Merlin's Bracelet // IC Contact (New)

[dragonspeak]

Arthur, you can't be serious. Oh, come on--ow!

[Merlin's voice, slightly muffled because of the distance at first, is much clearer when he speaks again
after a few seconds, though he sounds anything but cheerful. If anything, he sounds sullen.]

It's Merlin. Sorry I missed you. I'm probably at the hospital or... [here, he pauses,
then continues like the words are being dragged out of him in the most painful manner possible.] Or being useful for my amazingly skilled, patient, and forgiving master instead of
dallying about and picking flowers like the girl's petticoat I usually am.

[A pained moment of silence.]

Leave a message for me here and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

[Elphaba's voice is somewhat ragged when she speaks. That's what you get, when you haven't been sleeping very well and you have a broken arm and more than a few bruises, but she figures she's put this off for long enough.]

I've heard the Teacher's Council was open to training people looking to find better ways of defending themselves than smacking someone with a broomstick and hoping for the best. [Her tone is somewhat wry, but still rather serious.] Are you still willing to take on someone rather lacking in defensive skills?

[dragonspeak]

You heard right. [Merlin pauses a bit. Broomstick? Oh well, that's not the worst thing she could have used.]

Do you know which power you have?

[Video]

[unnaturallygreen]

The first level of Growth, as far as I can tell.

[Video] this is horrendously late, I'm so sorry

[dragonspeak]

That's easy enough. I know a lot of people who have that power. I could probably help you a little myself while we find someone with the same power.

[Video] that's okay!!

[unnaturallygreen]

Really? Great, thanks. [A beat, then:] I'm Elphaba, by the way. Elphaba Thropp.

[dragonspeak]

I'm Merlin, Elphaba. [He's not sure how much she's been told. Always safe to introduce himself, just in case.]

When did you want to start?

[unnaturallygreen]

Well, when are you free? My schedule's rather empty most of the time, anyway.

[dragonspeak]

We could try later today? I've got a shift here at the hospital I need to finish, but I could meet you after that for a while.
