Who: James Potter (the great and magnifcent).
Broadcast: Fleetwide, from the Marsiva.
Action: Anybody on board the Marsiva!
When: Evening, 9/3.

[James is a tad bit irritated.

For one, he's in space, on a spaceship, something he didn't realize was possible until about fifteen minutes ago. Waking up in a strange location is terrifying enough, but waking up in a strange impossible location is worse. He wandered around a bit, trying to find his friends, his professors, his bloody castle.

That had all been in vain, so have one [1] James Potter, with ridiculously tousled hair, Hogwarts robes, round glasses, and a remarkably unflappable tone.]

Bit of a ridiculous stretch for a beginning of the year prank, yeah?

[He almost sounds hopeful, but James isn't stupid, and he at least has the common decency to avoid the stupid questions ("How are we not suffocating in space?" "How can I fly this thing?"), instead focusing on the completely asinine.]

I hope one of you is open to forging a letter of absence to a one Professor Minerva McGonagall. Make sure it includes that it is definitely not James Potter's fault -- quote that bit -- and that I valiantly resisted any attempted kidnappings with bravery.

[Sounds right.]

Kind of depends on the planet you're from. Maybe on your planet. [Something about his attitude...]

Okay, so you can do magic stuff? That's cool. No fucking idea what a Gryffindor is. I'm retired now, but I was lieutenant of Wrath platoon in Ghost Wolf Company, mobile infantry, Proles Army.

[Do not even attempt to fuck with her, kid.]

I know what unicorns are. And I'm pretty fucking sure Vanyel's not a virgin. Sometimes a talking horsey is a talking horsey. There's also a non-telepathic talking horse around, and he's definitely not a unicorn. His name is Cheese Sandwich.

And to answer your question, yeah you can go to school for art. I never did, though. I don't think.

[misterprongs]

[Magic stuff.]

I'm a wizard -- Gryffindor is a house you're sorted into when you arrive at the school on your first day.

--and I'm pretty sure the whole 'virgin' thing's a myth.

[just saying]

But I'll keep in mind not to mess with you, Lieutenant Ghost Wrath Proles.

[xo]

[pain_train]

Oh god, you didn't have a house before you went to school? That's so sad!

How do you know?

I'm retired, so I'm just Wrath.

[misterprongs]

The unicorns 'round Hogwarts wander up to anyone if you're calm enough, but they like women a bit more than men, for some reason.

[And James doubts they're all virgins, ok.]

I've got a house, but I don't live there the majority of the year -- and Miss Wrath it is.

[pain_train]

Girls tend to smell better. Or maybe they like boobs? [Possible. Boobs are kind of nice.]

Oh. Because you're living in your house at your school? [Weird school.] Just Wrath, okay?

[misterprongs]

[James offers a snort of laughter (because, hey, maybe both are true), but perhaps wisely chooses not to comment.]

Right -- it's a boarding school, so I'm there September through June.

[pain_train]

I didn't know that was a thing. Guess maybe it's an old Earth thing. Or a district one thing. I don't know how they do shit. So what do you do the other months?

[misterprongs]

I go home to my parents.

[Easily.]

Typical summer holiday, I suppose.

[pain_train]

I guess?

[Summer holidays. Not a thing she can recall doing.]

That's a... Really looking holiday. Ask the ones back home are only like a day long? Except gift giving days. That's like a week and it's super expensive. But fun if you have lots of friends.

[misterprongs]

Our summer holidays are a few months long, actually, but we have some holidays that are a day or two. -- What's the occasion for gift-giving days, then? Sounds a bit like Christmas.

Oh my goodness, so sorry for all the swype errors in that last tag

[pain_train]

What do you do with such long holidays though? [She's having a hard time grasping this.] Don't you get bored?

I think Christmas is part of it. And Festivus. And. Um. Kwanza? It's a bunch of different special days rolled up together. They decorate the city and have a big street party.

bahaha no worries

[misterprongs]

Spend time with family -- holiday. I'm on a local sport team during the summer to keep my skills honed, so. I keep busy.

Re: bahaha no worries

[pain_train]

Oh, family. [Like it's a concept she's heard of, but doesn't have personal experience with.]

What kind of sport? Like the game where you have the grenade and play hot potato with it? Or bullet tag?

[misterprongs]

It's called Quidditch.

[With the tone of HOW COULD YOU NOT HAVE HEARD OF QUIDDITCH :(]

It's... -- do you have football? Or rugby?

[Lily has told him it's a bit like that, but on broomsticks. With more violence.]

[pain_train]

I haven't heard of that. Um. But you should tell me the rules and I bet we could figure out a way to play something like it here! Sports are super fun

Uh. We do like. Light cycle racing and murderball?
