More notes, la.

[gramarye1971]

Notes have been left with the bar for Archie, Ako, and Amy, re: the Wellard-Norrington fracas.

Though the slowtimes with Jack and Nita aren't finished yet, Merriman will probably want to talk to any and all of his correspondents as soon as possible (before word gets round, or before rumours start up over Wellard and Norrington's absence). I'll do my level best to be around and available tomorrow in the afternoon and/or evening for threading and all. Queries or concerns?

It appears that Mister Wellard has run into difficulties once again.

There's a really lovely understatement to that line. Has Merriman ever considered pinning his phone number to Wellard's sweater before letting him out into the world?

I'm going to be on very sporadically in the coming days, and probably not at all on weekday evenings, but I should be around this (Tuesday) afternoon. Perhaps the best thing is to just let Merriman tag the post in which Amy gets the note, even if we miss each other in real time, and slowtime the whole thing it if we have to. Does that work?

It would probably save him the time (not that he needs it) of making Lost and Found posters.

LOST
One Midshipman
Answers the the name Henry Wellard
Young and dark haired
Is no boy, nor scarecrow
If found, please return to one Merriman Lyon
or the Lost and Found box behind the Bar.

Maybe Merriman could just have signs mass printed and ready to post at a moment's notice?



. . . and now there's a part of me that wants to see these up in the bar. *sigh*

Or possibly one of those posters with stars and moons on it, thus:

LOST CAT

HAVE YOU SEEN WELLARD?

A bit unconcerned with his personal safety but we LOVE HIM.

(Utterly off topic, but I have to share:

I'm currently assembling a list of sources my students can use for their final Arthurian lit paper. Just came across the following:

Merriman, James Douglas. The Flower of Kings: A Study of the Arthurian Legend in England Between 1485 and 1835. Lawrence: University of Kansas Press, 1973.)

Because I could NOT resist

[gramarye1971]

And here I was trying to figure out how Merriman would best put it in a tactful fashion. Because it's really honestly not Wellard's fault that he's a lightning rod a magnet all too often caught up in confrontations of this nature. *pets the poor boy*

Also! Question. The knife-wound did look as though it was an accidental or self-defensive wound, right? After all that discussion we had on making it look like an accident?

And the headwound could very well look like he hit his head on the corner of the table as he fell, or something...

There has to be some mystery, after all.

[gramarye1971]

Definitely accidental on the knife-wound, or at least that's not out of the realm of definite possibility. Merriman's suspicious about the head wound, but it could be argued that a fall would have caused it. I mean, he's going to suspect the Dark anyway, but he'd have to agree that with no real means of proving anything...yeah, it's open to interpretation that the whole thing was accidental.

[adiva_calandia]

Canonically, Nita can pick up some sense of a wound's infliction (is that a word?) while she's healing, so she can tell that it wasn't quite accidental. She can't sense anything specific enough to finger Blackie, or clear Wellard.

Of course, while her word is good, she can't corraborate anything -- the wounds are gone, the room's cleaned up, and she couldn't sense anything specific magically.

Aaanyhoo. *looks over Merriman-Nita* I don't think any information has been passed that is going to ruin the mystery, and I'll check myself. :)

Nope. It's his mun's. *cheerful*

Also, *facepalm* Really, its not his fault. And for this, I totally blame Saph and Kate. *cheerfully*
