Who: Remus Lupin
Broadcast:
When: January 14th, early evening
[Remus sits on the floor in James' room, back against the bed, holding the communicator in one hand. The other is tangled in his hair; he pushes his hand through the tangled curls again and again throughout this little speech. Still, he smiles pleasantly enough. This first part is easy, after all.]
Right, hello. My name is Remus Lupin, I've been here a few months, and I've noticed a bit of a trend among those taken. There's quite a few of us with-- well, abilities, for lack of a better word. Abilities that most human beings don't have. They vary, of course, but-- it's an odd consistency. I've met more people with magic than I usually do in a year. Something to think on, perhaps.
In any case: even if it's a meaningless connection-- something that has no significance beyond sheer entertainment value-- I'd be interested to hear what everyone can do. Whether you call it magic or alchemy or even if it's-- god, I don't know, if you have a talent for juggling, I'd be interested. I want to know more about what kind of company I keep.
[His smile fades, now, and he hesitates visibly.]
For example, I, ah. I'm a wizard. Wand and all. I can do magic, which means anything from transfiguration to charms to knowing what plants to use to brew a good cold remedy. It's hardly infallible, but it's certainly useful. And, ah . . .
I'm a werewolf as well. The sort that only changes once a month. It's lasted here, but I seem to have control over it. I take quite a few precautions, so-- so it won't be a problem. I'm not the only werewolf here, nor the only other supernatural creature, but--
[He shrugs. His face is pale, now, the little scars standing out sharply against his skin-- but he forces himself to keep talking.]
I'm used to keeping it a secret at home. And I'm sure others are as well. So I suppose this is a . . . a way to let everyone know. Even if they don't want to tell anyone else, they know they're not alone.
[His mouth twists in a wry smirk.]
That, and I'm tired of keeping it a secret.

[But she will be waiting in the Caprine kitchens, with Mystery Booze.]

[He calls that as he beams over, a little smile on his face. In person, he'll be able to see the way he's gnawed down his fingernails, the way his hair is messed from his hand mussing it all the time.]
Hallo. Is it still moonshine if you don't brew it near a planet or moon at all?
no subject
Moonyshine. I haven't actually brewed it, I made a little trade with the pub. It's for a good cause, I said, and that was not enough! No one has any heart anymore.
no subject
[He never should have revealed that nickname.]
What did you trade, then?
[He settles in, ignoring his mussed hair in favor of taking one of the cups.]

[A WHOLE NEW WORLD IS OPENED UP TO HER.]
It smells a little like it could strip paint, but I thought you might not be picky.
no subject
[He says it cheerfully and offers a cup.]
Go on, then.
