I...have such a huge headache.

I woke up...somewhere and I was told to get a Livejournal and then I was shoved into some Internet Cafe in the muggle world and I--

Where the hell am I?

And what am I doing...alive?

The entire bloody world has completely changed.

Ugh.

I have the biggest bloody headache in this bloody world

Wait, someone told you to get a Livejournal? And brought you back from the dead? Who did this, exactly? It wouldn't have been Mary, would it? And who are you, anyway?

[likealily]

I--well I hardly remember. I just remember waking up under some bloody tree and--I don't know. I was rather disoriented, but some maniac dragged me over to the Internet Cafe and told me to get one. And, well, as the Muggle World I used to know is rather gone--

Well how the bloody hell do I know? The last thing I remember was Voldemort and a flash of green and--

Who is Mary?

Lily. Lily Potter. Who are you?

[chocomachinegun]

What city are you in? Do you know? What year is it?

She claims to be the Virgin Mary. And nothing she does can be trusted.

I'm Mello. I suppose you could say I'm a friend of Remus's.

[likealily]

I think I'm in London. The streets look vaguely familiar. But so much has changed. What...year? I honestly have no idea.

The Virgin Mary? As in...the religious figure? You think she brought me back to life?

Remus? Remus Lupin?

[chocolatehelps]

Yes? Mello is a friend, indeed.

Hullo, Lily. Feeling alright?

[likealily]

Remus!

...feeling all right?! Bloody hell Remus, I'm alive. I'm not supposed to be alive.

I don't even know where the hell I am or where anyone is or what year it is or how I'm going to get home or if I have a home and---

I--

Sorry. I've calmed down now. Maybe.

Remus, will you get your bloody best friend to come and find me?!

[chocolatehelps]

So I suppose, all things considered you're feeling pretty good. Being Not Dead and all. To give you some idea of the passage of time-- I'm 37.

Can you notice the name of anything? I'm in London myself at the moment. Not too sure where James is, but Sirius is crashing at my flat since he burnt his, foolish creature.

[likealily]

I--well I suppose in comparison to being dead, I feel bloody fantastic. Not that I remember anything of it. ...you're 37? But, Remus, I look the same as when I died. I couldn't be a day over 21.

I--there's some large hat shop in the distance. It has a huge sign in the shape of a hat and...lights? Oh! And there seems to be a huge department store across from me. There's a pretty girl in the store window?

Oh I don't know! This is hopeless.

...Sirius burnt his flat?

[chocolatehelps]

Well, you've been dead. So have James and Sirius. When you think about the fact that your son is now 17, it makes sense that I'm 37. You three are the ones with the strange ages, not us.

Could it be Harrod's, by chance? Bloody enormous place, lots of lights, practically a whole street corner?

And you can't really be surprised. You CAN be surprised, however, that he somehow managed it as a platypus.

[likealily]

Oh. I suppose so. But, how did Black get offed? He fall off of that damn motorbike of his? I always told him no good would come of it. And he tried to take poor Harry out on it too. Bloody menace.

It's bloody insane. I have a son who is 4 years younger than me.

Yes! I think that's what the big sign says. And there are people swarming all around it.

...Black turned himself into a playtpus?!

[chocolatehelps]

Killed by drapery, honeslty. No, seriously. He fell through a veil in the department of mysteries about...almost a year and a half ago. He's been back for a month? Something like that. But only recently back from a mission and THAT'S how he ended up a platypus. I haven't heard the details of that bit yet though.

Ah. Good, easy enough to find. Shall I swing by and pick you up then? We can figure out where James is after we get you something to eat though. Not curry though. I fed Sirius that last night. I'm curry'd out for now.

[likealily]

.....Black got himself killed by a curtain? *rolls eyes* Why am I not surprised? Incompetent fool. ...he was sent on a mission and came back a platypus. I bet Dumbledore was pleased with that.

That would be wonderful, Remus. Really, you're a lifesaver. When I see that Potter, I swear I'm going to give him an earful.

[chocolatehelps]

Well, Dumbledore made no move to help him get deplatyfied, that's for certain.

I'll be there in a few minutes. Hopefully Sirius won't destroy the place while I'm gone.

[likealily]

Really now? Bet he got a few laughs out of it. I always wondered whether he did things just for the heck of a few good laughs.

Thank you so much, Remus. ♥ I would find a babysitter just in case.

[chocomachinegun]

Ah, well, a long way from me, then, I'm afraid.

Well, she seems to do a lot of very strange things of late. Don't trust her.

Yes, of course. Do you know another?

[likealily]

Where do you live, then?

But why would she bring me back to life? I don't even know her!

I was just shocked to...hear a familiar name, I suppose. I haven't seen anyone since I...well, died.
