[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.]

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.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

I don't want to associate with your lot.

[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.

[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.

[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.

[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]

[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.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

...Merlin?

[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.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

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

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

[siriuslymagical.livejournal.com]

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

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

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

[siriuslymagical.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah, don't I know it.

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

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

I didn't know him.

[siriuslymagical.livejournal.com]

But clearly I did.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

[He rolls his eyes.]

I don't care to know how.

[siriuslymagical.livejournal.com]

Well then, it's your loss really.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

I'm devastated.

[Sarcasm.]

[siriuslymagical.livejournal.com]

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

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Is there a point to you talking to me?

[siriuslymagical.livejournal.com]

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?

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Don't call me that.

[They're not related anymore. >:( ]

[siriuslymagical.livejournal.com]

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