fast and loose role-play

free and easy love, that's how it's s'posed to be!

want to thread with one of mine but aren't in the same game? want me to do something with one of yours in bakerstreet? can't find a good recent bakerstreet meme but want to thread anyway? want to explore au scenarios together? annoyed that i dropped that character you really wanted a thread with?

well drop me a comment here with whatever scenario (or link to a meme) you want, specify the character you want, and we can thread the merry day away!

any active or retired character from the muse list with two stars or more is fair game!

homeless characters are slightly different in that most of them don't have journals or icons set up, so you may have to give me a day or so to do that. and in some cases, a couple more days to canon review if i haven't in a while.

Having magic doesn't make you qualified to rule.

[doneproperly]

Of course it doesn't. Not in and of itself. There are as many incompetent magicians as competent ones. But commoners can't protect themselves. Without us, the country would be defenceless. We work tirelessly and give our lives to keep the Empire safe. By nature, commoners are commoners because they lack the intelligence and application to use magic. Ergo, magicians are the better choice. A nation run by commoners would lead the Empire to ruin.

[sossery]

I don't believe this. It's Arthur with magic. What did I do to deserve this?

[doneproperly]

[I know you meant that as an insult, but it's terribly difficult for him not to take it as a compliment. He blinks and tries not to look too terribly chuffed.]

... You think I'm like King Arthur?

[sossery]

Yes.


You're both royal prats.

[doneproperly]

What-- the very cheek.

[sossery]

It's a honed skill.

[doneproperly]

... Hmph.

[He paces for a moment and tugs at one of his sleeve cuffs, then turns back to face Merlin]

Look, even if it were possible for a country to prosper under commoner rule, what you're proposing simply doesn't add up. If magic is outlawed in Camelot, how has there not been an outright rebellion from the existing magicians?

[sossery]

The people of the Old Religion aren't exactly organized. It was easy enough to destroy them.

[doneproperly]

That just-- that doesn't make any sense. I've never heard anything about this.

[sossery]

Guess you have the wrong history.

[doneproperly]

Not very likely.

More likely this is a fever dream of some sort and I will wake up very soon, stooped over my desk, half of my face smudged with ink.

[sossery]

It's less likely for some of us.

Seriously, though, I can't have a sorcerer in my room. You're going to have to leave.

[doneproperly]

Very well. Point me the way to London and I shall be on my way.

[sossery]

What?
