Merlyn.

The Dark Archer.

[۟ @godsfell]

he’s the devil in disguise, a snake with blue eyes, and he only comes out at night.

[Merlyn. @DOOMOFOLIVER]

What if I told you there is an artifact capable of reproducing the Lazarus Pit's properties... Without devolving people to madness?

( a ghostly smirk touches his lips. )

I know where it is. More importantly, I know how to get it.

[Talia Al Ghul @poetryofswords]

You can’t fall from grace if you’re the heir to Hell.

(She’s unimpressed— glaring, and remaining in her passive position for now.)

But speak. I might be interested.

[Merlyn. @DOOMOFOLIVER]

should have a chat and fix this unpleasant situation.

[Merlyn. @DOOMOFOLIVER]

( He keeps one hand raised to chest level, palm outward in a show of docility, while the other almost certainly conceals an explosive arrowhead.)

I bet you fell from grace even harder than I did. The rightful heir to the family throne, outwitted by an outsider... I think we -

[Talia Al Ghul @poetryofswords]

(Arms crossed against her chest — a short blade hidden beneath her palm. Just in case.)

I could, perhaps, “off” you instead. And I’d ensure that “green puddle” could bring you back over and over again until I am bored of you.

[Merlyn. @DOOMOFOLIVER]

I'm the best frenemy you can ever dare hope for.

[Merlyn. @DOOMOFOLIVER]

@JadedArchery dodged that. You saw it coming. You had time to react, and you still let me hit you."

He spat. Looming over Oliver as though the man before him had become an insult to everything they had spent years proving to one another.

"Get your shit together. You look like a frail idiot."

[Merlyn. @DOOMOFOLIVER]

@JadedArchery Dark gloved fist drove into Oliver's temple with enough force to snap his head sideways. Predatory eyes followed his descent with irritation, his jaw flexed once, the muscle ticking beneath pale skin. Every inch of his posture radiated restrained violence.

"You should have -

[Merlyn. @DOOMOFOLIVER]

Nice story. Buy it for a copper in a nearby tavern.

[ᴿᵒʸ ᴴᵃʳᵖᵉʳ @r3dqu1v3r]

"Oh if I wanted to I could shoot you right in the eye. I'm just having a little fun right now"

[Merlyn. @DOOMOFOLIVER]

@JadedArchery - the fire escape. He approached with haste, expression deprived from any hint of empathy, though annoyance cracked beneath the surface.

"What the hell is the matter with you?"

[Merlyn. @DOOMOFOLIVER]

@JadedArchery - A third clipped the ear of another attacker, dropping him with a cry, followed by two more shafts that scattered the remaining men before they could draw another breath. The alley fell silent once again, broken only by groans and labored breathing.

The Dark Archer descended -

[Merlyn. @DOOMOFOLIVER]

Count Vertigo's latest formula. Potent enough to brainwash an entire city.

[𝓢hiva @HerFinalLesson]

"Such as?"

[Merlyn. @DOOMOFOLIVER]

( Lifts himself up on his elbows, a few coughs, and he's up. )

I don't see Ra's al Ghul's ring on your finger. Which means you still haven't offed the old man... or that damned green puddle ruined all the fun yet again.

[Talia Al Ghul @poetryofswords]

There’s a good, green answer to that. I would not count on it for yourself, however.

[Merlyn. @DOOMOFOLIVER]

Depends on what you require. I still have plenty of resources in Star City.

[𝓢hiva @HerFinalLesson]

Do you have anything useful for me today?

[Merlyn. @DOOMOFOLIVER]

Why? I was being genuine.

[𝓢hiva @HerFinalLesson]

Debating on breaking you in four different places right now.

[Merlyn. @DOOMOFOLIVER]

( Tumbles down the stairs and plops down. Old and ready to go.)

Why can't you Al Ghuls just stay dead...

[Talia Al Ghul @poetryofswords]

No. (Already kicking him in the chest with all her strength.)

[Merlyn. @DOOMOFOLIVER]

Dead. Good to hear you've finally managed to break the ice.

[𝓢hiva @HerFinalLesson]

Stubborn, more cooperative than before so to speak. Tommy?

[Merlyn. @DOOMOFOLIVER]

Okay, just hear me out before you do something rash-

[Talia Al Ghul @poetryofswords]

Missed me?
