008 ♛ Video | Justice is Served

[pratful]

[ Arthur holds a finger up to his lip as he looks into his video screen. ] Merlin doesn't know it yet, but in just one moment, I'm going to dump this bucket of snow on top of Merlin's head. [ Fair's only fair after that stunt Merlin pulled a few days ago. ]

[ with a grin, Arthur tucks his phone under his arm and picks up said bucket full of snow, now somewhat slushy from being inside the house for a few minutes. It's a big house! And, with careful movements, he pushes open the door to Merlin's bedchambers and creeps inside.

Beware of the screams after a few moments. It's only Merlin getting the rude awakening he so definitely deserves!

And with a dash, Arthur runs out of the room and cuts the feed. Justice has been served! ]

((ooc: Toss is still on slowatus/hiatus with Merlin, but I do have her permission for this post! Thanks! Also, at work, but I should be able to tackle this post later this afternoon. ))

No, I... I guess you could say I started it. A few days ago.

[errandry]

Didn't peg you for a war-starter. Good luck!

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Sometimes you have to resort to drastic measures to get him out of bed.

[errandry]

—that's it?

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[BEAMING.]

Yes!

[errandry]

What does he even do, glue himself to the sheets?

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Close enough.

[errandry]

You can't just leave him there to wallow or anything?

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Wallow? He's not wallowing, he's just lazy, and he can't lie around in bed all day.

[errandry]

He's gotta get up at some point! Then it'll be his fault for not doing it earlier.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

But I would be the one who gets punished for it.

In Camelot, anyway. I guess it's fine here, but there's no fun in that.

[errandry]

Wait, punished?

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Yeah. If the Crown Prince doesn't get up to do his duties, and it's my duty to get him ready, who do you think gets the blame?

[errandry]

Ohhhh, another prince, huh. Maybe you oughta upscale tactics.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Yeah? Do you have any ideas?

[errandry]

Hide ten alarm clocks and set 'em up to go off every couple hours? Glue his sheets to his bed?

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Camelot doesn't have alarm clocks.

That might be fun to try here, though...

[Hmmm.]

[pratful]

Don't you dare even think of it. [ who says he can't theadjack his own post? ]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

How are you going to stop me?

[pratful]

By knocking you in the head with my sword if I must.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

In your sleep?

[pratful]

I'll tie you up before I sleep.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

You'll... tie me up.

[errandry]

Go for it. You've gotta train these guys before they turn into kings!

[destinedtobeunpopular]

I wonder if it's actually possible.
