ϟ FISSURES COMMUNICATIONS ϟ

Something's gone very bloody wrong with this location experiment.

Why does Grimmauld Place look like a haunted house?

[ visible to FRIENDS; ]

Just when I thought we'd left Zenner-style cruelty behind.

[ visible to REMUS; ]

For what it's worth, I understand what this is like, to lose people and then get them back without their memories, sometimes within a day. I'm sorry you're experiencing it as well. If you need anyth

[ text to HALEY; ]

✉ I know you had no control over it,
✉ But
✉ Thank you for always remembering me.

[ test scribbles ]

Wotcher, journal.

I find myself bored.

This perturbs me.

I've made too much. Again.

You all need to eat more, right now!

[ ooc: Big party for Harry's birthday (which followed a family breakfast) with all sorts of yummies and fun. Lily is a bit tipsy because her BABY IS TOO OLD. ]

( filtered to Sirius )

Hello, you. Not getting into trouble are you?

[ visible to HALEY & CLARA; ]

How are you two feeling now?

[ visible to JAMES, SIRIUS, REMUS & DORA; ]

One of you took my baby, because the boy sitting outside with Teddy right now looks entirely too old to be him.

Admirably well-played, Zenner. I think this is bound to stump even the most jaded among us.

Sound off, who is with me this time?

I am officially rubbish at potions. Sorry, mum. My sleeping draught didn't even make Remus yawn.

Maybe we can turn it into soup for dinner instead.

[Filtered away from ickle Harry and Teddy]

I joined Pottermore!

What? It's not weird.

I should have known that you lot were up to something. Thanks to everyone who helped out with my birthday party, especially my lovely wife, Lily.

Padfoot
You were in on this weren't you?

What do you say we come up with a surprise for Lily? Fair's fair, after all.

Daffodils are coming up absolutely everywhere around the property and beyond. I wish my thumb were greener so I could start enormous flower beds, but what's growing naturally suits me just fine for now.

[ blocked from JAMES; ]

Once again I'm inviting everyone over for a birthday party, this time for James on the 27th. Informal and outdoors, like Remus', as the weather's been so lovely.

Try not to talk to James about it, though I'm sure he knows something is planned. It'll make him impossible all week.

I'm so glad spring is nearly here.

Dad, Mum, Uncle James, Aunt Lily:

Can Harry and I get a dog?

[ backdated! to the weekend, following her party on the 24th ]

Thank you all again for the lovely birthday presents and the wonderful party. You didn't need to bring me anything, for I loved just having everyone together, but I'll treasure all of them.

[ SU; ]

I love you. I'm grateful every day you're here with me.

I swear the forest behind Cair Paravel doubled in size this afternoon. I've been walking those trails for weeks and today I managed to get hopelessly lost for hours. My feet are not pleased in the slightest.

[ visible to LUCY; ]

Out of curiosity, what do you think of Sirius Black?

I didn't consent to this. This is criminal behaviour and I want to be returned right now.

I've seen a great many interesting things in my time, but this one is in a class entirely of its own. I'm afraid my current situation leads me to be suspicious of this place in general. If this is a ruse to lure information out of me, I can assure you it won't be working. Though, I am having trouble figuring why Voldemort and his followers would drop me outside of Kings Cross Station with a magical journal. So, perhaps it isn't what I assume, after all.

My name is Remus Lupin. If anyone reading this could further explain things, it would be appreciated.

( delivery for sirius black )

Cathy, I've got the fixings for gingerbread houses. I fully expect you and Izzy to come help me make a mess of the kitchen. Anyone else who'd like to come is welcome as well.

I know leaving dead rats in my room is Hedwig's idea of a present, but this is getting a little out of hand. Sorry, mum.

[ BEN & ALLANA ]

Do you think you could help me do some Christmas shopping for my parents and Sirius?

[ ooc: morning of the 18th ]
It's still so odd to see all the markets here preparing for an American holiday. So much of the city continues to look as much like London as the real one, even though I know there are people from so many worlds within it.

[ visible to JAMES, SIRIUS, HARRY & BEN; ]

Quite the commotion this morning, but we're all settled now, yeah?

Ben, will you be staying tonight?

The autumn here is lovely. I never thought I would be happy to have an altered London, but it's so nice to have such bright, clear skies against the turned leaves.

[ visible to HARRY, also JAMES & SIRIUS; ]

Harry, love, what do you usually do for Halloween?

Oh my.

We should party. I know some of us keep being sent off on these bloody holidays of doom, but I say we should all get together and celebrate. Just for the sake of celebrating and all getting to know each other better. Who's up for it? We deserve some fun!

Thank you to those of you who helped me search for my sister, fruitless though it may have been.

I make no claims to be a great chef, but if any of you would like to join me for dinner tomorrow evening, I'd be glad to have the company. It's more than a little ridiculous sitting around in a castle by oneself all the time.

My school trunk turned up! And Hedwig!

It is so hot outside. Can we go to the beach?


[ooc; anyone living with Harry would have had to deal with him sneaking around the house with the invisibility cloak all morning.]

One - or more - of you is in an enormous amount of trouble. You know who you are.

[ ooc: backdated to the early morning of the 27th, since I was on hiatus then. :P ALSO, pretend the glitter words are color and motion charms. ]

It's still so odd to think that I could walk to the edge of London, though it isn't entirely London, and find a completely different view or climate than was there last week, but it's the reality of this place.

It would help if there was a way to put in a request. If there was, I'd request a warm beach.

[ visible to JAMES; ]

I think it's time to tell both of them about everything - the books, the movies, all of it. We can't hope to avoid it all forever.

[ visible to HARRY, SIRIUS, JAMES; ]

Even if a beach won't show up on the outskirts, I think we ought to go to one. We could take a picnic and make a day of it.

[ visible to SIRIUS; ]

It'd do you some good, you know, the wide open spaces, and there'd be more room to run than the garden. And we'd all be right there.

Have I finally gone mad? Is this some twisted trick of the Ministry to try to force confessions from me for things I haven't done?

Go away. They're dead, nothing else matters.

Some dream.

I thinks someone's trying to play a joke on me and for once I don't think it's very funny. If I had to make a wager I'd say that I know who the culprit is, and I'd also guess something went very very wrong, so let me just lay it out right here:

Padfoot, you win, whatever trick it was you were trying to play on me. Put me back in the cottage and you can show me whatever potion or charm you used, and I'll tell you where you went wrong.

[...] Anyone know where I can find food around here? I’m starving. And if I’m dead, I think there should be good food available Or if this is a dream. Probably a dream. Afterlife wouldn’t have me snuggling with a kitten, would it? And I don’t feel dead Not that I know where “here” is. But I mean. At all. I’m dead or dreaming and writing in a journal how does that even make any fucking sense ohoho it doesn’t I could eat leaves but I’d rather not.

Not that I mind being in the middle of no where. No where's better than some somewheres. Oh, no, you're not crazy, are you old chap? Nah, just fucking entirely But, uh, this somewhere could use a little [...] or a lot of explanation because I don’t think I’m supposed to be here. Not that I mind, as I said. Knowing why/how/etc wouldn’t go amiss at all, though.

If I’m dead James. Lily. You two are dead, are you around, being all dead afterlife like? [...] Then you’d know where there’s a fucking restaurant-

I don't entirely understand what just happened, so I'd like to speak to someone who can tell me what is going on.
