016 [Video]

[ofthursday]

[For some, the individual who appears on the screen will be familiar; for others, less so. He's not particularly remarkable, expression calm and voice even, though his stare might be a little more intense than a normal person's usually is.]

I did not expect to find myself here once again.

[He has a brown duffel bag in his arms, just visible at the bottom of the bracelet's screen, which he glances briefly down at before looking back up once again.]

I presume the apocalypse has still not come. Can anyone tell me where we stand as of now in regards to the gods and Ragnarok?

[A pause.]

What day it is would also be of use.

Comments

Pfffffffffffffff <3

[ofthursday]

So you do. It must be pleasant to have so many you know around, however.

too many ppl in this cast can't keep up fjkgh <3

[sworntovalor]

[Pleasant - not quite the word he'd choose, not with everything that went on.]

I am grateful to have them.

I KNOW THAT FEEL

[ofthursday]

[He catches that hesitation.]

Did something occur?

private~ ♥

[sworntovalor]

[He hesitates again before switching the feed to private. Cas is a good friend of Merlin's he will not betray his friends' trust by divulging that which he confided in him. But there are plenty of other things that have gone wrong of late.]

Tension from our future in Camelot seems to have found us here. Morgana will not speak to us.

[ofthursday]

Oh.

[Problems from home are never fun.]

Does she live with you, or elsewhere?

[Because not speaking to them while in the same house would probably be a problem.]

private~ ♥

[sworntovalor]

She left, she lives in her godhouse now. For a long time now.

[Her room is kept waiting for her. Should a need for more space arise Lancelot will give up his room and move to the couch before anyone could ever dare to think for one second to even suggest they give her bed to someone else.]

private~ ♥

[ofthursday]

Which house is she in?

[He doesn't remember them all yet; he just knows Lancelot is in Heimdall and Merlin in Sigyn.]

private~ ♥

[sworntovalor]

In Hel, now.

[Same house as Uther, there's something eerie about it. Wrong. The Morgana he knew would hate it.]

private~ ♥

[ofthursday]

[He nods, frowning just slightly.]

Aside from conflicts, everyone is alright?

private~ ♥

[sworntovalor]

Yes, all limbs are attached and intact, and no one seemed cursed when I saw them last.

private~ ♥

[ofthursday]

That is good to hear.

[A small pause.]

How have your attempts to learn control of your power been faring?

private~ ♥

[sworntovalor]

It has been harder to manage without your guidance, and I have been grey for a fortnight and - then cursed... [His fortune lately, it has taken a turn to the absurd] but I have been improving.

private~ ♥

[ofthursday]

[Being grey doesn't sound fun, and he knows being cursed isn't, so he looks sympathetic for a moment before responding.]

We can resume practice if you would like, once I have opportunity to be certain I can still control mine as well.

[It's been awhile.]

private~ ♥

[sworntovalor]

[No it wasn't fun in the least.]

I would greatly appreciate it. Is there anything you need now, to help you settle back in?

private~ ♥

[ofthursday]

I don't believe so. I'm alright.

[He'll need to get clothes and things again, but that can wait a day or so. He also needs to talk to the hospital about returning to his job, which will almost immediately take care of his money issue, at least.

It's so strange to have to try adjusting back to being mortal and living a 'normal' life after not even being fully in control of his own actions for the past several months.]

private~ ♥

[sworntovalor]

Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

[He pauses, a soft smile spreads on his lips]

It truly is good to have you back. Have you been home long?

private~ ♥

[ofthursday]

I will. Thank you.

[It's nice to know that he isn't alone, if he needs help.]

Nearly two years.

private~ ♥

[sworntovalor]

[Never alone, he has friends who would do anything for him.]

Two years. [It must be so strange to leap back two years later back to a place that hardly changed, to people who did not change...he can't imagine how it must feel.]

Are things well, in your home?

private~ ♥

[ofthursday]

Things are never well in my world. But they could be yet worse.

[So there's that, at least. And Castiel is alive and sane and under his own will again, so he's relatively okay at the moment.]

private~ ♥

[sworntovalor]

I'm sorry.

[It seems not a single resident of Asgard came from a simple home, from a simple life.] I will listen, if you wish to speak of it.

private~ ♥

[ofthursday]

[He shakes his head slightly, looking more somber. He appreciates the offer, but he doesn't want to talk about any of it.]

I'm alright.

private~ ♥

[sworntovalor]

The offer will always stand if you change your mind.

[Alright - he doubts it. He's not alright and all he has are whispers of things going wrong in the future.]

private~ ♥

[ofthursday]

It is appreciated.

[And a small pause.]

I will let you know once I have tested my ability here once again, so that we can resume practice.

private~ ♥

[sworntovalor]

Thank you. You know how to reach me, whenever you wish.
