[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 don't want to associate with your lot.

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

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

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.

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

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...

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

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.

...Merlin?

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.

...I don't want to hear about it.

[Except he kind of does because HOLY SHIT MERLIN WHAT.]

Of course not, since Merlin would be considered one of "my lot", wouldn't he?

Of course he wouldn't. He was a Slytherin.

Yeah, yeah, don't I know it.

But he was also an acquaintance of mine. Would you really have wanted to associate with him?

I didn't know him.

But clearly I did.

[He rolls his eyes.]

I don't care to know how.

Well then, it's your loss really.

I'm devastated.

[Sarcasm.]

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

Is there a point to you talking to me?

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?
