I have found myself in the most curious sort of predicament. One moment, I was dead and the next, I am standing in the middle of what I can only describe as a room with a remarkable view. To further complicate matters, I have located this device which is all too foreign to me. Thankfully, I am in full possession of my wits - which are substantial - and I was able to turn it on.

[He pauses to let his words sink in before continuing, his tone as light and unassuming as ever:]

My name is Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, though that is rather much to remember. There was a time that I simply responded to Albus, so I think that shall do for the present time.

What I seek are answers and I will patiently await them until either they drift my way or I discover them on my own.

It is, which is why I prefer to go by Albus.

Are you sure that's alright? You sound like the kind of person who I would have to use a title with...

[aphoenixsong]

Titles are mere fabrications of those who wish to give themselves a sense of importance. I have had many titles, but now that I am dead, the titles died with me.

[cyan_maid]

Hm...that's a very interesting way to look at it.

Albus it is, then. It's nice to meet you!

[aphoenixsong]

Likewise. What shall I call you in return?

[cyan_maid]

Jane! My name is Jane.

[aphoenixsong]

Greetings, Jane. Should you need assistance of the Magical kind, please feel free to contact me.

[cyan_maid]

I will! Though I'm not sure how much magical assistance I might need.

[aphoenixsong]

You never know - particularly in a Magical castle.

[cyan_maid]

Hmmm. I suppose that's true.
