Video (backdated to Sunday Night)

[ Arthur's hands are shaking, and therefore, so is the Forge. But it's obvious, even in the dim light, that he's blood-spattered. But underneath the gore sluiced across his face, his jaw is firmed, his breathing slow and deliberate. ]

I'm so sorry. If I'd realized, I never would have —

[ No, he needs to start earlier than that. ]

If — someone who knows Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks could collect their bodies from the ruins...

[ No, that's not the place either. He swallows, hard, guilt shadowing his eyes. ]

[ Filter: Priscilla, Byakuya. ]

I have done — a terrible thing. I'll be stepping down from my position as Vice Commander, of course. And I would like to turn myself in to be judged at Themis.

Someone will have to be assigned to bring in Bellatrix. She fled into the Mist. I honestly thought she was no longer a threat to anybody, but I was wrong.

I've been wrong in a lot of things.

[Confused tone:]

Collect their bodies?

[And now frantic:]

What happened to them?!

What do you mean, bodies? And you're sorry?

Their bodies?

[Oh, no.]

[Pardon him, he's just a little surprised. What did you do vice-captain?]

You will need to explain what happened, Pendragon.

Arthur, are you all right?

What happened?

[Why is it that everywhere Mordred has seen you recently, Arthur, a specter of death seems to follow? Your past, and now in the present marked by blood.]

You never seem to think of preserving yourself, Arthur Pendragon.... [Is all he can say.]

[You could have chosen to flee]

Arthur?

[She hasn't got the presence of mind to change the setting of her Forge or try to hide her sudden terror at seeing him like this.]

What's happened? Are you all right?

[Lucius comes quickly to a conclusion. Not an unreasonable one, considering this man's last transmission. Accusatory.]

You killed them. You killed my niece.

[Never mind that he'd attempted to do so himself on at least one occasion.]

[She can't have heard this correctly. There is no way that she has heard this correctly. And when she does respond it's distant, wary, cold.]

You left them unconscious in the ruins. You left them unprotected?

[What are they doing in the ruins, Arthur?]

Where are you? Arthur, what happened?

[ She doesn't even address the subject of Remus and Tonks, it's uncertain if she even heard him talking. The sight of him was enough to fill her with cold dread. ]

[It's going to kick in at any moment: Merlin will know what to do, what to say to Arthur. Everything that he's gone through in both Camelot and Anatole has groomed him for moments like this.]

[Instead, he stands several feet behind Arthur, pulling the darkness around him like a blanket. He's crying without making a sound, and his hands are shaking so hard that he's simultaneously worried that he's gripping Tonk's wand too tightly or going to drop it.]

[He should go back to the ruins. He should help with the bodies. But Merlin just can't make himself go.]

What just happened?

[ Arthur, this doesn't seem particularly just of you. ]

[she's seen the other conversations, enough to hear/see that he's killed someone.]

Arthur... Can I do anything?

[Remus. What if he doesn't return? It could mean the loss of Isley's yoki permanently if that spell isn't lifted! A selfish thought perhaps, but . . . ]

[But there is concern there for the man himself, if not as much for the woman whom Isley doesn't know so well.]

[And . . . concern for Arthur.]

A fine mess you've gotten yourself into, Arthur. What happened?

Bodies? Why are they in the ruins to begin with, and why are they dead? [though by the look of him? Pretty obvious.]

And what do you mean, if you realised?

Arthur...? What happened?

[...]

[Priscilla takes several minutes of playing and replaying this. Trying to make sense of what he's saying. In the end, she can't. So.]

Arthur. Slow down.

What happened?

[AND WHY ARE YOU RESIGNING.]

Edited (lmao because miata said exactly the same thing and I didn't know at the time.) 2012-06-26 20:53 (UTC)

[Bodies? Shit.]

Oi, what happened? Are you alright, Arthur?

[Arthur. After all that trouble Sebastian went to to plan and execute their wedding reception? Really?]

I hadn't thought you capable of such a thing, sir.

[NOW who's he going to get to tutor Ciel?]

Oh--oh no.

[ he's come back to her blood-spattered before, but this is different. this is something else, something that makes her stomach twist and her jaw clench and something has gone wrong. ]

Arthur. Arthur, what's happened?
