[Merlin is going to forgo the camera option on the tablet, and the voice option. Why would he use those when there's a perfectly good text function that could be used that doesn't quite hide his identity, but at least people wouldn't be quick to put a face to the name.]

10-97 code no 1. 10-56 kitchen. 10-65. These things seem to work a treat but that's probably about all I can say about things working in this place. Not even the windows like to open, which I believe would be a problem further down the line should this place decide to get warmer. No staff and no way out, and I believe these are all things mentioned previously by others, and I doubt I would need to go through the same initiation rites as others may have. It's pretty obvious that if something can bring us here then they can work at keeping us here. I have bad news for them, and that it's people tend to work harder when they're stressed and this place is primed for just that. Hopefully no-one feels the need to die during our journey to find a way out. I wouldn't want to be cleaning that up. You can all keep the urge to murder your fellow inmates to yourself, we wouldn't want anything untoward happening and that would be counter-productive to the task at hand.

Should anyone feel the need to reply to this, then I want the details of what has been attempted so far and the results so I can go over them before looking further into this. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated in times such as this.

seen to like JUST seen to? like we was on the plane to go get roxy?
or were we home? did i say anything about goin to see my mum?

( he just really wants to know if he beat the shit out of his stepdad or not. it's been incredibly frustrating to be pulled from that fight before it could happen twice. merlin, you're the gov'na and unlocking the door to princess tilde's cell doesn't occur to him as having been their last interaction. whoops. )

[eggsy no. this is merlin linefacing at his tablet, because it's a discussion he really doesn't think eggsy wants to get into.

that being said, it'll be a good lesson for the kid to learn when not to ask questions that have the potential for chaos.]

Were. And the last thing I remember is turning the camera feed off when you decided to rescue the prinsessa.

Is there any particular reason that interaction wouldn't have required surveillance?

[no, eggsy]

( frick.

he kinda wants to laugh~~cry~~ at his tablet and not say anything else ever. but harry asked him rather direct question and — )

well she was kinda underdressed

( un~~der~~dressed )

[...]

I believe that's as complete a report as I need, thank you both.

[If either of you say another word on this subject he's going to cut both of you.]

Eggsy seemed keen on improving diplomatic relations with Sweden. Personally. And yes, that is as complete a report as anyone needs.

Sometimes you need to take your glasses off, Eggsy.

coulda told me that when you told me the door code
merlin
shit
did you fucking watch ALL of it

You are aware that your performance on missions is evaluated in its entirety, of course, Eggsy.

Now, if the two of you don't mind me reintroducing some relevance to this discussion: we are all here from different points in history. Eggsy the latest, I presume.

Of course not, Eggsy. I had better things to be doing with my time, like making sure Lancelot was unscathed. Had I known at the time what you planned, that door would have remained firmly closed. That being said, despite the monitors being off those glasses will have recorded everything you have done, so be more cautious in future of your actions.

It seems that way, though from the sounds of things not by much which I suppose we can be a little thankful for.

( evaluated? )

id say i got top marks .

( ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

but for real, motion to move on from the subject of his proclivities? motion passed. )

yeah it's been like two days since things went to shit from my end.

Barely relevant, I suppose. Just makes them seem even more bloody haphazard, though that may be the point.

We'll talk about that later, Eggsy.

If they wanted discord and haphazard commotion then they didn't do the best of jobs where we're concerned. Not yet, anyway.

[ Merlin is already thinking it. If they can bring Harry....]

( no share with the class merlin )

what'd you mean?

[oh he will.]

It means that there is currently a possibility of people we don't want here showing up.

In which case we'll have to ensure that we have one another accounted for at all times and consider how best to communicate the risk to others. We've just seen how it shouldn't be done.

[Stay classy, Killian.]

( no he doesn't have time for potential valentines potential shenanigans here )

or i could just kill em again

[Sorry Killian, judging you forever.]

Has anyone here actually died since arriving? Immortal people not included.

Not that's been reported. And storing a body without it being noticed would be practically impossible.

maybe that's what's in them rooms downstairs.
but really, valentine shows up let's just stab him

( that's violent. well deserved, but violent. )

or lock him in his room. he ain't got much to use against us without those SIM cards, and everything like that from homes fried on arrival.

[It is violent, but Merlin isn't going to say anything on it until it happens for once.]

Then if he does show up I'm sure we can find out whether everyone can do what the previously mentioned captain does or not. There's little point in wasting an opportunity.

[To say his feelings on this subject are complex would be an hilarious understatement.

On one hand, Harry appreciates that if any of them kill a man - a man who will presumably arrive disarmed and physically harmless - without direct provocation, that marks them out as murderers. In a closed environment where everyone is already somewhat on edge and several people seem inclined towards violence, that is an incalculably bad idea. If he is miraculously resurrected, as Jack was (as he was), then all they'd be doing is creating a grudge that will persist for God knows how long they'll be here.

Furthermore, for all his madness, Valentine is obviously a genius and his presence would put them automatically on the same side, insofar as 'everyone versus the Hotel staff' is a side. Negotiating a truce - yes, with a genocidal maniac - would amount to making the best of a Godawfully bad situation.

On the other hand? He was violated in a way that, God willing, the two of them will never understand. He killed dozens of innocent people in a haze of unrestrained bloodlust triggered by the flick of a switch. He relives it every night when he tries to sleep. He sometimes looks down at his hands and sees blood. He hears the whine of the V-chip signal when he's alone in a quiet room. He sometimes thinks he can see bodies slumped into corners, twitching out the last moments of their lives. If Valentine was in front of him he can't say that he wouldn't just pin him down and hit him, over and over and over, until the man's face was a pulp of raw flesh and broken teeth - which would be yet another victory to the man, robbing him of his control all over again. The idea of Valentine following them here makes his head physically hurt, a sharp pain over his left eye and radiating across his temple that he knows (hopes) is psychosomatic.

Eventually his actual response is a clipped:]

Precedence suggests that we have at least another fortnight to consider the ramifications of that.

If you'll excuse me, gentlemen.

[aaand this is Harry classily withdrawing from the conversation to be alone with the slow trainwreck of his current mental state.]

Harry!

( it's objection without any real follow through. he doesn't have anything — profound words of comfort, proffered coping mechanisms, light little anecdotes, anything — to really say if he comes back.

it's frustrating, feeling useless, but at least now he can differ to their handler. and when the third meme bet of their trio doesn't return: )

do you need anything else Merlin?

[It's awkward, but only a little. No-one needs to be a genius to know why Harry has excused himself from the conversation. Most would want to run off and comfort their friend, but Merlin knows that would probably be a little counter-productive right now. He's not sorry for bringing the topic up though, it's better to be prepared for the worst.]

That will be all, Eggsy.

right
keep in touch.

( galalad out. )
