--hey, wait a-

[James is somewhere outside, hair covered in a fine dusting of ash that he's occasionally ruffling off himself with little success. There are people running past him, panicked and shouting and he stops after that exasperated exclamation to help somebody up off the floor.

He looks to the phone finally, brushing more ash off the screen.]

If anyone can make it here, I could use some help further up the high ground. Despite best intentions people are panicking and someone's going to get hurt. Potentially me. So, you know, whenever you can. I'll be here. Trying not to get trampled.

Sooo...

I'm selling gas-masks, fire extinguishers, and bottled water.
Because I'm pretty sure you all kind of need those.

Also thneeds are flame-retardant. If you already got one, I'd recommend using it as a fire blanket. If you don't got one then... I have twenty on me.

Everyone, please don't go to the shore! Volcanic activity can sometimes trigger tsunamis that could flood the city, so please go for higher ground as far from the mountain as possible instead! And gas masks are VERY GOOD IDEAS RIGHT NOW!! Make sure as much skin as possible is covered to avoid getting burned!! Take care of small children, the elderly, and the infirm!! The people who should be evacuating first are those CLOSEST to the mountain, followed by everyone else, so we don't bottleneck and trap ourselves. BE CONSIDERATE OF ONE ANOTHER.

Out of curiosity, has anyone else been having their bad dreams come true, or is this just coincidence for me?

I am looking for James Potter. Where might I find him?

Well, it's out in the open now, so might as well come out and say it.

Ianto's left again. Sort of always knew he would. Never stays.

If anyone needs me, I'll be trying to drown myself in the bottom of a pint glass.

[Someone wears metal armor and works on the weekends~ Lin's back again, as grave and serious as ever.]

The new releases are out:

The 9th Doctor
Grant Ward
Ianto Jones
Lily Potter
Molly Hayes
Remus Lupin
Steve Rogers
Terry Mcginnis

If you have questions, ask them here.

Now. Valentine's Day is coming up quickly, as anyone paying any attention to the Network will have figured out by now. Some bizarre event or other usually crops up around that time, so be aware and on your guard. All officers will be on duty that night - you were all warned of this ahead of time, so don't complain about it now - do not hesitate to contact us.

My life is terrible and a mess, so I'm giving a party tonight.

Alcohol, magic, drinking games enforced by magic, we'll party like it's Hogsmeade in 1976. Magic shop, soon as it's dark.

Be there or... Don't risk waking up a different colour than you're used to.


( And some private messages. )

[You know, it feels like whenever she makes a video, this girl is either all laughter and smiles or thunderous frowns. This time it's the latter. She is actually standing on the ground this time, little piles of... something - maybe dried plants? - arranged neatly at her feet, and she is positively glaring into the camera.]

You're just stupid, aren't you? You don't even know which things to use for healing! Well I'm going to show you. Otherwise you're just going to keep hurting.

( Below this cut is Aisling's Healing Hour... Click for forest cures for everything from bleeding gums to burns and open wounds! )

If you need any, come to the forest. I have some stored, just in case. I won't even make you trade for it this time. Everybody's hurting too much.

Please.

[ the girl speaks so quietly, she almost isn't heard. but she's finally managed to figure out how to communicate with others like everyone else seems to be doing. she glances up at the camera and then back down at the doll in her arms, clutching it. ]

I don't know where I am. I need to be home. Father will be angry and .. I need to go home. I'm not supposed to stay out late, with strangers.

((An hour or so after this post.))


MEDIC!

[He might be shouting for a doctor but he also can't stop laughing. In the background, Sirius' voice pipes up--]

You cheated!

[--before he dissolves into manly guffaws giggles.]

Ssh-ssh, don't listen to him. I definitely.. was not cheating. Much.

[More giggling from them both, and some exaggerated hushing from James. Are they drunk? Definitely.]

-- But we do need a healer or a muggle doctor or.. someone.. who isn't completely smashed because I think.. he broke my nose. [A beat.] Don't tell him.

[Guess who has the flu? That's right. The Healer. Is this horribly ironic or just horrible?]

If anyone needs me, I'll be dying in a pile of tissues. James love, I'm going to sleep on the couch or something. I don't want to get you sick.

[She sneezes - into a tissue, of course - and winces as her head aches unbearably.]

I need to make some Pepper-Up...

Did everyone enjoy Christmas?

[So, this device is really difficult to handle when one is freaking out and also holding a glass in one hand, so it's no wonder that it takes him a while to switch to private. The first bit of this is all very audible.]

Your mother is a ********** Lorem ipsem ******* Admintum Venium******* Tragula ****** hippopotamus **** republican *********Daniel Radcliffe ****** with a bucket of ******* in a castle far away where no one can hear you ******* soup ******* with a bucket of ******** Mickey Mouse ******** a stick of dynamite ****** magical ****** Alakazam!

[ooc: Yes, I quoted the Potter Puppet Pals. All rights to them and nothing is too meta for Thoughtformed.]

[Private to James and Lily]

Talk to me, please. Er. And listen. Listening would be great.

[Private to Rudy]

Mate, I need someone really irresponsible, so don't let me down.

[Private to Sheska]

Er. Sheska? Love?

[Private to Rogue]

Life still sucks. Want to feel better about yourself?

[Private to Alisha]

Alisha, hey. I've got some news for you. We should talk.

[...don't say 'We should talk.' to your girlfriend, idiot.]

Well they would call it fiction, wouldn't they? Magical nonsense. What muggle would ever believe in it?

Sorry. Hello. Excuse me, but has anyone about happened across an owl? Just curiosity, you understand. If you happen to see one, could you let me know? I assume this strange function works in two directions, so I would appreciate it. Thank you.
