on her odd similarities to my primary character

[ex_charmer805]

Don't compare me to your precious Arthur — he has all his mother's weakness and his father's blind arrogance. I had him at the point of my sword, and I will hold him so again, if that is what is required of me.

Well may you call me arrogant, but that would imply that these beliefs are not founded in my skill. I have worked longer and harder than you could even hope to imagine: to master magic and the sword, and the desires of men's hearts, and all this and more I will put to work for you if you will give me what it is I want.

Why, what is that, you ask? A place to call my own. A chance to see my dear sister once more. A life in a world free of Pendragons and free for the magic of the land to thrive and prosper. A second chance from beyond the veil between life and death.

And should you not be timely in choosing a game to satisfy me? Perhaps I'll need to grow a little more threatening.

That threat would be a bit more threatening if you could follow up on it.

[ex_charmer805]

I haven't begun to threaten anyone — yet.

Hope she has fun talking to a crazy god xD

[cheese_for_everyone]

A threat to be threatening is still a threat even if you aren't a threat to your mundane to make such a threat.

she may!!

[ex_charmer805]

Am I not? My power stretches far beyond the realms of what men know. Who is to say I cannot reach her too? I will choke off her laughter at its source.

Here, Morgause, have a kid who semi-unwillingly got recruited by Arthur

[sixthanimorph]

Sounds like you've, uh... got a beef with this Arthur guy. He's not anyone important, is he?

[She's probably talking about a different guy. Arthur's a common name, right?]

omg david!! it's been a long time since i read his canon.

[ex_charmer805]

Arthur Pendragon, son of Uther Pendragon, heir to the throne of Camelot. There are prophecies that speak of him. And yet in the end, he is but a mortal man as any other.

Nostaglia strikes! It's super effective! 8D

[sixthanimorph]

... yeeeeah, I was kinda worried that'd be him. He doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut.

[See below for exhibit A.]

my childhood has fainted!!

[ex_charmer805]

It is not his words I find offensive.

Guess I'd better not tell you about the shiny new re-releases then! ;)

[sixthanimorph]

Is it his smell that offends you? Because he can get pretty ripe sometimes.

[ex_charmer805]

His and his family's injustices to the people of Camelot — though I would not say that he smells particularly sweet. False fruit rarely does.

[sixthanimorph]

So who are you then? I don't think he's ever mentioned you before.

[ex_charmer805]

I am Morgause, and I am nothing less than the the trueborn daughter of his half-sister's mother, High Priestess of the Old Religion, and his downfall.

[sixthanimorph]

Oh, I get it. You're aiming to overthrow him, right?

[ex_charmer805]

I am no Pendragon, and it is not my destiny to sit the throne of Camelot. But I wish to see Morgana take and hold it, and Uther Pendragon's magic-hating reign broken — I gave my life in hope of reaching that end.

[sixthanimorph]

You'd rather be the power behind the throne, huh? And I'm guessing you and this Morgana person both use magic. What can you do with it?

[ex_charmer805]

Oh, everything.

[sixthanimorph]

Everything, huh? The magicians I've known were a little more limited.

[onceandfutureprat]

Right, threatening them makes you clearly better than me. [Feel the sarcasm, feel it :|]

sorry about her.

[ex_charmer805]

You will recognize when I am threatening someone, Arthur Pendragon. You will taste the salt of your own tears and recognize your own death before you. Twice, I have brought you to your knees and spared you. There will not be a third time.

[onceandfutureprat]

We do agree on something then. I don't plan on letting you escape with your life either.

[ex_charmer805]

Of course not. You are as blind as your father.

[onceandfutureprat]

Not because of your magic but for everything else.

[ex_charmer805]

Everything I have done, I have done for the good of the land. That you do not see that is only one more reason why you are unfit to sit that throne.

skjdfghd a Morgause <3333

[youwillgotohell]

[These are all the things Morgana admires in you, Morgause, it's why she'd follow you just about anywhere.]

You are nothing like Arthur.

[ex_charmer805]

Come now, sister, that's not quite true.

We're both blonde.

[youwillgotohell]

And when he's dead, only you will be.

I have missed you, sister.

[ex_charmer805]

And I, you. Tell me how you fare.

[youwillgotohell]

[Aaand the bitterness.] I've been condemned to a ship of the damned. My magic was returned to me, though I'm assure it can just as easily be taken again. I am surrounded by enemies, Morgause. I would give anything to have someone I trust as well as you by my side.

Mind a bit of telepathy?

[adhmharaighe]

You had Arthur Pendragon at your sword, but did not strike?

I LOVE TELEPATHY. and mordred. and bee. :3

[ex_charmer805]

There were greater things at stake. The chance to change his mind about the evil beliefs his father has instilled in him.

o///o <3

[adhmharaighe]

And did you change his mind?

[ex_charmer805]

It seems not. Uther Pendragon's ability to conceal his lies is near unparallelled. Arthur will never see the truth, which is why next time, I shall not stay my hand.
