[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.]

[siriuslymagical.livejournal.com]

And why not? I'm such a wonderful person to be around and people knowing your my little brother might get you a few playmates.

[magicxmarker.livejournal.com]

Bro, what is a fellytone?

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

I don't want to associate with your lot.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

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

[siriuslymagical.livejournal.com]

What's wrong with my lot? I'd say that they're far better than the lot you stuck with back at Hogwarts.

[magicxmarker.livejournal.com]

Okay, you lost me on "Muggle" and "Flooing". That kind of sounds like a disease.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

That's because you're a disgrace and you're drawn to similar people. Probably because they make you feel better about yourself.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

...right.

[Talking to a muggle. This is a bit like talking to an alien. Mum didn't let him socialize with them much.]

Flooing is talking through fire.

[siriuslymagical.livejournal.com]

You make it sound like all my friends are just clones of myself. As much fun as that would be, that's hardly the case.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Merlin, I hope not. Even the multiverse could only stand one of you.

[magicxmarker.livejournal.com]

Really? That's kinda cool...do you use magic for that or..?

[Not totally a muggle, at least, Reg.]

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

You use floo powder. It's got magical properties.

[magicxmarker.livejournal.com]

What if you don't have like, a fire place? That seems kind of inconvenient...

[siriuslymagical.livejournal.com]

Knew him for a bit too, at least for a while. I'm still not happy with the little marriage thing that happened between us...

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

[Then you're poor and nobody wants to talk to you anyway.]

Fireplaces are everywhere.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

[What are you even talking about anymore. He's just going to stare at you.]

[siriuslymagical.livejournal.com]

It was an event, it that makes you feel better. Made me think I was married to Merlin for a week and he thought the same about me.

[magicxmarker.livejournal.com]

Well not really. I mean, some people have gas heating, oil heating, and electric heating and what ever else you wanna use.

[Oh shush, Electric and oil are expensive. But you're right. Hanna has none of those, so.]

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

...Merlin?

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Electric heating?

[WHAT ARE ALL THESE HEATING MECHANISMS. Oh god how do people live without magic.]

[siriuslymagical.livejournal.com]

Yes Merlin. The Merlin.

Wasn't a bad marriage, looking back, except the fact that I was married to a bloke and not a girl. That's probably the thing I would change if I could.
