MERLIN (1998)

Oc posting again - a quick sketch of the girls

Lucy is a writer of this stage play we call reality, which makes her very powerful (basically a god)… if it weren’t for the fact she is terrible at making allies and most of the staff are bitter exes of hers. It’s gotten so bad she was banned from the writer’s room and has to go on stage (live among us humans) and script doctor her way to make our reality gradually improve itself and work up to a good ending. This is why she’s assisted by two former actors (humans), Mephie and Nic, who she promoted to writerdom. These two also have to contend with Lucy’s many failed relationships, up to and including Queen Mab, who runs the costume department… and when you even managed to fumble her, you really got a problem.

As bad as Lucy is, she’s still in better standing with Queen Mab and Oberon (who run the costume and makeup department, respectively) than with anyone else. So when she needs extra help in altering and rewriting characters she comes to them (reluctantly).

As a little bonus and a repost of something I’ve posted here before - the main crew that manipulates our reality and make sure everything moves smoothly - from the light of the sun to the motion of the planets to how we die - are called the stage hounds (they’re unionised)

I'm back. Name intact. And alive. Mostly.

Queen Mab brought me to the execution of the Wandsman of Kul-Manas in chains, luckily my father spotted us and confronted her. She apologized profusely. To my father. Not to me. What I get for being the least known child. She cracked my mask too.

Anyway, the Wandsman got off easy because the royalty of Kul-Manas got involved. I didn't pay attention to the details but he got 20 lashes instead of execution.

I'm Cassilda by the way. My official title is The Poet, though. Figured I should actually introduce myself.
