Cassandra is going to have to step on 8-Ball again at this rate, its ego is getting too big.

​I think the latest Q & A about the Magic 8-Ball kinks indicates that's probably the last thing she should be doing now...

[oneknightstand-if]

I... A few days ago, I sent an ask saying I thought Adrian was Lancelot... But today I found out some information about Adrian and did some research on Google... And now I'm completely torn between him being Lancelot or Mordred (50% vs 50%). The information I found on Google gave me an existential crisis and my world changed. I'm going to replay the demo (when version 0.24 is released), read the entire Merlin guide, read some books about King Arthur, and do some internet research... When I'm done, I'll send a long ask about my theories.

Maybe Adrian hates Merlin and prophecies because... In his past life (as Lancelot or Mordred makes sense) Merlin predicted he would bring ruin to Arthur... Maybe Adrian blames Merlin for thinking that influenced him to follow a path that really did bring ruin to Arthur 👁️👁️👁️ Adrian regretted the path he followed in his past life and that's what transformed him into the depressed boy we love. I also think that's why he has a prejudice against my cuckoo changeling's prophetic magic ball. :)

Don't worry, Adrian, I still love you. 💟

Merlin: (۶•̀ᴗ•́)۶ Yes, read Merlin's Guide to Arthurian Lore.

Adrian: . . . . . (about having a deep-seated prejudice against the Magic 8 Ball)

Meanwhile, I don't think some players will ever forgive Adrian for potentially being Mordred, since they wanted MC to be Mordred!

All the theorycrafters shall be awaiting your addition!

As suggested by the Greater Circle and voted on by the Greater/Lesser Circle tiers, it's the June Question & Answer session, coming in at 3927 words. And today's guest star of the session is... not the Magic 8-Ball this time (even though it's once more here), but Sir Not Appearing in This Q&A himself, Adrian!

Magic 8-Ball:

Merlin once more sits at center stage, clutching the aforementioned Magic 8-Ball in hand with a dolorously sighing Adrian to their right and a scribbling Cassandra to their left. Percy has reclaimed his rocking horse to the further right, the rider bedecked in a full diving suit, while the horse is wearing a floatie ring. A raccoon industrially chewing on a corncob is seated behind him.

Adrian takes one look at the rocking pair and sighs even harder.

Adrian: I don't even wanna know what's going on in that branch of the story.

Random Audience Member: Yeah, about that... how good are you at jumping between glass display cases?

Percy: Always knew we should’ve taken that left turn at Albuquerque.

Adrian: *sighs even harder*

Merlin: I see that someone's bender around the world has finally come to its inevitable end, as all good things must eventually.

Adrian: I'm just surprised it took this long before I got recalled back.

Cassandra: *squinting over at Percy and taking even more notes* Unfortunately, before my turn as babysitter.

Merlin: And I also see that we are a rather small contingent on stage this time.

Cassandra: That's right. Unlike you—

Merlin: ଘ(੭ˊ꒳​ˋ)੭✧

Cassandra: —everyone else left backstage doesn't want to be here either, or has already been on-stage quite a bit lately.

Gwen: *off-stage* Tee hee.

This Q & A session stars Adrian, Percy, Cassandra, the Magic 8-Ball, and eternally Merlin. Available on my Patreon for a while now.

has… has merlin always been depicted in the qnas as always standing? i’ve always pictured them as sitting granted i seldom read the qnas in their entirety

No, Merlin started off standing in that particular Q&A session because the Magic 8-Ball had stolen their seat...

As suggested by the Greater Circle and voted on by the Greater/Lesser Circle tiers, it's the May Question & Answer session, coming in at 3777 words. And today's guest star of the session is once more... the Magic 8-Ball!

Magic 8-Ball:

Merlin once more sits at center stage, the Magic 8-Ball rattling around in their hand, with Arthur and Gwen seated to their immediate right and a scribbling Cassandra seated to their left. Percy's empty rocking horse is currently wearing a 'Spicy Sexy Mama' shirt.

Merlin: *shaking the grand, glorious Magic 8-Ball* Ha! Failed to beat me to the seat of honor this time, did you?

Arthur: That contraption certainly appears to hold the current favor of the audience. Dare I ask precisely how long you have been camping here to attain that seat, Merlin?

Merlin: Pish posh, tis a current fad... leastwise before Pestilence sent all scuttling away into their isolation. Modern mortal society lines up for days in advance to secure the best seats! The best tickets! The primest of random mechanical doodads, each exactly the same as the next!

Arthur: While I was always a proponent for equality amongst the Round Table, this speaks well for the existence of assigned seats.

Gwen: *sitting to Arthur's right* Heh heh... Meanwhile, Adrian's still on his bender around the world, leaving his seat open for the taking!

( •̀ ᴗ •́ )و ̑̑

Broderick: *off-stage* That fuckass took Lorelei this time!

Cassandra: *looking up from her notes It was supposed to be me this time, but I was called back by a certain question. flips through her notepad's pages* At least it wasn't about my socks.

Broderick: *off-stage, muttering imprecations*

Percy: *off-stage* Sus.

And it's time for the first question of this session... which is about Cassandra's socks!

Arthur: Modern man seems to have a strange fixation on hosen and stockings.

Magic 8-Ball:

Gwen: No feet fetish back then, huh?

Merlin: Oh no, quite the opposite. Without all the conveniences and distractions so prevalent in current times, people had naught to consume their attention but—

Cassandra: *smiles, puts down her notebook, and begins reaching for her gun*

This Q & A session stars Arthur, Gwen, Cassandra, the Magic 8-Ball, and eternally Merlin. Available on my Patreon for a while now.
