i; golden fleece [ The earlier network info post was enough competency and seriousness from Merlin for the moment. Instead, it is now time for him to be an utter Clown with a capital C.
Around town is Merlin once more, not scrounging for scraps as one might do, but quite literally just standing defensively, short sword drawn in one hand and staff in the other, brandishing the former to protect himself from a particularly strong and stubbornXiezhai that stares at the mage with fury and rancor in its beady, goat-y eyes, a bit of a distance away, clearly ready to charge at him.
As soon as he spots any non-demonic movement in the corner of his eye, he calls out: ]
Hey! Mind lending a hand!? Looks like this one didn't get the memo about today being an off day, and woke up and chose violence instead!
ii; the sun in the abyss [ True to his word, Merlin has taken it upon himself to keep an eye on the darkness on the east side of the town, taking pictures of the void's current boundaries with his COMP from a couple of key spots in town, and carving markings on nearby trees with his sword to indicate the positions from which he took said pictures of record. All from a safe distance, of course.
However, whenever he accidentally oversteps, feels the call of the void creeping up, the tendrils of malice curling around his thoughts, the mage makes the conscious effort to think of the one thing that has always been a warm hand on his shoulder, the one thing that has always served as a shining star for him amidst a raging storm of malice. (Artoria. It's Artoria. It's always Artoria.)
But he knows that that doesn't apply for everyone, and 99.9% of people shouldn't be wandering anywhere near holes in the world anyway!
To anyone who may have wandered to the eastern outskirts of town, intentionally (why would anyone want to check out the Void™ in person after he specifically warned people not to? Who knows?) or not (it's an easy thing to do, to accidentally lose one's way in a place like this), Merlin approaches with a calm but surprisingly serious expression on his face. ]
...You shouldn't wander any further than this, now.
B - power plant;
[ Hanging out near the entrance, under the nearest covering/shelter from the rain (blood or not), is Merlin, honestly just vibing there. When he hears footsteps, the approach of another, he looks up from casually browsing his COMP wrapped around his wrist. ]
Oh, did you want to check this place out too? Two heads are better than one... I'm just saying!
[ An easygoing smile, a nudging wink. He's been waiting for someone else to come along all this time because, well, he doesn't want to head in all alone... ]
C - school;
[ Literally the same exact prompt as the power plant one above, just in a different place... Yeah... ]
wildcard;
[ ooc: Just trying to keep the sheep murder/golden fleece prompt to 1 tag-in, for continuity's sake, but aside from that, anything goes!
Merlin can be found usually hanging out near or inside the church otherwise, hood up as always, when he's not wandering around and about the town in general. He's never been happier than today that his robes are waterproof. ]
