[static erupts across the system, quickly followed by the muffled sound of Arthur slapping the device into the palm of his hand.]

Useless magic box. What are all these noises about?

Magic box sire?

[oncefutureking]

[Colour Arthur surprised to hear that voice.]

Lancelot?

[tobeknighted]

Yes, and you have my apologies my lord, it wasn't my intention to surprise you.

[oncefutureking]

I'm afraid I have had nothing but surprises today. Your voice is certainly the lesser of many evils.

[starforaheart]

Magic is many things, but seldom useless.

[oncefutureking]

[Great, another voice he doesn't recognize.]

It's only use is to cause trouble.

[starforaheart]

Nonsense. I know many kingdoms who would seek to use the skill of witches and wizards to turn the tides of war. Simple housework with equally simple charms are harmless in comparison, don't you agree?

Meltdown.

[oncefutureking]

...

I beg your pardon?

[onewordfight]

Meltdown.

Tantrum.

[oncefutureking]

Right.

Have you anything substantial to say?

[andmagically]

A magic box?

[oncefutureking]

Yes, Merlin, that is what I said. Are you hard of hearing now as well?

[pictish]

I wonder much the same thing. Is that Camulodunum you speak of?

EEEEEEEEEEEEE

[oncefutureking]

Camulodunum? I have never heard of such a place. It must be a kingdom quite a distance from Camelot.

Hello sort-of hubby. <3

[pictish]

A Roman settlement. But the name sounds strikingly familiar, does it not?

hullo alternate queen of minnne~

[oncefutureking]

Yes, it does. That's rather strange.

Who are you?
