Who: Katie and anyone!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: 1st December
[Oh. Well, this is new.
The bunks are comfy enough, and it's not exactly the first time Katie has found herself in an unfamiliar place. (Is it Thursday?) But it is the first time she's woken up in one for a long time, and so she squints at the door for a long moment trying to remember what she was last doing.
Then she peels off the bunk, blanket and all, and shuffles her way out to explore. She's not particularly worried, and most confusion goes right out the window when she see the giant windows that let her see out into space because seriously. She rockets over, face smooshed against the glass. That's probably where anyone on the Marsiva can find her for a long time, because space. Spaaace. This is the best accidental visit ever.
Much later, she'll actually think to check the comms, and only when she goes looking for the one she's meant to have. She turns up on the feed still with the sheet half draped over her curls and her nose still a little red from her mushed space-watching, and addresses the network cheerfully in a British accent.]
I think I took a left turn. Are we really in space? That's not just a clever painting or something, is it? Does that mean there are spacesuits? Can I go out in it? Is anyone here that I know? And what buttons do I push to leave again? Not that I didn't turn up here on purpose, because I've always wanted to see space and I really can't jump that far. Oh, but I should probably make sure, so if you could help I'd be much obliged.
...oh, I need a sword, too. Mine ran away.
[Hello, I am nine and full of questions and lies. But genuinely, she is curious. Something is afoot.
(But space.)]

[Hiding, ah. Now that's not familiar at all.] You don't mind if people here know you're a wizard?
no subject
[ teasingly ]
no subject
But if they try, I'd stop them.
[From... all the way over here. On this ship she's stuck on. Somehow.]
no subject
[ amused ]
I'd happily sign up for your services, fair knight and scholar.
[ james is fairly certain he can fend off burnings, BUT ]
Luckily, though, most people here don't seem to care.
no subject
Well, it's always nice to meet people with open minds. Does anyone else practice magic the way you do?
no subject
[ poor remus being forced to tolerate him ]
Some people perform magic in a different way, but it's all the same thing, really.
no subject
[I am eternally curious.]
no subject
[ james shrugs. ]
It's all the same to me.
no subject
Do you ever make houses clean themselves? That's always fun.
no subject
[ quite an old one, and a very famous wizard in his world, but sure. ]
You can use certain incantations, but it's possible to do magic without them, but a bit harder -- and you've got to have magic to begin with. Not everybody's got it.
[ -- the last question, though, makes him grin. ]
And my mum does use magic to clean the house.
no subject
What if you have magic to begin with but it's not like your magic? Could you learn then?
no subject
[ with a shrug ]
I haven't tried, honestly.

no subject
[ lightly ]
We could have a proper magical sharing party and everything.
