...Camelot?

[oncefutureking]

That is what I said, yes.

[cutestnightmare]

[laughing] That's what the place you're from is called?

[oncefutureking]

I fail to see how this is humorous.

[cutestnightmare]

No, because that's my surname! I didn't know there was really a place called that too!

[oncefutureking]

Are you telling me that you are named after Camelot, and you have never heard of the place?

[cutestnightmare]

I got my name from Papa, not from a place.

And I've heard some old legends and stories and things like that but those aren't real. Not in my world at least.

[oncefutureking]

I can assure you that I am a real person. Prince Arthur Pendragon, to be exact.

[A pause.]

[cutestnightmare]

...isn't that supposed to be King Arthur?

Mmhmm~, I'm stuck here too! Not just one of the voices on this thing.

[oncefutureking]

I see. What is your name, then?

[cutestnightmare]

I see~.

Road. Road Kamelot.

[oncefutureking]

Road.

[He says the name slowly, almost bemused.]

[cutestnightmare]

Mmhmm~! Why?

[oncefutureking]

I've never heard such a name, is all.

[cutestnightmare]

I've never heard anyone else with it either. I like it being all mine.

[oncefutureking]

I suppose that is one way of looking at it.
