any mind. Under other circumstances that would undoubtedly please him greatly. Under the present circumstances, however –
HELP, the House sings, two minutes later. (The House has never sung before.) HELP. HELP. UPSTAIRS. HELP.

21) Wherein Lady Jessamine's daughter investigates a criminal element in the Arguty Forest. 20) Mr. Moo: illicit kitten dealer. 19) Fitzroy and Jullanar on a slow afternoon with Red Company. 18) Jemis discusses playing cards with a visitor from Ysthar. 17) Violet and her brother, in happier days. 16) An unwelcome customer comes to Elderflower Books.
15) Every city is fundamentally the same upon approach -- except Astandalas. 14) "Unlace me," Lark commanded, and Violet obeyed. 13) The first trick to manipulating Lark is to keep all the important actions just beneath her sight, where she doesn't even realize something might exist to overlook.

Summary
The Last Emperor of Astandalas asked for peace. Cliopher Mdang travelled half way round the world of Zunidh to broker a ceasefire for him.
He may have, just slightly, exceeded his remit.
(All fics in this series build out from events in Embers - and therefore spoil it - but I've tried to keep them viable as stand-alones too.)
