001 Howling - [Video]

[The feed turns on to show the legs of a cloaked figure taking small, cautious steps away from the PCD. Anyone from Earth will recognize his accent as English.]

Padfoot? Prongs? Come on, this isn't funny anymore. I have duty tonight.

[He turns around and stops, then comes back to the PCD and picks it up, not seeming to notice it's on.]

MOONY!

[Sirius' smile looks like it's going to split his face in half. He's excited beyond belief. He's been waiting months for another Marauder to arrive.]

You're finally here! Certainly took you long enough, mate. Kept me waiting for eight months, you did! But it doesn't matter now since you're finally here!

We're just missing Prongs and Wormtail now!

[lupinnotlupus]

P-Padfoot! Why are you here? Where...is here?

[His face is working up to a glare.]

If James put you up to this...

[siriuslymagical]

Can't say exactly why I'm here, Moony, but I am. I don't think anyone really knows why they're here.

Here, my friend, is Adstringendum! A place where all sorts of different worlds are brought together into one. A bunch of muggle scientists were messing with things they shouldn't have and people started arriving here because of it.

[He holds up his hands, trying to show his innocence.]

James has had nothing to do with this! In fact, I haven't seen him for months! I haven't seen any of you for months! I swear, Remus.

[lupinnotlupus]

...Right, so this Ads...Adstra...whatever it is. A city in Romania or something?

[He starts walking, really not looking like his normal self.]

Just tell me where you are. I'm not in the mood right now.

[neodaiyoukai]

What are Muggles?

[lupinnotlupus]

Non-magical people.

[neodaiyoukai]

Why call them that?

[Video]

[lupinnotlupus]

[He shrugs.]

I don't know. It's just always been that way.

[notamageiswear]

[Well, have an equally British accent!]

...Muggles? I've heard that word before. Do you know Sirius?

[Video]

[lupinnotlupus]

[It's a pandemic!]

I do, I'm sorry to say sometimes.

So...this isn't a joke then?

[notamageiswear]

[Negi's secretly befriending anyone from England, I think.]

Ah, I'm sure he'll be happy to have a friend from home, though. It's always nice to have friend from home.

I'm afraid not. I've been here for nearly nine months, actually.

[lupinnotlupus]

[Accents gotta stick together?]

Yeah. It's kind of scary he's been here all by himself, though.

Nine months? What is this place?

[snarkypotions]

...Oh good god.

[Here the absolute disgust lacing each word? Yeah, someone's not happy to see you.]

[Video]

[lupinnotlupus]

[Oh shit, that inflection with the words, the drawling tones, the...hair. Oh shit. Lupin just blinks for a few seconds.]

S-Snape?

Re: [Video]

[snarkypotions]

Rather unfortunately, yes.

[Dude. You look older. What's up with that?]

You look...different.

[Voice]

[mister_hatter]

Either you're talking in some sort of clever code, or you're new and from a world very different from mine.

[Voice]

[lupinnotlupus]

Considering I don't know this place, let's go with the latter, shall we?

[Voice]

[mister_hatter]

And no one has explained it yet?

[Voice]

[lupinnotlupus]

A couple people have.
