[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.]

So you're gonna be like that? Even when silly things like the Black Family tree don't even exist here.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

You left of your own accord.

[Sharply.]

Don't pretend that you want anything to do with me anymore.

[siriuslymagical.livejournal.com]

I may have left on my own accord but...I asked you to come with me, didn't I?

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

How could you expect me to go with you?

[He shakes his head, his eyes narrowing.]

[siriuslymagical.livejournal.com]

I had to at least try before I left, give you the chance to leave if you wanted to. Because Merlin knows that you wouldn't ever leave on your own.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

How do you think I could?

[He's almost yelling now.]

Do you honestly think I'd ever fit in with your crowd? Where would I go? What would I do? You never think, Sirius, and-

[He stops suddenly, biting his lip and shaking his head.]

This isn't the time.

[siriuslymagical.livejournal.com]

Very easily! You could have just walked out of that damn house with me.

The Potters would have let both of us in! You might not get along with James and you might think the Potters are blood traitors, but they wouldn't have turned us away.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

No. Sirius. Shut up.

[He hisses it.]

I'm not doing this now.

[siriuslymagical.livejournal.com]

You know I'm right, Regulus. There's no point in denying it.

So what, you're just gonna ignore the subject?

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

I know you're incredibly stupid.

[He huffs.]

And I'm not talking about this right now.

[siriuslymagical.livejournal.com]

Well it must run in the family.

[The look of annoyance that is on Sirius' face? Also a Black family trait.]

What do you want to talk about then? Unicorns and pumpkin juice and other wondrous things like that?

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

I don't want to talk to you at all.

[siriuslymagical.livejournal.com]

Well isn't that the surprise of the century.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Sirius, I died two weeks ago.

[Between gritted teeth.]

I'm sorry if I don't feel like talking about why I didn't leave with you. There's a few other things on my mind.
