135th Devotion: Seeking out Potentials

[Video: Backdated to Yesterday/Sunday.]

[Behold, Solomon draped casually across the back of a couch. He sighs wistfully, and turns his liquid green eyes towards the network device watching him.

Solomon casts a gentle smile toward his unknown audience, not showing any annoyances that others might feel at such an unwanted intrusion on their privacy. No, Solomon merely pulls himself into a more comfortable position so that he can speak to whoever desires to talk to him.]

Why, hello~... have you come to speak with a poor isolated soul such as myself?

Left to my own devices.... I find myself starving, growing listless... I don't suppose someone is available to help me with this, to nurse me back to health, so to speak? I would be quite grateful~.

[ooc: Bespelled (and cursed with 'I cannot tell a lie') Solomon (aka Solcubus)is hunnnngrrrry. No womenly attentions makes an incubus weak.] (Special note: he's lounging on a couch in Arthur and Merlin's house.)

[Master?]

[OH HORRORS]

You're Merlin?

[...he has a feeling he should be concerned now.]

Yes?

[Glaring daggers. Be concerned, Merlin. Very concerned.]

What did you do to Solomon?

[Oh, god. Here's the backlash he's been fearing, then?]

I... I'm not fully sure, honestly. I'm trying to fix it, but... I haven't had much luck yet.

Not 'sure'?

[YE GODS!]

You've all but wiped his mind!

I know! I didn't mean to! Or, well, I did, sort of, but-- I was cursed! I wasn't.. I wasn't myself. I don't want it to be this way.

Cursed or no, you're a wizard, aren't you?

Fix him.

[Angry Karl is an even less rational Karl than usual.]

[Well, Karl, you're kind of becoming the target of his frustration at the situation here so they can say they're even.]

I'm trying! But I can't... I can't find anything, I barely even know what I did!

[Okay. Okay. Deep breaths, Merlin, deep breaths.]

I am trying. I-- I'm sorry, I'm sure there's something, I just... haven't found it yet.

Why did you enchant him to begin with? Especially if you have such little control over your work?

[Unless the Wizard is playing dumb? Hmmm.]

[Have a much darker look.]

...Are you plotting something? Trying to amass an army?

[An army of immortal, sleepless soldiers :|]

I--

[...sigh.]

It was... an experiment. I'm not plotting anything, I really was cursed.

An experiment?

[Hoo boy. Wrong word to use in Karl's presence. He spent decades as one.]

If the City's Police weren't so abysmally inept, I'd turn you over for kidnapping.

...Or would you like to see how such offenses are dealt with in my family?

[Carnage! Carnage! Carnage!]

[lkashjfdskjg scream?!]

No, no, I wouldn't! Look. You... Do you know Solomon well?

...He's family.

[Nuff said.]

[...oh.

Oh.

Shit. Crap. Even when cursed to try being some evil, sneaky mastermind or something he's basically the greatest idiot.]

Sorry. I'll... I'll get him back, I will. I think... Could you tell me just what is different about him? Because I have no idea, since I didn't know him and I think that makes it especially difficult so if I knew more...

Different?

...You mean other than the fact that he remembers no one? And doesn't know who ~~what~~ he is?

I don't know at all who he was before, so I can't know what changed. So he forgot who he is, entirely?

[A pause, and then, very quietly:]

Bugger.

[He's not sure if that complicates things or not.

Ahem!]

But his name is Solomon, at least?

Everything.

[His entire history. His relationship with Karl. With Saya. The fact that he is a Chiropteran.]

It's Solomon, yes. That seems to be all he remembers.

Bugger.

[He says it clearly this time, and sighs.]

Right. Okay. Everything. Great. Does he act the same?

[Argh! Why are you interrogating him, Merlin? FIX HIM ALREADY! Karl has no patience.]

The attitude is Solomon's, but - [The indiscretion? The overt flirtations? This Network post in particular.] - He seems warped.

Edited 2012-05-29 09:03 (UTC)

[BECAUSE HE NEEDS TO KNOW THESE THINGS. Can't search through a huge library without knowing at all what to look for.]

So I take it this isn't normally like him, then? Good to know.

[Er, there's a reason Karl was the lunatic of the bunch. And not the funny, harmless sort, either.]

The only good you'll know is once you fix this mess.

Immediately.

[Ahahahaha...ha...]

Immediately. Right.

...

How long is immediately?

[SOB POOR MERLIN...!]

For me to know. And you to find out.

[God, if only Gaius was here. He would have given Merlin the worst raised eyebrow yet, probably, but at least he would be able to help.

He grins. Sort of. Hesitantly and warily.]

Sounds fun.
