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.

Hey... What's with that look!?

[How dare you besmirch the name of Joseph Joestar! He does that just fine on his own, thank you very much. Ugh, whatever.]

You know, there's something I've been meaning to ask you. If you fall asleep hanging upside down, does that mean you can fall asleep standing up without falling over?
deshabille: «vampire doesn't get that reference» (☀ you've been so good i hear)

[personal profile] deshabille 2016-01-18 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
I know what you've done.

[Ahem.]

You know, I've never tried. Maybe.
nextlineis: (☆ and the fakers gonna fake fake)

[personal profile] nextlineis 2016-01-18 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Whaaaaaat? You've been a vampire how long and you've never tried!? Never!?

[He is thoroughly disappointed in her.]

We need to try tonight then.

[Utterly freakin' settles it.]

[personal profile] deshabille 2016-01-18 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
One hundred and twenty-four years.

. . . "We"? How are you involved in this.
nextlineis: (★ but i wonder what)

[personal profile] nextlineis 2016-01-18 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if you fall over, I'll totally catch you.

[No. No, he won't. He'll let her fall and he'll be howling with laughter.]
deshabille: «vampire wondering how you walk upright» (☀ take my aim)

[personal profile] deshabille 2016-01-18 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Don't lie to me, I am your captain.
nextlineis: (★ kept on the inside and no sunlight)

[personal profile] nextlineis 2016-01-18 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not lying. I'll catch you.

[On camera.]
deshabille: «vampire is too drunk, losing balance» (☀ straight and narrow)

[personal profile] deshabille 2016-01-18 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmmmmm.

[HMMMMMMMMM.]
nextlineis: (☆ shake shake shake)

[personal profile] nextlineis 2016-01-18 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
C'mon, I'm your first mate! If you can't trust me, who can you trust?
deshabille: «vampire feels relatively personable» (☀ go steady with me)

[personal profile] deshabille 2016-01-18 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
I trust you to be absolutely wicked.
nextlineis: (☆ that's what people say mmm-mmm)

[personal profile] nextlineis 2016-01-18 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know where you'd get an idea like that from.

[personal profile] deshabille 2016-01-18 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
I've met you.
nextlineis: (☆ i never miss a beat)

[personal profile] nextlineis 2016-01-18 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[He snickers.]

That's fair, I suppose.
deshabille: «vampire can't handle your bs rn» (☀ you've been so far so long)

[personal profile] deshabille 2016-01-18 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
. . . Well, why? Does it matter?
deshabille: «vampire plots your demise» (☀ i know it turns you off)

[personal profile] deshabille 2016-01-18 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Vampires just age differently, that's all. Really I'm not so old, for something so hard to kill.
deshabille: «vampire appreciating nature» (☀ out in my yard)

[personal profile] deshabille 2016-01-18 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
It's . . . fuzzy, but, you know. One-twenties is certainly still young adult.
deshabille: «but in a friendly way» (☀ when i get talking like a teen)

[personal profile] deshabille 2016-01-18 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Sort of, yeah. It's shit, honestly.

She doesn't look a day over 120, does she?
