[trepidations]

[ There are some people in the world who really shouldn't be given any sort of technology or utensil without first receiving some hands-on instruction. Well, even more than is standard upon arrival. Peter Pettigrew, unfortunately, is one of them. The video jolts and even falls to the floor before it rights itself, but upside down. ]

Hn. Owls really would just be easier.

[ It rattles again, and really, wearing a bracelet should not be so difficult. ][ A sigh. ]

Merlin, this is -- well. I... I was just wondering if maybe anyone played chess? I... I don't know.

Something to do, maybe? Besides... well, this thing.

[ He gestures to the bracelet, which only serves to make the video fuzzy and flicker out. Sorry, he's never been very good at introductions, and certainly no good at making many friends. ]

[He's busy trying to calculate how old Pettigrew can be instead of really listening to what the other man is saying, so it takes a moment for him to tune back in.]

I should hope so. [As far as he can tell, Pettigrew has no idea who he is and that's fantastic.] I'd be quite a poor wizard if I didn't.

[trepidations]

[ Nope, he has no idea at all who you are, to be honest. He'd probably be a little appalled if he did. He isn't too much of a fan of your father. Sorry, kid. ]

But you're a wizard! I... hm. I know there are others from my world but... well. Did you -- do you -- go to Hogwarts? Mm. This place is strange.

[ He shrugs a little bit. ] I guess you would be though, if you didn't know wizarding chess.

[wasthemaster]

[Why Draco thinks he's being smart it's hard to say, but he just plays right along.]

Do, did, it's hard to say what with how time and timelines work here. And you?

sorry, rl was a pain.

[trepidations]

Well, I did, but I guess -- timelines are a bit strange here, aren't they?

[ He smiles faintly and shrugs easily. ]
