The Internet, By Ways Of Arthur's Blackberry, In Tokyo, Japan

[bitchprince]

Until recently, Arthur had not been interested in a... twitter account. That was the realm in which Merlin and his damned otter pictures dwelled. It was no place for Arthur Pendragon, Crown Prince of Camelot.

But having been stuck in transit for at least three days now - at least, that's what it felt like - he was dearly in need of a way to... express himself that did not involve yelling at Merlin, the idiot.

@princearthurpen You would think that given enough coin, the IDIOTS at Portalocity would be capable of connecting one place to the other. Even Merlin does no
@princearthurpen t have such difficulty doing magic!
@princearthurpen My God, this character limit nonsense is worse than text messages!
@princearthurpen Is everyone this bloody incompetent? I need more than one hundred and forty 'characters' to fully encapsulate the level of idiocy at work he
@princearthurpen re!
@princearthurpen I'm certain some evil wizard is responsible for the 'burgers' at White Castle. Which does not even remotely resemble a castle. You people.
@princearthurpen And has anyone heard from Mat? You'd think the damned fool would know to get back to Fandom instead of waiting around to get wiped off the f
@princearthurpen ... there is a vending machine with USED UNDERWEAR sitting opposite me. WHY?!?

It would pobably be best for everyone if Arthur's twitter account 'accidentally' got deleted.

princearthurpen: @JainaSolo_ Ah.

Then, after a second or two of deliberation:

princearthurpen: @JainaSolo_ You and I should find this 'gnome' and kill him.

Three days of layovers with not a single hotel in the package plus watching half his kingdom get torn to shreds did not make a very reasonable Arthur.

JainaSolo_: Way ahead of you. May have put a vampire hit out on him and I have plans for systematic torture of the gnome. HEAR THAT, @PORTALOCITY?

[bitchprince]

princearthurpen: @JainaSolo_ Well, if you do get around to it, let me know. I've been trained in a number of disciplines that may be of help to you.

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: @princearthurpen Will do. Because I AM COMPLETELY SERIOUS ABOUT THIS. #portalocityisthepathtothedarkside

[bitchprince]

princearthurpen: @JainaSolo_ So am I, though I do not understand your hashtag. Should I have Merlin bring me darker clothes?

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: @princearthurpen I mean Portalocity wants me to end up evil.

[bitchprince]

princearthurpen: @JainaSolo_ This isn't evil. It's justice. My father would do worse.

Because that was a good frame of comparison!

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: @princearthurpen Thats my take, too. Its protecting others from travel hell.

[bitchprince]

princearthurpen: @JainaSolo_ If they hadn't shut down service, my people would be safe by now.

And now they were hitting the maudlin end of travel hell.

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: @princearthurpen What happened?

[bitchprince]

princearthurpen: @JainaSolo_ Some strange magic has taken siege of Camelot. Merlin barely got us out with our lives.
princearthurpen: @JainaSolo_ I'll tell you when we get there. If we get there.
princearthurpen: #portalocityfail

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: @princearthurpen I'm sorry. Thats happened other places too.
JainaSolo_: @princearthurpen Keep trying. People are getting here, but it takes Work.
