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.

I could use a sparring partner, if you're game. But, uh, my spells don't exactly have a way to turn them down. Even if I stick with my weakest spells, you're going to have to be prepared to be set on fire a bit.

... That's... Pretty shitty.

I have no idea, but I'd be interested in finding out. I've been trying to study all the different ways of magic around here, to see how they interact.

If all else fails, I'm pretty shit at it, but I do have a healing spell.

I may not have a talent for healing, but Cure can take care of that much.

I've got a robe a dragon gave me, it's got pretty good defense.

... Yes, actually?

He was probably one of the nicest people I've ever met. It was... actually kind of creepy when I think about it too much.

Same here, where I came from- They're a high-level species of monster, even the weakest versions requiring a strong party to kill, and fast. But this wasn't at my home. This guy was from my last interdimensional shithole.

... I wouldn't really call it a world. Rather, it can't have been a world. It was sort of...

The best way I have to describe it is a void demiplane. It was called Kyriakos, but I don't know if that was the name of the castle, or the plane itself that the castle inhabited.

[She has to take a moment to figure out how much she can say.]

There's... a lot about it I can't say, and a lot more I don't particularly want to. The important thing to know is that it's sort of... A collection of dimensional flotsam. It's where the small pieces that remained of worlds that had been destroyed ended up. Castles, caves, beasts and monsters... And shards of people.

I didn't manage to leave. I was taken away from it, by the Atroma.

... But, thanks. I miss the people there, but it... wasn't a pleasant place.
