[There is a rather ungainly thud as a figure lands, hard, on the ground. Pale trembling fingers sink into the soil to push the boy -- no more than sixteen -- onto his hands and knees. He is breathing heavily, a thin sheen of sweat covering his handsome face -- but that glint in his eyes shows a tremendous amount of lifeThin lips purse together as

[ WOW WHAT THE FUCK - ] Hey.

Hey! Oh my - god! What is wrong with you?

[nexmosnonlucror]

Quite a few things, none of which are your concern.

[It's a soft hiss as Tom quivers, trying to get rid of the pain. He had been expecting some backlash from completing the ritual, but this -- losing his magic -- ]

But should you insist... I am currently in an abandoned city when I should be at the school...a rabid creature just attacked me and --

[Tom finally looks up towards the PCD, before his eyes narrow slightly in confusion.]

... what is this?

[slayery]

Okay, first of all? You just spouted a bunch of crazy gibberish at a rabbit. Granted, it was like Bunnicula-grade scary rabbit, but how would yelling made up words at it help? Then you bashed in its head. Following so far?

I am a wizard.

[It's coughed -- and normally, Tom would fiercely deny such a thing, much to his chagrin, but other people contacting him on this thing seem to recognize that he was attempting to use magic. Perhaps he's among friends.

Or this woman is just an idiotic Muggle fool who doesn't know the difference.

Either way, she will find Tom insane, and Tom will ignore her.]

I was attempting to knock it out when it attacked me -- [a cough] -- forgive me for prioritizing my hand over the rabbits life, I am certain there are more of them --

Really now! How needlessly dramatic.

On your feet, before you make a mess of yourself.

[His fingers are curling around the device now, to examine it. He flips it over -- you can only hear his uneven breathing -- before Tom figures out that this is some sort of Muggle... portable... phone.]

... this is impossible.

[It's a breathy whisper.]

[Video]

[homo_exanimus]

Clearly that is untrue, because it is in the process of happening.

Up, before you attract more of those creatures.

[nexmosnonlucror]

[You're a fucking Ravenclaw, aren't you.]

This technology is impossible.

[His fingers run over the screen. They are shaking. And Tom's voice is faint, forced, and extraordinarily weak.]

... tell me more. How is this possible? Where am I?

[Video]

[notamageiswear]

... are you alright?

[Video]

[nexmosnonlucror]

No.

[Why are people talking to him? What is this thing? Where is he? Why is his magic gone?]

[Video]

[notamageiswear]

[WELL DAMMIT.]

Do you need assistance, Tom?

[nexmosnonlucror]

[... this individual knows his name?]

[nexmosnonlucror]

I do not require a clinic.

[Instantly, almost a hiss. Tom is quelling panic. Panic. Merlin, he hadn't felt panic in -- ever, where is his magic, why can't he cast spells, his chest feels like collapsing.]

What I require is knowledge of where I am and where the nearest telephone or train station is.

[nexmosnonlucror]

Adstringendum --

[The Latin flows easily off of his tongue. Tom closes his eyes.]

Impossible.

[Despite the violence in the scene, Ion is primarily concerned for the young man.]

Are you alright?

[Video]

[nexmosnonlucror]

[More people are concerned over the damn rabbit than they are him. And Tom has yet to see a familiar face. He feels caged. Trapped. Useless. Where is his magic? Where did it go?]

Obviously not.

[It's a quiet cough.]

[Video]

[daath_vader]

Of course. I'm sorry for the silly question. Where are you? Do you need help? I can come to you.

[Video]

[nexmosnonlucror]

I require an owl.

[Do not ask question, small she-man. Tom needs a damn owl.]
