Pre-Compression ( 04/08 - 04/14 ) Buildings stand perfect, pristine, and totally abandoned. Lights flicker, lifts work sometimes and if you can find a radio or television all it repeats is the last few seconds of something, over and over again. Computers only display the page they were on, vehicles stand silent and unmoving. Weird flickers in the corners or your eye, like you just missed seeing something--or someone. The world of Adstringendum is as it was, seconds before compression. Note: Anything kept on your character when the event ends will be 'recompressed', meaning you might end up with a laser gun with a can of peas melded into the middle. Useful, no, but still cool, right?

Ten Years Later ( 04/22 - 04/28 ) Suggested by Kisa Flash forward, it’s ten years into the future of Adstringendum and you've been here all this time! What's happened over the years? Events, deaths, new friends, old enemies, marriages, all the dramatic and mundane happenings of the city, not to mention those older faces. After all, ten years is enough time for the scientists to have finally managed to fix that pesky time-compression problem somewhere along the way, right? The whole city (people, buildings, animals) are older now; ten years of history in Adstringendum. What have you been doing?

Merlin: He has become a lot like the legends foretell, a powerful sorcerer with a wise countenance. He is still some days the biggest clutz but magic is his life and he seeks to teach those who come to him for help. He's learned healing spells. Various little things and truly come into his own as a dragon lord.

His unwavering faith in the good within us all has been a source of strength as much as it sometimes undoes him. He's a tall sort, but without Arthur he doesn't seem quite complete. There's a side missing to his coin as he becomes best friends with Ron and gets into all sorts of adventures.

Dirk Strider: Over the years he has been a tactically minded sort, working on one project to the next. He assists Jade and Urahara with the generators. He lectures Sora on the importance of skepticism. All the while he truly learns about people by being in their midst.

The events of adstring humble him and he comes to see he can't control everything. But there are things he can do and that is what he begins to seek out and do what he can. In the process he starts going by the moniker, Bro Strider. Dirk to his close friends.

[nukeoleptic]

Jade will only call him Bro when she's teasing him. 8(

Also, at some point, do you mind if we say that Katara got to know Merlin? Not necessarily well, but I think she'd be drawn to him because of the whole magic thing, so there would probably be a lot of general questions/advice-asking.

[timaeus_testified]

And he's fine with that. ;;

Yes! I endorse this. And he'd want to learn about bending and take to her mothering fairly well.

[waterbends]

she will also maybe ask for help in wooing dave.

AND KATARA IS GOOD AT MOTHERING.. she will make sure you're eating, Merlin.

[timaeus_testified]

Haha oh god and Dirk will give his advice. Some of it a pure joke but she'll be able to see through it.

And daww katara

[oblivionize]

what sort of adventures we be going on

i demand dragon riding,

[timaeus_testified]

I concur. Dragon riding is a must.

[knight_to_king]

I'd suggest starting a magic school but B|

[timaeus_testified]

He can certainly be part of adventures like that. o7

Will is 22, and has full knowledge of his existence as an Old One. Also, tempted to say he has opened a small jewelry/engraving shop. I feel like there should be some kind of friendship/colleague kind of thing happening.

[timaeus_testified]

I think that's pretty ideal for Will, man I want to reread the series now. I agree there would certainly be a friendship there! Two people who understand Arthur, the old legends, even if they come from different versions of it. I think Merlin would offer to help out and could learn a lot from Will while he's at it.

[beyondimagining]

I always liked the idea that Will would either take over his Dad's jewelry shop or become a professor when he got older! Feels like both fit him. And I'm thinking his shop would be completely overrun by books collected over the years.

YES, I could see them going and visiting each other to talk about magic business.

[timaeus_testified]

I love both of those ideas for him. Hahaha, yes books all over the floor.

And man, sometimes just going for walks to talk about it! I can see over time Merlin studying further into the arts of a physician, and having a garden of all his medical herbs and plants he needs.

[beyondimagining]

I can see that! I don't see Will ever going the physician route, but he is very interested in plants even at age 12. Goes around reading medieval herbals and so on. I could definitely see him studying more on them eventually.

MERLIIIINNNNNN

COME. CHILL IN THE ARENA WITH OTHER MAGICAL PEOPLE KICKING THE BUTT AND DISPENSING WISDOM LIKE PEZ.

[timaeus_testified]

YES! He so will!

[oblivionswater]

best ever!

TYL account herpderp

[bigmaster]

Seeing as Jr. will have been hanging around with Dirk and Roxy and considers Urahara his father, it's probably a safe bet that these two met at some point during the ten years.

[timaeus_testified]

Yep~ What you got in mind?

[bigmaster]

Dirk should have been Jake there, oops. And I know Jr. and Jake are action explorer buddies with the worst fashion sense and Roxy is one of the few people Jr. can talk to about stuff relating to things from his world without explaining. I'm also 99% sure Jr. would refuse to call Dirk Bro, since he doesn't throw familial terms like that around lightly.

Possibly sparring buddies, since Jr.'s a swordsman and inhumanly fast/strong?

[timaeus_testified]

Hahaha, no worries. Yeah and Dirk would be cool with that. I vote sparring buddies and maybe they talk seriously about issues that guys like them can get.

[bigmaster]

Yeah, especially since Jr.'s also from a world where robots and sentient AIs and interplanetary travel are things that are real. High tech worlds are severely underrepresented in Ads.

And Jr. will hold off on hitting on Jake because Dirk's actually serious about it. He's still good to flirt with Roxy though, right?

[tastestherainbow]

STOIC AND BADASS BROLLIANCE FOR LEARNING THE SECRETS OF ALL THIS SHIT AND HELPING THOSE IN NEED WHEN THEY'RE LEAST EXPECTED?

[timaeus_testified]

YES, LET'S BAND TOGETHER AND FIGURE THIS SHIT OUT. Then help everyone while being v classy, in our help.

[feel_nevermore]

Merlin. Let's do magic <3
