✔ second video;

I can't believe a few days ago it was June for me and now it's the first of September. [ Remus is sitting cross-legged on his bed, leaflets of information spread before him. He's no longer in his school uniform but what he is wearing is quite close - a soft grey jumper that's rolled up to his elbows, a shirt underneath with a crooked collar. His smile is soft, open and eager. The thing about Remus Lupin is he likes making friends. What else would a person do here? Though he's still not quite sure what to do with his device, he's trying. If this is how people communicate then he'll get used to it.

Ginny was kind enough to let him stay with her and for that he's eternally grateful. It might not have been as easy for him to adjust or settle were he on his own. And besides, she's a witch. They're not from the same year but it's close enough.
] I should be getting on a train right about now, heading back to school. There'd be new books and parchment and classes and a whole different timetable and instead there's ... well, Xanadu's nice? I've explored quite a bit. And you have a lot of interesting creatures in the zoo.

[ A pause. It would be so easy to get bored, complacent. He doesn't want that. And he wants to find a way to help Ginny out. He's not really fond of being a freeloader. ] Actually, I was wondering about finding a job. I'd like to be able to do something and I don't know if there's a center or what have you. [ His qualifications are all wizarding though, so. ] I can pick a lot up up and I'm willing to work on a trial basis if that helps. Does anyone know if someone is looking?

[ A laugh and it's soft and nervous. ] I think I'd go barmy with nothing to do, so I'm open to literally anything.

There's always someone hiring, but around here, I'd be careful about saying you're open to literally anything.

I wouldn't exactly be worried. Just like you'd find in any other place, though, not all of the jobs are likely to be pleasant.

[And there're a fair amount of questionably legal things going on. Not that he'd know about that personally.]

There's never been much of a school here, I don't think. But at least that means you didn't really lose your whole vacation?
recognize_an_opportunity: (pensive)

Sure you can. My unsolicited advice would be to avoid the Underground, in general.

Well, I won't say it isn't strange. It was April when I got here and December at home. [And, you know, decades upon decades but what's that in the long run?]

Finding something else-- a job or something-- will probably help.
recognize_an_opportunity: (yeah tell me another one)

Not that kind of Underground.

[He looks vaguely amused.]

It's what might be appropriately deemed the underbelly of the City. Not a pleasant place.

That can be helpful, too.

You said you're a friend of Ginny's?

There're nice enough people here, but I'm not sure I'd describe the City as a nice place in general. The curses make it difficult to see it that way.

Are you always so polite?
eiremagic: (Eden - looks kind of regal)

[personal profile] eiremagic 2013-09-01 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope you don't mean that literally, yeah?

Any luck on the job end?
eiremagic: (Eden - Hey wait)

You're talking to Neil, yeah? He owns a bookstore.
eiremagic: (Eden - someone shorter than me?)

[personal profile] eiremagic 2013-09-01 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Him'n his friend Todd, but I don't think I've ever spoken to him. It's this dusty old place but it used to be impossible to find a book in there.

Ask him. He might be looking for help.
recognize_an_opportunity: (explaining shit)

[personal profile] recognize_an_opportunity 2013-09-01 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Any number of things. Drugs, gambling, violence...

[That all happens in the City, too, of course, but there's no need to mention his own role in it.]
