--ell it’s not as if we have radios like this back home, Muggle technology isn’t anywhere near this level of complexity just yet.

[ someone ( Miss Lily Evans ) is fussing with Remus’ communicator. no, not her own, because he was showing her how it works, but her curiosity and maybepossibly mild impatience made her reach out to take his, already pushing different icons on the screen to see if she could figure out how to use it on her own. naturally, all she did was turn a video recording without realizing it right away. the view is blurry at best, because she keeps turning it over in her hands, squinting at it before pressing the screen a few more times. but then she’s looking up from it to ask him another question, though she just ends up sighing and maybe kinda smiling but really she’s doing her best to look stern here. ]

Pardon me. You teach me, then I’ll teach you, remember? It’s not as if my textbooks are leaving anytime soon. And neither am I, so-

[ so she’s holding up the communicator between them, turning her hand this way and that, hellooo, completely in the dark here- ]

Oh, what’s that little light for-?

Well, now you’ve turned it on. See? That means it’s recording. Which means you and I are broadcasting to the ship right now--

[He gives the camera a vague sort of grin, brief, before turning back to her to add:]

And they might not be leaving, no, but I’m dying to see them-- it’s been ages, Lily, and there’s nothing about magic in the library--

But in any case. Hello, all. This is my friend Lily Evans-- obviously from my world-- who, ah, is-- in sixth year, you said? Right. Sixth year, which makes her about a year from where I am-- only we’re the same age now, which is terribly confusing.

Anything you’d like to say, Lils?


Oh! Yes, that's right, sixth year, but- Wow. Hi.

[ she never really thought she was camera shy before this moment, but a live video feed is a little different than posing for a snapshot. so her cheeks might be a little pink, but otherwise she's just sitting up straighter, like someone who cares veryveryvery much about making a good first impression. which might also be why she's wearing her Hogwarts uniform. ..either that or she just feels more comfortable in her robes than that jumpsuit. awfully tight, isn't it? anyway- ]

As Remus said, my name's Lily. I'm still learning the dos and don'ts of the ship, but I'm hoping it won't be too long before I'm helping out around here in some capacity. How much do you all know about magi-

[ hmm maybe she should direct this at Remus ]

How much do they know about our world? Magic, I mean.

Quite a bit.

[His expression turns slightly uncomfortable for a second.]

Perhaps I should fill you in off-screen, hm?

Of course, yeah.

[ squinting at that expression!! but in a considerate way ( if that’s even possible ), and it’s only brief, because then she’s turning back to the camera. and she looks a little, tiny bit confused, but otherwise she’s managed to save face ]

We’ll... be back later. Maybe. Can’t wait to meet you all!

[He leans back a little and sets his communicator facedown.]

They're a surprisingly friendly bunch, actually. I mean, you'd think there'd be more awful people than there in fact are.

[oh bloody hell.

There are a great many feelings to sort out about see Miss Lily Evans here, some of them fond and some of them panicky and some of them actually sort of disgusted, because--

Because. Remus is a mild force to contend with--Evans is abrasive, and snitty, and tends to stomp her foot and insult him and generally discourage activities that Sirius heartily enjoys. Which is, to say the least, a pity. And then of course, there's more complicated bits to this, like oh hell the WEREWOLF thing, and did she just say textbooks, and then there's the future, and what happens, and they'll have to tell her, won't they, they'll have to say well Evans you marry James and--

And. And before he even starts a reply to this, Sirius shoves a hand over his face and sighs, hugely. Oh, bloody shitting hell.

Right. Yeah. This is-- this is something.]


We-ell. And why wasn't I invited to this welcome party? Why didn't I get to greet Evans right out of her goo pod?

[because see she'd have been n a k e d ha ha. Yeah. When in doubt, be lecherous and awful and--well, in short, his usual self when dealing with Lily Evans.]

Evans! How are you, lovely of you to join us--and don't you two make a cozy picture! Heartwarming. Positively heartwarming. I may cry.

[He raises his eyebrows at Sirius, vaguely unamused.]

Please don't. I couldn't find you, and then I found her, and now here we are. No need to be jealous, Sirius.

They are, yes. Some of them have magic of their own, actually-- it's different than ours. It's easier to see than to tell-- and of course the Muggles have their science.

[Before she can ask another question, he cuts her off with a small gesture. And his expression is uncomfortable again, bordering on nervous (but he's trying to suppress that emotion)--]

Lily-- look, before . . . before you talk to anyone else, I have-- er-- I have to tell you something.

It's about my-- ah-- me. And what I am.

[He glances over at her for a few seconds before staring down at his lap. Quietly:]

There are quite a few werewolves on this ship, you know.

[He lets her babble on and on for a while, his expression still-- and when she comes to a halt, he says quietly:]

No, it's not.

[A beat.]

It isn't, by the way. The moon cycle. We each have our individual ones, but they all tend to happen around the same period. Isaac and I are the closest together. And we are all being careful, yes.

But I'm always jealous over you, Lupin. Shame on any girl for stealing time from me. In fact, I have half a mind to come over there and kidnap you.

[Oh-hhh, he has so many things he could say, so many allusions that he could make--in that state, eh, is that what the kids are calling it these days Miss Evans--

But in typical Lily Evans fashion, she crushes that. All allusions wither and perish and die under the crisp way that she opens a textbook, right there in front of him.

A textbook. Hollowly, he laughs, once.]


Evans.

I'm not about to tell you where I am so you can come and steal textbooks. I know you, Sirius.

Ten years, now.

[He still stares at his lap.]

I understand if-- I mean-- I thought I'd let you know. The entire ship knows, so. I'd rather it come from me.

Why would I want textbooks! Disgusting. Where did you even get textbooks, there aren't any real books in this place--

Why! Why, why, there are a hundred things we could do here! None of them involving books, textbooks or otherwise! We've been doing perfectly well without books of any sort! And now she comes here, with her textbooks--they are hers, aren't they?
theshabbiestofmen: (Talk ☾Oh gosh)

[personal profile] theshabbiestofmen 2013-02-09 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
Of course they're hers, and just because you don't want to graduate doesn't mean I don't! And they're advanced books, which means I can continue my education.

D'you listen to yourself? Do you actually listen to yourself, do you hear the things you're--

Continue your education. Remus. Seriously.
