Third Floor Corridor, Wednsday Afternoon

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

Stepping cautiously out into the corridor, Arthur!Tim looked around. It was a very well kept castle from what he could see. Closing the door to the room behind him, he looked both right and left, not sure which way to go.

Open! Come talk to Arthur, King of the Britons!king of the who?

Anakin was up on the third floor, taking a break from brooding in his room sorting through his stuff meditating.

"Hello, Tim," he said, nodding his head as he passed.

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

Arthur!Tim blinked, surprised. "Tim?" he asked, speaking in a british...ish accent. "The Enchanter? He is here?"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin gave Tim a look. "Generally speaking, you wait for other people to give you nicknames. I wouldn't have jumped straight to 'the Enchanter' to describe you, either."

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

Arthur!Tim blinked in confusion for a moment. "I'm afraid Sirrah that you have me mistaken for someone else. Not surprising as I have run into a number of gentlemen, and ladies who bear a resemblance to me. Also to all my knights. I am Arthur, King of the Britons. Might I know your name? And tell me, do you live in this castle?" He might sound a little imperious, but he is king.

Anakin had been around Fandom for a long time, but diplomatic training kicked in first. He bowed his head. "I had no idea you went by a different name in your...official capacity, my lord," he said. Heck, if the politicians of Naboo did it, it might not be that unusual. "I'm still Anakin, though. I've been here since last September."

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

He smiled graciously. It appeared he may have met this young man once before. Whatever had caused his memory loss had apparently made him forget this as well.

"Ah, excellent Sir Anakin, then perhaps you can assist me. Where might I find the Lord of this Castle?" The boy carried himself like a knight, even if he dressed like a Cleric. Like Galahad perhaps.

"Master Skywalker, if you want to be formal," Anakin said, looking confused. "And Principal Washburn's in charge." He blinked slowly. "Everyone knows that. I mean, you weren't here for Principals Connor, Bristow, Smith, and Finn."

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

Strange titles to be sure, but Arthur had seen many strange things in his time. The Master title also intruiged him. That was usually reserved for a craftsman of somekind.

"Of course Master Skywalker." he amended. Interesting name. "So many...Principals, has this land been so contested then that power has changed hands so often?"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin snickered. "Not exactly," he said. "But with a school with such...special needs, it's hard to find the right kind of person to lead it. I guess."

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

A School? So this was a Monestary perhaps. The cleric dress made more sense now. This Anakin must be a teacher here.

"I see." Arthur!Tim said thoughtfully. His thumb was still hurting, but such a minor wound was nothing worth troubling over. "Where might I find Principal Washburn, Master Skywalker?"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"I'd imagine she'd be around her office," Anakin said. "Why?"

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

"I have been on a quest," Arthur!Tim replied. "I have ridden the land, in search of Knights to join me in my court at Camelot. I would speak with your Lo-*ahem* Principal, to invite him to join me."

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Camelot?" Anakin frowned. "In England? A few hundred years ago? I think I'd rather she stayed here, if you don't mind. It took us a while to find a good principal."

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

Again, blinking with surprise. Ah, and Abbey then. With male clerics? Most unusual. Perhaps he was in Eire. He'd heard they'd had strange way-

"Did you say a few hundred years ago?"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin nodded. "I studied it in my military tactics course last semester." He shrugged. "It's not a big deal, being from a different time. A lot of people in Fandom are."

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

Good heavens where had he ended up?! "Fascinating, if I may ask, what is the current year?" By Arthur's reckoning, it should be about handwavy A.D.

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"2006. At least according to this world's calendar," Anakin said.

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

"Incredible," he said, his voice holding an awe he'd only felt twice before. "How is this accomplished? What powerfull Wizard is responsible for it? Merlin?"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin shrugged. "It's just Fandom," he said. "If you try to figure out how people from so many different dimensions and planets got here, you get a headache."

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

Arthur!Tim thought he understood the boy's meaning. He'd felt the same way talking to some of the peasants in England.

"I see," he said thoughtfully. "Tell me, are there any Knights in this land good Master Skywalker? Or perhaps, with the time difference, perhaps you could instead tell me the best place to learn about this time?"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"I'm a Knight," Anakin said. "Well, I will be, anyway. But not one with clanking armor."

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

"It does tend to clank doesn't it." Arthur!Tim admitted. "You are a squire then? Who is your Master?"

Master, is a word which here means, occaisionally patronizing, long suffering teacher.

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"No, a Padawan," Anakin said, pulling at his braid. "My Master is Obi-Wan Kenobi, but he's not from around here."

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

He wasn't familiar with either the title of Padawan, or this Obi-Wan Kenobi. Must be Gaelic.

"Is teaching here part of your own training then?"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin shook his head. "No, he's back with the rest of the Jedi Knights on Coruscant. I'm going back next week."

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

Coruscant, perhaps an island off the coast. He sadly was not familiar with all of them. An oversight he shall have to remedy.

"I see. Very well then Master Skywalker, thank you for your assistance, I shan't keep you any longer. I must investigate this land further I think."

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin bowed his head. "Of course."

He walked off.

What a weirdo.
