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.

[He shrugs with a little half smile.]
It's hardly a burden.

If it's any kind of trade-off, you can ask me questions about the Force if you want! You wanted to know about abilities and stuff, right?

You can do all kinds of things, though. Move objects, sense others around you, their emotions, the future... I can make myself run faster or jump higher, or improve my hearing or sight or strength. Some of our number can even use it to heal, though that's not really a field I know much about.

[Even if he thinks that's WRONG but whatever!!]
--but it sounds somewhat similar, in any case. I quite understand about healing, though-- I'm awful at it. Rather ruined my friend's nose, in fact.

[Ahsoka looks him up and down...]
I wouldn't mind, but... you look like you'd blow over with a light breeze. No offense.

[He wrinkles his nose, because like dang guys!]
My strength is in my magic, not my physical form.
no subject
I'm... not so sure what to do in a magic spar, to be honest. Most of my Force abilities have physical applications.

Or not. We hardly have to, it was just a thought.
