Merlin Dialog Easter Eggs

posted by Ginger at 10:26 AM, May 11, 2004 | Filed under : NPCs | Comments and Followups

One of the things I enjoy about writing Merlin is putting easter eggs into his dialog for GM amusement. For instance, there was this exchange in the last post round:

Merlin swallows. “I agree. I have not done very well. I should have listened more to our father while he was telling me what to do. I will do it better if I redo it.”

Celina smothers the disappointed face that reflects the thought of Merlin never giving the shadows another try.

Celina missed the point, which I expected. Merlin didn’t mean “if I ever walk in shadow again”. He meant “if I turn back time and try to fix my error”. Chaosi are like that sometimes.

Merlin is adorable.

And disturbing in an endearing sort of way. If Jovian (no stranger to pissing in the time stream himself) heard Merlin being that casual about it, he'd have an aneurysm....

Jovian simply must meet Clarissa, some time.
