Fourth Wall (Multiple Character Post)

((ooc: Note! I'll be sharing this post with my other characters. Please note which one you are tagging in the subject line!))


[Even though many of these people are currently away on missions, somehow they manage to end up in Luceti in their old haunts, unaware that they shouldn't be around.

Sokka is in the smithy, doing his usual work. Kurt Wagner is hanging out in the Rec Center, kicking back to play games. Ling Yao is on the roof of a building watching all the new people in amusement. Ganondorf is short on patience and makes his way on horseback to the mountains until this is all over. Arthur is absolutely puzzled, having had no experience with experiments, and is looking for anyone familiar in the crowd.]

[Ahh--oh, yep, that's definitely Arthur. Well, at least he's not stranded here all on his own.]

Arthur? Where is 'here', exactly? What happened?

[arturius]

[He takes a moment to make sure Merlin is all in one piece. The lack of wings is, well, odd.]

Here, Merlin, is Luceti. Where's your wings?

[kerchief]

...Wings? [He looks again at the prince. OH. Yeah. There sure are wings coming out of your back, aren't there.]

I-I haven't got any wings--why do you?

[arturius]

[Yes and he rather doesn't like them and it's not at all fair that Merlin gets spared the indignity.]

Because everyone has them here. Or rather, they're supposed to. This place isn't usually so crowded.

[kerchief]

[Perhaps the Malnosso just took pity on him...?]

Not usually so--wait, so you've been here before?

[arturius]

Before? I've been here for a month now. Do try and keep up, Merlin.

[Come on, they need to go plan and stuff, so he's gonna drag Merlin along with him by the shoulder.]

[kerchief]

[A month? A month? He tries to figure this while Arthur drags him along. Business as usual.]

You can't have been here for a month. I just saw you before I got here!

[arturius]

Yes, well, that's because time seems to move differently here.

[Said like this is obvious and how do you not know this yet, Merlin.]

[kerchief]

[He knows nothing and is trying very, very hard to keep up. But it's a bit difficult when nothing Arthur says is making any sense.]

I-I-I think you may need to slow and start from the being, Arthur.

[arturius]

[He sighs, exasperated.]

Do I have to explain everything to you? [Fine. They're out of the crowd now, so he places his hands on his hips and stares expectantly.] So what do you know already? And what's the last thing you remember?

[kerchief]

I don't know anything. I only just arrived here, and I don't remember how I got here before I ended up in the crowds.

[He starts stammering out an answer as he tries to recall the memories. Last thing he remembers...A-ah.] The...the dragon. You killed the dragon.

[arturius]

The dragon? Merlin, that was over two years ago. I know your memory is bad, but this is a bit much, even for you.

[kerchief]

Nooooo. No, I'm quite certain that was just a day ago. Really.

[Yeah, no, this isn't making any sense. At all.]

[arturius]

Well, wonderful. The Malnosso have managed to make you even more useless than normal. [Shaking his head now.] They've taken two years of your memories.
