vallo

Hello? My name is Remus Lupin and I have recently arrived here. I was told that there were people that I knew from home here?

[ FAM & FRIENDS ]

I can't possibly thank you enough for making this day special. I truly would have been happy with a card and cake while Hell is so literally being visited upon these poor people.

[ GROUP TEXT: MARLENE & EMMELINE ]

» Hello, is this working?
» Can you both see this at the same time?
» Testing, testing, James Potter is the greatest.

Hello out there! This really is a brilliant communication system you have going on here. I've been looking through it on and off since we arrived, and it's remarkable. Also far less conspicuous than owls.

James Potter, at your service. My wife and I arrived earlier today, and frankly couldn't be happier to be here at the moment. Even if we've managed so skip ahead a few decades or so. Looking forward to meeting you all eventually!

Stay weird, Vallo.

I now own a team set of flying brooms that were made so that anyone could use them. Well, at least anyone with decent balance or practice. The point is, you don't need magic or superpowers. One set isn't enough for organized play, but three on three pick-up games are possible, and they're just fun to fly for flying's sale. Anyone want to learn?

[ EMMELINE ]

Hey, can I ask a secret magic favor? Not secret magic secret, magic for a surprise.

Part of me really thought everyone who claimed to have visited the past last year was either high, or playing the most elaborate prank ever and did not invite me to participate (which, rude).

HELLO VALLO OF 2022. (This tech is so old, are you kidding me.)

DAD! Bàba! 'Tis I, Min Weasley, your perfect, talented, fantastic daughter that you never get mad at ever because I'm brilliant, and you love me. Where are your baby faces?

PS no one go the bougie coffee cart in the plaza in the arts district for at least an hour.

12 more days until Halloween! Come get all your spooky tricks over at WWW, where the ever cheerful Gretchen is always ready to help point you in the right direction (which is straight to Serefin, who will take you to your desired product). Specialty fireworks are on sale for 20% off through the rest of the month.

[ FILTERED TO WIZARDING WORLD ]
Can't say I knew this version well, but sorry to see her go. Everyone else still around, yeah?

So before it all kicked off, the charming Adora informed me that you guys had quidditch here. Which obviously begs two questions;

a) How did that work?
b) How can we make that work again?

[Ginny]
I'd ask you if you'd like to be involved in Operation Quidditch, but turns out you don't have a choice.

...Hi. Apparently I missed a few things? But I'm back just in time for the chaos, which is starting to become a theme.

I see you have a darkness problem and we have a potential idea in the works here to assist the group that will be working on the Crystal. Witches and wizards of the Wizarding World, we need you.

If anyone knows of anyone else who might be hiring a good secretary or assistant, would you mind letting me know? I'm very organized, a fast typist (faster on the typewriter, not terrible on this computer thing), an observant listener, and even better at fielding calls and not letting callers bully me into interrupting your meetings. I'd be happy to provide interested parties with a CV, though I don't know how much my experience back home translates to experience here.

Also, hello. My name is Tuni. I've been here for a short while so far and I'm still getting the lay of the land. Any suggestions are always welcome.

REMUS

Just checking in. Are you remembering to eat three square meals a day? Are you sleeping all right? Have you figured out the moon cycle and its effects here yet? Can I help you with anything? I'm afraid without Harry here, you're going to have to let me mom you, instead.

[OOC: Characteristically (she did the same thing after Snape's Worst Memory), Lily has spent the bulk of time since her arrival alone, with the occasional exception of Petunia and James]

This place is wonderful, I must say. All I've done since I got here is wander around and take it all in. What's everyone's favourite spots?

Cheers,
Lily Potter

( FILTERS FOR MARLENE, EMMELINE, PETUNIA, REMUS, JAMES & BONNIE )

I still find myself rather disoriented despite a very thorough orientation. Now that I've had a kip, I would be grateful for any suggestions on how to ease this transition. What do you wish you knew when you were settling in? If you had to say, what should top my list of places to see and things to do? What spots might I do well to avoid?

[MARLENE & EMMELINE]

>> Alright? I have questions.

1) Did you know this place is mental? Have you been to that Forest? And I'm pretty sure I walked past Madam Puddifoots. I nearly had a flashback.

2) Am I concerned that no one seems too bothered about going home?

3)  Money - How long does 1000-whatshits normally last?

>> V. IMPORTANT EXTRA QUESTION. Which one of you is taking me out tonight? If I spend another evening in my own head I’m going to lose it.

>> Don’t all shout at once, now.


[RON & GINNY]

>> How you holding up?

Seriously, how many of these places are there?

Hullo, world-hopping kidnappees. Always a pleasure - James here. If I mentioned 'quidditch' and 'floo powder', would anyone have a clue what I'm on about? 'Billywig'? 'Dungbomb'?

Bonus points if your surname's Potter.

Cheers.

My dad once told me if I ever couldn't find my way home have family in every corner of the globe who'd see me right. Not sure if this place counts, but I might as well give it a crack - this is Ginny Weasley, any Weasleys or Prewetts out there? I'm taking a lot on faith right now

[OOC FYI - 'GW IS HERE!' in ten-foot high gold lettering is now hovering above Ginny until she and Ron meet up, because this is how Ginny rolls]
