[ Finally, Merlin addresses the network after coming back to the City. Those who knew him before might notice that he's gotten a bit older and, if you're perceptive, that there's definitely some added weariness to his eyes. But it's not quite that noticeable, either. ]

The City's the same as always, I see. But I guess a week doesn't really change that much.

Dancing's at least a pretty nice curse.

I don't know how many of you knew I was gone, but I'm back now. Have been for a while, actually. Who's still here and how are you doing?

Oh, and apparently Christmas coming up soon? We don't celebrate that back home so... I'm a bit curious what it's like. But I'll find out, won't I?

[ A pause, followed by a cheeky grin. ]

Maybe I should be worried about it? This is the City.

Well, before I came here, it was the only other world I knew of, other than my home world. It's supposed to be made of digital data.

That's why, when I came here, I wasn't surprised about learning of other worlds.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

I see...

[ Or not really. He'll have to look it up later - no point in letting Ken explain it all. ]

So... What do you like, then?

[oceantrauma]

[Not that Ken would mind. But he might not know the best way of going about it.]

Well, that's something I'm still learning.

I do like my friends from back home. And I did enjoy soccer. I like being useful, too.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Right. It's something to go on.

[oceantrauma]

Yes, but not that either of us has to look.

[Though he will.]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Yeah.

[ So will he. ]

[oceantrauma]

[So Merlin can expect a book under the tree that details all sorts of different magics from worlds Ken's never heard of.]
