And a good evening to you all, Fandom. I'm Prince Arthur of Camelot, and this'll be your rodent-given broadcast of the evening. Today, we were not attacked by harpies: I feel this might be the most relevant news we'll be having all evening, if past experiences mean anything.
Well, that, and that my manservant is clearly the greatest idiot known to man, although I suppose that isn't news.
*squawking and flapping*
Thank you for your contribution, Merlin. Very insightful.
SCHOOL
Leadership discussed the impopularity leaders can gain for their decisions.
Discussion was had on the topic. It's a tough one, but as long as any leader exercises justice and mercy, the people will hopefully take him as a symbol of strength and good will no matter the impopularity of single decisions. In
Heroing we discussed the opposite of this - when to break the law. As a rule, don't. We
discussed this as well.
*squaaawk*
No, I'm not going to go into detail.
Anthropomorphic Anatomy spoke of that grand organ my manservant appears to lack: the brain, and
which personalities it bestows on us.
Chris made his apologies for missing class.
Sam staffed the library, which isn't news.
Jones came to return a library book that was overdue. ...These notes get more inane by the week.
Dean visited to reassure himself that Sam would never engage in anything unspeakable with Chuck. ...That's... good.
Peter also visited.
Flight Club met,
ate, and
practiced improvisation in battle. Sometimes you just have to go by ear.
*squawk*
No, that wasn't actually a comment at you, but I'm sure it could be. In his office,
Sir Minsc was still riding last Wednesday's tales. I think someone should be drafted to write an ode to the Battle of Groovy Tunes. He's not allowed anywhere near it.
DORMS
Kaylee is surprised by Ned for her birthday. I can only imagine.
Meg is complaining about something on the Teevee in her room with Peyton's assistence, until her guards come to take her. I hope there's not been some grave emergency.
Dinah speaks to my roommate about the play and marriage, and certain offences that'll no doubt contribute to Lord Leto's horrible death if he isn't careful.
Savannah has a headache, and
Ronan prepares to throw himself a celebration. That sounds... fun.
To move on to other fascinating news,
Liir returns Hinata's cat. And... that's it.
In the
gym, the leaders of cheer set up for the day. They
stretched, which is utterly irrelevant no matter what the squirrels claim.
Sam spoke to Angela, who challenged
Hannibal to something he tries to talk his way out of. ...Let me know when and where, I could use some amusement. He mocked
Sam for cuddling with Chuck. I didn't need to know that, but thanks.
Robin, a... frog... does a handstand. Er. Congratulations.
Kaylee wishes Hannibal would keep his old nickname, and I'm almost tempted enough to speak to her to find out about that. Unfortunately, I just don't care enough. They get to
business, and
Lady Adora and Hannibal discuss the weekend from the audience. I think it's more relevant to note when people aren't speaking about weekends 'round here than the other way around.
Liir is on the roof, brooding. Terrific.
Ender pays him a visit to speak of leadership and turning into 'crap', although the squirrels assure me that it isn't literal. You can never be too certain.
My
brilliant manservant and his roommate discuss destroying a typewriter with fire when a gremlin pops up and bites them.
Because he attracts inanity. I think it's the ears. Said
roommate then announces to the world how
Merlin is a gay man now. Yes, I'd noticed, considering how it takes a full hour's training to smack that smile off his face. Most servants barely stand one blow.
*SQUAAAWK* *FLAPPING* *squirrels skittering*
Don't be so dramatic, Merlin.
Emmett is equally proud about the whole thing, but agrees that Merlin should have a shave.
Ronan is pleased, bringing up the subject of chocolate...
...
*SQUAWK SQUAWK FLAP SCREECH*
We do need to speak about what's appropriate in a public setting, squirrels. *snicker*
Claire is impressed, but saddened by the fact that I am not Merlin's...
Oh, for the love of God. Not in a million years.
*squaaaawk*
These people need to get their minds out of the gutter.
*disbelieving squawk*
Shut up. I won't suffer such defamation of my person.
Francine doesn't appreciate the joke. My manservant's going to have some trouble convincing her otherwise, considering.
*noise of flailing*
*squirrels yelping*
*SQUAAAWK SQUAWK*
SETTLE DOWN, MERLIN. I realise this is very distressing, but you're acting like a COMPLETE AND UTTER GIRL'S BLOUSE and it's not helping either of us. *sigh* It'll be all right.
*squawk*
Yes, really. It'll just... be a week.
*skreee*
*sigh* I'll speak to her. *pause* Will you shut up so we can we move on? Good.
In
another common room, Tony has his usual Teevee adventure.
Dinah talks about the weekend - etcetera, and so on,
Lady Blysse questions him about something called mummies.
Dinah asks Lady Blysse's wolf about bologna. ...Quite.
Viki shows off some great measure of experience by commenting on the mummies being too clean.
Dinah agrees with her. Why am I not surprised?
Lady Blysse does the sensible thing, and questions Viki's experience in-depth.
Tahiri... appears. Not only are these notes boring, they're also failing to describe anything.
Dinah admired the show's lack of shirts. All right then.
Viki was confusing - no change there then, going by the editorial - and
Liir stared at the Teevee. Useful.
Tony put forward some question as to his health,
Dinah offered him some food, and
Blysse greeted him.
*squaaawk*
I would say so, Merlin. ... I don't know how I understood that.
*chittering*
I'm starting to feel as if going mad is preferable to dealing with all of this. Right.
Tahiri gained some detail on the play, now let's move on to the town.
... All right.
Merlin was an idiot and turned himself into a merlin because he's strange, literal, and has no mind to speak of. Now we move on.
*squawk*
I said shut up.
TOWNIES
Yzma turns herself into a cat. I think I safely speak for all of us when I say we're grateful.
Johnny set paper ducks alight at Luke's Diner. That... sounds a bit dangerous. Thinking ahead - it's a challenge, but I can assure you it's worth it.
Amber danced down the aisles, but paused to discuss swimming with
Hinata.
Naomi opened Stark's armory, where she acquired some
food from Jack.
Sarah is in a good mood at the Android's Dungeon;
Hurley rifles through the books in an attempt to catch up.
Ino cleans and talks to the plants, which is a regular occurance that still leads me to believe she's a bit off.
Romeo, best watch yourself.
Murdock was visited by
Tully at the lighthouse. Apparently they're to restore the tower in May.
Charlotte put up flyers for some display.
Sir Dale took complaints at the Knight's Station, and
Sir Daisy is a great help in dealing with matters of insurance.
Jeff, who I've grown to believe really is the village idiot, falls out of a cupboard. He discusses
snails with Turtle. ... Definitely the village idiot.
Lady Alice sees to the damage at Groovy Tunes, site of last week's epic battle, and
Dinah sought to make her reparations.
Katina,
Rusty,
Ichigo and
Claire manned their usual shops.
The physician gained the weekend's gossip from her dogsbodies.
Penelope's mood was foul at Caritas, but it was no doubt brightened by
Hurley's enthusiasm over an attack-free Wednesday. I could not agree more.
Ben was restoring his apartment, no doubt from the harpy attack, when Sir Daisy came to his aid. I hope neither of you ran into a great deal of trouble doing so.
Lindsay hosted this week's Lady's Sewing Circle, which is quite possibly the only Lady's Sewing Circle with more men than women.
They mingled.
Tyler helped himself to the food, where he found that participation in the sewing was required to remain.
Lady Bennet also chose to question his dedication to the art.
Sir Minsc brought his hamster; Lindsay wished to know if it was housebroken. I think Sir Minsc has worse things to worry about, such as
shocking Mina,
confusing Lady Bennet, or abusing volatile magic.
Lindsay warned Charlotte not to partake of the lucky charms, as there was a hamster in them.
Eliza amused Lindsay with her carpetbag. I'm sure it was hysterical.
Mina explained Minsc's many, many head injuries to Lindsay. I saw him take a harpy to the head just this Wednesday, in fact. It explains a few things.
Simon said he required the hobby to keep a certain hamster from chewing up all of his clothes. Perhaps training the hamster is an issue Sir Minsc should be concerning himself with.
Ronon wished to know what to wear to a sewing circle. Clothes, I imagine. If there's anything else, I really don't want to know.
Arya showed up.
Sir Minsc questioned her on her reasons to be there, namely whether she was a 'stitcher' or a 'bitcher'. Quite.
Simon hoped to learn how to sew, but it appears that Lindsay doesn't actually know how.
...
That makes sense.
Sir Minsc tells Simon of his hamster's aspirations towards sewing.
Deadpool nearly managed to baffle him, and I'm sad I wasn't there to see it. In a shocking turnabout, people actually
sewed next.
Deadpool had some trouble with it - understandable - but
Lady Bennet assured him that practice would get him there eventually.
During the whole meeting
nothing attacked, thankfully.
I think that's about all.
*SQUAAAAWK*
*sigh*
Fine. Let's get you a perch, Merlin. I won't have you flapping around in the forest or the dorms on your own. You might... break a wing, or something.
*squawk*
