 [Ron had been, for the most part, fortunate. The ghosts didn't bother him as much as they did others and so he was pretty much okay. Pretty much being the operative phrase since he kind of lets out a mixture of a groan and a sigh when the audio turns on with the bracelet. He's not been okay, but well, he's not going to tell anyone that.]

[So instead he focuses.]

Been here about a month now and I've still no idea what to do with myself. Got the whole fighting a war thing and returning the color bits, thanks. But the how's a bit more difficult, innit? Mean at least the power they gave me's better for a fight than Harry's it seems like, but the whole coloring bit-- sounds too easy, really.

[A beat and he swallows thinking.] I've been working but, er, is there anything else I can do around? I've the strength powers so I can do any lifting that needs doing around, I suppose. I was doing that with clearing buildings a few days ago, but I mean on a permanent sort of things. S'got to be something more than living and waiting for them to send more giants at as. 

Figured the folk that's been here a while is about the best to ask. And I want to help, I mean, just dunno where to start.

[Another thought.]

Know someone else asked about it a few weeks ago, but maybe the lot of us that actually like chess should meet up sometime, too, yeah? Could be interesting, at least. And having something to go to might be fun. Well, so long as you lot are actually decent at chess. [Yes, for the briefest of moments he sounds smug before another crack of silence.]

Er, suppose that's that. I'm Ron, by the way. Ron Weasley. I don't really bother with this thing too often so don't suppose you'll hear from me too often on here. Least it's a bit easier than a ruddy fellytone.

Um, yeah-- bye then. [And it takes a moment but the feed turns off.]

A few things that I've spoken to people about is setting up a messaging system just in case things go down again ... and possibly working on a unified front. But I wouldn't even know where to begin myself.

voice.

[masterofmystery]

You mean like owl post? [He considers it.] Dunno about a unified front If you ask me this lot seems like some of them wouldn't work well with others.

voice.

[livedtwice]

Yes, like the owl post. Right now, I'm still waiting to send a handful of messages out to people because—

[The feed for his voice fades in and out and Harry mutters something like a swear word because of the feedback from it.]

—Well, because of that. I don't see a unified front working myself, but if someone can manage it, it ... might be King Arthur. The King Arthur, I think.

[Ooh, did someone mention chess?

Sandy perks up and draws on a sketchpad before turning it around to show Ron. A picture of a king and queen piece. He'd love to play chess, although fair warning, he's been playing it for about a thousand years.]

[Video]

[masterofmystery]

[Oh, well, this is sort of a surprise. He's at least quirking a brow. It's okay, Ron needs to be beaten once or twice anyway.]

So you know how to play, then?

[Video]

[morethanadream]

[Sandy nods, excitedly bouncing on the balls of his feet as he does so. Yeah, absolutely! And he'd love to play with you, strange young man he's never met before!]

[ffuckoff]

You mean like a job?

[masterofmystery]

No, I've one of those. I just mean how are we supposed to help outside of it. S'gotta be something.

[ffuckoff]

You mean, like... enlisting?

[applegoddess]

Hey Ron. I'm Gaia. I'm a bit at loss at well, but at least your power is a lot more useful than mine... And it doesn't involve kissing either, another plus.

{ video }

[masterofmystery]

Hi. [---Wait. He makes a face and considers.] Sort of power involves kissing anyway?

{ video }

[applegoddess]

Apparently Energy Transfer does... Seems these gods have a hell of a sense of humor.

I LOVE CHESS! [Alice is extremely excited at the chance of a chess group she's lost focus on the rest of what he said.]

My name is Alice! Alice Liddell, how do you do, sir?

[Video]

[masterofmystery]

[It's okay she's eight, he can go with the flow. So he manages a small grin.]

Yeah, got that much. Alright, though. And you? [You're a bit too tiny for a war, Alice.]

[Video]

[livedtwice]

Hello, Alice. This is mine and Hermione's other best friend, Ron.

[Jamie's been in the same boat - trying to figure out what to do when there's nothing else to is always tricky, and it took him a bit to get settled too. So his intent is to see if he can come up with some suggestions that aren't chess - but the last bit is more than enough to derail those thoughts, resulting instead in one puzzled looking Scot trying to figure what the heck Ron is on about.]

What's a fellytone?

[Video]

[masterofmystery]

Er-- you know-- the thing mu--people used to talk to each other. This is like one of them with moving pictures, right?

audio.

[pigface]

I, for one, am certainly in support of some sort of chess club. [ Not that anyone should be surprised by that, since she's the one that asked about chess before. ]

How have you been, Ron?

audio.

[masterofmystery]

[He grins slightly.] Wouldn't have guessed.

Alright, suppose. Given the state of things.

voice.

[etoaktagamat]

I have strength too!

Are you also in Thor?

voice.

[masterofmystery]

Would think the strength bit would make that obvious.

audio;

[whitechocolate]

A ruddy what? [ Sam has no idea what "ruddy" means either. ]

audio;

[masterofmystery]

Fellytone. [It's said oh, so simply in return. Sorry, Sam.

[lookingfordragon]

I got strength too, I don't think I've seen you in the house though...[She doesn't recognise him at least and she didn't know his accent?]

What is chess?

[masterofmystery]

Seems there's a fair few of us with it. Wouldn't suppose you would have though, really. I moved out the week or so I arrived with some friends.

It's a board game-- and about one of the best games there is next to Quidditch.
