[dilectio]

[ ahahaha okay, so, Lily's a Muggleborn, right. which means she should probably be alright at handling Muggle technology? only she's from the 70s, and they sure as hell didn't have holographic video screens popping up out of bracelets back then, so even after she watches Loki's ..special guide, she's still left looking a little bewildered. still, she figured out how to play the videos on the main screen, and how to post her own, only she has.. no clue where to go from there. so. ]

Hullo!

[ she sounds cheerful, confused, and damn proud of herself for figuring out how to get this to broadcast. WELL DONE, ME. now, time to kick up some of that bravery in the face of the unknown and get on with it. ]

My name is Lily, and I suppose that, in light of why we've all been brought here, I just wanted to introduce myself straight off. [ yeah she has no idea some people have already been here for a while, oops ] Er, only, just curious - is there some sort of telephone directory I could take a look at? It's entirely possible I've arrived here on my own, but I was- [ apparating ] -going somewhere with someone, before I got here, so I was rather hoping he found his way here too. If so, I'd like to get in touch with him, or with anyone I might already know, and this seems to be the easiest way, only I don't.. completely know how to use this bracelet properly yet. So. Right. I'm sure you see my predicament. [ she's really really really hoping that her husband is here too :c and she's a little nervous he might not be, that nobody she knows from home is and she's been taken here without being able to say goodbye first, hence the rambling ] Either way, I'm still getting settled in, so to speak, but I'll do my best to help out, where I can. [ EVEN WITHOUT HER MAGIC, SOB. ] Luckily- [ Lily stop this really is as corny as you think it will sound ] - I'm all about breaking the ice with new mates, so I'm sure that won't be too difficult.

[ get it, cause Loki's guide said that talking to people and making friends makes your God-given abilities stro-- okay nevermind there's no saving that cornball moment at all ]

Right! Ta, then. And thank you for any help with the technology in advance.

[ james just smiles and leans his forehead against her's. she's here. lily is here and alive and it's as if the entire world is lifted off his shoulders because he can finally just breathe. ]

Maybe these 'gods' didn't like our decorating choices. [ which is a laugh, because lily had spent the last few months trying to get it to look halfway decent, with no help at all from james beyond lifting and moving. ]

Merlin I was worried about how. How long have you been here?

[dilectio]

Hey. [ because yes, those were HER decorating choices, thank you very much. although it's a playful protest to go with his teasing, and she only scrunches her nose at him in retaliation ] I haven't been here very long, honestly. Just long enough to make half-sense of the map on this thing, and send out that message. [ she got antsy :c after a moment she finally pulls back, reaching to lace her fingers through his. ] C'mon, let's go find our new room. Two-Oh-Two, a nice even number.

[heorot]

[ if he wasn't too busy keeping his hands on lily at all times to make sure she's real and here and his again, he'd put up his hands defensively. i'm just saying the gesture would say. but instead he just laughs, kisses her forehead again. ]

Bloody brilliant. [ yes she is. he should have thought about making some kind of post on whatever this bracelet thing was, but muggle tech? never really made it into his list of interests.

but there goes lily, taking his hand in her's, and james just follows her easily as they walk off to the castle. ] You say two oh two? Gods mustn't have gotten our wedding invite. They put me in two oh four. [ he's joking, of course, but still laughing. when he gets a better idea of where they are and what was going on, he'll start looking into going home. he'll figure out about sirius, and that time issue, but now?

wait. ]

Sirius. [ it's half a moment later when he realizes he's said it out loud, and he tugs lily to a stop beside him. ] I've got to go grab Sirius. He's here- you saw that, right? I should grab him.

[dilectio]

Does that mean we get two rooms, then? [ said with a bit of an 'oo la la' tone, because hey, fancy living for the Potters, ey? but then he stops her and she nodnodnods because Sirius! right! of course! ]

I did see that. And you should go get him. [ but not until after she leans in for another kiss first okay there now he can go ] I'll have a look at my room and see if there's any bedside literature I can read about this place until you get back, yeah? [ ... another kiss. ] Be safe.

[heorot]

[ all the 'i will take credit for everything' grins. ]

I always did promise you a two-bedroom flat, didn't I?

[ no, he really didn't, but they're agreeing on something now so he'll just kiss her back each time she leans in. ]

Right just- stay there till I get back, okay? Or just use this... [ he waves his wrist about, not quite sure what to call the bracelets yet ] Should be able to talk to you that way too.
