[Arthur Pendragon, prince of Camelot, is wearing a very wrinkled version of his usual shirt, and someone has done up the laces crookedly.
actually, he looks a general mess. he's clearly made the effort to appear slightly presentable--his hair has been recently smoothed down with some water, though not as flat as it usually might lay--but his shirt looks like it was trampled beneath a horse's hooves and the room that he's in is a little hazy with smoke from some old fire. or hopefully it wasn't an actual fire, because it was meant to be dinner.
but he's here to make an official announcement, and so he's composed himself as best as he can--all slightly rumpled clothing and bad hair and smudges on his face aside--and he stares grimly into the camera. this is a dare to anyone to comment, to make any smart remark.]
I must speak with the witch Morgana. She can deliver herself, but I do not expect her to come when she is called upon. If there is any of this city that knows her location, send word to me, and you will be rewarded.
[he's not learned how to send messages privately, so here it is, curt clipped, and that might be all there is to it, but then he glances away, his face tightening into a small glare.]
I would speak, too, with anyone that can be counted honest enough to make a delivery. Your reward will be a smaller sum, but your service will be counted valuable.
[without Merlin, what choice does he have? the smoke seems somewhat thicker in the room now, and it's a good thing you can't smell over the devices, because it would smell strongly of burnt food now. Arthur spares the air an irritated glance and now, finally, he reaches to flip off the video before this gets any worse.]
[[ any roommates, feel free to notice the smoke/horrible smells/et cetera! ]]

But I agree: this method does not encourage people to help them. Still the United Earth bombing this city with us in it did. A bit.
It's science. You might not understand it but it's how it works. Or maybe you think you're a creation too?

And a kingdom in need sends emissaries. You don't kidnap soldiers. There is no loyalty won by doing so, nor by force, nor by any means that they have tried. If they are able to send us home, then they should return those that wish to leave. Some of us have more important matters to attend to. I would give what aid to them I could, but the power of Camelot lies in more than a prince and two servants.

Yeah. Desperate people are known to do stupid things. [And the members of the Initiative look pretty desperate to her. Not to mention the stupid things they keep doing.]

Missions that are nothing to do with a war. What cause is furthered by traveling to some stupid town and influencing an election? [he could hardly stress that word with more disdain. elections, seriously. what's wrong with kings.] It's ridiculous, and furthermore, it's dishonest and dishonorable.

...Are you talking about elections or time travel missions when you say that?
