equipment orientation ♔ monday afternoon
WHO || Lis'sa Trinall, Katniss, Myrilandel, Andrea, Arthur, Merlin, Riddick, and JamesLis'sa meets the squires inside the laboratory, behind its "Biohazard" labelled doors. She doesn't really offer much of a greeting, or even introduce herself - just waits inside the strange multi-storied library section until everyone is gathered, and then instructs them to follow her up the steps. A great deal of models are suspended from the ceiling that look like space age designs for jet planes, cars, boats, and any number of other things. There are other objects that are much more inexplicable: a giant silver ball, suspended by several rods, for example.
WHAT || Equipment Briefing
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Dragon's Hoard Laboratory
WHEN || Monday, February 13th, 1:00pm

There's another set of doors at the end of the balcony, and she swipes an access card through a reader besides them. They depress with a space age his. revealing a clean white laboratory, with rows and rows of tables and lab equipment set up. Numerous knights buzz around in white lab coats, working under microscopes and on computers, conferring over a number of projects.
"This way," she instructs simply, not sparing the lab a second glance, heading for a door on the left hand side of the room. She presses a hand against the panel there, and the red light changes to green, unlocking the door for everyone's access.
Beyond is a very long room, with rows of labelled cases and cabinets with transparent glass revealing what's inside. Lis'sa steps crisply to the other side of the large stainless steel table.

[Yes, he catches that in Arthur's voice even before looking at his face.]
What about you? I can't imagine that you'd pass up the chance to wield another Excalibur either. Continue your reign as the ultimate killing machine.
no subject
[ He bumps his shoulder against Merlin's — while he's not holding the gun — and looks between the weapon and he. ]
One of the knights told me they were a coward's weapon.
[ Does he even need to make the joke? ]
no subject
[He doesn't even get a chance to finish his words of wisdom before Arthur's meaning sinks in.]
The only time you'll stop thinking I'm a coward is if I die. And who would look after you if I did that?
[Merlin looks over at him and grins, closing the case on the weapon.]
Besides, you know you're curious.
[He can see it in Arthur's eyes, the way he wants to master even the things he doesn't understand - especially the things he doesn't understand.]
no subject
All right, perhaps a little curious.
[ He's taking his own, after all — if nothing else because he has the impression people don't bring swords to a gunfight, so if he'd like to be able to combat all forms of warfare he's going to have to have a working familiarity with them. Whether or not he carries it in the longterm is another thing entirely. ]
And they gave you a card of credit?
[ Which in Arthur's mind is like a letter of credit, which for some reason he can't put his finger on, seems like an incredibly silly thing to put in Merlin's hands unless you suddenly want to be paying for 50 jars of pickled eggs. ]
no subject
[Merlin grins, clearly impressed by that.]
I wonder if they sell neckerchiefs here.
no subject
[ A glance. You know the type. ]
Though I'm not sure you really need more neckerchiefs.
[ If Buffy Summers is going to drag him kicking and screaming into the world of occasional modern clothing then Merlin had better believe he's coming too. ]
no subject
[He squints at Arthur, that metaphorical light bulb flickering on over his head.]
Isn't that what bears do to people?
[Which makes it even more appropriate.]
Anyway, I'd like a patterned one. Maybe one with different colors or...
[Merlin trails off, his eyes going wide and bright when he thinks of something.]
Oh! One with stars on it!
[Stop him.]
no subject
[ Not that he couldn't do both, now that he has a card with his name on it and money to burn. ]
Unless of course you're planning on defeating the enemies of the knights by looking completely ridiculous? It's not the worst plan you've ever come up with, if so.
no subject
What's wrong with my clothes? They are actual clothes. You make it sound like I'm running around naked.
[That's more your thing, Arthur. He looks down and brushes a hand against his purple shirt - his best shirt.]
Wouldn't say I look completely ridiculous.
[Though he doesn't look like anyone else, either.]
I don't suppose it would hurt to venture into one of those mall places. Unless there are actual bears there, in which case it might.
no subject
[ A grim mutter. Because really, Arthur owns some strange clothes, but even he doesn't wear purple. And he knows from experience how itchy and disgusting Merlin's shirts are. ]
Well I was going to have to bring you anyway, because I'm given to understand there'll be bags to carry. And I know you love carrying bags, don't you, Merlin?
[ A chipper smirk. ]
So you might as well make a few purchases of your own.
no subject
[He will buy something purple though. It's a good color for him.]
[And just wait until he sees the food court.]
You're not going to go trying on things all day, are you?
[Because he knows you can be picky about your clothes.]
no subject
[ A handwave. He doesn't even know what half the things she listed as what he should be wearing were. ]
It can't take that long, surely.
[ Probably the picture in his head of the mall isn't quite accurate. ]
no subject
[Merlin purses his lips together. Arthur's probably right. A girl surely can't have much interest in boys' clothing. How long could it possibly take?]
no subject
We'll have help. Not that I need it.
