Hello, everyone!

[Behold, a wild Neil appears! Looking vaguely bemused, but all in all cheerful.]

It’s been ages since I had to introduce myself like this-- I’m out of practice. My name is Neil. I got here a few days ago, with my friend Todd. We came here from a place called the City, which was a little like this-- most of the people living there came from different worlds, or at least a lot of us did.

[He pauses, all too aware that this sounds a little nuts, but hey. It would've sounded crazier if they'd ended up in a proper self-contained universe, right?]

And things like yesterday-- with all those little furry things-- would happen every couple of days, too. Or other kinds of... Well, we called them curses, though I don't think you have anything exactly like it. But, I guess, we're used to strange things.

[And he smiles brightly.]

Anyway. I was speaking to the-- to one of the Wardens, yesterday morning, and she suggested I ought to get involved in some activities here.

[Because Neil wants his stuff back. His books, how is he supposed to get by without the few ones he packed?]

So I thought I'd introduce myself, and ask for some suggestions. Where should I start?

	Yeah? What kind of lessons did you take? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, I don't know, all kinds of things. Fencing-- mostly for stage fighting-- and Kate tried to teach us archery once, but I wasn't that good. And flying on a broomstick, not that it's any good without the broomsticks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can definitely say that I've never taken any lessons like that. The last one sounds a bit Harry Potter-ish. [She's a little amused.] How good were you at fencing? Maybe you could set something like that up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I don't think I know him.

[Though the name is familiar. Given it was Ginny's broom, that makes sense. The books won't be written for a handful decades more at home.]

I wasn't great at fencing-- like I said it was mostly for stage fighting, though it was fun. Otherwise, I guess I mostly just read... There wasn't really a school in the City or anything. Not regularly. People came and went, I think some tried to start classes, but it never really took off while we were there.

I guess not everyone does.

[ Harry only existed in books in her world but she could imagine that somewhere out there, in another universe, he actually did exist.]

That's a shame. The classes here are great and people seem to like them. How about a literary class? Or like a book club? People could write reviews or discuss them in a group. I don't know how popular it would be but it couldn't hurt to try, right?

	Or poetry. A poetry club. [A society, one might say. Neil's grinning at the prospect.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Now there's an idea. [Bonnie smiles at him in return.] Did you do that before? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Something like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think I'd go if you set it up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah? Well, I'll let you know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's good to meet you. I'm Neil, though I think I already said that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nice to meet you too, Neil. And yeah, you did say that. It's okay though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, I'll see you around, then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
