Dammit, what in the hell is going on? Hello? What is this thing? This looks like...like some kind of Muggle device, like some kind of recording Muggle device, like some kind of electric recording Muggle device that I have absolutely no idea how to use because I’m not a Muggle.

...Moony?
[A very stunned and confused James Potter manifests on the screen -- and perhaps a little annoyed.]
What in the hell is going on?! I was in Hogsmeade and then I just woke up here! Did Padfoot slip me something, because I swear to God, I will end his hopes of graduation.

The one and only, I'm afraid.
But no, surprisingly Padfoot had nothing to do with this...this time.
[He takes a slow sip of tea from his bedside table, since he's still in bed.]
You're in Adstringendum, a world made up of other worlds and times or something. It's...pretty strange and unbelievable, I know.

I'm in a -- what? Another world made up of -- what? You're joking. This has got to be a joke. How is that even possible?
[A slight pause, once James realizes his friend's condition. His tone abruptly shifts from mild panic to concern -- priorities!]
Are you okay, mate? I mean, suspending all disbelief and saying that this is real, you look like you've been through hell. Is it... y'know, already?

Padfoot! Merlin, I thought I was alone in this place. What in the hell happened to you? Didn't duck fast enough? And what is this thing, anyway?
[The image shakes as James appears to shake the PCD up and down, convinced something else will happen if he does.]

[He grins and scratches the back of his head.]
Caught me by surprise, is all. And the device in your hand is called a PCD. Very handy in this place, you'll find that out very soon. You can talk to everyone in the city on that little box in your hand!

Mate, I just saw you this morning, you can't have been here for a year. We had breakfast together. You, Moony, me, Wormtail, and Lily -- is she here?

He so regrets not letting your best friends die the other night.]

And if Snape had let his best friends die, he'd have a hell of a lot more to worry about than a little bit of schoolboy humiliation.]

Oh, and your bestest buddy, Black? The one who tried to kill him during Hogwarts? Yeah, he owes him a life debt now. If James has a problem with it, he's welcome to take it up with Snape, but he should probably ask Black how he got his ass handed to him when he tried to duel the older man.]

James has had a terrible day so far, so "taking it up" with Snape is sure to be next on his agenda of things to do once he's found his friends.]

Um, they've explained everything to you so far?

Uh. Yeah! Thanks for asking... Tenten, was it? They've explained bits and pieces, I guess, but I think I've got the jist of it. Worlds dragged together, stuck together, people dragged along for the ride... sounds like a good time.

That's basically it. Have they told you that things can change suddenly and weirdly here?

Who are you, then? What world are you from? I'm James.

Prince Soma Asman Gandal of Bengal. Judging from your accent, you're British?

[James wasn't about to refer to anyone as Prince.]
And yeah, astute observation. I'm about as British as it gets.
[It's said with a grin, though.]
