Woods Outside the Citadel, Camelot, Wednesday Morning

[bitchprince]

The phones were working. That warranted a trip out into the woods, under the pretense of going out for a ride with the Lady Morgana, to see how well their connection held up in Camelot. Contact some friends.

Arthur was wary; he'd clipped his Blackberry back to his hip where it used to be shortly after they entered the woods, but he hadn't actually stopped until they were far enough in that he could be sure no errant hunting party would run into him.

He slid off the horse, found a good place to stand, and rang.

[[ open for anyone who'd like to contact any of the three Camelot kids. Whether you'd call them, or you think they'd call you! ]]

Francine sighed, because it wasn't like she didn't remember that. Including the killy part. Heck, it had been top of the list of Things To Worry About Besides Not Hearing From Them for the last three weeks.

She'd just kind of shoved that under a pillow while she was busy being overjoyed. "But not raining marshmallows things."

Merlin cursed, sighing into the phone. "I knew I forgot to pick up something."

"Pick up something? Where? I thought you didn't have marshmallows in your time." It was hard to avoid picturing him popping down to the Camelot Quik-Stop for them, despite having a fairly good idea what a market might really look like there, from Kaeleer.

"I was in Fandom to get the phones and... I forgot to get marshmallows."

Re: Call! - Merlin

[thatsamilkshake]

"........" Francine felt the need to pause for breath before continuing her pause. "....You were in Fandom? And we missed you?"

That'd be the sound of a forehead thunking against a tube-bed several times.

"I called you from your room!" A beat. "...I didn't touch anything."

"Like you haven't seen all my porn?" Oh wait, he hadn't. There were three more volumes of Taste of the Apple now. ...She was talking about porn on the phone in the lounge of a tube hotel. Oh God.

"Oh wait, your saddlebags!"

Re: Call! - Merlin

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"...what about them?" He hadn't looked in those.

Re: Call! - Merlin

[thatsamilkshake]

"...There was a deluxe bag of marshmallows in one of them?" Which... might be a little squished now.

Re: Call! - Merlin

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Oh! I really ought to learn how they're made." So he could make them. Yes. This was a good idea.

Re: Call! - Merlin

[thatsamilkshake]

"Oooh, homemade marshmallows. That could be fun!" Because after all, what could he possibly do to marshmallows?

That had gelatin in them. Which he'd have to get from horse's hooves or Fandom. Francine would vote Fandom if she'd actually looked up the ingredients.

Re: Call! - Merlin

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

...maybe cow hooves instead?

"Can you add things to them?" Like pine nuts!

Re: Call! - Merlin

[thatsamilkshake]

No. No. Nooooooooooo. "Um. Maybe food coloring? Marshmallows are more the kind of things you add to something else."

Re: Call! - Merlin

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"We don't have food coloring here." Other than, say, beets and onion skins.

Re: Call! - Merlin

[thatsamilkshake]

The scary thing is that beet juice would probably work. As long as he only wanted pink marshmallows.

"You might want to stick with adding marshmallows to other things, then," Francine suggested. Oh so brilliantly, because anyone with a brain could now picture Roast Swan With Marshmallows emerging from the palace kitchens. Good thing that wasn't an issue for Francine. "If you can get back to Fandom whenever you want to, though, you can always get more!"

"And visit you guys," Merlin added cheerfully. "I'm already missing the plumbing, you know."

Re: Call! - Merlin

[thatsamilkshake]

"Oh, so you only love us for our bathroom. I see how it is!"

Re: Call! - Merlin

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"You try going without!"

Re: Call! - Merlin

[thatsamilkshake]

"I have. We just spent the last two days hiding in burned-out warehouses before we got here. I get it." Francine laughed more from relief that here she was laughing again than because it was all that funny. "Though now you've got me picturing you coming back to Fandom every time you need one."

Re: Call! - Merlin

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"...why were you in a burned out warehouse?" Sure, pick THAT, Merlin.

Re: Call! - Merlin

[thatsamilkshake]

It was probably better for all concerned than continuing the bathroom-related line of conversation, you have to admit.

"Portalocity dumped us in some weird run-down nightmare San Fransisco instead of the regular one," Francine said. "They got us out eventually, but we had to hide for a while."
