[ It's well after midnight. The camera feed is a mess of black and grey, the Forge screen the only illumination. It turns Arthur's face sickly, throws unusual shadows across it. His voice is low. ]

Tell me a story.

[ There aren't many left familiar with the way he demands this in bored, petulant tones. ]

About someone you lost.

That's rather-

Are you all right?

Video supercilious July 4 2011, 11:51:36 UTC

I'm... That's not a story, Merlin.

You've been there for most of them. Anyone who really mattered, anyway.

[Will. Freya. Balinor. Even if Arthur didn't know the exact details of each loss at the time.]

I've almost lost a few people. Might make a better story. The ending's certainly happier.

All right.

Why d'you want sad stories?

[video] supercilious July 4 2011, 12:22:51 UTC

I just think it's important to remember, sometimes. They don't have to be sad stories. Though I suppose they always will be.

wotchesyou July 4 2011, 23:39:26 UTC

No, sometimes it's better to forget.

supercilious July 5 2011, 02:15:46 UTC

Perhaps so.

But... I wouldn't force anyone. I just wanted...

[ Someone to talk to? A reason for his heavy mood? ]

It's selfish of me, I suppose.

That's a weird thing to ask.

[ voice ] supercilious July 4 2011, 12:36:29 UTC

It is not! Weird how.

[ voice ] stray_gunner July 4 2011, 12:43:00 UTC

Asking people to pull out their worst memories?

[ voice ] supercilious July 4 2011, 12:46:35 UTC

I don't believe that was my phrasing, actually.

Almost everyone I've lost is here, or has been. In one form or another.

supercilious July 4 2011, 13:45:25 UTC

You're lucky.

Most of those I've lost I met here, actually.

sonvisage July 4 2011, 14:16:16 UTC

Am I? I said they were here, I never said they weren't still lost.

supercilious July 5 2011, 10:15:48 UTC

... Ah.

I take it back, then.

I never thanked you.

[ How brave she is, using video for a change. ]

Why do you want to hear about something like that? [ Also she has no stories you'd want to hear. Most of them were a direct, or indirect cause of her being there. What with either hunting as the bastet, or...well. ]

[ Video ] supercilious July 4 2011, 13:54:59 UTC

I lost someone recently.

[ Video ] cursedtobe July 4 2011, 14:28:53 UTC

[ Oh. ]

...was it Zack?

[ Video ] supercilious July 4 2011, 22:16:18 UTC

[ Wait what? ]

It was.
