25th Spark || [Video] Backdated to morning of 11/9

[It's a close up view of a desk's surface that first greets the viewers, coupled complete silence...or as much silence as you could have with the Goldenrod background music playing. Then, a sigh, and the sounds of nervous shuffling reach the Gear just before it's flipped right side up to show Merlin's face.]

All right. [He takes a breath, eyes ( Read more... )

my name is inigo montoya--wait..., first i lol'd...but then i serious'd, !action, !video, he really is an open book, this is how we roll in camelot, location: goldenrod, what is effective planning, this is probably a bad idea, not exactly as planned, what is this thing called failure

[Leaning in the doorway with folded arms and a relatively excited smirk.]

So when do we leave, Leader? Heheh.

In about a week, I think. It'll give people time to travel, get to Goldenrod or Mahogany--whichever's closer.

[Merlin looks down at the Gear, smile twisting a bit.] I'm a bit nervous. I'm so used to working alone...or following Arthur if I'm in a group. What if everything goes wrong because I'm the one planning this?

Oh, cool. That'll give us enough time for me to figure out who's staying behind to watch the Centre and all. I know Souji basically left it to me... [Which does, in fact, make him reluctant to leave. It's an unspoken measure that he's set for himself to prove that they're equal, after all.] But I think for this, he'd get it.

Buuuuuuuut, that means I've gotta make sure things are still running and all while we're gone.

I've got time for that later, though.

[He offers a grin to Merlin. His spirits haven't been totally terrible these last few days, but they're visibly lifted with the prospect of this.]

Dude, have a little more faith in yourself. And anyways, that's why you're not doing it alone, right? [He makes the ever-famous strong-man pose, grin widening and he lets out a laugh.] I'm a career second banana, bro! I've done this stuff enough that I'll be right there, backing you up when we need it.

So what, you want to kick down the door and wreck their base?

...I like this plan. Count me in.

Nothing that dramatic. If no one's there--[something he doubts now because of this message, and his conversations with the new Rockets]--we'll just have a look around the place and see if we can find anything useful.

Yeah, well if they are there I'll take care of 'em.

Together. [Merlin raises his eyebrows. Okay, he's not usually the assertive type, but this is important, and he can't afford to back down.] We're doing this as a group--I'm serious, Lancer. It'd be horrible if people got separated and left behind, you included.

Count me in. They're up to something, and we need to find out what before they hurt someone.

[Oh, someone he knows is reliable and skilled at combat. This is a relief.]

That's the plan. Where are you right now?

In Mahogany, with Ven and Leon.

[A momentary pause while she sets up a filter; there's something else she has to tell him but a public channel isn't the best place to say it.]

They've been coming in and out of that base all night. I'm not sure what's going on.

You think they might be interested in joining in, too? [He has a feeling Ven might, but he doesn't know Leon all that well.

The new information has him frowning.] They have? More than usual, you mean.

So... you are planning an attack?

[Video] tiercelet November 11 2011, 04:14:07 UTC
That's the idea, yeah. Hopefully we won't have to fight, but it's better to be prepared. [With so many people telling him the HQ is still being used, he's certain they'll need to defend themselves against the guards, at least.]

...You will have to be very careful in there.

...I know. [A brief pause.] Have you been in there--the headquarters?

... Are you gonna be fighting?

[Oh, no, Nanako. Merlin doesn't like seeing her distressed, but there's no point in lying if she already saw the message. He nods, holding his arms out slightly. Want a hug?]

[she shuffles her feet a moment but then hurries over right into his arms, clinging a little. ;;]

[He lets her cling, patting her back reassuringly.]

Hey, it's all right. We'll be back before you know it. [When he pulls away, he does it only enough to look at her.] You'll have to help us look after the Centre, since we aren't here. We trust you with this.

[ruffles her hair.]
