first full moon ☾

[phone - open]



That's not precisely how I expected to wake up yesterday, but all things considered, it could be worse.

Well then, introductions, I suppose. Best as I can manage, at least. My name is Remus, and I assure you that I am a completely uninteresting human being. So uninteresting, I can't rightly think how to introduce myself, apparently.

[sigh] I always was crap at this.

I'm still-- still trying to work everything out here, so if someone would be so kind as to entertain a few questions? I realize we're all relatively in the dark here, but...

Ah, never mind.

Are you on the phone? [Lily calls down from the living room, trying her best to ignore her drone mother who's reminding her to be nice to her brother. Boys have their certain needs and time alone.]

[werewolfoflondon]

[After a moment, Remus pokes his head outside the bedroom door.]

...just finished. Did you need it?

[bespell]

I was wondering if you've managed to learn how to use it, that's all. [She looks over her shoulder at the drone mother in the kitchen, before heading up the stairs.] You know they monitor the lines, right?

[nonmetus]

Give yourself some credit, dearest darlingest Moonsikins. You sound fabulous. All of the fine young women here will flock to your sultry voice!

[werewolfoflondon]

Sultry, yes. That's what I am. [Can you hear him facepalming, James? Can you?]

Just come over, will you? From what I hear, our house is a bit less crowded than yours.

[nonmetus]

Is it? Well, I suppose we've got my new Mum, my new Dad, and my two lovely siblings! That is quite full, isn't it? Back home I've only got Mum and Dad and Padsy.

[This response comes with a quiet, amused but relatively polite laugh before someone speaks.]

I can't answer that many questions because I only got here a few days ago, too... but it's nice to meet you, Mr. Remus.

[phone]

[werewolfoflondon]

If that's a fact, suppose we help each other figure everything out?

Might I have your name, then?

[cursedtolive]

Sure thing! We can share anything we learn, right? My name is... Czeslaw. You can call me Czes.

[infourbooks]

[That's... weirdish]

I don't think anyone ever expects to wake up here the first time.

[werewolfoflondon]

Well I should hope not. Rather strange world we'd live in, if everyone expected that.

How long have you been here, then?

[rebelcommunion]

You sound like you're trying to convince yourself of that! You don't need to try to pretend if you aren't. There are quite a few of us who aren't human!

But I can try to answer your questions!

[werewolfoflondon]

[Hey, no, he is totally not bristling at that. And he will totally not acknowledge it either. Nope, not acknowledging it. Not--]

What do you mean, "aren't human"?

[werejew]

Humans are totally fucking boring.

[hi welcome to your nightmares]

[werewolfoflondon]

Do you think so? I've never much minded them.

[This is inconspicuousness. Complete and total inconspicuousness.]

[logic_and_magic]

[Yup, suspicious already. Just with the sheer amount of how uninteresting he said he was, just makes Crown question this. But whatever, he's not going to pry. Not like it matters much anyways.

A boy around the age of fifteen comes on the line.]

It seems I am not the only new captive either. I do not know much about this town either but I am willing to attempt to help at answering if I already know the answer to a question.

[werewolfoflondon]

Captives? I mean, this is a fair bit nicer than prison, I imagine. But you have a point.

I can't say I rightly know what to ask, though. Has anyone-- well, told you anything?

[queen_of_swords]

I find that those who try to emphasize how uninteresting they are usually turn out to be quite interesting.

I'd stop repeating how uninteresting you are if you want people to believe it. I can answer question you have to the best of my ability though.

[werewolfoflondon]

Oh really, who wants to be interesting though? You start being interesting and people get expectations, and really I'd rather not live with that sort of burden.

But if you're offering, I suppose my most pressing question is-- just, has anyone managed to discern why we've all been brought here?

[encored]

[yep he's just laughing it up over here]

What a completely innocuous introduction. The most mundane I've heard from a newcomer yet. --Ah, except the one from that strange child who couldn't stop stammering and crying.

At any rate, I'll likely be able to answer a few questions. I've been here for a while.

[werewolfoflondon]

Mundane mediocrity, that's what I strive for. Of course, it would be much easier without people doubting me straight out the door.

Have you been here for a while? How long?

Phone ◈

[pseudohistory]

A human, you say? I haven't met a human in a while.

[ So excited. ] I'm Keine Kamishirasawa. Are you still in need of answers to your questions, Mr Remus?

[werewolfoflondon]

Hello Keine. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[Yes he is totally human. What.]

I've already met quite a few people who claim not to be human. Are you among them?

phone

[mydear]

I don't think I've ever heard of a human being that wasn't interesting.

[werewolfoflondon]

Then you've clearly yet to hear of me.

Shall I take that to mean you are also not human?
