this isn't Camelot....

[unflinchable]

Characters: Arthur and YOU
Format: [starting action tags]
This log is: open!!!
Location: grounds; Conquest dorms; cafeteria; computers; woods
Summary: Arthur familiarizes himself with the grounds, it's best to know enemy terrain after all.
Warnings: Arthur is a prat

[Arthur's first instinct is to explore the grounds, it can only be to his advantage to know the terrain. He feels a bit naked without his armor or sword (or knights) but the school uniform (so he can fit in) and his own knowledge of hand-to-hand combat will have to do.]

[The bedrooms, dorms, are much smaller than his own chambers and he's forced to share, but they're a bit more high tech. They can see at night without the use of candles, and warm the room without building a fire. Arthur hated it, absolutely hated it. Why did everything here have to be magic? If anything this strengthened his resolve that magic is, in fact, a horrible thing.]

[The kitchens and dining rooms were odd as well. The food was different, it didn't seem as fresh and he wasn't sure he liked it very much. He figured that he could just eat some of the fruits and vegetables, or perhaps go hunting in the woods he saw earlier. He would need to check out the woods later, familiarize himself with that as well.]

[Unfortunately before he can get to the woods he gets completely floored by a room of computers. What even are these weird glowing boxes with a smaller box with letters on it attached?? He's just going to. Stare blankly at it. Forever. Although maybe he should break it and see what's inside?]

[After his computers, what the fuck, episode, he does decide to go to the woods, it's almost familiar and calming. He likes it there.]

I don't care what the book says, any weapon can injure another. I accidentally shot a woman earlier, I think she felt that, Merlin.

[secretlyuseful]

[What...] You shot someone? [He knows Arthur likes using people as target practice but really?

[unflinchable]

Not on purpose! She wasn't even seriously injured.

[secretlyuseful]

Not seriously injured! How did you even manage to shoot her?

[unflinchable]

I may have accidentally pulled a trigger on an unfamiliar weapon.

[secretlyuseful]

Accidentally... [Arthur was usually careful, at least any harm he did was purposeful.] You didn't stop to think it wasn't a good idea? You haven't even been here a day.

[unflinchable]

[heavy sarcasm] Forgive me for not knowing about a weapon I pulled out of someone's chest.

[secretlyuseful]

[He pulls a face.] Yeah, that's weird isn't it.

[unflinchable]

Weird is waking up in a magic box, pulling a weapon out of someone's chest is absurd.

[secretlyuseful]

It wasn't magical, it works on water and fire. [Said like he knows what he's talking about. He totally understood what Nepeta told him...]

[unflinchable]

Merlin. [it's that tone that clearly says 'shut up'] You have no idea what you're speaking about, do you? Do not pretend you are suddenly wise, it will only prove how foolish you are.

[words to live by]

[secretlyuseful]

Well you don't know how it works either. [Pulling a face]

[unflinchable]

And I'm not pretending to.

[gives him a face back]

[secretlyuseful]

Yes you did, you said it was magic.

[unflinchable]

Merlin.

[Translation: This line of conversation is over, please desist.]

[secretlyuseful]

[He gets a moment of silence as Merlin's memory resets himself and he blinks in confusion.] Stop doing that!

[unflinchable]

[a grin spreads over his face, you should probably be afraid]

Oh? So I someone were to say your name you would blank out. That is very useful for when I don't want you following me.

[secretlyuseful]

Don't you dare [Using this against him, would you be so mean?]

[unflinchable]

You obviously don't know me very well, pause Merlin.

[secretlyuseful]

[Owowowowow. He just shoots you a dirty look]

[unflinchable]

[a laugh, that's all, he thinks this whole thing is very amusing]

[secretlyuseful]

[You're such a prat.]

[unflinchable]

[And by prat you mean best friend, right?]

[secretlyuseful]

[That as well. but mostly just a prat]

[unflinchable]

[Prat is beginning to sound suspiciously like a term of endearment]
