Neville is wandering around the island, confused and worried. He's lost in some strange world, he's lost without a wand and wandless magic isn't working. There's muggles everywhere, muggle devices everywhere. In fact he woke up with one, some strange little thing with too many buttons that spoke at random intervals. Talking back at it hadn't done anything. He was lost, bruised, and getting more than a little worried.

[ooc: Just name a spot and we'll say he's there.]

"Unexpected travel? Do you even know what these people have planned for us? Or what could happen?"

[harpbeat]

"Certainly. We fight monsters every night."

[madethemproud]

"Monsters. We're suppose to fight monsters."

[harpbeat]

"Yes."

[madethemproud]

"What sorts?"

[harpbeat]

"All sorts! 'Shadows' is the preferred catch-all term, but they generally are bizarre, grotesque, or both."

[madethemproud]

Oh god. He was starting to feel like he was talking to Luna. Only this girl made less sense and there was no feelings of comradeship (or feelings that went beyond that) here to make it charming.

"What? Shadows, what sort of thing...What?"

[harpbeat]

"It would be easier to show you than to explain," she commented. "Unfortunately that's only possible when they appear, at midnight."

[madethemproud]

"Only at midnight." Yup, sounding quite a bit like some certain Lovegood's he knows. "Right."

[harpbeat]

"You should see- well, it's impossible to miss if you're awake at the time, so you'll be bound to see them anyway. But you should probably stay safe when it happens."

[madethemproud]

"How would you stay safe against them?"

[harpbeat]

"I find weaponry to be very useful." Silly boy.

[madethemproud]

"And what weapons do you use against monsters?" He asked flatly. "Don't happen to have any swords laying around?"

[harpbeat]

"You could buy one," Eater answered, thoughtful. "I tend to be more of a bludgeoning type when they're around..."

[madethemproud]

"Oh." He didn't really think muggles still used swords. Heck, if it hadn't been for all the fame surrounding the sword of Gryffindor, he wouldn't think his kind were the types to use them either. "And these would be in any shops or what?"

[harpbeat]

"I can give you directions to a place that sells excellent quality ones."

How convenient.

[madethemproud]

Very.

"That would be helpful, thanks."

[harpbeat]

And then directions were given by an overly cheerful, frilly young woman.
