these guys show up to the feast, drink your mulled wine, slap your squire's ass and call your liege a knave, wyd ?

[roundtabletexts]

I guess we're doing this.

[roundtabletexts]

Oh fuck! Oh dear!

The Substack relaunch begins TODAY.

[roundtabletexts]

I guess we're doing this.

Hey, rising from the ether here to say I am still working on this but it’s slow going.

How would y’all feel if I started a Substack to repost the archive while I’m trying to get my shot together? I figure by the time we make it to the end of what I’ve written so far I’ll have some new content (which would be posted here as well as on Substack once we get to that point).

Yes/no?

[roundtabletexts]

Still alive! Shit has leveled out I’m just having a hell of a time trying to get back in the zone to write (anything, but particularly RTT). I am going to keep doing this, though.

Mini-Hiatus

My buffer ran out, so I wanted to let everyone know there probably won’t be any updates this week.  (I had to go to the emergency room Friday night for an allergy/asthma attack and I’m still pretty drained.)

Aiming to start posting again by October 27th.

[roundtabletexts]

Okay, so I might’ve been a bit optimistic last week.

I’m doing way better and have new meds to prevent an encore, but I’ve also worked a shit ton this past week and haven’t recouped my energy.  I’d like to actually have fun and write a decent arc and not just put out slapdash crap.

I will try and get started again soon.

Thanks for your patience and all the well-wishes!

Galahad: I don't understand why it takes three of us to bring your brother and cousin a change of clothes.

Mordred: Kay, Agravaine and Gawain had to come get us from that camping trip.

Galahad: And you've resented it ever since.

Mordred: Payback's a bitch. Besides, we needed to bring tack. Do you know what happened the last time Gringolet lost his bridle?

Galahad: Are you going to tell me or am I supposed to guess?

Mordred: I'd hate to spoil the surprise.

[roundtabletexts]

Agravaine: Hey, do you and Galahad want to run an errand with me?

Mordred: Do we? What's the errand.

Agravaine: Aunt Morgan wants us to go rescue Gawain and Ywaine.

Mordred: We're in.

Mordred: What are we rescuing them from?

Agravaine: All I know is we're supposed to bring a change of clothes for the idiots and new tack for their horses.

Mordred: There's no way this isn't massively embarrassing.

Agravaine: So you'll be along shortly?

Mordred: We'll meet you in the stables.

[roundtabletexts]

Ywaine: Uh... do you think you could come get me?

Gawain: You got lost?

Ywaine: Not exactly.

Gawain: Do you need rescued?

Ywaine: Please don't make this harder than it has to be.

Gawain: Fine. I'm on my way.

[roundtabletexts]

Gawain: Where did you go?

Ywaine: Uh, just went to get something to eat.

Gawain: You left me alone!

Ywaine: It was broad daylight.

Gawain: I wasn't paying attention.

Ywaine: That doesn't make you less dangerous, and anyway Gringolet was guarding you.

Gawain: You left a horse in charge.

Ywaine: I have never seen a horse with teeth like that.

[roundtabletexts]

Ywaine: Help! I think I broke Gawain!

Agravaine: What did you do?

Ywaine: I don't know! He won't talk to me.

Agravaine: He's fine.

Ywaine: He hasn't moved in HOURS!

Agravaine: He's just brooding.

Ywaine: That doesn't seem right.

Agravaine: Yeah, well, it's within normal parameters. Let me know if he doesn't take care of Gringolet.

Ywaine: Why? Is that a sign?

Agravaine: A sign you should run before you get eaten, yes.

Ywaine: I should've stayed in Camelot.

Agravaine: Roadtrips with Gawain don't tend to go according to plan.

[roundtabletexts]

Gawain: We found three separate bandit camps and dispersed them.

Agravaine: Okay.

Gawain: Thus rescuing two villages.

Agravaine: Cool.

Gawain: Are you mocking me?

Agravaine: Why would I do that?

Gawain: Because I didn't set out to rescue the villagers, I just stumbled across them while running away from an emotional confrontation.

Agravaine: I didn't say that.

Gawain: You didn't have to.

Agravaine: Because your guilty conscious beat me to it?

[roundtabletexts]

Agravaine: What the hell?

Gawain: What?

Agravaine: We've talked about the whole running away thing.

Gawain: I'm not running away from anything.

Agravaine: Then what are you doing?

Gawain: Running toward something.

Agravaine: And that something is?

Agravaine: I'm waiting.

Gawain: Shut up.

Agravaine: You know there are people who think talking about their feelings is easier than running off to fight monsters and bandits.

Gawain: I don't believe it.

[roundtabletexts]

Kay: Your kid just rode off.

Morgan: He's a knight. It's what they do.

Kay: Yeah, but he's with Gawain.

Morgan: Why?

Kay: I dunno, but the last time Gawain rode off with a kid we got Gaheris back.

Morgan: Because he was so pleasant prior?

Kay: I mean...

Morgan: Are you just trying to get me to spy on them for you? Because all you have to do is ask.

Kay: Would you?

Morgan: I've been scrying them since you told me they went off together.

[roundtabletexts]

Ywaine: Hey, you fucked up a promise once. How did you recover from it?

Gawain: Who are you again?

Ywaine: Your cousin Ywaine? Please don't ignore me! It's bad enough Gareth and Mordred went to look at Gaheris's new puppies without me.

Gawain: Wait, there's a new litter?

Gawain: And they didn't invite me?!

Ywaine: They didn't invite me either.

Gawain: I thought you were allergic.

Ywaine: I thought you were above feeling left out.

Gawain: Touche.

[roundtabletexts]

Gareth: Want to check out the new litter of puppies?

Mordred: Have you forgotten the scars on my legs and your arms?

Gareth: Lyonesse and Lynette will be there.

Mordred: In that case, I'm in.

Gareth: Bring Galahad.

Mordred: Obviously I am bringing my boyfriend to look at puppies.
