[ ms. hermione granger ]

Hello. I wonder if I could trouble you to take a walk with me.

[ mr. draco malfoy ]

Hello, Draco. It's been a while, hasn't it? Would you care to join me for a cup of tea?

[ dictated ]

[ friends and acquaintances ]

I hope you all will forgive me for the deliberately small splash I created with my arrival. To be honest, I had a lot of things to remember, and many events to reconcile in my mind, between my home, Paris, and Paradisa.

Goodness, I actually will not be surprised if most of you have forgotten me. It has been a long time, after all.


[ later this afternoon:

it's cold out, but dumbledore has decided that after the past few days, he wants to spend some time outside. he has therefore cleared himself a spot under a tree, spread a blanket and cast some heating charms, and is quietly reading. he obviously needs to be bothered. ]

Comments

Albus Dumbledore

[courageous_wit]

Yes, of course! I would like that.

ms. granger

[incantati]

Splendid! Should you like to meet me in the lobby in say, ten minutes?

Albus Dumbledore

[courageous_wit]

I can be there sooner. I only live on the fifth floor.

Mr. Albus

[adorbs]

That's okay... [arriving suddenly when they had a whole life... has to be hard]

Um, welcome back.

Nanako

[incantati]

Nanako... [ he smiles to himself. ]

Are you sure you don't feel like yelling at me a little?

Albus

[onlyanapple]

[Oh hey look, Crowley's dragged himself out of his pit of misery enough to answer you]

I have a very good memory. Hallo, Albus.

Crowley

[incantati]

[ nooo, why is everyone sad. ;( ]

I suppose you would need one, with a lifespan like yours. Hello, Crowley. It really is very good to hear from you.

[fromanorphanage]

[Tom is looking for snakes and might be hissing in Dumbledore's hearing range. Poor boy doesn't understand this place.]

[incantati]

[ it doesn't take very long for him to pick up the sound of hissing, and search for and find the source. he notes that the boy making it doesn't sound as if he's simply making up sounds, but he doesn't jump to conclusions. he raises his voice so that it carries. ]

Hello there.

Friends Filter, Forever!

[cricketycricket]

I think it would be rather impossible to forget you, Albus, old friend.

sweet!

[incantati]

[ warmly: ]

You flatter me far too much, Doctor. Forgive me for taking pleasure in your continued captivity, but you don't know how pleased I was to know that you are still here.

Albus

[someoneto_carry]

So should I say welcome back?

Zoe

[incantati]

As good a start as any, I should say. Hello, Zoe!

[doublethefun]

[with a small thump, a winged unicorn lands carefully on one of the upper branches of the tree. This dislodges some of the snow, however.]

[incantati]

[ which of course, he couldn't have seen coming. snow falling on top of your head and sliding down your back is never pleasant, so give him a second to yelp quietly in surprise, and charm it away. that done, he looks up, and -- ]

Oh!

[ he blinks. he has never known 1) unicorns to exist in paradisa 2) unicorns to be that colour at any stage in their lives 3) unicorns to be susceptible to any magic that would change the colour of their coats. he stares a bit. ]

Well, hello there.

[signedlefthanded]

[Violet may never be able to get over magic. It's just simply impossible back home. But here, she's fascinated with it. She was simply passing through, taking a walk from the Doctor's TARDIS to the castle when she saw him performing the spell.]

Can I ask how you did that?

[incantati]

[ he smiles at the girl. one of the things he does so like about paradisa, is being able to be open about his magic. ]

Certainly, you may. Would you like the long version, or the short version?

[cantacquityou]

[So, since Edgeworth's not the type to walk up to someone and strike up some small talk, have an enormous dog-like thing running up to sniff and curiously inspect you while he runs after her from a distance...]

1.00

[cantacquityou]

Come back here at once!

[As he arrives, he flings his arms around her neck in an attempt to restrain her.] Behave yourself!

I...[pants]...beg your pardon. I'm very sorry, she's...quite friendly, no need to be alarmed...

[iamdamnloyal]

[Harmony has found her way outside. She doesn't mind the cold, but she doesn't like being alone for too long, especially when she's parted from her sisters. So she's found someone and has decided to seek his company.]

Are you comfortable here? [Her head tips to the side, her long hair falling off her shoulders as she speaks.]

[incantati]

[ he closes his book at her approach, looking up with a friendly smile. he certainly won't say no to company. ]

Very much so. As chilly as it is, the scenery is certainly something to look at, isn't it?

/finally tags you, WHUT

[peacockherald]

<sub>[Of course he does. Especially because Vanyel is growing more curious about other magics in this world, and about pooling them to perhaps craft a way home for everyone who wishes it, since his own Gates so spectacularly backfired.

Vanyel, for himself, was still wrapped in winter wear and was heading out to see Yfandes, as he did everyday, and saw Albus. Curious, he came over... and gasped when he felt the heat.]</sub>

What sort of shield is this?

COME AND GET ME BABY

[incantati]

[ he had already closed his book upon seeing this young man approach; he tucks it away now. ]

No shield of any kind, friend, though what you perceive is true. I have indeed made modifications to my little nook.

[wishmadeinfire]

<sub>[Ashura had been heading back in from town and from seeing his dragon-horse, Svitana, and he is bundled up like he should be going to Anartica, not a mild February winter. He does not like cold, Albus, can you tell - with his thick cloak rimmed with fur?

He spots the man being ridiculous and reading out in the cold and comes over, and then pauses, blinking at the warmth he feels.]</sub>

Comfortable, are we?

[incantati]

[ he smiles up at the strange lady; apologies in advance, ashura. ]

Quite. I do enjoy my comforts; it is a fault that many of us share.
