back to the future - emmett brown

Now this is remarkable. I've been made to understand that this is a regular event around here, this sudden seemingly free influx of unexpected visitors. One with a limited timespan as well, from my understanding. Which means it is vital to make the most of this research opportunity while it's presented itself.

Certainly somewhere there must be some indication as to the manner of the connection between this dimension and others - more apparent now than typically - and how it has been possible for those of us whose stays here are somewhat less transitory to find ourselves achieving transdimensional passage to begin with...

[And his voice trails off as he gets distracted by planning his research. The connection goes quiet for a few moments before it cuts off.]

[ooc: HAVE AT HIM. Also, this post is so backdating friendly, it's got its own damn flux capacitor.]

I think the forest might be best.

[Not that he thinks he doesn't have enough control over his magic to break something by accident or... something like that, an open space is probably simply better.]

The forest it is, then!

I'd be happy to meet you and show you the way, of course, if you can describe your present location!

[He might also be... trying to peer very closely at the screen to see if he can figure out where you are.]

[Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.]

Ah. The fountain.

Excellent! Hold your position and I'll be there in just a few minutes.

[And the feed cuts right off.]

[Oh!

Alright then.

He'll just... step around the fountain and poke a little at it, then. He's really wondering how wise this is, and how much of a disapproving look Gaius would give him... But, surely, it'll be fine.

Surely.]

[He's lucky that the man on his way to meet him is definitely among the least threatening figures in the City. If he ever did wind up hurting anyone, it would probably be because he made a minor miscalculation in an experiment and something exploded.

Luckily, he doesn't have anything potentially explosive with him when he arrives in the crowded square and looks around the fountain.]

Ah! There you are!

[And he extends a hand, because it has only occurred to him on his way over that he actually hadn't introduced himself. He has improved over the years, but social niceties will never be his strong suit.]

Doctor Emmett Brown.

[Indeed.

Merlin whips around as soon as he hears that voice, and smiles as he takes the hand. All good, all good.]

Merlin.

[Doc's big smile is back as he shakes that hand.]

Merlin?

[He dismisses the perceived significance of the name for the moment - it's hard to with the role magic is playing, but legends in his own reality don't necessarily carry over for others. It's in the back of his mind, though.]

Well, it's a pleasure! I do truly appreciate your willingness to demonstrate your abilities.

It's nothing, just... keep it between the two of us?

[He fidgets, a little, with his neckerchief and his smile falls a little. As much as he enjoys showing magic, he's really beginning to wonder if he's being way too lax about it.]

Oh yes, of course, certainly!

[And he gestures grandly, as he turns to walk down one of the streets.]

The forest is this way. I must warn you, I've been told it can be extremely dangerous to venture too far in, but the crowds should dissipate well before the point where any such peril would become likely.

It should be fine.

[Even if something actually did come at them, he could probably deal with it. Give them time, at the very least.]
