Good day.

I've been told there was, at some point, an audience with this elusive King Arthur character. Kindly advise me on how to secure another one of those, be it public or private, as there are rather important questions that most folk I've met at the moment have yet to answer sufficiently.

That said, has going along with every other claim brought forth for the state of things here been going well for you "veteran" outsiders? Surely I am not alone in harboring a number of doubts about this setup.

I hope that you are able to get some more answers from those in charge, whether it's King Arthur, or Merlin or Morganna. I only just got here, but I have many complaints and doubts about what they have done to us so far.

[sighsheavily]

Hope is only as useful as the actions they inspire; are you not going to make some effort to secure those answers, as well?

[recommendations]

Right now, I'm more concerned with making sure that my friends who arrived here with me are safe. But once we all find our feet again, then I would like to pursue answers.

[sighsheavily]

Peculiar. What are the odds of so many natives of the same realm arriving? The impression I initially received was that I would find myself a sole member of my land...or at the most, one of two or three.

(You have no obligation to answer that; it was mostly rhetorical. Just one more to the list for someone who can answer.)

[recommendations]

That's alright. You're certainly not the only one wondering something like that. You would think, with all these different worlds or realities or times to take people from, why do some worlds seem to be more... "popular," for lack of a better term, than others?

[sighsheavily]

Would I think what of it? I'm sure I could conjure up a number of speculations, but they remain simply that. That won't do.

Now, should the key to receiving face-time with this busy ruler involve kicking up a fuss, I suppose I'll simply have to do so in my way; I'd rather not, but I have only so much patience for ambiguity that effects me on such a grand scale.

[recommendations]

[ Oh.

Hm...

Momo has never been much of one for kicking up fusses. She likes to work within the system whenever possible. It's clear that whoever 'naurfin' is, they feel differently. ]

Well, good luck with that. But please, do be careful.

"Audience" makes it sound so formal... It was really just an online Q&A. Here. On the network.

Merlin was the guy who persuaded him to set it up in the first place, so I think he'd be the guy to pester if you want another one to happen.

[sighsheavily]

The court wizard, yes? Or perhaps a man of many hats, if he is advising on more than spellcraft.
Whatever the case, would this Merlin be more social or easily accessible, then?

[birdflipping]

Haven't tried contacting him myself, but I've seen him on the network. Try these.

[Nero attaches a link to Merlin's AOL account, and Arthur's for good measure.]

If all else fails and they ignore you, you could go for the old-fashioned audience route. Or wait for Merlin to do his own AMA.

[sighsheavily]

You are very helpful, I thank you.

Waiting is not impossible, but hardly ideal. Are others truly so convinced their worlds are in some dire peril without firsthand proof? Or simply do not care? That is possible, but hardly a prerequisite for being here.

[birdflipping]

Can't speak for the others, but personally, I'd rather do what I can for now rather than just wait for proof. My world's too important to me to do nothing.

Arthur mentioned something about getting Excalibur back. Long story short, if we help him do that, it'd help fix things. Plus, it'd go a long way toward proving whether he's telling the truth or not.

[sighsheavily]

Ye gods.

May I ask: Would the tales of King Arthur and Excalibur have been a thing you knew in your own realm already, or is this an entirely new acquaintance you're making?

Oh, you're definitely not alone.

But I'm not gonna bother wasting time trying to get an audience with the king. For now, I'm gonna see if I can talk to the Lady in the lake that they keep dumping people in.

My big opening question? Are you ready for it?

'Why?' I'd get it if it were summer but it's not.

[sighsheavily]

[gods...........and THAT username??? gods.]

You really think it a waste? Truly?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

[Wow what's wrong with his username, Lady Ardenbury]

If the king granted one of us an audience, we'd all be clamoring for one right now and that doesn't solve anything and risks the chance of information being interpreted differently from person to person. Nothing gets out of hand faster than information that has to pass through several people. Before everyone knows it, we're all hearing different things because we all 'heard' things differently from the king.

If His Majesty wants to curtail any of that, he'd address us all in an open forum. He did something like that recently.

For now, it's probably best to just...adjust.

[sighsheavily]

[it's STUPID!!!]

That implies the "one" chosen would be disseminating the results so loosely.

His Majesty's wants are not my concern at the moment, because his wants are clearly being met to their highest possible degree right now. And I'll adjust much easier with some proper, first-hand information.

As you said: information passing through several people, as it will be very likely to do here, is barely useful for more than gossip and speculation.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

That's a fair assessment but then what makes you the ideal candidate to control the flow of information.

After all, you've been so forthcoming already, Lady Ardenbury.

[Do you see that shade? Do you see it being thrown? Don't you want to just punch him in his smug face with a fireball?]

[sighsheavily]

[SHE SEES IT AND DOESN'T MISS A BEAT:] I beg your pardon? Who are you referring to?

[irritated]

King Arthur was pretty useless in answering anything I wanted to know so good luck.

[sighsheavily]

How unfortunate.

Would you be able to tell me what it was that you asked about?

[irritated]

i come here from a different world that isn't my home either. i was SUPPOSED to be sent home but i came here instead. i wanted to know if he knew if us being here had anything to do with that because i've met a lot of people like me? like all my friends.

guy said he couldn't know since he didn't get me. some king.

[He's no king of Hikaru's so he's not going to bother.]

[sighsheavily]

I see. That just makes my faith in the whole scenario I have been presented with that much shakier.

Of course, that could just be proof of the scope of the problem; I can't fault a person in being overwhelmed with a situation they simply have no understanding of and is only focused on damage control.

[irritated]

some damage control. couldn't even get me a yubari king.

but yeah good point. the guy is way over his head i think. hopefully nobody considers beheading to be a solution. a revolution would be a pain in the ass to deal with.

[sighsheavily]

No, I don't believe torches and pitchforks is the right course of action at the moment. Rather, I'd see this overwhelmed man seek out aid within this collective who may have experience with disasters of this nature.
