hi.
so this might be weird but if a guy w/ big ears comes up to you, will you pretend you know someone named robin and you told robin all about merlin & arthur?
please?

LATEST FUCKING REPLY IN THE UNIVERSE IM SORRY text

[dulac]

[Well, this has to be the strangest message he's ever gotten. Ever.]

And why would I be inclined to do that?

NAW MAN YOU'RE GOOD

[slingshots]

it'd be a real nice favor?

<3333

[dulac]

I would request that you explain in further detail why you need this favor.

[slingshots]

hey real quick:
is Lancelot a codename or a name-name?

[dulac]

[... What? Girl, you are confusing him so hard.]

It is my real name.

[slingshots]

right ok
annnnddd
you DO know merlin & arthur right?

[dulac]

I do.

However, I do not know a "Robin".

[slingshots]

well
now you do
hi i'm robin

[dulac]

[LMFAO. He just stares at this text ...]

You have still failed to explain your purpose here, Robin.

[slingshots]

well see i heard Merlin talking about his friends and was listening a little
just idle-like
so when he came over i already knew stuff about him but who wants to just out and "oh yeah well i was spying on you earlier so skip the intros"
so i said i heard it from Lancelot, and all you gotta do is back me up here

WAIT I FORGOT

[dulac]

[... Wait a second. Merlin, here?]

Merlin is here?

[slingshots]

apparently

[dulac]

[What the hell. How could he not sense Merlin, of all people? ... Still, this girl doesn't need to know about all that. There's a pause where he tries to figure out where he could locate Merlin.]

I have been led to believe knowledge of His Majesty's Camelot is common amongst many here.

[slingshots]

[ oh. well. that makes this considerably easier. ]

yeah it kinda is, a little

[dulac]

Would it be so farfetched to simply claim you have read these tales others have written?

[slingshots]

kinda wanted to avoid "hi i know all about you b/c legend"
but looks like you handled it pretty good...

[dulac]

[Not really, but ...]

It is certainly strange. But it seems a more logical explanation than me telling you anything.

[slingshots]

you and me met at this banquet & you told me about stuff, what's so illogical there?

[dulac]

The illogical part is me being willing to tell a stranger anything.

[slingshots]

i'm super charming & charismatic & won you over so you told me everything

[dulac]

No.

[LMFAO]

[slingshots]

come on, you haven't even met me, it could be true

[dulac]

If you wish your story to be credible, you would pick another, more social Knight.

Or perhaps you could try telling Merlin the truth.

[slingshots]

but i already told him, i can't change it now

[dulac]

There is nothing stopping you from explaining what you have just explained to me. That you did not want to frighten him with your knowledge of the legends.

[slingshots]

we already stopped talking by now
come on just help me out here

i'll buy you a coffee

[dulac]

No.

The things you may know are contrived and far from the truth as it is. Saying that I told you this fictional version makes no sense.

[slingshots]

you didn't tell me MUCH, just a couple names
you really gotta pull the bull card now, spud?
