Obviously we've all been pulled in from different worlds. Or different points in time, I guess, for some of you, and I've been wondering, where is everyone else from? What's your world like? That sort of thing.

[Infirmary Filter]

My name's Will Parry, and I've volunteered to assist in the infirmary with the rest of you. So, who else is working here, exactly?

Comments

[becauseheswill]

Yes.

[sirius-is-a-dog.livejournal.com]

Are you from the same world as Martha? The television one?

[becauseheswill]

I don't think so, but I suppose we could be. I'd never met her before coming here.

[sirius-is-a-dog.livejournal.com]

If you aren't from the same world, that means his story exists in multiple worlds. Merlin.

Quite a tall order to wrap my mind around that.

If your life - your future - was in a series of books, would you read it?

[becauseheswill]

No, I wouldn't. Why?

[sirius-is-a-dog.livejournal.com]

Why wouldn't you? I'm asking because this is very relevant to my life at the moment.

Have you read the Harry Potter books?

[becauseheswill]

I'd rather choose my own fate, rather then feel like I already know what's going to happen.

Just the first one. I think there are four, where I'm from. There should be seven or eight, eventually.

[sirius-is-a-dog.livejournal.com]

Excellent answer. If I'm on this Barge anyway - granted, I'm a bloody Inmate, so I'm about as useful as a pudding - what's the point of knowing a future I may be able to change someday?

Maybe I'm not in that one. Harry is my godson. I'm supposed to be in these books. Sirius Black?

[becauseheswill]

It doesn't sound familiar. Did someone recognize you?

[sirius-is-a-dog.livejournal.com]

No, not exactly. Someone else from my world is here. His wife, Martha, told me about the books. I have the first one in my possession at the moment. But I haven't read it.

[becauseheswill]

Martha's married to someone from your world?

[sirius-is-a-dog.livejournal.com]

Yes, she's married to Severus Snape.

[becauseheswill]

How does that work? [SO RELEVANT TO HIS INTERESTS.]

[sirius-is-a-dog.livejournal.com]

Bloody beats me. [Sorry Will, Sirius can't fathom why anyone would want to marry Severus Snape, let alone cross world lines to do so.]

[becauseheswill]

Right. So, are there other people from your world on board, then?

[sirius-is-a-dog.livejournal.com]

No, just Severus. As far as I know. Not the one I would have chosen, but so goes life.

Anyone from your world here? I never answered your world questions. I apologise. I've been a bit fixated on these bloody books. If you've read the first Harry Potter, that's my world. Supposedly. Magical, wizards, witches, muggles on the side. Really all there is to it.

[becauseheswill]

There's always a chance someone will turn up, I guess.

Not that I'm aware of, but I guess it's possible. I certainly don't know everyone from my world, and there isn't anything too distinctive about it, compared to yours, or some other people's here. We don't have magic or things from Doctor Who or Star Trek or anything like that.

[sirius-is-a-dog.livejournal.com]

That's an exciting and terrifying thought.

Oh, I get what you're saying. There could be people here from your world already and you just don't know it. But there's no one here you know.

[becauseheswill]

Exactly. And I guess I wouldn't mind some familiar faces, but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

Would you want more people from your world here?

[sirius-is-a-dog.livejournal.com]

It would depend on who they were. There are a great many people I would not want to see.

[becauseheswill]

I can imagine.
