[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.]

Want to do something together?

[He raises his eyebrows.]

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

Sure. Any ideas?

I'm scavenging for food perpetually, but I've also been considering trying to kill one of these fucking rabbits, trying to make a local flag and motto for the city, going on a rogue graffiti streak and painting nihilistic quotes on peoples doors, or possible constructing a home made scrabble set.

...I don't have my wand with me, so killing is a bit far-fetched, but I don't think I'm above a little vandalism.

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

Well, then we definitely have to hunt something. I mean, if you've lost something you're used to having, you have to adjust, right?

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

I'd rather not.

[He frowns.]

I'll- figure out a way to get a new wand soon.

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure people have been trying, without much success.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

I'll take one, then.

[Quietly.]

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

Dude. Don't broadcast that.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[._.]

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

I mean the only way to effectively steal shit is not to yell it from the parapets.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

I... wasn't.

[He still doesn't understand technology well.]

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

Everyone can see this.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[He frowns.]

Thanks for letting me know.

Now we're covered.

In terms of things to do, why don't you come over here so I can teach you the PCD?

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Severus has given be the basics, but-

[He was never the easiest teacher to work with.]

Where are you?

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

I'm out walking- wanna meet by the clinic?

[private: unhackable]

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Alright- I can do that.

[He nods.]

Give me ten minutes to get there.

[private: unhackable]

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

Cool, see you soon.

[He'll be wandering by the clinic then- shivering in the snow, but much less wet and rasping since the first time they spoke.]

[She meets him, bundled up warm and smoking.]

[He raises an eyebrow at that.]

Hey.

Regulus, right?
