[the sound of fingers sliding up and down against the device, including pressing the assortment of buttons before he's sure that something on it must be working and a pale, slightly pointed face comes into view. It's quite obvious that he's unhappy as his face is twisted into a dark scowl and he's tapping on the device with what looks like a stick

Draco.

[he's just staring at the device, because he's pretty sure he just heard a voice through it and his eyes are narrowed and there's a slightly horrified expression on his face as he looks around the room, trying to make sure she's not in the room with him]

Aunt Bellatrix?

[voice ---> video] /flaillllll

[lestrangestone]

Draco.

[Merlin's teat, the horror - it's almost palpable. He doesn't know. Doesn't know where he is or how he's gotten here. Disorienting side effects of this bloody Mist, obviously. She doesn't remember being frightened herself, upon arrival, but he is, however, just a boy. And her nephew. But a fellow Death Eater, first. Her shock isn't so evident, but it's there.]

...

[Stop looking around the room, Draco, we have video. She's in a room, herself, but it doesn't look like the one he's in. It looks more like what he might be accustomed to at home, give or take some dead Anatolian's decor.]

Of course it is. [Seems to have his wits, remembers her name, that's good.]

[private]

Your family isn't here. It's just us [derisive snort] and Remus Lupin.

[...waaaiiiiit. Perhaps it was a trick. Polyjuice potion? A clever glamor? A projection of the creatures that claimed to rule this place? Her eyes narrow.]

How am I to know it's you and not some trick? I---

[Have a creeper!smile, Draco.]

[ooc: She's going to make an attempt a

video; ;D This is awesome

[in_leatherpants]

[he looks moderately horrified when he sees her face on the device, because he's never seen anything like this before and he doesn't even know what a video is, but his lip curls a little as he shakes his head]

What in Merlin's name is going on?

[he shakes his head again, crossing his arms just a little, glancing around again even as he feels the familiar sensation of his aunt creeping into his mind. He's not quite fast enough to block when he's already loosing his cool]

Of course I'm me-- who else would I be? I'm not daft enough to let someone become me.

((ooc;I assumed that since she taught him and since he's already freaking out and he hasn't had enough time to adjust to... well, anything, he'd be easy enough to get into!))

[lumenrelegandus]

Malfoy?

[voice]

[lestrangestone]

[Hr voice is a hiss of malice and disgust.]
How dare you even speak to him!? Crawl back into your hole, Lupin, your [yeah, spitting this word out] aid is not welcome here.

[voice]

[lumenrelegandus]

Surely you can grant him the freedom to ignore me for himself.

[voice]

[lestrangestone]

[Mocking.]

Surely you can stay out of things that don't concern you, dog. [The 'or else' is implied.]

[elementally]

I don't... think this is exactly where you think it is.

[a scowl and his arms are crossed, his wand clutched a little tighter]

Who in Merlin's name are you?

[elementally]

[A pause. Oh, geez... slowly, and calmly:]

My name's Hope. Estheim.

I'm someone else who wound up here without knowing how, but-- well, the whole thing is a lot to take in. Are you okay?

[in_leatherpants]

[his expression doesn't change yet]

Obviously I'm not bloody okay, I've been taken Merlin knows where and everyone in this place seems to be completely mental.

[girl_unlocking]

You're not kidnapped! Or dead, or in hell. A lot of people think that at first, but uh, you got sucked through a door.

[It sucks. To get sucked. Throug a Door. Derp.]

And the door's not locked, so you can go outside if you want, but it's probably not a good idea. A-are you hurt?

[in_leatherpants]

[he sneers and shakes his head; clearly he doesn't believe you]

Nice try, but I wasn't near a bloody door so there's no way someone like me would get pulled through one.

[he pauses for a second, it's weird to have someone strange asking after him like that]

Of course I'm hurt! I'm Merlin knows where and I've been bloody well kidnapped from the manor and I could be fatally wounded for all I know!

[ Voice ]

[knows_it_all]

Not too bright, are you?

[in_leatherpants]

I'm brilliant, actually.

[slaythemoon]

I don't know, the Dark Lord seemed nice enough when I offered to mow the lawn in exchange for a him taking out the trash last week.

[in_leatherpants]

[he just. stares.]

You're bonkers, aren't you? Am I in St. Mungo's, then?

[slaythemoon]

Nah, I'm Ichigo, and this... No Man's Land is Anatole.

What the hell is St. Mungo? Sounds like a bad fruit.

[in_leatherpants]

It's not a fruit-- are you really that bloody stupid? It's a hospital. For people who are as bonkers are you are, obviously.
