Three Silver Pieces - [Action/Written]

[arturius]

[Arthur really had no idea what to do with himself. It had been two months now and his various trips had seen every inch around the barrier, save for those that the ocean blocked. The mountains had provided him with a handy way of escaping the village after his humiliation with that experiment. He had already crossed them once, with Cordelia, but he was only now returning again after a long trip crossing them on the northern edge of the barrier only to cross them on the south.

Reluctant as he was to admit it, he really was trapped. There was no way out. Even the excursion out to sea seemed like it would only be a way of confirming what he already suspected. There was nothing that he, even as King of Camelot, could do to escape. Especially when not even magic seemed to make a difference. Upon returning to the village on horseback, he was too weary to prepare his own meal, so his first stop was Seventh Heaven. Some of his clothes had been torn on the trip and with no way of repairing them himself, he made a stop at the clothing shop to find some replacements. Even before being able to return to his own apartment, he had to see to it that he put his horse away and saw to it he was properly fed and stabled for the night. Hard work, all of it. What he wouldn't give for a servant.

Later, in the evening, he writes up a message on the journal.]

It's been two months since I've arrived. If the guide to this place is right, that means more of us will be coming soon. Does it get tiresome, hearing how intent we are on to escape, knowing that we'll soon realize how futile it really is? It seems I may find that out for myself, soon enough.

Tiresome? No.

It's nice to see people hoping. In a twisted way, I guess.

[mistlegacy]

Not really. I can't blame people for holding onto hope. If anything, I feel a bit sad that such is likely to fade before long.

[selphie_t]

Not really. We all go through it so it's pretty understandable.

Your Arthurness:

Our planned voyage might not be entirely futile: who knows but we may find things other than escape.

Drink to start off with?

[Straight and to the point; that's the greeting awaiting Arthur after he's been given a minute to settle himself at a table, a menu already there. The chef makes note of the torn up appearance, but eh, it's not his business to pry. Just feed the guy and turn him loose]

I believe I tried to warn you about this when you first arrived, actually.

This place and predictability are one true pair. It's a pity no one's figured out how the Malnosso choose to send people home.

Better to hope than to give up.

One day there may be a new feather that thinks of something others have not.

[What is writing? Precis is working, so her face is messy and she'd rather just say something and get back to reading what he says later.]

Oh, hey! That's right, it's been two months.

...Are you really that bored? Watching the calendar like that? Sounds kinda lame.

[magentarific]

Two months and you're already giving up? Geez, I thought the people here had a little more fight than that in them.
