[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?

[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.

Ja, of course you can. I simply radiate it.

It's true. You really ought to warn a bloke. I was practically blinded there for a moment.

I will be sure to make note of it next time.

Yes, do. Power like that can be quite dangerous.

[Slightly sobering, the way he phrases that, but Kurt's good moods are pretty robust.]

That's me. A threat to polite society.

Yes, I can tell that already.

[He sounds slightly sobered himself.]

Reminds me of a friend of mine.

[Oops. He didn't mean to bring anyone else down! But apparently one can only kid around so long in their circumstances.]

Ja. Uh, well, anyway. I'll see you around soon, probably? It's not that crowded here...

Yes, of course.

[He hadn't meant to bring the conversation down either.]

I'm looking forward to it.

I'm usually around the flop during the day. Out at night. I've turned a little nocturnal since we got here.

[Seem a waste of his night vision to do otherwise.]
