Fourteenth Unused Utility Belt | Video, forward dated to tomorrow morning

[hellofist]

[Cass has always been something of a tosser and turner when it comes to sleeping, but for the most part it's cut down in the time she's been sleeping in Merlin's bed. It still happens every now and then, mostly when she's finding a new way to sleep, so it's not really that surprising when she turns over and smacks her communicator hard enough to knock it onto the floor.

The surprising part? It turns itself on. Good morning, Bargians! You now have the view of what's under Merlin's bed and the sounds of someone waking up.]

Did you... hear thud?

[There's the sound of someone else waking up and some 'I forgot how to talk overnight' mmphing noises.]

No…? Did you? [A short pause.] Stupid question, sorry.


[And now there's rustling sheets, the blanket that was hanging down from the bed gets pulled up a little as Cass rolls over.]

Allowed those in morning. Brain's still... waking up. Sleep good?

Yes, I did. [There is what you could probably call a kissing noise but it's muffled; his voice goes a bit quieter.] Better, now. You?

[The answer doesn't come right away, the only thing that can be heard is a content sigh and the sounds someone making herself very comfortable.]

Told you, always sleep better... with you there. But, guess we have... to get up, now.

[She doesn't sound very enthusiastic about this idea.]

Not yet. It's only…I…don't know what the time is. [Merlin stifles a yawn.] Shouldn't it say on your…

[The bed creaks a little as he leans over, then back.]

I think you knocked your communicator under the bed, hold on.

[A long, thin hand and the hem of a white tunic appear at the edge of the camera frame as he does some rummaging around the mess of clothes and books.]

[When he doesn't find it right away, Cass goes on her own search. More leaning and creaking and then-]

Found it.

[The perspective shifts to show Cass propped on her elbow, one side of her hair mussed from sleep, before she passes the communicator over to Merlin so he can tell them what time it is.]

Thanks.

[He's sitting up now, still a bit untidy; it is briefly apparent that under his old timey tunic he's wearing black pyjama bottoms with a yellow Bat-symbol on the left leg.]

Oh, that's not bad, it's -

[Something becomes apparent and he blinks, then blushes unflatteringly and turns the camera toward the wall in defence of Cassandra's modesty even though she's basically fully dressed.]

- erm. Turned on.

[Cass sounds very, very amused when she speaks.]

Should say good morning, Merlin. [Taking her own advice, Cass leans so she can look into the camera and waves, completely ruining the point of Merlin's directing the communicator away from her.] Morning, Barge!

[There is an extremely muffled sound that might be 'good morning' from where Merlin has his spare hand over his face, just about visible in the periphery, and then the feed stops recording.]

Comments

Cass, never sleep with anyone from the Dark Ages. They probably have like so many diseases.

That being said. You goddamn sex maniac, I didn't know you were on the prowl.

[hellofist]

[Chris no, you're going to make Merlin's head explode.]

He's not sick. [And okay maybe her head might explode too, she's looking a little flummoxed at that second bit.]

There's no- On prowl?

[takeyouapart]

[Slight background noise of horrified anguish THAT IS NOT WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE AT ALL.]

[ichoosefight]

[ Forget what she said about being jealous, your cuteness just melted all of that ever. ]

Morning guys.

[takeyouapart]

[Yeah you really can't see him anywhere in the frame, enjoy a miscellaneous shot of Merlin's untidy little antechamber room.]

Good morning, Stephanie.

[Yeeeahh, maybe a little stilted.]

video;

[hellofist]

[Aww, Steph. Don't worry, Cass still loves you in obscene amounts. She's also waving again.]

Hi Steph! Sleep good?

[fuckingvisions]

Oh so you're boy did come back. Congratulations love. You too look mighty cute together.

[ At least someone's feeling more social even if he is WAY behind in current events.]

[hellofist]

[Her boy. She kind of likes that, considering they're still at a loss for what this actually is between them and there's yet to be a word that really fits. And yeah she looks a little pleased, as well as slightly pink, at the cute comment.]

Thank you? [She's not really sure what the congratulations are for but she'll take it.] How are... you feeling?

[Spam]

[takeyouapart]

[At this point Cass' communicator is switched off and on Merlin's bedside table with the camera facing down just to be safe. Merlin himself is finally getting out of bed and stretching.]

Well, that was...

[He shrugs helplessly.]

Tea?

[Spam]

[hellofist]

[For the most part, Cass is just amused by this whole experience. She smiles and follows Merlin out of bed, reaching for his hand.]

Yes. Always good time... for tea.

[surfaceshine]

[There are no words - have a piercing wolf whistle, and some laughter, guys.

Not derogatory, just amused as hell.]

[ Video ]

[hellofist]

[It's easy to grin back at Dean when she sees he's not actually trying to be rude about it.]

You'll make him blush. Again.

[silver_tongue]

[This is unexpected. It's also very amusing.]

Oh, Cassandra, how you have tricked me. Here I was thinking that you were an innocent; instead, you have become a she-wolf. Do give my regards to your lover, but do not let him break your spirit. I would hate to be beaten to the prize.

[hellofist]

[Well... at least he's smiling?]

Merlin makes my spirit... much stronger, Loki. So don't worry, won't be broken.

[onceandfutureprat]

[Hi you two. Arthur's rediscovering how to use this communicator thing and this is entirely not at all what he was expecting to see. First, because you're here and second, he never ever wants to see you in bed with someone. The size of the text completely reflective of how loudly he's yelling.]

Merlin!

[takeyouapart]

[Oh.

Well.

There goes his Cass-generated bubble of 'everything is okay'.

Just as he'd finally started adjusting to the idea that he might not be coming back.

He just sounds kind of stunned and blank.]

A-Arthur.

[love_slave]

I thought you couldn't use magic anymore if you weren't a virgin.




Oh, wait. It's that you can't use unicorns.

Nevermind. Turn off the communicator and enjoy yourselves.

[takeyouapart]

...

You don't use unicorns.

[INCIDENTALLY, STILL A VIRGIN.]

[routemistress]

[AWWWWWWWW. You two are making Iris' teeth melt.]

Morning, sweethearts!

[hellofist]

[They do have that going on for them.]

Hi Iris! How are you?

[looksfine]

[In a refreshing twist of events, Aya has very few comments on the sleeping arrangements of her friend. Mostly because, as a being who does not sleep, she is not intimately familiar with the cultural significance of sharing a bed. Pun possibly intended]

Good morning, Cass.

video

[hellofist]

[Maybe some day Cass can explain that sometimes people sleep next to each other and it doesn't have to actually mean anything more than they really like each other. For now, Cass is just going to smile right back at her non-sleeping best robot pal.]

Have good night, Aya?

[tolaywaste]

Morning - what was that, Merlin? I couldn't hear you.

[Trolololol.]

Text

[takeyouapart]

Good morning.

this thread takes place after that other thread OH SNAP

[hellofist]

[She waits until Merlin has had his turn with Arthur because that's the way these things go, of course Merlin should get first visit rights. Waiting is torture, but she does it until she can't anymore.

Then she runs off to find him, though she's thought to change into jeans and a sweatshirt so she won't be confronting him with her unmaidenly state of undress by checking on him in her pajamas. She's pretty sure a tank top and shorts are unmaidenly, anyway. He always did worry too much about her honor. She makes it to his room in record time and knocks, telling herself not to immediately hug him. That can wait until he remembers her.]

[onceandfutureprat]

[What, he's not a child of a divorced couple, no one gets visiting rights on him.

He is confused though, by the knock. Since Merlin clearly doesn't do that anymore, and he doesn't think Arya is coming around for a chat and he can't think of anyone else that knows he's here. Sorry for the puzzled look, Cass, when he opens the door but that's just how it goes.]

Hello?
