First Howl + Video

[It starts with cursing, with some fumbling with the device: and this is why Peter never wanted Roman's fucking iPhone. Jesus fuck how do you get this thing to work?]

Yo.

[There's finally a wave of fingers, although it seems lackluster. Flat blue eyes set into a scruffy face as the image finally catches something more engaging than the floor swings into view. Oh, hey. He's in a pair of boxers that look a little overworn, and he's on the furry side for a teen boy as slender as he is. There's a stylized 'g' tattooed on the left side of his ribs.]

Does anyone have any smokes? I don't do charity, but I'll trade something for it.

[There is a pause, he seems like he's about to cut the feed, but there's a moment of hesitance that ends in mute cursing. He doesn't care, none of this fucking matters. Fuck this place.]

And pants. I guess.

Comments

[velveteenwolf]

And here I thought it was just my pretty face. Guess I'm not so special after all.

[Honestly, he's still not sure what he thinks about how nice people are. It almost makes him think that they're too nice, that there's something wrong with this place. It's just this side of unnerving.]

[mapmaker]

I'm Remus, Remus Lupin. I've only been here a little while too but if I can help in any way I will.

[velveteenwolf]

Peter Rumancek. Gypsy. I'll keep you in mind if I run into trouble.

[There's a half-smile that says he always runs into trouble.]

[mapmaker]

[ Remus has no hang-ups about gypsies. They have their own kind of magic but they mostly stick to themselves. Sometimes they get students at Hogwarts from travelling communities. ]

Do. I'll do my best. Where are you from, Peter?

[velveteenwolf]

Well, I was in Pennsylvania before I ended up here.

[From is a difficult question for Peter because it implies a home, it implies a sense of belonging that he's only ever felt for a person and not for a place.]

[mapmaker]

Oh. [ He realises maybe he's overstepped a mark but he's a friendly enough boy. ]

I've never been that far. Is it nice?
