[ The feed comes on to show Arthur pallid and out of breath, sweat gleaming across his brow - from exertion or pain or possibly both. The beginnings of daylight are creeping across the horizon behind him, which is the only reason he's found time to broadcast this message. They're safe, for now. ]

If there are any that would stand beside me and my men -

[ He winces, pain again, but also for future pain of Buffy and her brash attitude. ]

- the term used loosely in this instance to refer to my allies - if there are any that would stand with us, the assistance would be appreciated and well honoured. Particularly those intent on remaining alive for more than a few hours' time without murdering each other or otherwise finding themselves dead.

[ All the disdain. He's looking at you, Team Free Will. There are no motivational speeches this time around. Arthur is fatigued and possibly bleeding out. He breathes deep; perhaps just something small - ]

Rest now while light is upon us. Tend to your wounds and the wounded, and call upon one of us should you find yourself incapable of either. Perhaps most importantly, do not lose sight of your friends' faces, lest you lose yourself within a darkness greater than the night.

The Sun is always laying in wait for the morn, Asgard. We will see these dark hours through.

[ He closes his eyes, exhales harshly. ]

Oh, and Merlin, if you could happen to find yourself upon me, a dear friend seems to have misplaced a knife in my stomach. I know you've never been on time once in your life, but do put in an effort this time, won't you?

[ ooc; feel free to threadjack around this post, and there is a semi-open log here if you'd like to pop around there! Alternatively, if you'd like to hop around the official event logs Alan-mun put up with us, just give us a heads up and we can try to swing all over the place like the madmen we are. :') ]

[expy]

You don't sound too happy with that.

[pratentious]

Would you be?

[expy]

No, but I'd prefer it over having them kill everyone else without meaning to.

all of my apologies for lateness ;;;;

[pratentious]

Who are we to make that decision on their behalf? They don't even know -

[ A sigh. It's folly; he knows it. ]

It's simply unfavourable, it all.

no worries!

[expy]

Never said it was favorable. Just better for avoiding massacres and guilt trips later.

[ Spare the fool a pittance ... Arthur sighs. ]

Have you kept yourself out of harm's way, in the very least?

[expy]

Duh. I'm talking to you right now, perfectly unstabbed, aren't I?

[pratentious]

How am I to know you're not simply better at hiding it?

[expy]

Want me to strip to prove it?

[pratentious]

What? No, I don't want you to -

[ omg Eve why H U F F ]

That - really won't be necessary. I'll take your word for it and be glad to find you in good health, yes?

[expy]

[(ゝω・`)┏┏]

See, that's what I thought.

[pratentious]

[ Ever the diplomat, Arthur rolls his eyes. ]

If you're going to have me die by heart failure before the blood loss gets to me, at least give me the courtesy of your name.

[expy]

Eve Samson. What about yours, Mr. Cardiac Arrest?

[pratentious]

[ A snort. ]

Arthur Pendragon. Lovely not to die on you, Eve.

[expy]

Your name is Arthur Pendragon and you're friends with someone called Merlin. [.....okay yeah.] I can live with that.

[pratentious]

Erm. Congratulations.

[ ... ? ]

[expy]

Yeah-- congratulations to me. I deserve a pizza.

[HER LIFE IS IN SHAMBLES FROM ALL THIS SUPERNATURAL/MAGICAL/MYTHOLOGICAL NONSENSE, OKAY.]

[pratentious]

[ !! ]

I've had one of those. It had something called a pineapple on it, quite unlike anything I've ever had before.

[ yeah, well, he's excited over knowing what a pizza is okay #first world problems. ]

[expy]

Wow, gross. Pineapple pizza should be a federal crime against humanity. You haven't eaten a real pizza until you have one with pepperoni in it.

[#new york pizza elitist]

[pratentious]

Pepperoni.

[ omg so wise what are these things teach me your ways ]

[expy]

It's a type of sausage. Never heard of it?

[worry not arthur she will make a modern pizzavore out of you yet...]

[pratentious]

I can't say that I have, no. Is it quite spicy?

[ despair for new camelot. he will want it every day. ]

[expy]

Depends on the quality. It's meant to be spicy, though.

[cheesy plague on your house........]

[pratentious]

I see. I shall have to seek this pizza out, then.

[ he likes spicy things what have you done Eve oh lord ]

[expy]

Great. Just let me know if you find someplace good.

[she has created a monster.]
