Stupid lack of girl scout training.

And cell phone charging. Because Jessica's phone is now a useless square of metal and plastic. Which means fire is the only means of getting light right now. Which means she needs to figure out how to MAKE one.

And rubbing two sticks together does not work the way it does on cartoons.

Maybe the source of the light coming toward her can help.

Because there -is- light coming toward her, blue and steady, glowing brightly in contrast to the tunnels - brightly enough that it probably reaches her before its bearers' footsteps do.

"Hullo!"

Sirius appears, lit by his wand, a very cheerful expression on his face.

"Care for a light?"

"Yes, just me, nothing dreadful or terribly exciting."

Normally Sirius would be quite crestfallen for a girl to say 'Oh it's just you' about him, but under the circumstances he has bigger problems, really.

The cell phone is squinted at, in a confused manner. "'Scuse, but what's that, then?"

"...oh! It's a fellytone?" Sirius boggles. "Cor, din't know they made 'em so small."

Pause.

"Lily reckons I ought to tell people it's the seventies where I'm from," he says, by way of explanation. "And magical folk like me, we live separately from the ones who aren't magical, so stuff they take for granted is sort of lost on me. But...er, does your fellytone work here?"

"'77, to be precise."

Sirius is, indeed, about to interpret that as having something to do with food preparation.

Evans never said you could get juice out of it, is what he is about to say...until she explains.

"Oh. Yeah, we've radios," he says, nodding. "'Course they run on magic 'stead of...whatsit....Ickletrickity?"

"Eee-leck-triss-city."

Sirius repeats the word, slowly, and nods, smiling brightly at her. "I could probably get it to run on magic for you. Take some fiddling, but I'm not one of the best students in my year for no reason."

Sirius grins at her, a little viciously.

"Those plant things thought so when Evans and I were offing 'em," he says. "Where d'you want it? And is there anything down here that's flammable?"

However, there is a source of light. Kind of. Staring out into the darkness are two beady little red lights, that look exactly like glowing red eyes.

Oh really?

See, the eyes, they start stalking closer, with her set dead in the center of their gaze.

[identity profile] misterbunny.livejournal.com 2008-05-21 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
The eyes stop, and there is a shuffling sound. Then a crinkling. Followed by a puffing, as a third point of light showing up, under and to the left of the eyes. And...

Is it smoking a cigar?

"Hey toots, how's it going?" Comes a gravely voice from beneath the eyes.

[identity profile] misterbunny.livejournal.com 2008-05-21 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"You, uh, got some hair issues there." The Bunny shifts in the darkness.

"Seventeen, huh? Excellent, that's over the age of consent." The rabbit shuffles forward, a little bit easier to see. "Whacha doin down here girl?"
