Oh, this is stupid--

[After a few hurried, confused conversations, Jack slips out of his wagon and glances around. His isn't the only wagon there; there's quite a few. Raising an eyebrow, he glances behind him-- and then around, peering tentatively into the wagon next to his ( Read more... )

[Luna steps out from around the side of the wagon and smiles serenely at this young man.]

Hello.

[action] cowboy_newsie November 4 2011, 04:27:51 UTC

[He glances back and raises an eyebrow. At least she's not blue, he thinks vaguely, and nods.]

Hi.

[A beat. He sticks out his hand.]

Name's Kelly, Jack Kelly.

[She moves forward and puts a thin stick, her wand, behind her ear before taking his hand and giving it a shake.]

Luna Lovegood. This is a funny situation, isn't it? I wasn't here a few moments ago.

[action] cowboy_newsie November 4 2011, 04:38:58 UTC

[He raises an eyebrow at that, but shakes her hand.]

Yeah, me either. What's with the stick?

[He nods toward the wand.]

[She's silent for a moment.]

I'm not supposed to tell Muggles.

[action] cowboy_newsie November 4 2011, 04:45:19 UTC

No worries, I'm Irish.

[action] hopesforpudding November 4 2011, 04:47:46 UTC

[This somehow makes perfect sense to her, and she smiles.]

It's my wand. I'm a witch.

[action] cowboy_newsie November 4 2011, 04:50:07 UTC

. . . are you!

[What a falsely interested expression.]

[action] hopesforpudding November 4 2011, 04:52:29 UTC

[She nods.]

Yes. There are laws against telling the Muggles, but I think I can't get in trouble since I'm in the past.

[action] cowboy_newsie November 4 2011, 04:55:02 UTC

[That gets his attention.]

What-- Jesus-- what year is it for you?

[action] hopesforpudding November 4 2011, 04:58:11 UTC

It's 1996.

[She tilts her head curiously.]

What year is it where you come from?

[action] cowboy_newsie November 4 2011, 05:00:32 UTC

[He pales a little, staring at her. He's starting to get the idea they're all from different years-- weird and odd and unbelievable as that is, and he's not quite sure he really believes it-- but it's one thing to hear someone's from sixty years ahead of you, and another to hear they're a hundred years in the future.]

1899.

[action] hopesforpudding November 4 2011, 05:08:15 UTC

That's quite a difference.

[Not that she seems bothered by it.]

[action] cowboy_newsie November 4 2011, 05:10:13 UTC

And you're . . . okay with it.

[action] hopesforpudding November 4 2011, 05:30:36 UTC

Should I not be?

[action] cowboy_newsie November 4 2011, 05:32:13 UTC

It's a little odd, yeah!
