Who: Hermione & you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide text.
Action: The Marsiva.
When: Now?

[ after she wakes up and orients herself, hermione spends quite a long time standing in front of the marsiva's massive windows. her arms wrap tight around her middle as she stares out into the void. if she looks a little overwhelmed, that's because she is. things back home aren't exactly great at the moment and now this.

once her legs get tired, she heaves a great sigh and walks over to a network station. it takes her a little while and quite a bit of backspacing before she's satisfied with her message and sends it off to the rest of the fleet. ]

I'm looking for anyone familiar with magic or, more specifically, the name 'Hogwarts.' Please reply to this if you recognize it. Thank you for your time.

— H. Granger

I'm not actually all that familiar with magic, and I haven't heard of Hogwarts, but if you have other questions I might be able to help. This probably isn't what you expect...

- Nova

action, if that's okay!

[actsmagnificent]

[ Someone is watching Hermione watch space. And after a period of observation, Haruka sees fit to step out into the hallway and join her. ]

It doesn't change if you stare at it.

[librarial]

I'm not sure where to begin with all my other questions, honestly. There's a lot of them.

[takeabow]

Yeah, I know. I've been here for months.

totally okay!!

[librarial]

Oh! [ hermione jumps, startled by haruka's voice. ]

That's... really real, then? It's not a painting or a picture of some sort?

[librarial]

How many months, if you don't mind my asking?

[takeabow]

Four? Something like that. And I was somewhere else before here.

:)

[actsmagnificent]

We might be worse off if it were. [ This way, presumably, they know one of the tenets they are told upon arrival is true: they are In Space. ]

This your first time out here? [ As if all kinds of people have gone to space before. Why not. ]

[bb_wolf]

Depends on what you mean as familiar with magic.

[librarial]

There are other places like this?

[librarial]

Do you mean 'here'-- [ she waves a hand behind her at the ship ] Or 'here?' [ then waves that hand at the void. ]

The answer's yes either way.

[takeabow]

Not in space...

It's pretty complicated.

[librarial]

Someone who has used it before and/or could have a fairly in-depth discussion about it.

[bb_wolf]

I can talk magic, but I can't cast it.

Only thing I know about hogwart is that it's toxic as fuck if you eat it.

[theshabbiestofmen]

I graduated from Hogwarts in 1977, in fact. I'm not familiar with your name, but it's not as if I'm a walking register for names. Remus Lupin. Welcome to this odd little adventure of ours.

[delincuente]

Dude, Hermione?!

[She's guessing there isn't another H. Granger from Hogwarts, but she could always be wrong. Either way, she's excited to see her old acquaintance.]

Please tell me you remember a place called Cair Paradisa.

[actsmagnificent]

[ Precision's valued, huh. Poor girl is talking to the wrong person. Haruka chuckles and keeps staring out into nothingness. ] You don't look awed.

[reconstitution]

There are a few around here who know magic. The name sounds familiar, but nothing more.

[resnipstance]

Sorry, I don't know anything about magic. But I know plenty about the Force, which some people call magic, I guess?

I haven't heard of Hogwarts either. Sorry I can't be of more help.

- Ahsoka Tano.

[redactions]

Not extremely familiar with how it works, but magic exists in my world.

Never heard of Hogwarts.

[ He hasn't read the books yet. ]

[enshields]

[He's not one for digital interactions. Too easily tracked, manipulated and tabulated. But there's no form of conversation here that's truly private, so he htrows a lifetime's worth of suspicion to the wind. Best he can do is just not give Atroma what they want, but not at the expense of people who're lost or hurting.

So he's brusque, but well-meaning in his reply,]

Familiar with magic, don't use it myself. Not acquainted with Hogwarts.

[Okay, Nightingale has her attention caught at "magic". She loves magic, being the nerd that she is. Then she sees the name Hogwarts, and the name at the bottom, and she practically leaps up in joy. She forgoes text, replying in video and looking absolutely thrilled.]

Rosella! When did you get here?! Where are you now, I'll come see you!

[Honestly, this reaction would probably be just as weird to the real Rosella, but it's been so long, Nightingale would be happy to see any teammate right now.]

[librarial]

Is anything about this not complicated?

[librarial]

I think I'm still in shock. [ her mind is skipping like a broken record, stuck on this shouldn't be possible. ]

[librarial]

I meant the school, actually, not the plant. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
