I've been using magic since before I can even remember. With this-- chip inside of me, it feels like I'm only half of a person, without my magic, I'm nothing, I'm just a nobody from nowhere.

How will I protect Arthur like this? How will I do anything? It's just-- wrongThere's got to be something I can do. There always is

You can still be you without your magic. Don't be stupid. Its not powers that make anyone themselves.

[half_a_coin]

I won't even ask how you could read that, let's just hope Arthur is as stupid with this as I apparently am.

Believe me, they are. Clearly you don't get told about your destiny involving using your magic every other day.

One of my best friends here is pretty good with computer-things, you'd be surprised how easy it is to access some of the personal stuff... I like to keep track, especially with new people.

Hnph. Destiny's whatever you make of it. You won't be without it forever. There's a way to get it back here.

I'm trying to learn magic from a mage here called Vaati. He waited for it awhile, but...if they ever find out where they've been putting chips in the newer people, you should get it out.

[half_a_coin]

That's what this is called? A computer?

Yyyeah, somehow it always finds its way back here, I'm not worried. I just hope it'll catch up before someone gets killed.

They can get it out, no trouble? As long as they know where it is?

[osuwarimiko]

You're from... Camelot? Like in the stories?

[half_a_coin]

I guess the bards had things to tell about Uther, but that's already 20 years ago.

[osuwarimiko]

... Oh.

You don't really look like the Merlin in the pictures.

[half_a_coin]

I think you're probably thinking of the wrong Merlin, sorry. I'm not in any stories.

[a51stcenturyguy]

Merlin?

[half_a_coin]

Uh, yeah. Hi.

[a51stcenturyguy]

...and you're from Camelot.

As if this place wasn't weird enough already.

[half_a_coin]

Wait, did Uther install a law where there actually aren't any Merlins allowed in Camelot but through some freak incident I slipped through anyway?

Because that's the only way those things can be weird, as far as I can tell.

Hunting is a wonderful idea.

[half_a_coin]

Well, don't look at me! I just carry stuff around and step on twigs!

[sunningwolf]

Why is that? Do you not enjoy hunting?

[half_a_coin]

I guess I'd enjoy it more if I weren't so bad at it.

[heroisms]

...

Merlin.

[half_a_coin]

It's a really strange name here, apparently.

[heroisms]

Not as strange as you think. I simply know your master.

[half_a_coin]

Well, he is Crown Prince of Camelot. Though I'm not sure how much that means around here.
