[When the device clicks on, a thud and some loud rustling is heard, followed by some rather creative cursing.]

Could have sworn that was the first time I'd apparated in mid-air. Bloody git Snivelly couldn't have cursed my wand while I wasn't looking, could he? Because whatever happened, it obviously wasn't due to my lack of talent, and Godric forbid

voice. why am i always late to parties

[wizardlyangst]

[ He's there, and it sounds like he's tried to say something- several times- but dear god that isn't working. It takes him a couple of minutes, even, before he's able to form coherent sounds. ]

It can't be--

[ But of course it can. He's met more dead people here than alive ones, really, it's just that. Well. ]

-- Sirius?

voice. it's ok, it's still within the acceptable margin of "fashionably late" :>

[always_sayfleas]

[Ohi everyone seems so surprised that he's here what is this. AND WHO ARE YOU.]

This is most definitely Sirius Black, yes. Now if you're about to tell me that either A. James isn't here, B. I am trapped in a city with no way out, C. No, this isn't St. Mungo's you demented git and oh by the way your dearest brother and cousin are also here except slightly older than you might have recalled, or D. All of the above, then there's no need to bother; the people I've already spoken to have already covered it.

voice. everyone else was simply early. >(

[wizardlyangst]

[ HE'S STILL SHOCKED BEYOND BELIEF but he laughs a bit. He knows it's Sirius, but he sounds- different- and hell he hasn't heard Sirius this happy in awhile. He doesn't know why that is, but still. ]

At least you've got the basic stuff down, yeah.

I'm--

[ LOL WAIT uhhh ]

-- A friend. One of James' friends, I mean.

voice. exactly o/

[always_sayfleas]

[Huh. He can't seem to remember exactly who this person is but OKAY whatever, James' friend, etc. etc.]

Alright, one of James' friends, a pleasure chatting with you and all but my lovely cousin's missed me dearly and can't wait to meet up with me, so I need to be going now.

voice.

[wizardlyangst]

[ WAIT WHAT ]

You're going after her? Now?

voice.

[always_sayfleas]

[YEAH YOU HEARD IT RIGHT]

Yes, now. As in, presently, at this moment, right this instant, so really nice meeting you.

voice.

[wizardlyangst]

[ SCREAMING INSIDE

looked at their thread and saw the location ping buttt come on there's still hope ]

Isn't that-- Are you sure that's a good idea?

voice.

[always_sayfleas]

Anything I come up with is a brilliant idea, of course.

[pause. SUSPICIOOOONS]

You rather sound like you've actually been acquainted with my cousin, one of James' friends.

voice.

[wizardlyangst]

Uh.

[ Damnit why does he suck at lying

DECIDES TO IGNORE THAT INSTEAD ]

Could I convince you not to go?

[ SOB HE KNOWS HOW STUBBORN HE IS but he needs to tryyyy ]

voice.

[always_sayfleas]

[What about NO]

Sorry mate, I'm sure you're just looking after my best interests, but I'm positive James would tell you it would be better of me to go have a nice chat with her.

voice.

[wizardlyangst]

So you're definitely going now.

voice.

[always_sayfleas]

[Idk there's something rather endearing about this guy that he couldn't quite put a finger on, so he just laughs]

No need to worry, one of James' friends, I'm sure you know I'm rather talented and won't get into too much trouble.

voice. 1/2

[wizardlyangst]

I guess there's no stopping you, then...

voice.

[wizardlyangst]

Well.

[ A frustrated sigh. gddit sirius ]

Best of luck.

[ The sound of shifting in the background, barely audible muttering- HE'S GOING TO FIND YOU, FUTURE GODFATHER

Connection Terminated. ]
