1 [Accidental Video]

[purebloodmight]

[For a moment, all you hear is shallow breathing, and all you see is darkness. There is a cough, the sound of staggering steps, and a thud as something heavy lands next to the PCD. A pale hand, with long fingers, curls around the strange object and it flips over to show a handsome boy, with dark eyes and dark hair, pale and sweating in the frigid

[He recognizes that wand. Oh how he recognizes that wand... This is bad, this is so bad. But maybe he's just jumping to conclusions, right?]

[Not here]

[purebloodmight]

[You never know unless you ask, Severus.]

[Not here]

[snarkypotions]

[He is not asking. He doesn't need your attention on him yet. Besides, other people will ask soon enough, so he'll just, stalk.]

[Not here]

[purebloodmight]

[Oh, fine, don't help the Dark Lord in his time of need, he sees how it is. Bloody coward.]

[Voice]

[trollinurchina]

You're in Adstringdedumun. You don't look well, are you okay?

[Voice]

[purebloodmight]

[There is a lengthy silence.]

Homenum Revelio.

[Another lengthy silence.]

... who are you and how can you be hiding?

[Voice]

[trollinurchina]

[...Why are you waving a stick around] I'm not hiding, I'm in the television phone.

[Voice -- > Video]

[There is another pause and Tom picks up the PCD, his fingers ghosting over the screen, activating the video function by accident. He doesn't look particularly afraid, but he is pale, out of breath, and not very happy.]

... this is a Muggle device. [Tom pauses for a moment to look around.] I'm not at the school anymore, that much is obvious... How did I vanish?

[notamageiswear]

[... someone else from a magic-related world?]

Are... are you alright?

[By now, he has picked up the PCD again. This boy... appeared kind. Probably nice, all things considered, seeing as the first question he asked is whether or not Tom was fine.

If this sudden movement is the result of creating a Horcrux, then Tom has to play his cards carefully. He purses his lips slightly.]

Confused, but fine. Can you tell me where I am and how I managed to Apparate within school grounds?

[Video]

[notamageiswear]

[Apparate.]

Ah, you're from Hogwarts, then.

This place is Adstringendum. It's not that you were able to Apparate, so to speak... a flux in the space-time continuum pulled you here against your will. All of us have been pulled here in similar fashions.

[Something in his eyes flicker at the information and Tom absorbs it all without question. Finally, someone useful. He files it away for questions later, choosing instead to focus on what Negi had said first.]

You know about Hogwarts? So you're a student, there.

[Tom's long pale fingers are worrying the edges of his sleeves, his robes perfectly pressed.]

I don't recognize you.

[hyuugahime]

A-Are you okay ?

[purebloodmight]

Fine.

[All of these pleas of concern and not a single iota of helpful information. These people truly are useless.]

All things considered.

[hyuugahime]

I-It's a bit confusing, but ... it's another world. Or dimension, if you call it that. It's called Adstringendum, and you were brought here by the Animus.

[purebloodmight]

Latin.

[He still has his wand out, but the information is soothing him. This is not the work of Dumbledore or a punishment for his Horcrux. It truly is a freak accident.]

The name, it's Latin, like our spells... interesting. [Tom shakes his head slightly and smiles, though it is a tired one.] I've forgotten my manners. My name is Tom.

[buntails]

You must have just gotten brought here. Are you alright?

[purebloodmight]

Yes.

[So many nice people and so little real value. But Tom's tone is as light as can be, genuinely thankful.]

I'm fine. Thank you for the consideration.

[buntails]

I'm Usagi. Nice to meet you.

[purebloodmight]

[What is this Japanese name shit.]

Usagi.

[It sounds... odd, with a British accent, but Tom manages just fine.]

My name is Tom.
