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.

[She hesitates, but only for a moment. His vibes are good and anyway, she's as excited as he is.]
See, I got the power of Resurgence... I can bring people back from the dead.

[Because that's Dark magic, that is. Thoughts of Inferni flash through his head, sickening and desperate, and Remus pales slightly.]

[She hesitates, but then this kid shared that he was a damn werewolf so it's only fair. Her voice gets quiet.]
I can even bring myself back. [Usually. But it was Atroma this time, wasn't it?] I've died two times already.

[His face has paled, his cheerful demeanor lessened.]
I can't . . . I can't do anything even approaching that. That's not-- our magic doesn't cover things of that nature.

She's the most powerful witch in the coven, the only one who can perform all the Seven Wonders.

[A beat, and then, uncertainly:]
Branches of magic? Or--?

I've never held much with divination.
[He offers her a slight smile.]
It's very suggestive, I've always found. You can imagine how popular that made me with my teacher.
