Would anyone know where I could find a vacant house? [Merlin pauses, drumming his fingers against the journal's pages.] This apartment is getting a little cramped--[and the next bit sounds rather forced, as though someone had expressly ordered him to say it:] It's not really up to snuff for a King of Camelot and his royal household.

[Merlin adds further complaint beneath his breath.] And I could do with not sleeping on a sofa. I told Arthur those things were bad for my back--and then he has the nerve to wonder why the washing's not been done.

[After this important request is dispatched, Merlin will be in the library. Having ducked out of dish duty, he sneaks his way out of the building and across the village with record time. The meeting on sorcery has truly rekindled a desire to learn previously subdued by Arthur's mortal peril and Uther's arrival.

Well into the evening (and with a lighted candlestick instead of electric lights), Merlin is tearing down many books on magic that he can find from the shelves. He scans most, but often becomes distracted by some of the lengthier descriptions of varieties in magic different from what he has known at home.

Anyone who comes by to also lurk in the library this evening may walk in upon a few of the spells he tries out. This may involve a few pages accidentally burning, or the sudden growth of a lilac bush on an empty chair.]

{ooc - out of character, we're looking at house #40 so if someone could steer him in that direction, that would be great!}

[ emony can't be of much help by way of suggesting housing, but the word "royal" does catch her attention and she can't help but inquire. she's spoken to merlin before, but she had no idea he had royal connections. ]

...royalty?

King... wait, you work for a king? Who's in the royal household? And, um, what building are you living in now? [ she'll get out the map and try to look for something close by, maybe... ]

[At home on a Saturday night Celty would be curled up on the couch with her laptop, watching television or maybe playing some video games with Shinra and being a sore loser. Here, none of that was possible. The journals were a poor substitute for the Internet and the Dollars site and there wasn't much in the town for her to explore.

So today, she is looking for books. When she starts wandering around the stacks, however, she gets the sense that something is off. Following her senses she steps around a shelf and comes across a young man... making a plant grow on a chair. Well.]

[ After spending time with Vyse in the clinic all day, Fina only has enough time to look in the library in the evening. Not fully comprehending the concept of ghosts and haunting, she does not find the sounds coming from deeper within the library that disturbing.

But she does want to find out what the strange noise is though and follows the sounds, but instead gets a shock when the page of a book catches fire and illuminates Merlin's face and ducks back behind the bookcase she wandered out from behind. ]

There's nothing open on the southwest side of the rivers. I don't think I've seen a vacant house out here for awhile.

[Presuming no one knows about all the disappearing people that would free up some houses.]

"Uther" is here now?

Is it really so much to ask that a servant does his job?

I see that you have finally taken the initiative.
