mun is laughing over wikipedia

[oforkney]

"According to some legends, he would have been the true and rightful heir to the throne of Camelot, after the reign of King Arthur."

I can't decide if I truly like the sound of that. No really, mun, let's discuss this in all seriousness. Do I want to look over trade agreements and deal with the disgruntled populace all day?

Then again, King of All England does have a nice ring to it.

If you'd expect me to start calling you 'my lord' then you'll be out of luck.

[oforkney]

Don't be like that, Leon! You wouldn't undermine your king's authority on purpose? That would be treason.

[leonsurvivor]

Last I inquired, Gwaine, you're not likely to become king at any point, no matter what you might have read somewhere, so I beliee myself to be safe.

[oforkney]

Here I thought we were playing a rousing</> game of What If. You are a terrible sport, sir.

[leonsurvivor]

If we're playing that game then I'm just as likely to become king as you are.

UGH You did not see my html fail /)_(\

[oforkney]

But I'm the one who's sort of related to Arthur in that imagined universe. Stop stealing my thunder!

I SAW EVERYTHING /dramatic chipmunk

[leonsurvivor]

Well I don't even exist in that universe so you can't fault me trying to steal a little glory.

NOOOOoooooOoooooOoo /dramatically fades away into the distance

[oforkney]

I'm sure you exist there in some form or another. P'raps Arthur has a favorite horse.

[spellcasted]

The once and future king... Gwaine. Doesn't quite have the same ring, now, does it?

[oforkney]

Repeat it to yourself over a few tankards of ale - I promise you, it will sing like poetry.

[youwillgotohell]

Such a shame the timing didn't work out.

You'd have been easier to oust.

[oforkney]

You are such a delightful ray of sunshine, Morgana. Given your taste for power I suppose you would have enjoyed our time together more if you were torturing a king.

I know you and Arthur have this antagonism thing going on but you couldn't spare a little familial affection for me? In that particular universe I'm somehing like your nephew.

[youwillgotohell]

It does have a nice ring to it.

[scoff!!] Something like. Don't tell me you're meant to be Morgause' son.

[oforkney]

[knowing grin] I'll bet it does.

One of her sons. Apparently Mordred gets to be my kid brother - and your favorite, I suppose.

[youwillgotohell]

It seems some things must translate. Though I'm afraid I don't have any familial affection to spare.

[oforkney]

Well being that I've not had family to care for for quite some time now, you'll have to deal with mine... Auntie.

[youwillgotohell]

Oh, absolutely not.

[oforkney]

Don't be a spoilsport, Leon's already got that covered. Besides, I should say that being related to me is infintely better to being related to Arthur.

[ygraine]

King?! Who would wish for such a life?

[oforkney]

Why do you ask?

[ygraine]

My father is a prince and we so hardly get to see him. I could only imagine how oft you would be home with your family.

[oforkney]

Oh well I don't think it'll be a problem for me then. My family is used to not seeing me around. [he shrugs] Sorry to hear about your pa though. You must miss him terribly, yeah?

[ygraine]

He does great things and he loves us all when he is home.

[Ygraine does miss their father terribly when he was on campaigns but Tristan and Agravaine keep her company, as does her time with their mother]

And why is your family not used to seeing you around?

[oforkney]

That sounds nice.

[he used o think of his own father that way, back when things were good]

After my father passed, I took to traveling like a fish takes to water. Ma and my sister are generally alright with not having any men around the house though. The women in my family are quite independent.

[ygraine]

And how far have you reached?
