New Muse

I'm sorry this isn't going your way--but you can't throw me into a dungeon of horrors and get upset when I try and save everyone. Even if it means jumping into an active volcano. I realize the plot point here wasn't of your doing-- but if I can save everyone pointless pain and suffering by sacrificing myself, then so be it.

I don't understand how you can claim to understand me and yet be so upset with my actions upon my arrival there?

Also, I require Merlin. Or Morgana. See what you can do.

How am I ever supposed to get dressed? These living arrangements wont work for me.

Good Lord. Do you ever whine. [ Says the pot calling the kettle black. ]

Excuse me?

Excuse me?You are the one who is acting like a clackdish.

Clackdish. Personally I like dollaphead better and you are not allowed to talk to me that way. Who are you anyway?

Honestly, you could wear both names.

[ hm. ]

I say the same of you -- I could have you thrown in the stocks for such disrespectful behavior to Her Royal Highness.

Really now? And who are you pretending to be today? I'm sure there's a kingdom or two out there who could have your head for impersonating royalty. I'm Prince Arthur of Camelot.

[ You are provoking the lioness. ] Impersonating royalty! How dare you! I am Princess Arthur of Camelot -- and I have (fortunately) never seen the likes of you in my lands.

......You're a girl.

[how's that for stating the obvious?]

[ A huff. ] Yes. I am a girl. On top of Impersonation of Royalty, shall I add Unforgivable Stupidity to the charges against you?

You need help getting dressed?

Why?

Because I'm the Crown Prince of Camelot. Do you have any idea how many layers and buttons and clasps there are?

Edited 2013-09-23 22:23 (UTC)

Kind of an idea. But why can't you just button and snap them yourself? It'd be cheaper than hiring people to do it, I bet.

You're missing the entire point of having a manservant. Probably because you've never had one.

Edited 2013-09-23 22:30 (UTC)

No, I haven't. And I don't think I'd want one either.

More for me then. You can't have mine--when I find him that is.

That's a weird way to talk about someone. Just because he works for you doesn't mean he belongs to you.

Okay sure, not in the same sense as a handbag maybe. But he is still my servant. Mine.

He's your employee. And you can't just chain him in your basement or something if he decides he doesn't want to work for you anymore.

[he sucks in a breath]

You can't... just... try to save everyone by yourself all the time. It doesn't work. Self-sacrifice is overrated, and most times there's a problem affecting that many people, it takes that many people to fix it. Trust me. It's not worth it, all you do add to the problem and wear yourself thin trying to be a hero.

[take it from the guy who got slashed up by a bunch of tiny people under a bowling alley and came to this revelation during a small freakout in an Arby's parking lot]

The problem seems pretty simple to me. [talks slowly so he can understand]

Problem: People are going to be hurt unless someone is sacrificed in the volcano.

Solution: I jump into the volcano.

See?

Edited 2013-09-23 22:27 (UTC)

See, no, you're not thinking critically about this. [he looks a little frustrated]

Talk to people. Figure out what the volcano wants. If there's a way to destroy or dismantle the volcano. If it can be reasoned with.

There's a myriad of option here that don't including going Lone Ranger on the problem.

It's a volcano you moron! I don't think it wants anything!

No wait...that doesn't make sense. Then why would jumping in there calm it down?
There's magic here.

Alright. I'll jump in only if I can't find the sorcerer responsible.

Good.

Now let everyone else know to be on the lookout for practitioners of magic with grudges. You can cover more ground that way.

[ her brows curve in mock indignation and dry amusement. ] You make it sound as though you expect me to dress you, dear brother.

Of course not, don't be ridiculous. I simply couldn't live without your lovely face and nail biting sarcasm.

Although the help would be appreciated.
