[Guess who is a little less waterlogged and a little further away from dying now? Regulus Black looks at the screen with a faint bit of apprehension as he fiddles with it, his lips pressed tightly together. He's still wearing his old fashioned wizarding robes, but they're much drier than last time.]

...right, [he mutters to himself,] like a fellytone.

[Regulus clears his throat.]

My name is Regulus Arcturus Black, heir to the house of Black. I'm afraid my introduction to this city was a bit not good- I'm fine now.

[Pause. He's not sure what to say next.]

Can anyone even hear me? [Regulus shakes the PCD, hard. Be nice, it looks like something completely alien- not only is he a wizard from a family that condones muggle appliances, but he's also from the seventies. Stuff this small and advanced wouldn't exist for at least thirty to forty years.] I'm trying to find the library or- something else worth doing in this place. If anyone can point me in the right direction- well.

[He gives the PCD another shake, frowning. In his shaking, his hand hit the button and he accidentally shuts off the feed.]

I can tell by the look on your face, Reggy. Heartbroken, clearly.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Hm.

[It does, but he's not dumb enough to let a good resource to to waste.]

If you would send it to me, I'd appreciate it.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Is there a point to you talking to me?

[siriuslymagical.livejournal.com]

Hey, you're the one who made the post to the network, not me. I have every right to respond to a public post, if I want.

And what if I just missed talking to my darling little brother?

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Don't call me that.

[They're not related anymore. >:( ]

[The word 'fellytone' pinged her first as that is what she thought it was at first as well. Then the name 'Black' seals the deal - another pureblooded wizard who didn't have a clue with this device, just like her.]

I walked past the library the other day, actually. I could show you if you like.

[magicxmarker.livejournal.com]

Sweet, Reggy it is.

[And yes, he knows he didn't ask if he could call you Reggy, but thats okay. Its Hanna.]

Well, its exactly how it sounds. I investigate paranormal activity. Solve cases, all that good stuff. Like, for example, if you have a friend who was murdered and became a ghost and is going crazy, I help figure out who dunnit, if you catch my drift.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

[Finally someone who answers his questions.]

I'd like that, thanks.

[Either he's antisocial, or he's made it clear that her blood status bothers him, and so her following text message is fairly terse.]

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Regulus.

[A pointed look.]

That seems like something an Auror would handle.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[A pause.]

What happened to yours, then? Your wand?

[wornlikeamane.livejournal.com]

Where are you now? I'll come and find you.

[magicxmarker.livejournal.com]

[Yup. Ignoring it.]

I have no idea what an Auror is, but its kinda my job to handle. People don't tend to pay well for it though which sucks...but at least I know I'm doing the right thing. And thats what counts.

[bookish-lioness.livejournal.com]

[There's the slightest pause before she decides that there's no harm in telling the truth, at this rate.]

Death Eaters decided it would be easier to torture me if they took my wand from me first.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Depends. I don't even know your name.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

...ah.

[That awkward moment when you're a Death Eater.

He pauses for a moment, uncomfortably, before sighing.]

I should probably go.

[wornlikeamane.livejournal.com]

Ginny Weasley.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Sounds rather thankless.

[He shrugs.]

Do you do the same here?

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

[He scoffs at the name. Wandless and pretty much friendless, he was at a disadvantage no matter which way you cut it. But Weasleys typically weren't as axe-crazy as other families he knew- she probably wouldn't attack him.]

...very well. I'm at [x,y]. Don't try anything funny.

[magicxmarker.livejournal.com]

Well, if you think about it like its charity, it doesn't sound so bad. And on top of that I do get paid a little. I'm just thankful for yanno, my apartment, even if it is kind of shitty.

But, yeah. I kind of do. My services are open anyways...And i'm kind of in the middle of a previously closed case, but I can take up another one if you had something in mind.

[bookish-lioness.livejournal.com]

[That awkward moment when you know you've made the other person uncomfortable, and you don't know whether to be glad about it or to apologize.]

If you wish. My offer still stands, if you find yourself in need of assistance.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[He's sort of intrigued, but more than anything, he just wants to wash his hands of this whole thing and stop thinking about it.]

See you around.

[utilizing the program Raven gave her, she turns the feed unhackable]

Why would I attack you? We're related at some level.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

I don't. But- thanks for the offer.

[He guesses. This guy is weird.]

What are you investigating now?

[bookish-lioness.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

[The feeling is very much mutual, Reg.]

I'm sure you will.
