[Remus isn't sure what he should be expecting with this. Lyall had said that something he had that was a communication device would connect him to the network, but he's really hoping the mirror still works how it's meant to. There's a tentative sort of hope in his expression when he picks it up.]

Sirius? You're probably not there, and even if you are ... I don't know. I'm ... quite a long ways away from you right now, but if you are there ... answer me? If you're there and ignoring me, I swear I will make you regret it. Somehow.

Sirius?

I have.

At least I think I've heard the spiel. I've definitely got a place to stay.

Ah, well, that's good, then. The important stuff is pretty simple, even if it's weird.

[He's almost disappointed. Someone who sounds in his age range and doesn't tend to side with the lunch-money thieves sounds like a good friend to have, and showing him around sounds like a great way to bond.]

What do you consider the important stuff?

[Lyall had told him quite a bit, but it probably couldn't hurt to find out as much as possible.]

Well, uh, short version is that here we all are, we woke up in that ship, we don't know how or why, and that kind of sucks. But there's a bunch of people living under a dome who harass everybody who doesn't live under the dome, and that sucks too. I bet you got all that.

[Or whoever gave him the welcome speech had been remiss.]

Yes, that much I've heard. Is that all there is?

There's probably more. I haven't been here that long either, mein freund. I just wanted to make sure you had the important points down.

Has anyone been here all that long?

Well, longer. I think. Long enough to be here to explain all this to me. Hopefully the details will start to stack up.

Yes, I suppose we must hope. It sounds as if most of us are rather in the dark.

[That's awfully grim when he was hoping to be helpful.]

I've sort of forgotten my manners. My name's Kurt Wagner. What's yours?

Oh yes, sorry. It's Remus. Remus Lupin.

[Slightly odd, but Kurt is used to the Institute, after all. Odd names happen.]

Remus. Got it. I'll keep an eye out for you. There aren't that many people our age around.

I think you're the first I've come across.

Sounds about right. It's mostly the over twenty set. Which I guess is probably okay, but weird after you're coming from school. ...From school into space, so maybe it's not the weirdest thing.

Yes, I think space probably wins out over adults in the long run.

Adults can definitely be weirder than space, but I guess they have to work harder.

Yes, I suppose that's true sometimes.

[He frowns a bit, thinking of Dumbledore.]

You have no idea.

[Kurt's pretty sure he goes to the world's strangest school, after all.]

Oh, I think I do.

[Not that he thinks Hogwarts particularly weird, but his headmaster was...different.]

Maybe we'd better find time to compare notes.

I suppose we could. I've not met many people here as yet.

Can't hurt, right? Hostile space all around, we might as well go ahead and make friends.

[If only he could espouse that philosophy with people he already knows.]

I think that sounds like a wise philosophy.

I try. I'm very wise, really.

Oh, yes. I can tell.
