[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 hope you know the little title "heir to the house of Black" really means a whole lot of nothing here.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm not going to go around introducing myself as your brother.

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

Glad you're feeling better.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

Hey, you were that girl- [He wasn't entirely conscious while talking to her. It's gonna take him a moment or two.]

[magicxmarker.livejournal.com]

Bro, what is a fellytone?

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

It's a muggle device. They use it instead of flooing.

[snarkypotions]

[Voice. Forever.]

'Telephone', Black. And stop shaking the blasted thing, you're giving me a headache.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

I can't see anything in the screen, Severus. How do you even-

[RAWER TECHNOLOGY Y U NO WORK]

[lmfao fullblooded wizards are hilarious.

Tom looks faintly amused.]

Settling in?

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[Tom didn't really tell him who he was, but did he expect him not to find out? Regulus watches him for a moment, before lowering his eyes respectfully. He knows. He's terrified. He doesn't know how to handle a seventeen year old Dark Lord.]

[Oh. She knows that name. It takes her a few moments to respond, but she'll eventually leave an amiable-enough voice message for him as she tries not to feel off about the fact that there's yet another dead wizard hereabouts.]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Black. My name is Hermione Granger. I attended Hogwarts and know your brother very well. I'm afraid that I can't be of much assistance in the magical vein of things, as I'm currently without a wand, but if you should ever need help or information about Adstringendum, don't hesitate to let me know. I'll either do what I can to help you, or find someone who can assist you.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

I don't recognize your name.

[Meaning that she's either not a pureblood or after his time- much likely the first, as she claims to have known his damned brother.]

You don't have a wand?

[wornlikeamane.livejournal.com]

[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.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

[Finally someone who answers his questions.]

I'd like that, thanks.

[Juliet will smile and give him a curtsy. He speaks a little like Sirius. Perhaps they're related.]

I am Juliet Montague. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Regulus Black.

[Oblivious to the confusion which might arise, given 'Montague' is a Wizarding name.]

You have heard of these before? I had never seen such like it when I arrived to this place. My ward used to call them 'TV phones', but the phrase is as foreign as yours.

As to the library, Lady Alexia Tarabotti keeps charge of it now.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

...Montague?

[He raises his eyebrows.]

And- no, I'm afraid this technology is after my time.

[doestheickyjobs.livejournal.com]

Sure, we can hear you. I don't think there's any libraries around, though! Tough luck.

[Not that he's certain; it's cold out. He avoids it as much as possible.]

Oh, and? Quit shaking that thing. You're going to make someone sick.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Why would that make someone sick?

[He tilts his head.]

[rhymebell.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm at the library right now, [A pause.]

Mister Black.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Oh- it's you.

[He remembers you.]

Hello.

[huntressrip.livejournal.com]

Oh ve can hear you alright~. I vas hoping zhat zhere vere no ozher Blacks.

[Seconds after she speaks, the video function comes on, revealing Rip tilting her head to the side even though her eyes are still completely bandaged. She's very much unaware that its not on.]

But it zeems zhat little hope haz been crushed~. Oh vell.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Trust me, I am nothing like my brother.

[Watching her for a moment, before looking away.]

[demnargles.livejournal.com]

You may wanna hold that still.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Hn. Noted.

[Grumbly. He's still having trouble with these things.]

[bunny_flower]

You look a lot better.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I had help.
