It was busy in Camelot's central marketplace. Alongside a few of the palace maids, Merlin had been sent to pick a few bits and pieces up from the marketplace. He had the long list written on a piece of parchment that he had tucked into his belt. He unravelled it now, his eyes scanning down the list and then back up at the stalls.
Following the maids who were buying wares for their ladies, he seemed to have wandered into a particularly feminine section of stalls sporting jewellery and material for dresses. He needed scrubbing brushes, several different sorts of herbs for Gaius and a jar of honey that the prince had requested for breakfast the next day...
Merlin began to back away from the material stalls. Not looking where he was going, he tripped over somebody's foot and lurched forward, almost falling over but grabbing onto a passing woman for support. The onions he had already purchased rolled out of the sack and across the floor where many pairs of booted feet were still treading.
"Oh no!" he cried, dropping to the floor and trying to gather them up again.

Sounds like a good idea! We might have to work out people's different time zones though... I think half of our members are British and half American?

Merlin considered Legend's question. "Well, many of the accomplished magicians can be found here at the Guild, but you see, Guild training can take place anywhere in the kingdom, so training magicians can be found all over the place. There are the druids, who live in the forests that surround Camelot. They don't train through the Guild, but they are all with magic..." Merlin smiled reassuringly, "I'm sure you'll meet some of the fellow magicians on your travels around Camelot, sorry I can't be more specific!"

Accepted! Celta looks like a really well thought out character, and your sample roleplay was very enjoyable to read as well. Welcome

"Of course." Merlin replied with a smile. White magic was very useful to the kingdom, and many of the White Guild Magician's were awarded high positions in the court when they achieved the position of mage.
"I'd be happy to have you Legend. You can begin training as soon as you wish."

"Pleased to meet you Legend..." Merlin replied to the man's greeting, extending a hand to shake but withdrawing it quickly as a book flew across the room into Legend's hand. Merlin took the offered book from him with a grin. "I assume you wish to register with the Guild." He placed the book on the desk beside him and began filling out the customary form. Legend's display of magic seemed to be telekinetic, but Merlin didn't like to assume.
"And which band of magic to you wish to train in?" He asked.

Deadlines are basically over for me now. Starting to get all Christmassy, so will maybe be starting a few festive threads within the next week... Keep an eye out!
Also welcome to all of our new members, feel free to PM either myself, Arthur, Morgana, Morgause or the Dark Knight with any questions you have!

Merlin was surprised that Arthur didn't even raise his voice; he must have been having a serious conversation with the woman before him. He moved toward the table as Arthur sat, but as Raven requested a bowl of water, he gave a curt nod and turned to the door instead. He hadn't a clue what was going on, but Arthur was (usually) a good judge, and if he thought this was important then Merlin would do what he could to help. Besides, he could directly disobey orders, he was a servant after all...
Merlin disappeared from the room immediately, treading the familiar path down to the servants' quarters; he returned within minutes with a brass dish of water and placed it on the table, then stood back, waiting to understand just what was happening.

Merlin watched Chase's outburst sadly. He had never meant to humiliate Chase; it would have been better to have spoken to each mage individually. Hindsight is a powerful thing...
Still, Chase's emotional reaction convinced him that he had done the right thing. Someone whose job it would be to negotiate and tune into other people's emotions had to be emotionally controlled themselves, and Chase, whilst powerful, was certainly fired up.
Merlin cleared his throat.
"Dreamer, don't worry, he'll come round. I'm sorry that it had to be announced in this way, I know this has driven the wedge between you further apart. But, I know you'll do me proud. I'll meet with you later at the Guild to sort out the paperwork."
Merlin had duties at the castle to attend to, whilst his two best mages were sometimes very difficult to work with, it was a problem he would have to address at a later date.
"Oh and Dreamer, I'd watch your back. Chase doesn't threaten lightly."
Merlin shook his head, he hated to have to warn one Guild member against another. He hoped his youngest mage wouldn't do anything rash...
