[ The device buzzes to life, although it’s filled with the buzz of static, and beeping of buttons being smashed.]
Ridiculous…
---...Muggle technology. What’s the point--? [ The words uttered are somewhat distant, delivered with clear, arrogant disgust. ]

[ There's the slightest of exasperated sighs when the locked video feed starts up. The face on the screen should be quite familiar. ]
I would suspect it is far too late to instruct you to be cautious and not flaunt your defenselessness all over this wretched city. It is still far too unclear who amongst the other misplaced residents is entirely trustworthy. Or at the very least unlikely to strike one who has been forcefully placed at such a disadvantage.
Your magic is gone along with your wand, Draco, courtesy of the doctor that is in charge. And her lackeys. We are to live as Muggles for two months. Nothing will lessen the sentence. [ Especially the pissy act. ]

Professor! [ An initial wave of relief. Good a familiar face he can trust around here.]
...I -- [ Draco's frown slowly turns to a scowl as he listens. There's a tension in his posture, but Professor Snape was more than right. ]
...was careless, Professor. [ Said through gritted teeth. He doesn't like admitting to a fault, but this one was indeed undeniable.] But they all just seem to be muggles, is all. [ A pause, frown deepening.] How can this doctor take away our magic? Wands, I understand. But this?

The ones that have first answered your ... call may very well be Muggles. But I have met others who are mages, or know mages here. That are familiar with magic in general. Though I have yet to see for my own eyes there are supposedly also gods. Dragons.
As for how she accomplished such a feat, it seems she has a device of some sort. But what this machine looks like, where it is, that much is quite understandably still unknown. That machine, that woman, know how to bend time and the universe itself. People from other planets, other realities.

Dragons? [ Okay, so that was an interesting tid bit of information. Interesting, but pretty much useless, in Draco's eyes.
He's a brat.]
Well, haven't these 'mages' gotten their powers taken away? Or are we just that lucky, professor?
[ A pause, and an almost disgusted grimace.] You mean to say that a muggle is the cause of me being dropped here?
...[ He takes note of the 'other realities' bit, but doesn't pass comment on that.]
[ Instead, he gives an exasperated hiss.] How the bloody hell do i get out of this hospital. I can't stand any more of this muggle medicine smell.
[ Because you know, he's a princess. And will most likely get lost.]

Their magic has been stripped as well. All who possess it lose it upon arrival. And if they are merely Muggle fighters of some sort then their weaponry is taken instead. Those that have their magic have been here at least two months. None of them have skirted that requirement.
[ He's so not amused this is well ... one of his usual not amused faces really. ] Possibly. Muggle or not they are powerful. And quite an annoyance.
[ ... oh no. Oh ugh. Really? This time there's no mistaking his sigh. ] The way to the lobby is clearly marked. [ But he has little faith that will end well. Brilliant. Just brilliant. He has to go fetch the princess Draco. The video feed blurs a bit as he stands and sweeps out of the room. At least the boy showed up when he was in his (temporary) apartment. ]

[ Draco can't help but wrinkle hit nose. ] That's just bloody brilliant, innit then? So what? We're supposed to be simple muggles now? [ It's said with enough disdain to fill a room. ]
[ A frown, bordering a scowl as he lifts his light eyes to scan the area. ] Not in this hallway, they're not.
Even Hogwarts was easier to navigate. [ It was almost hissed, under his breath, as he takes another turn.
TO be frank, all he needed to do was stop, take a breath and actually look at where he was going instead of blindly choosing directions. He was by no means stupid, but this entire endeavor with dealing with muggle technology, and becoming one of those set him off...his groove. ]

Muggles. Squibs. [ Translation: YES. ] Be thankful it does not appear to be permanent.
[ He walks a bit quicker - oh this would be so much easier with Apparation :| - in an attempt to get at least to the hospital lobby before Draco ends up who knows where. As he walks he's also paying attention to what he can see behind Draco in the video. ]
And yet that hospital does not have trick walls or moving staircases. [ Stop storming around. ]

[ Malfoy makes a face. ] I'm not going to be thankful for anything, in this place, Professor. Can't be thankful for something i never wanted, can i?
[ Snarky teen is snarky. ]
Yeah, well those I was used to. [ Draco inhales again, holding his breath slightly, stops, and looks around. His face turns grimly surprised, as the video tilts to the sign he's looking at, declaring Morgue.
He pales slightly, although that probably would be hard to tell on his alabaster skin. His brows do rise though. ]
Oh brilliant.

[ Oh for the love of Merlin's ridiculous beard. He actually sneers. ] You will learn to be thankful as the days go by and you can rely on the thought that it is a temporary situation. It has nothing to do with whether or not you wanted this or anything else.
[ It's going to be a curse not being able to brew a good headache potion if he needs it after dealing with all of this.
He noticed the changes over Draco first before noticing the sign. ] I suggest honoring what that sign is attempting to tell you by not stomping through that door. [ Though if he just slows down Severus figures he'll cross paths with him easier.
Too bad there's no guarantee this is going to be easy hunting down the teen. ]
