[Merlin's sitting at the foot of a bed, a large laundry basket beside him. The actual laundry is folded beside it so that the basket can instead hold a duck - one of Freya's, looked after by him until she's able to do it herself ( Read more... )

Maj, magic does not exist.

[Ax states this with certainty, then reconsiders, given his circumstances.]

At least, it does not exist in my world.

As for monsters, mon-ster-zuh, the worst, worr-stuh, I have known is not evil so much for his form, but for what he has done. One can be born, born-nuh, with natural weapons that appear frightening-ing, but it is what one does with them that matt, matters.

[voice] pratservant July 9 2011, 03:04:35 UTC

[He's a little difficult to follow. But Merlin listens carefully, and in the end, understands.]

I agree. It isn't what you are that makes you a monster. We can't always help that. It's what you do.

Is there really no magic where you're from?

[voice] moarnomsplz July 9 2011, 05:28:01 UTC

There is not. But I am aware that some teck, technology might seem like magic to people unfamiliar with it.

What are serr-kets and cat thing, thing-ees?

[voice] pratservant July 9 2011, 20:48:51 UTC

Oh, technology is definitely magic to me. I'd probably be hanged just for having one of these Forges back home.

[Among other reasons.]

Serkets are like giant scorpions. Do you have those?

[voice | private] moarnomsplz July 10 2011, 03:06:40 UTC

I have not encountered them. I have been told my usual form is something like a scorpion, scor-pi-on. Perhaps it is the tail. But I do not think I am frightening-ing.

Where is it that you come from? You seem quite, kwi-tuh, comfortable with technology now.

[voice | private] pratservant July 10 2011, 03:44:10 UTC

Usual form? You mean to say you have more than one?

Well, I wouldn't say I'm comfortable exactly. But I'm a few months removed from Camelot. Oh, that's where I'm from.

[voice | private] moarnomsplz July 10 2011, 04:01:16 UTC

I have not heard of a planet called Camelot, kam-eh-lott.

And I do not have more than one, but something-ing about this place has changed the rules that usually apply. It is probably fuh, fallacious to attribute desires to it, but still, I feel it wants me to appear human.

[voice | private] pratservant July 10 2011, 04:32:05 UTC

It's more a kingdom really.

That tends to happen here. It's the magic of this place. But...you say that it wants you to appear human. What are you if not human?

[voice | private] moarnomsplz July 10 2011, 23:01:36 UTC

Oh. A country. I have read about those in the en-sigh, encyclopedia. Pee-dee-a. Are the people there very superstitious, shus?

And I am an alien.

[voice | private] pratservant July 11 2011, 01:39:41 UTC

More afraid than anything.

[So far he's met shinigami and demon hunters and gods, but this is the first time for...]

Alien?

[voice | private] moarnomsplz July 11 2011, 04:24:12 UTC

Extra-terrestrial, tree-al? Not from Earth.

Which mean-zuh that I have some idea how humans can react to things, ings, with which they are unfamiliar.

[voice | private] pratservant July 11 2011, 04:50:43 UTC

Right. So you're different too.

[That much, Merlin can understand.]

Why did you leave your home?

By the way, I'm Merlin

[voice | private] moarnomsplz July 12 2011, 04:16:16 UTC

My name is Aximili. Most people, peep-ull, call me Ax.

I left my home because... [A short laugh, more self-deprecating than anything else.] I wished, wish-duh, to be a great hero like my brother. It has not worked out the way I ex, expected.

How are you diff, different?

[voice | private] pratservant July 12 2011, 15:06:22 UTC

Ax.

[He says the name pleasantly, like a greeting.]

I'm sure you have a very important destiny all your own.

[Merlin draws a breath.]

I was born different. With...gifts, I suppose. But I can't let anyone know that I have them there.

[voice | private] moarnomsplz July 13 2011, 03:05:33 UTC

I unn, understand that. I have to stay hidden from my enemies on Earth, and my human-- [It is a lapse, but it does not matter, not after he has already admitted he is not human.] --my friends cannot let it be known what powers they have.

[Merlin's words echo Verity's, and Ax is still skeptical, but it does seem to be the case that the people here are not usually ordinary.]

It is possible that I will go on to do things, ings, I cannot yet imagine. I hope this is true.

What are your abilities, tees, if you do not mind my asking-ing?

[voice | private] pratservant July 13 2011, 22:48:07 UTC

Oh, I know what it is to have to have to hide, to not be able to be honest with your friends.

[Their situations sound pretty similar, actually. Merlin hesitates for only a moment before continuing.]

I'm not sure you'll believe me, but...I have magic.
