voice testing.

[expelliarmusing]

I'm not exactly sure what you're on about, "testing my voice." Obviously, I can hear you, and hopefully you're getting the message from me. You know I've, ah... got loads going on right now, so if you don't mind sending me back...?

... You're not going to, though, are you. Fantastic.

[mankindly]

Could be worse, I s'pose. I mean, it might be a decent break.

[courageous_wit]

They never send you back, Harry. But it's not always bad. I'm living right next to the library in the game my mun sent me.

[wingardium]

They don't often listen to what we want, from what I've gathered, unfortunately. Sorry, Harry. But...it's good to see you?

[expelliarmusing]

[Okay, that. Was sort of alarming.]

My... Mun. [Is that what they're called?]</small. Right.

[expelliarmusing]

Yeah. [Seriously.] Yeah, that's true.

[expelliarmusing]

Never? [And she says it so calmly. Wait a tic, that's--]

Oh-- Hermione. [And he's relieved, of course.] What're you doing here, anyway? What're these 'games' I keep hearing about?

[expelliarmusing]

[Another Hermione. Bliiiink.]

It's good to see you, too. [Beat.] ... What's going on?

[wingardium]

What do you mean 'what's going on', Harry?

[courageous_wit]

[yeah she's gotten used to delivering bad news, sigh]

"Games" are places where the muns send us to interact with other people. I've gotten to meet loads of interesting people.

[expelliarmusing]

Well, that doesn't sound... too bad. [He says it cautiously, because there's probably more to the story.]

So, they're just picking and choosing, taking us from one place and throwing us into another?

[expelliarmusing]

I've just been told. [Sigh.] About these games, and all.

[courageous_wit]

It has its good moments.

More or less, yes.

[wingardium]

Mine wanted to take me to one but changed her mind. Still, I suppose some 'games' have a better setting than others. Did yours have any in mind?

[badgering]

Technically speaking, the loads of stuff get dealt with anyways. Otherwise my timeline would be a whole lot different than it actually was.

[wasthemaster]

Honestly, Potter, you can't go around expecting special treatment everywhere.

FUUUU HTML.

[expelliarmusing]

Uh, yeah. How d'you know about me?

[... Wait, revise.]

I mean, what exactly... are you?

[expelliarmusing]

That's about what I've heard. [From the others, all packed up inside the 'head-space.']

[expelliarmusing]

I don't think so, no. [He shrugs.] She's got a few of the others here and there, and... well, honestly, another seems like it'd be too much to handle.

[expelliarmusing]

Yeah? [He's still a newcomer to all this nonsense.] How d'you figure?

[expelliarmusing]

[Of course. Siiigh.]

I don't think a bit of an explanation's too much to ask for.

[badgering]

Well, for instance, if it hadn't I'd probably be dead, since, y'know, Muggleborn.

[wasthemaster]

What sort of an explanation could you possibly need? Your mun's decided that for whatever reason they like you and therefore they've chosen to start plotting your demise. If your mun "likes" you enough, if you respond in just the right way? Your demise begins with a game.

Honestly, it's not that hard to understand. [Don't mind Draco, he's kind of just bitter his mun has him in two games. Two sets of torture, really.]

[wingardium]

I suppose that's probably a good thing in some ways at least. Mine has me here and every now and then there are those 'meme's and also her 'musebox'.

[expelliarmusing]

Sounds more like what mine's planning. [He heaves a sigh.] Can't be too terrible, though... right?

[expelliarmusing]

Ah-- Right. Guess so.

[expelliarmusing]

... Right. Brilliant. [Sounds lovely.] I guess you've been sent to one of these games already, then?

[wingardium]

I guess that would depend what she intends to do with you. But for the most part I haven't found it too bad, given mine doesn't particularly have me around too much.

[wasthemaster]

Two of them, actually. The odd part is how different they are from one another. Muggles and their ideas...

[expelliarmusing]

Sounds like what I'm in for. [He breathes a sigh of relief; some of the stories he's been told about the more "active" muses, well. They're not exactly comforting.]

Don't suppose you've got a library for yourself up there, too?

[He cracks a grin.]

[expelliarmusing]

That's one way to put it. [You have no idea, Harry. No idea.] I think I'm safe for now, but... well, like you said. They've all got these ideas.

[wingardium]

My mun is quite the reader, even if a lot of the time she is re-reading books she already has and knows. I guess I am glad of that much at least, though hopefully she finds the time to visit the library and try find something new soon.
