video 🧙 npc: Merlin

[isleofnpcs]

Good day, Otherworlders. Merlin here and I decided to do an AMA because I'm currently stuck indoors, sick with this magical flu. You don't want me to go around sneezing on people, so I have to stay at home.

[He looks amused.]

... though you should have seen the donkey ears I accidentally and temporarily grew on Arthur!

[But anyway, onto the actual business, right?]

So, all questions are fair game, but I reserve the right to not answer if I feel like it. Ask me what has been burning in your mind.


Oh and happy anniversary to those who arrived around a year ago!


[ OOC NOTE: Merlin will reply to new top-level comments posted before the November 15th in order to maintain feasibility for mod replies. Threads posted 11 / 16 or later will not be responded to. Any threads started before that time may be continued after that, but may be cut short due to this being an AMA-style post. Unlike Arthur last month, Merlin is more likely to answer to troll-y posts with trolls of his own, but those may be even more short-lived. ]

Alas, I didn't have my phone with me at the time. But you've seen Arthur. Maybe you can draw him with those or ask someone to do it for you.

[resistetmords]

Ah~, oh well. I suppose I could use photoshop too. If that exists here.

Anyway, do you happen to know a recipe for a sleeping potion?

[Got any DIY recipes to share, girlfriend?]

[isleofnpcs]

Actually, you just gave me an idea. If you go to insta you can see a "Royal Donkey" filter. If you point it at a picture of Arthur, it should work too... but you can also get cute donkey ears on yourself. Remember to tag me if you do~ But there is definitely a version of photoshop.

[How do you think people would cope as inta influencers if they didn't have photoshop.]

Sleeping potion, huh? There are some pretty good store made ones, since I don't usually have time to brew my own ones. Though it also depends on what you want to use it for.

[resistetmords]

[Time to reenact "The Sword in The Stone"!]

Now that would be cute~! I think I will have to try that-- Oh, maybe with cat or dog ears instead! I bet he'd look really cute as a squirrel. I'll be sure to remember to send you the pictures~.

[This is a good point! How does one make a good thumbnail without photoshop?]

Well yes, but I'm probably going to need a lot of it. I was thinking of turning it into a gas to use against large monsters. Or maybe make a nice, chocolate nightcap for those nights where you can't sleep. The last one would probably sell better.

[isleofnpcs]

Go wild with your imagination.

[It's not like it's a treason to photoshop animal ears on the King.]

Hmm. I would have to direct you to the shops around here. Whenever I do alchemy I just wing it and never use a recipe. But I do agree that a nightcap sleeping potion would be a fantastic item.

[resistetmords]

Oh, I will~!

[Treason? More like recruitment or propaganda for potential Knights! "Your Squirrel King needs you now! Become a knight today!" She can see it already.]

Ah, well it was worth a shot, I suppose. Thank you any, Mr. Merlin!

[isleofnpcs]

Best of luck on your endeavours.
