1.) How is it possible to still feel trapped on an island this large and populated?

2.) Did it have to be cats? I was quite fond of not having fuzzy ears. Now I know how Hermione felt...

3.) There's a shop here I'm interested in. I think it's called Marauding Magic. What can anyone tell me about it? Thanks in advance.

Yes, no, and the upper levels are booby trapped. Coincidentally, your godfather has all but locked himself up on the top floor.

...Sorry about that.

[seeked]

Erm. Might I ask why he's gone and locked himself up?

[easy_a]

I suppose so. He tell you about his dating life yet?

[seeked]

...what? No. We haven't really discussed that yet.

[hammerhappy]

Because even those impossible to trap are trapped.

[seeked]

What do you qualify as being impossible to trap though?

voice;

[hammerhappy]

The God of Thunder.

[seeked]

...you. You're a god?

[peckish4action]

A trap is a trap, no matter the size or amenities.

[seeked]

But with a trap there's always an escape route, isn't there? So what's the island's?

[peckish4action]

I'm sure there are people here and there working on finding it out. I mean, we're probably like rats in one of those labyrinths. Those who do find the way out are taken away before they get a chance to let the rest of us know.

[seeked]

Sounds like that strategy would get boring really, really fast.

[everythingspandex]

1. Because it's creepy.
2. At least it wasn't lizards.
3. I got nothing.

[seeked]

You're still here, I see.

1.) Creepy doesn't even begin to cover it.
2.) What exactly is wrong with lizards?
3.) I really ought to ask him myself, but...it's a bit strange.

[everythingspandex]

Yep. Lucky me.

1. It really doesn't. I even got an alternate me to be creeped out about. Not that he's a creepy guy. He's cool. But still.
2. You just don't want people turning into lizards. Trust me. Cats are better. Unless people are turning into lions. Are there lions?
3. Too strange to ask?

[seeked]

1.) I suppose I ought to be grateful there isn't an alternate me running about, but I can't get over the fact that so many people know more about my life than I do.
2.) There was a lion before...or a large cat. Some large, magical cat. Nothing to worry about now as far as I know.
3.) Not only is he much older in my world, he's also dead. Seeing him here and knowing that he knows about the future, including my future? A little too strange.

[swordhappy]

Because it is a tiny island. Especially when you cannot leave.

[seeked]

Has the island ever grown bigger? Is that even possible here?

[swordhappy]

If it has, not in my time. I would know of it the moment it did, for there would be something I had yet to see.

[notinthecards]

Being trapped is a state of mind. I like the ears!

I know they sell exploding cards there. And Monsieur Noir is a friend of mine.

[seeked]

That's an interesting way to look at it. So I suppose you don't see this as being trapped then?

Exploding cards...like a card game? Does the name Exploding Snap sound familiar? Sirius is from my world, so I'm curious what he's been up to here.

[notinthecards]

That's the one. Didn't know how familiar you would be. I'm the official island champion of Exploding Snap.

Remy LeBeau.

As for trapped... it comes and it goes, mon ami. On a good day I'm a king in his court. On a bad day, just a beggar in a Madripoor slum. Like everybody, I think.

[He just isn't good at pressing those small buttons, so audio it is.]

...just how much cat did you turn?

audio

[seeked]

[Hey there Sirius. He sounds sheepish when he responds.]

Just the ears. Are you cat-free?

audio

[alwaysimpure]

Other than fighting the urge to chase around every cat I see, I'm doing fine on the cat front.

Did you get cat-like hearing or anything useful like that at least?
