My excitement, let me show it to you

[Phone]

[The ever sarky Sirius Black is currently elated beyond reason. Why? Because the best of his best mates is here. In his house, sleeping in awful itchy black pajamas and asking all sorts of questions. Who else would he gush at then one Lily Evans who is his skinny dipping mate and girl-bro extraordinaire.]

Lils! Lils, he's here! Have you seen him? I mean really seen him? They've decided he's my brother in this place. Of course he's my brother. It's the perfect place for him. I'm going to go use this weird identification card one of the blokes in school gave me to go get alcohol so we can celebrate. You should come over. Hell, everyone's invited. We'll have a party of it at my house or in the park or lake or something. It clearly needs to be celebrated, yeah?

Am I invited, then?

Re: [phone]

[Sirius is silent for a long time. He had no idea that Remus was here.]

Mitchell. Get here now.

[He will not be allowing Remus to say no because the other boy demands a bug 'brother-like' hug. Then they are going to get booze.]

[phone]

[werewolfoflondon]

Why are you calling me Mitchell now?

Re: [phone]

[sothis_rising]

[He can't help but laugh at Remus. He's so beautifully thick and so beautifully Remus-like.]

That's the street I live on. Get over here so I can make sure you're real.

[phone] --> [action]

[werewolfoflondon]

Alright, just-- well, brace yourself. It's a bit different.

[action]
[Different isn't entirely the word for it, but Remus is so conflicted regarding their current predicament, he's not even sure he could grasp for a more appropriate word. Because his head feels much too full already. Only last night, he'd fallen into some kind of torrid love affair with his pillows after wandering near-delirious back to the dormitory, half-dead from studying for exams. He thought for certain it was only a very lucid dream when he'd woken in this place, in that room, in those pajamas...

But James is here. And Sirius. And Merlin, even Lily. They'll figure it all straight, eventually. Together.

It might have been easier to bike, but Remus opts to hoof it clear over to Mitchell Road and up to the door of 1449, hammering on it with the side of his fist.

And there he waits. Scarless as the day he was born, hair somewhat dissheveled, and in the poorest state of dress Sirius has probably ever seen of him. Wrinkled khaki pants and a plaid shirt only barely buttoned over his white t-shirt. The strange woman in his house would have had a fit if she'd seen him leave like that.]

[bespell]

Oh.




They've sent him to live with you?!

Wait, are you planning something illegal?

Re: Phone

[sothis_rising]

No worse then we've already done. You're coming right?

[bespell]

But you've done so much already, it's hard to say.

I suppose someone needs to keep an eye on everyone else.

[sothis_rising]

Exactly. You're my redheaded voice of reason, aren't you?

Besides, the toasters had it coming.

[bespell]

[She groans, not at property destruction as much as inevitable electrocution.] Just don't do anything to get arrested for until I get there.

And that's not invitation to do it after I get there, either.

[all_ofthethings]

[Greed chuckles when he gets to the part about fake identification cards.]

How old are you, kid? Cause as long as you're over ten, I have no problem getting you the booze.

[sothis_rising]

Eighteen. Back home it's not even an illegal thing. Just these stupid weird American laws.

[all_ofthethings]

Yeah, these laws are different than what most of us are used to, but if you can come up with the cost of the booze, I can buy it for you. Heck, you can even wait outside the liquor store while I purchase it if you don't trust me.

[sothis_rising]

I can come up with the money. I have a few people I need to make sure are real before I do anything else. Meet you there around noon?

[all_ofthethings]

Sounds like a plan, kid. My name's Greed by the way.

[nonmetus]

Oi, what's this? Are you having a party without me? [Why yes James picked up the phone in a different part of the house and is now talking to you on it even though he's about a room over] But I do vote yes on the alcohol. Always the alcohol, mate!

[sothis_rising]

The party is for you mate. Who else would I be this bleeding happy to see?

[nonmetus]

Your Mum. [James laughs, yelling through the house instead of into the phone] And when did you get on first name terms with Evans?

[sothis_rising]

She's your mum too now.

[He leans out the door to the room and flips James the bird.]

Worried I'm gonna try to steal her away?

[nonmetus]

You have less chance than I do! [James yells back, holding up two fingers]

In the house! (And let's just assumed they sort of bumped into each other around the house)

[derp_detective]

[Gumshoe was about to take Missile out for a walk when he caught Sirius on the phone, stopping to talk.]

Oh, so you know the new guy? That's great! It's nice to have a familiar face here, you know? And you guys can have a party hear if you want, I can get some food and snacks if you want.

...Wait, did you say something about a fake ID and alcohol?

Re: In the house! (Makes sense to me)

[sothis_rising]

New bloke's my best mate from home. As for the alcohol don't worry about it, I've got a bloke going out for me.

[derp_detective]

Well that's great!

...Er, great that he has familiar faces here for him, I mean. Not that he's actually here.

But I meant, if you have to use fake IDs, you're underage, right? You shouldn't really be drinking alcohol.

[sothis_rising]

First of all, your not my dad, I can do what I want. Second, I am of age, just not by the rules of this ruddy hellhole we're stuck in.

[derp_detective]

Aw geeze, I didn't mean to piss you off, I'm just worried, alright? This town enforces it's rules pretty randomly but severely at times...

But you're of age from where you're from? So you know your limits and stuff, right? Not going to get so plastered you're going to get hurt yourself or anybody, then? Because that's what I'm more worried about than anything...
