oo1: video. un: lilies.
[ lily potter has had something of a jarring entrance into el nysa, and has remained relatively quiet since her arrival. she's spent most of the time with her ragtag family in some sort of attempt to parse through everything that had happened. and, honestly -- lily hasn't managed to do that. she isn't entirely sure whether or not she could ever do that.
but sitting around and doing nothing is also definitely not her style. she needs to be proactive, to find her spot in this new world. get information, learn how to adapt and survive, and try to get through everything that has happened.
even in times of peace, war is still the predominating factor in how she tries to analyze what in the actual hell has happened.
so lily (a young twenty-something-year-old with a huge amount of red hair and green eyes) presents as tired, but with color in her cheeks and a brightness in her eyes. she's noticed some people have been asking for jobs, and lily knows that she needs to do that eventually, too -- but to introduce herself to her new community of ... well, refugees, lily figured something a little less to-the-point was more appropriate.
information is needed. and in this world, there are so many different people, people who are living openly, that it doesn't seem that magic is so taboo here as it is in the muggle world back home. it's almost refreshing, really, but it also leads lily to a question: ]
This entire world is miraculous, isn't it?
[ literally. figuratively. metaphorically. she's breathing, isn't she? ]
I'm new, here -- I'm sure a lot of other people are going to say the same thing in the coming weeks, and I know people who have been here for longer than I have are probably tired of the questions. [ tough shit is what she wants to say, but ah well. ] My name is Lily, and I come from a world where there are a lot of different types of people, too. I'm not sure how many skills or talents I have that will be useful to any of you, but I do want to know -- how many of you believe in, or practice, magic?
[ that's it. that's her question. but after figuring that that blunt question might lead the suspicious to not really want to answer, she continues. it's a risk, and it feels odd saying it -- but after seeing so many different people, and watching the network closely, she figures it's a risk that could probably pay off in spades: ]
I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
[ lily potter will make ice sculptures out of rain puddles all day if it means someone will give her something to do, thanks. ]

[Alex assumes it's like pagan things, but she's fascinated nonetheless.]
Audio | un: lilies
[ she's sorry to say, because he's really quite awful with bragging about it, but lily allows him his victories when they are clearly evident. she isn't the animagus, here. ]

[ strand is going to lose his mind when he sees this, but for now, alex is just going to listen. ]
Audio | un: lilies
[ alex may occasionally hear him wandering around in the background of the video, as james is in the type of mood where he Will Not Leave Her Alone Ever (tm). ]
I got lucky, I suppose. He came here with me.
Audio | un: pnwsalex
[ it's clear that she means it too! because honestly she's just glad that there's someone else from her world who she knows. ]
I'm Alex.
Audio | un: lilies
[ genuinely! ]
I have a fair few people from my world, actually, it's . . . it's been nice. [ miraculous, really ] Did anyone come with you?
Audio | un: pnwsalex
[a beat. ]
It's just me and my friend Dr. Strand here. [ alex stop calling him "dr. strand" when you're talking about him as your friend. ] Richard.
Audio | un: lilies
[ though lily has heard rumor of more, from remus. newt scamander. people who have fought in grindelwald's time. though because lily has not yet met them, she'll keep them out of the official count, for now.
she's glad, at least, that she doesn't seem to be alone in that -- having people, that is. though: ]
You call your friend 'doctor'?
Audio | un: pnwsalex
[ which may be the understatement of the century from alex reagan. ]
He was the subject I was reporting on back home, but he was a friend there too and I'm just used to introducing him in his professional capacity.
But wow four people! I think that's the largest of anyone I've heard of so far.
