Two Silver Pieces - [Action/Voice]

[arturius]

[A week ago, Arthur left on his horse to explore the outer edge of the barrier more thoroughly than he had before. He didn't leave with much warning, hoping he would simply find a way out. But it was a week out in the cold and not too comfortable, but he'd dealt with worse while traveling with his knights throughout the Five Kingdoms. Even so, he was quite happy to be able to return to his apartment for a much needed bath. Fortunately he didn't need a servant to have a hot bath warmed up for him. One advantage of Luceti science, it seemed. Though he considered it only a moment's rest. He would need to resume his efforts later.

Today Arthur can be seen in town again for the first time in awhile, leading his horse into the market area. He's collecting supplies again, being a little more thorough than previously. He'd had to raid the New Feather stations more than once the last week, so he wasn't keen on doing that again. As always, he's in his chainmail, but that's covered with an extra long coat on top, concealing it for the most part. He's really not that good with the whole 'staying put' thing. Not while Camelot is in peril. But there's some things he wants to know before he heads out again. So his best bet is the journal, unfortunately. Something he's more or less been ignoring the past week. Well. Here he goes again.]

First of all, I know I'll be told what I'm doing is absolutely useless, so I don't need a reminder of that. What I'd like to know is how thoroughly the barrier around the mountains and ocean have been explored. Say what you will, but I don't believe any fortress is perfect. I intend to explore the outer edges of the mountain soon, so any information would be greatly appreciated.

Failing that, I'll require a ship to sail around the edge of the barrier. Would any such vessel be available?

[ ... You know she doesn't know this guy, but at the same time there's a decent point raised. She is one of the oldbies who agrees what he is doing is absolutely pointless, but the Brigade's boat has seen basically no action and before she starts taking it out in the spring she might as well see if it will actually, you know, work. ...She wonders if it can be crewed with one man, she should ask Hiccup]

I might have that vessel.

[voice]

[arturius]

[Well, this is promising at least. Though 'might' implies certain conditions.]

And men to crew it?

[voice]

[godbent]

No, I don't have that. I have boat, but any "crew" I have for it are occupied with other things so you'd need to get your own crew.

[And she... really should try to remember how many people he'd need. there's a sound of shuffling, she's looking for those blueprints]

[voice]

[deceives]

I have searched and checked all viable options, which are quite lacking in terms of getting out of this scrap heap, in the mountains. There is nothing to be gained by looking...unfortunately.

[ Slight annoyed growl there. ] But by all means you are most certainly welcomed to do so. [ He dun curr. Just watch out for falling rocks because everybody dies or something with those. ]

[voice]

[arturius]

[What in the world is he even talking to? His answer is delayed because... seriously, what?]

Well that's fortunate, seeing as how I intend to anyway. I'm glad to know I have your blessing.

[voice]

[deceives]

[ Your future lord and master that's what! Or you know...just Starscream.

Just a scoff. ] As you wish human. [ He will just watch you in blatant amusement as you are sorely disappointed, then. ]

I have scouted and searched those mountains myself. And I probably have done a much better job than anything you humans could possibly do.

[herotypical]

You really do epitomize the phase prince charming, don't you?

[ voice ]

[arturius]

[Oh lovely. The barmaid.]

That's King Charming, I'll have you know.

[ voice ]

[herotypical]

O-oh...you're king, now?

[ the fastest quip that came to mind: who died and made you king?

except she remembers meeting king uther. and she remembers that he looked like another dead man. dead father. and so her voice is only tinged with a slightly strained surprise. ]

[humility]

Would you mind if I joined you? I'd like to see the boundaries for myself as well.

[video]

[arturius]

I'm going into the mountains. With the rocks and ice, it will make for dangerous terrain. I won't be responsible for putting you in harm's way.

[humility]

You don't need to worry about me. I can take care of myself.

[winged_moon]

[Hey, you knew it was coming.]

You are wasting your time.

[written]

[arturius]

Yes, thank you.

[written | same as before]

[winged_moon]

If you're going to do so you might wish to wait until it's no longer winter.

[wannabolt]

I've flown all over this place, and even at high speeds that thing's not gonna break. And that's saying something, 'cause I can book it at hundreds of miles per hour.

voice

[arturius]

... you're a horse. A blue, talking horse.

[dragoneer]

[Welp, if you've really got to prove it to yourself, man.]

There's The Britannia, but it's...not really, um. Able to be crewed by one person.

[And there's Jack ship. Ha. Yeah. Good luck with that.]

voice;

[arturius]

Even if it could be, it wouldn't do me much good. I've never been on anything larger than a rowboat.

[Voice]

[fleurdesel]

I do not know anything of the mountains, but there are more than a few ships to be found, their owners respectable and, I am certain, more than willing to aide you in this.

[Voice]

[arturius]

Well, it's a start, certainly.

voice;

[quip]

Think this barrier might be hiding an exit door?

voice;

[arturius]

Nothing so obvious, but there might be a crack in it somewhere.

[voice]

[nocorsetsplease]

It is not in my place to volunteer the vessel for your purposes, though I might speak to the Captain for you. There are several ships and smaller boats that may serve you well, though it is not in my power to contribute them. Perhaps I could assist you in your pursuit to explore these regions. Very noble.

[voice]

[arturius]

The offer's appreciated, but it's not my place to endanger you on a mission like this. [You know. What with the being a woman and all.]
