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. ]

follow for a follow?

[Yeah, that's it. Looks good if he has Merlin following him.]

How are you coping with the flu right now?

It really has been a year already, huh. Thank you. And it would have been great seeing those ears on him.

[Pictures or it didn't happen, Merlin! Also yay, telling Arthur to tell Merlin to do an AMA too actually worked?? Kinda. Well, at least he is doing this whether or not it has anything to do with Rin saying that to the king... But ~~greedy~~ first things first...]

So, when are we going to get even more magic types to ourselves?

You are one of the beings managing that barrier, correct?

Hello Merlin, I'm terribly sorry to hear that you're not feeling well.

[Sounds like she means that, too.]

At the risk of repeating myself, as I did ask Arthur something of a similar question-- but given the circumstances it does seem appropriate--

[Get it together, Jane!]

Would you object if I sent you some tea?

So if someone has actually mastered their magics, what else can we do if we're not getting more?

[Okay, Hawk's fibbing slightly and hasn't touched anything to do with Earth element, but he has indeed got enough skill with both magics that he's bored with it. Seriously sucks sometimes to master things so quickly even if magic took longer than most things.]

...Do you have pictures... of him with the donkey ears?

[Or any fanservicey recruitment posters? Both are good.]

Lord Merlin, sir, amazing wizard of wizards, I beseech thee...

[ This is how you speak to The Merlin, right???? ]

How do I make it so that I'm not separated from someone I love here? We have to go home to our worlds when all this is over, but like, what magic should I be learning so that I can travel between worlds and remember all of this? That sounds way bigger than healing or technomancy, but it's really what I want to do! Sire, your magicoliness!

[There's a positively furious-looking(?) little creature in front of the camera when it turns on, his tail puffed up (well, more than usual) and his ears arced.]

Merfou foouu! Fou, kyuu! [(Special translation: People don't want you around regardless of whether or not you’re sneezing on them! You're always gross! Get lost!)]

F-Fou, calm down. This isn't our Merlin, so shouldn't you give him the benefit of the doubt? Fou fouu! [(Special translation: All Merlins are scumbags!!)]

... [Sigh. Fou is carefully lifted out of the way, revealing young Miss Kyrielight looking very apologetic. He crawls onto her shoulder and scowls.] It’s nice to meet you, sir. I'm terribly sorry about him, and that you're feeling under the weather. I do have a question, though it's mostly for my own curiosity. You’re surely one of the foremost authorities on magic in this world, right? Everyone is assigned types of magic when they arrive here... is that random, or is there some system to it?

[The bow Walter extends is markedly shorter than the way he has carried himself in response to King Arthur's transmissions, but he does so with the intention of conveying respect.]

I... admit I do not quite know how to address you, Sir. However, I do have something weighing on my mind.

Do you know anything of the background or nature of the giant stone figure that now rests in the Forest of the Felled? I have journeyed to the Archivist's library within the Forest of the Fisher King to find out what I can, but... anything, anything at all you may know and would be willing to share, I would like to know.
