Day Change: Day 53.

Apr 18, 2011 14:54

At midnight, television screens all around Peaksville go on, and West is there holding a mask in front of his face. "I do so enjoy a good party, don't you? I do hope I'll see you there. Don't be worried, my little creations if things seem bleak early! It will all work out alright in the end!"

day change, west, [day 53]

Sirius had drifted off during a double-feature of some old sci-fi movies about aliens or irradiated women or some such, using his best friend as a pillow.

When West appears on the screen in the cinema, Sirius jerks awake. He lifts his head off of James's shoulder and groggily wipes drool from the corner of his mouth.

As West speaks, he sits up in his chair, thinking he's dreaming.

"Oi!" he shouts angrily at the end of the speech. "You nutter, you sent us here without our wands. How come Snivellus has his, and not us? Parties, I ask you. We're -"

He then looks at James, worried that he might have woken his friend. It occurs to him that he's not dreaming, after all.

There was a feminine voice behind him, soft but professional sounding. "He has his because he made a deal. Are you interested in making a deal, Mr. Black?"

Startled by the voice, Sirius leaped out of his seat and spun around. He squinted at the woman in the near-darkness, looked back at the screen, looked at James, then back at her.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Miss Devlin. You might say I'm an agent.. of sorts." Miss Devlin rose from where she was perched on the back of a chair and had a rather polite smile. "I am the person in Peaksville who can offer you deals, Mr. Black." She leaned over and adjusted his collar. "I can give you nearly anything you desire."

His eyes followed the movement of her hand one his collar, then narrowed with suspicion.

"What kind of deal?" he asked.

"What would you be willing to trade in order to ensure the return of your magic? It's a simple thing, really. What is it worth to you in order to have that bit of yourself restored?"

suddenlysirius April 18 2011, 20:02:59 UTC

He pursed his lips and glanced at James again.

Stalling - and with more than a little curiosity - he looked askance at her and asked evenly, "What'd Snape trade?"

Miss Devlin clicked her tongue and then wagged her finger at Sirius. "Uh uh uh, a person's deals are held in confidence." When it suited Miss Devlin really.

suddenlysirius April 18 2011, 20:12:45 UTC

"Really. Hm."

He looked pensively at the ceiling for a moment, as though contemplating what sort of deal he'd like to make. Then, he leaned forward with a smirk.

"Sod off."

He could survive here without a wand. Devlin reeked of bad news - and if Severus Snape had made a deal with her, Sirius Black wasn't about to follow in his footsteps.

"Oh, now that isn't very nice, Sirius, you never know what could happen here." She leaned forward and stroked his head, scratching him behind his ear like one would a puppy.

"When you decide, give me a shout, and until then?" There was a quick grin and Miss Devlin caught a snitch out of nothing. "A gesture of good will."
