[ At first the feed is silent, just showing a small grassy plain. Then, suddenly, there's a quiet little yip and something pops into view -- a puppy, looking more than a little excited, with wings fluttering around it's little body as it moves, barking at the camera (or, rather, who is behind the camera). Eventually it moves, with a scuffling noise, and Hermione's face pops into view, at least until she is mauled by the dog licking at her and clambering to get into her lap. She accepts it with good grace, of course, just laughing and patting at the lovely thing's head. ]

I was given this lovely boy by the faeries today and I have no idea who it's from - it must be a gift because I didn't ask for him, at least not this time. I wanted to say thank you to whoever it was because he's adorable! He's the cutest thing I've ever seen - and I've decided to call him Padfoot. 

[ She knows Harry and Ron will understand and she hopes neither of them will be put off by the nickname. She moves to shut off the feed even as the puppy goes to try and bite at the chain holding the locket in her fingertips. ]

Padfoot, no ---

[ and it goes. ]

( PRIVATE TO THE KREW + ANYONE WITH A COMPASS. )

I was given my boon by the faeries and - it's incredible. They've given me a book that'll teach me how to make my own network, like the lockets but only for us to use. I was wondering if you'd all tell me what kind of thing you'd want, if you want a personal network for anyone or just for you and some friends? And what you'd like it on - a watch or a necklace or something? Let me know, please?

[ Maybe this is what they should focus on; maybe they should focus on stupid differences between them than Hermione trying to force her kind concern on him. It doesn't seem fair for her to smother him with her attention when, sometimes, it seems to make him uncomfortable -- and she knows that she can go too far at times, too, pushing to the edge and settling people in for an almost lecture based type of concern. She wants him to be happy in her company, not annoyed. She's doing all she can, really.

Still. MySpace? Facebook? They sound ridiculous. ] I've never heard of any of these things, really. I think you might be a little father in the future from me than we originally thought, Luke - but I haven't had a lot of time to spend on muggle technology lately, though. Maybe it's my fault entirely.

[ She shakes her head, lips pursed. ] I'm sure he'd take the credit for a lot of things if he could, right?

[ hermes would take credit for the moon if he could. but george and martha had insisted he wouldn't take credit for the cancellation of firefly. that's on the god he hates for the day. perhaps hades. george apparently dislikes the rats running free in the cacti area of the underworld. ]

Anything that's remotely successful and favoured by all? Made by Hermes. [ maybe his father has a little bit of an ego when it comes to his inventions. luke honestly thinks he needs to project that pride onto his kids. ]

[ but rather than follow in the footsteps of his own wish and project that bitterness into his conversation with hermione, he follows the much preferred flow she's inadvertently directed them in. her concern is a tough pill for him to swallow; he's gone for so long skidding beneath the radar of so many people that he's used to it. he expects those around him to not press harder, poking him as if he's some animal that will bite the hand jabbing its finger into his ribcage to see to it he finally stirs from his slumber. the front he'd put on at camp still lingers with him, like a mask he can sit on his face without feeling any difference, despite not being that boy anymore. everyone knows he's angry, everyone but those who aren't from his world where he had tried to tear it asunder. it's difficult to let people care when not many have in the first place. ]

[ it's difficult to let anyone care when he doesn't, himself. ]

If you and I are ever at the Station at the same time, maybe I can show you YouTube. Great things to be found on there. [ he pauses for a very brief moment, tone shifting into a deadpan. ] A lot of cat videos.
