Can anyone tell me what I did at Will's party yesterday? Everything got a bit blurry after the third drink.

... OW.

((OOC: So Merlin, epically, cannot hold his drink, and Will had the brilliant idea to get him drunk - it didn't take very much. He probably managed to coax Merlin into singing the Johto anthem, and perhaps a drinking song or two ( Read more... )

[The Pcd is the first thing to fall, and while the video feed is upside down as a result, you can quite clearly see Merlin bend down to retrieve it at the top of the stairs only to suddenly lose his balance and begin to topple backwards.  His arms pinwheel slightly as he attempts to remain upright.  He doesn't.  Merlin tumbles backward down the ( Read more... )

[The first sort of sound to filter through the PCD is a horrified, male scream. There, that ought to get everyone's attention, right? Followed by a muted, sniffling sound that transitions slowly into heaving sobs that eventually translate into words.]

Oh n-no, oh no. No, no, no, no. Sorry - 'm so sorry. Don't want to, didn't...

[His mutterings ( Read more... )

[The first sound that the PCD picks up is the sound of running feet, so close that one of them actually manages to nick a corner of the PCD and send it skidding across the floor. Merlin's voice can be heard clearly, though the word itself may be slightly incomprehensible.]

SWEBBAN!

[A muffled thud and Merlin sighs heavily, as if burdened by a ( Read more... )

[Merlin is sleeping, finally back home after the past week spent at the clinic recovering and "babysitting" Rhode, his face turned away from the camera and sprawled out loose limbed on his back, mouth slack from sleep. Bran is curled up like a cat on the pillow beside his bed and most of the blankets have slid off an fallen to the floor. They're ( Read more... )

Still early, obviously, but anyone who's taken a quick look at the comments under the plot post might understand why I want to double check that I've got everything correct and/or relatively organized.

I've decided on staging the enforced captivity portion of the plot at Edward's House because it's unoccupied, isolated, and has a large, upstairs ( Read more... )

[The feed switch on as the PCD hits the ground, having apparently fallen from Merlin's pocket. Merlin is walking away from it with something in his arms, cradled close to his chest. Bran, close on his heels, stops by the fallen PCD and growls at Merlin until he stops and turns around, spotting the fallen PCD.]

Oh!

[He comes back to retrieve the ( Read more... )

[The first image viewers are treated to as the video switches on is a very close up of Bran's snout, before he steps back and away from the PCD and walks across the bed to curl up by Merlin's head, growling softly in his ear until Merlin stirs.]

Whuh--?

[Pushing himself up by the arm that's not splinted with a barely suppressed wince, Merlin ( Read more... )

[The video switches on to reveal Merlin's first real experience with an Adstring event: on his back a pair of large, inky black dragon's wings have sprouted. He also appears to be running from something, and muttering furiously to himself.]

Why do I suddenly have wings? Is this some part of being a Dragonlord that dad didn't tell me about - I ( Read more... )

[The PCD is set in Merlin's lap, pointed away towards the ground, and while it's obvious that he's not meaning to broadcast anything in particular, he keeps playing at the buttons, switching various features on and trading between voice and video at odd times. He's talking in short, stuttered sentences, low and slightly under his breath.]
