[ With the moon Remus hasn't been able to check in with as many people as he would have liked. The uncomfortable feeling under his skin had forced him to spend a lot longer in the cabin, as though half afraid the wolf would come unbidden without the moon. Then the night itself he'd been stuck between too states, human with the monster in his eyes and he'd been glad when he'd woken up to find the door intact and the wards holding and his own blood the only taste in his mouth.
So when he appears on the feed, he looks tired, lips bitten but not really any worse for wear. He's had a few days to recover and now there's a more important matter to attend to. ] Hello --. Sorry, I would have gone to the proper authority on this but I don't know who that is. I'm just wondering if there's a defensive team within the City, maybe aur -- police. [ For a minute, Remus looks abnormally pleased with himself and those who don't know where he's from might just wonder why he's so happy about policemen.
It's short-lived between one step and the next, because the feed goes dark and there's an almighty crack. It runs for a few, long seconds of black void before his voice comes. ] Lumos.
[ Remus' device is on the ground, his wand now held in his hand. A scar across his knuckles is sharper now, his fist white and gripped. Around his ankle there's a tree root, gnarled and tightening with each second. It looks nothing like the trees within the City usually, colours wrong and filled in like waxy crayons. ] What --? [ But he knows before it acts, because the tree that has been growing from the cracks lifts him up, wood curled as though two seconds away from making sure Remus is a bloody splatter across the pavement. He's knows a tree like that quite intimately. But there's no knob this time, nowhere to aim his spell and imbolise it. ] Incendio.
[ It's not his best plan, but the tree catches fire before it can lift him to full height and he kicks at the smouldering branches before tumbling back to the ground. He lands on his ankle and the expression on his face is certainly not good, but Remus is too busy making sure the entire thing goes down in flames. He breathes heavily through his nose, and with a quietly whispered ferula, he splints up his ankle. Then his fingers are curling around the device and lifting it up. ]
So about your aurors. [ Grim and in pain. ] I'd like to speak to them. [ A pause. ] Though maybe a little later.

[Ginny sounds alarmed, angry. She knows he's a capable wizard but that doesn't stop her from demanding, worry strung through her tired voice,]
Are you alright? What happened? Where are you?
no subject
I'm about to move. [ He uses the brick of the wall behind him to pull himself up, face white for a moment as he rests his weight on his injured leg. ] It doesn't feel right here. I think there's something --. [ All the hair on his body is standing up and he takes a few hobbling steps. ] That was definitely magic.

[It's different, heavier, Darker. More danger than mischief and it creeps in her blood.]
Your ankle— [Yes, she's fretting.] Can you mend it? I can if you don't... I only mean it's happened to me before. They're all over the place, these patches of spellwork. If we can even call them that.
no subject
It should be fine in a minute. I just need to find somewhere to sit and fix it.

[ Your new favourite wolf-child will impose some manners in you eventually, don't think he won't.
He offers up a thin smile, still essentially limping away from the pit of magical energy. He doesn't like to leave it there but he doesn't understand it. Nor does he wish to try and heal his bones beside it. Who knows what affect it could have on his own magic? ] I was attacked by a magical tree, I believe.

[ He lifts both his eyebrows which just makes him look oddly innocent. ] It looked like one from back home only ... different.

[SIGH.]

I can fix it, I just didn't want to do it beside ... whatever that was. It didn't feel good.

[ Because he is bench bound until he feels strong enough to heal his own goddamn bones. At least after the full moon he aches everywhere enough to not notice one spot. ]

So what happened?
no subject
There are some women with very bad magic who have left a lot of traps around the City. I fell into one.
no subject
[Because he will.]

[ Derek can probably hear the bones knitting back together, Remus'hand steady on his wand. ] I think it surprised me more than anything.

Aurors, Mister Lupin?

Yes? [ By now he's found a bench to sprawl on and fix his broken bones. ] Considering I just outed myself as a Wizard to the entire City, I thought it would be all right to forgo trying to use Muggle words.

When I was outed as a Starship Captain, I didn't go calling for Starfleet Command. [ in part because she's the highest ranking member of starfleet present... ] In a situation such as ours, secrets become harder to hide. Surely they wouldn't blame you.

[ Granted, that could be the massive amounts of pain too but he's not sure. ] But everyone saw me do magic, it's up there on the network, and Ginny doesn't hide what she is, so it's probably all right. [ The one thing he won't bring up ever is his lycanthropy. There's nothing to be ashamed of about being a Wizard.
There is everything to be about the werewolf. ] I want to help. And if I can use my skills to do that, it's better, isn't it?
video »
[ funny how conversing with a young wizard is putting a few starfleet matters in perspective for her. thank you for that, remus. ]

There are people in my world who do have propensity for dark magic but neither I, nor Ginny, are at all like that. And we help if we can. We'll do whatever it takes.

We didn't have anything like this-- not just curses, I mean, there wasn't anything magical in my world. Now I've got a dragon living in my bookstore. You get used to it, like I said.
