[It's Sirius Black, on video, apparently in a good mood. That can't be good.]

I'm interrupting everyone's busy schedule of catching mice and grooming for a very important announcement: It's Harry's birthday tomorrow! Happy Birthday, Harry!




[A wizard with a wand and some fre time on his hands can do a lot of real life sparkles.]

So, I'm not sure how comfortable you are with making this all public, but let's be honest, birthdays are always partly an excuse to publicly embarrass the birthday boy. At least I'm not singing. Yet. I will in a few hours, when it's your actual birthday, I'm just starting early, because you never know what this island will be up to next.

I did however already get you a present and I think I finally managed to work out most of the kinks.

[With that he moves the device to show the gift he made for him.]



I've been working on it for a while now and chances are this one won't break free and evade capture for months on end. Probably. Anyway, I'd like to celebrate. If you don't mind. There's a lot of catching up to do and I have some things to show you.

Everyone else, you should celebrate tomorrow too! It's a great day.

[Private to Sheska and Once-ler]

I need birthday food for a teenage boy and I thought, hey, I know two people very likely to be willing and able to help me out. Against payment of course, Once-ler. Maybe you two could work on it together? [nudge nudge wink wink]

[ooc: Sorry for spamming the comm, but it's HARRY POTTER'S BIRTHDAY, damn it. Also, the image isn't quite right, but you try finding a flying broom that's not a replica of a Harry Potter movie prop.]

We're working on it, I s'pose.

My mother said me and everyone I care for would die horrible death and deserve every bit of suffering coming our way, so... Maybe don't believe everything your mother tells you.

Do you really think Sheska could harm your business?

[thneed]

Uhh. Your mom sounds evil.

Well no...

[alwaysimpure]

She was an evil bitch, no doubt.

Then what are you afraid of?

[thneed]

I don't know.

[alwaysimpure]

I figure in that case it's always better to just go for it than to hesitate and end up missing out.

[Gryffindor spirit here, ingest with great caution.]

[thneed]

...Well okay.

[alwaysimpure]

If your business fails, you can sleep on my couch.

[thneed]

Gee, thanks.

[alwaysimpure]

I'm a very generous man.

[thneed]

Realistically, your couch is in no way the right length but I appreciate your intense generosity here.

[alwaysimpure]

Fuck realism, I'm a wizard.

I can change the size.

[thneed]

Okay then.
