6th spell ~ [Video]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[On the way to work, Merlin ended up finding a picture, which he is now holding in front of him and really not looking too happy about it. In fact, he seems to be trying really hard to keep his expression composed, and shakes his head just slightly.]

This place really does enjoy trying to give away your secrets, or things you'd rather not just talk about, doesn't it?

It's already getting irritating.

[Finally, he actually looks at the phone.]

I take it more of you are finding... pictures from your life?

((OOC: The full photo post is here and has a bit of a description for the one he found.))

[hexuality]

It's happened before, this curse.

[She pauses delicately, having found a few of Merlin's, although none too awful. Family, she supposes. Or people as close as that. Weasleys do have a knack for stumbling across things like family.]

It's not always secrets, though. Sometimes it's things you miss. It was the only way I got to see some of my family, you know, before.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Has it?

I only found one so far, and it's not something I miss. Maybe I ought to look for some more.

[If he dares.]

[hexuality]

Sometimes it's better to just wait for them to turn up.

[Ginny pauses, then she smiles, holding up the photograph of him and his mother.]

I couldn't be sure, but I thought I recognised your scarf.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[Oh.

Now that makes him a little happier to see. Even if a little sad at the same time. He's gotten used to not seeing her, but he still misses her.]

That's my mother.

Hey, so....that picture you're holding? I have a copy. [She holds it up a moment, looking at it. And then the edges start to glow and smoke and curl and flames start dancing from the center and then, it's nothing but ash and Charlie's looking at Merlin again.] Correction. Had. It seemed the appropriate thing to do.

[Okay, he can't not smile at that. Charlie, you are such a sweetheart what even.]

I appreciate the thought, even if it doesn't get rid of it completely.

[charring]

No, but...it helps. There was one time the City decided some of my more hideous moments needed to be shared. Couldn't burn those, so I figured at least I could help you some.

[everhoping]

Hey, you look familiar...

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Do I?

[everhoping]

I think I might have some of your pictures...

[designedtoparty]

From yours, too. You never told me you and your butt buddy were getting it on.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

My... what?

[designedtoparty]

You know. Butt buddy.

[And just in case he's still not getting it, Nathan very kindly demonstrates some air humping for him.]

[deadly_legacy]

Our lives and the lives of others. It is hard to keep secrets here like you say.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

I really wonder if there's a point to it.

[deadly_legacy]

You think there is some larger purpose?

[baitswitch]

I haven't found a single one of mine. I'm trying to decide whether or not I feel offended.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[He snorts.]

I think you should be happy about it.

[baitswitch]

Oh, I don't know, it might've been nice to see which moments of my life the deities thought were important enough to spread around.

[threeolives]

I haven't found anything of my own, but I did find one of you and your twin friends.

[ She holds up the snapshot of them flying on broomsticks. ]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Oh.

[Now that is a pretty fond memory. He's glad he at least got some before they disappeared.]

That's the first one from The City.

[threeolives]

Yeah, it's the first I've seen too.

[Klarth studied the man's face and then back at the photo he found before asking.]

Ah, pardon. I'm not certain, but by any chance would this be a photo of you?

[Video:]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[Another one of those. Hopefully Arthur won't find it; then he has no idea what will happen.]

Yes, it's me.

[Video:]

[closetpervert]

Ah, it is! [He smiled as he glanced down at the photo again.]

Such a magnificent creature. You seem rather close to this one.
