[001 | video] So put on your best, boys

[ofawitch]

[The video clicks on to a woman in her late teens, with very red hair and very green eyes and a very British sort of accent, clearing her throat in that slightly nervous way associated with public speaking. Working the Guide - turning it on anyway - was fairly easy, after looking over all the knobs. Lucky she'd been raised in a Muggle household;

[And just when he'd thought Remus and Sirius were the only ones coming through in arrivals, he hears this.]

[VIDEO!] 2/?

[stagsalot]

[BLOODY HELL.

He's initially excited, ready to start acting like a complete idiot, as usual, and stops himself just before he connects...

Merlin's bollocks, this was going to get awkward, wasn't it?]

[VIDEO!] 3/3

[stagsalot]

[Well, no worrying about that now. What is this thinking before he speaks?]

L-Lily?

[Alright, so he was never terribly eloquent.]

[ofawitch]

James?!

[she fumbles to get the Guide all set up as it's supposed to and goes from looking SHOCKED to vaguely annoyed. Very vaguely. Her heart is barely in it.]

Bloody took you long enough! Are you all right?

[deathbydrapes]

Evans! I'm touched! I had no idea you missed me so much!

(Aka: Hi! I am glad you are alive!)

[a theatrical sigh.]

I saw this Vogon and thought, "Why, he smells just like Sirius's socks after he hasn't washed them and just left them lying about for anyone to find even though it isn't his flat," and you know how sentimental I am.

[DITTO ETC.]

Re: (video)

[deathbydrapes]

Why, Evans! The fact that you've taken the time to smell my own socks is truly flattering. You should be proud! Not everyone gets so lucky.

Re: (video)

[ofawitch]

I would have liked a say in the matter, to be honest, and I rather hope to never have to repeat the experience again. Have you just arrived?

[...Lily?]

[She knew that name. Oh, how she knew that name. It feels like she and James had just finished that emotional roller coaster of a conversation. And that awful feeling in the pit of her stomach hadn't gone away since. Now she knew why.]

[But for the moment, she would smile and play her part. For James.]

I-if someone hasn't helped you already, there is a map or something on your Ma--I mean--your Guide. It should be able to help you get around.

Re: [video]

[ofawitch]

Someone's come 'round to fetch me, but I'd still like to know how to get to that map, if you don't mind. I'm not really used to this sort of thing.

Re: [video]

[lovesagoodmisog]

That's good. A friend of yours?

Actually...to be honest...I'm not really too good with the map. My Guide has a giant silver arrow appear to point me in the direction I need to go whenever I ask it. But I don't know anyone else's Guide that does that.

[ofawitch]

He is now, I suppose. That's quite handy though; can't hurt to see about something like that until I get my bearings. Thanks anyway.

[feistyflowright]

Lily Evans... It's been a while.

[ofawitch]

Sorry?

[feistyflowright]

Ah~ It seems you don't remember me... how unfortunate.

[ofawitch]

Think you must have the wrong person.

[gotcocoa]

It's good to see you, Lily. I thought I'd be the only one attempting to keep James and Sirius in line.

[ meaning IT'S GOOD YOU'RE ALIVE, ETC, etc ]

[ofawitch]

Heard you were running around here, Moony. Have they been driving you mad already?

[WHY ADMIT TO OUR TRUE FEELINGS WHEN WE CAN JUST TALK AROUND THEM.]

[gotcocoa]

When do they not?

[ smiles! ]

You've spoken to James, then.

[ not a question. HE JUST ASSUMES, YOU KNOW. ]

[ofawitch]

Do you know he's been here three months? And hasn't died of starvation. I've never been prouder, Remus. Talked to Sirius too, but you know - well, are you both in one piece?
