Does anyone-- [When Merlin first appears in the screen, he speaks quickly, not even bothering with a greeting as he usually does. His gaze flickers to something off-screen constantly even as he speaks. To anyone observant, his face is practically pinched with worry.]

Does anyone know anything about the...the--[Here, Merlin breaks off, verbally ( Read more... )

When Merlin tries to adjust the pillow underneath him, he realises that 1. the bed has somehow become rather hard and 2. it's rather cold. Frowning, he rolls onto his side, and starts feeling around for his blanket and suddenly feels the bed drop away beneath him. With a gasp, he manages to catch the edge of the bed, very much awake now ( Read more... )

( That night, Merlin dreams. )

[As usual, Merlin's latest broadcast begins with silence. Wait...silence? Unusual as this is, it appears to be the case. Just visible in the frame of the video, Merlin stands completely still, his side facing the camera. His attention is focused on something off-screen, though the long, thick stick he holds in front of him trembles slightly in his ( Read more... )

Hey. [That's the quiet greeting that Johto gets when the feed begins. Merlin, sitting in some quiet grove of sorts, lets his head ball back against the tree behind him.] I'll be heading back to Goldenrod later today--who else is there right now?

I have it here. [A hand appears and you can see a possibly familiar sprig of mistletoe in the ( Read more... )

So...here's the FST that I promised people on plurk yesterday. While there are a few tracks dedicated to Route specifically, most of the songs can be applied to both Route and the Merlin canon. Anyway, the tracklist and download link are under the cut!

[So, Johto, you know how Canada's gone missing, and France has been wallowing in his room since then? Well, that means Merlin and the other members of France's traveling group are now left to fend for themselves when it comes to food ( Read more... )

Wan! [That is the sound any Johto trainers will hear if they're close enough to their Gear. Close examination of the screen reveals a wobbly video feed, with the occasional flash of blue paw] Cius, what did I tell you about playing with the Gear? [Suddenly, the video focuses on Merlin, who can't quite keep the amusement off his face, despite his ( Read more... )

[He realises he's probably taking a risk sending this out, considering what he and Ven just discussed, but the information he could get in exchange currently outweighs everything else at the moment]I think nearly everyone has noticed something odd happening in the Network. If you know someone who's gone missing over the past few days, could you ( Read more... )
