Right.

Now that I'm done gawking at this ... thing that allows me to communicate to other people. Somehow. I almost wish I could perform magic like this. I'm Merlin. Servant to King Arthur of Camelot. I'm also a sorcerer, something I couldn't tell other people before but that's changed. In any case, I won't bother you with the details. I was hoping someone might actually bother me with the details? Like what is going on? I'd also welcome any explanation as to how this room is lit without any torches. I certainly haven't mastered that kind of magic.

So if anyone would help me out, I'd be very grateful. I might even return the favour somehow. Just don't ask me for love spells and potions. I've had bad experiences with those and trust me, you really don't want to clean up afterwards. You really really don't.

That sounds strange and painful. Why do you want one again?

[badnewsboy]

I would look distinguished. Then I could cast it away in an act of defiance.

[maiditoutalive]

...is this a guy thing.

[badnewsboy]

Is there such a thing? Could I be doing a "guy thing"?

[maiditoutalive]

Yes there is such a thing and yes I suspect you are doing it right now.

[badnewsboy]

What kind of "guy thing"?

[maiditoutalive]

The kind where somehow the ability to grow ridiculous facial hair makes you more macho than other guys. More of a man. That kind of stupid posturing guy thing.

[badnewsboy]

Now I cannot unsee the mental image of my nonexistent beard.

[maiditoutalive]

That was the opposite of what I was hoping would happen.

[badnewsboy]

[maiditoutalive]

I'm really horrified right now that somebody put that much thought into facial hair.

[badnewsboy]

What of the "Duck Tail"?

[maiditoutalive]

I hope you're joking.

[badnewsboy]

Would you not kiss me with a scratchy beard?

[maiditoutalive]

No I don't think I'd give up kissing just for that. Unless it was really uncomfortable.

[badnewsboy]

Most of those options seem quite accommodating!

[maiditoutalive]

Are you trying to convince me this is a thing I should be on board for?

[badnewsboy]

Is it working?

[maiditoutalive]

I'm not sure yet.

[badnewsboy]

A demonstration may be in order.

[maiditoutalive]

I'll start steeling myself for the sight.

[badnewsboy]

Aye, you should put on what they call your "shocked face."

[maiditoutalive]

Got it in reserve, just in case.
