A Wizard's Welcome [Open]
Character(s): Merlin [open but can just be a narrative]
Content: The wizard Merlin arrives a little earlier than he had intended
Setting: Joutenheim
Time: Week 2, afternoon
Warnings: none
This was certainly not where Merlin had anticipated arriving when he had left Radiant Garden on vacation. No, certainly not, he had been planning to go to that world that had Bermuda, the sea and the sun and no mess. Apparently the universe had other plans for the wizard though. With a magical poof the wizard changed out of his vacation clothes and back into his blue robes and hat and looked up at the large gate that encompassed his vision, two great giants with their clubs crossed at the top was the focus of the gate and a small line was extending towards him from it. This was all very familiar and caused Merlin to wonder if this wasn't the place he was supposed to come to later rather than sooner. Maybe, he was remembering the vision wrong...after all he had been off on his predictions before.
"Hmph, well, at least I was packed for travel," he grumbled, hefting his carpet bag and stalking towards the entrance. After all, no point in waiting outside when he knew his services were likely required inside. Merlin quickly gathered up the brochure's giving information about this place, Paixao apparently, and tucked them away for later reading. When he turned again he was greeted by a gentlemen who asked for his name. The wizard stood a little straighter, "Merlin. I am Merlin." He sounded it out so that the person would understand quite clearly, after all, he'd had some problems in the past with someone's pronunciation.
An electronic device was offered to him and he accepted it a little begrudgingly. He immediately began to look it over, examining the surface and all the various buttons on it. "My, this is certainly a strange little contraption. It appears to be similar to some of the stuff Cid fiddles with." Merlin was never very agreeable with technology, in his opinion it made things too eay and people relied on it far too much...like magic. He tucked this away with the brochures, "Now, lad, can you direct me to the nearest living quarters...I would like to have a room before night fall if you would be so kind."

Aimlessly approaching one of the cities gates, he began to observe the statues surrounding it. One thing no one could complain about was Paixao’s artwork; it was beautiful regardless how you looked at it.
“Ho, ho, ho~!” he laughed in a heavy French accent, rubbing a long, curly moustache that had appeared on his face. “Ce magnifique! Such craftsmanship, il est beau. Je l'aime! A wonderful medium for a wonderful piece!”
Moving to the next statue, he continued to rub his moustache. However, on the way, something happened to catch his eye. Something – or rather, someone he had not been expecting to see. Doubtful of his eyes, he quickly flew behind a statue closer to the blue robed man, peeking out from behind it.
Why, it couldn’t possibly be the Great Merlin, could it? He had heard him mention the name to the gate guard, but it was very likely a coincidence... Or was it?
“Do thy old ears deceive me?” he spoke up, wobbling toward the wizard in the form of an elderly man. He stopped before him, clutched his walking cane tightly and rubbed his own beard -thugh it was nowhere as long as the Merlin’s. Avoiding suspicion, the only blue that remained in his appearance was his eyes. “Did you say that your name was Merlin? The very same Merlin to advise the Great King Arthur?”
