Happy Hour threads from last night, briefly, cos there weren't too many long ones: Peter flirts with the muse and Gil talks to cats.

I also did want to recap Sirius and Kassandra's events, cos they're all over in different places, so:

Kassandra and Peter give Sirius a lake.(Sirius and Peter bond while Bartleby is trashing the bar). Sirius turns into a nine year old and asks Kassandra to go diving with him. (Sirius and Peter bond, again; Peter, we should disentangle the plotlines at some point. :D)

Sirius and Kassandra go diving, and Sirius decides it's time to Come Out about Padfoot before work. Kassandra, meanwhile, looks for Hektor; Sirius shows up and Kassandra gets Prophetic, predicting Harry's death, and Sirius takes her to bed. No nookie is had, due to the respective puppeteers falling asleep. :D

Kassandra sleeps and Sirius wakes and decides that the Greeks were perverts. It all sounds rather explicitly antiquarian. (This thread just got started.)

There are tangled plotlines? (Attempts to look innocent, then realises that innocence looks ridiculous.)

As a result of Sirius and Peter tentatively starting to talk as friends again, Peter has elected not to move into Door's house for the time being, though he hasn't had a chance to tell Door yet. Sirius wouldn't understand how Peter--who was so horribly tortured by Voldemort--could possibly choose to live in the same house as Tom Riddle. Sirius wouldn't see it as Peter's temporally paradoxical attempt to make sure that Voldemort never comes into existence; he would just see Peter's act as voluntary association with Voldemort. Door gets away with loving Tom because she is young and naive and doesn't know any better; Peter living under the same roof as Tom Riddle would hurt Sirius as a betrayal, calling all of his statements and actions into doubt.

The trust between Sirius and Peter is terribly fragile at the moment. Peter isn't willing to lose that trust, not again. He misses having Sirius be his friend. And Sirius has been too terribly hurt too often in life; he doesn't deserve to be hurt in his afterlife as well.

So Peter will remain at Milliways for the indefinite future.

I agree that Sirius would see Peter's moving in with Door that way; I doubt it would totally wreck things completely but it would cause a large and needless rift. Staying at Milliways sounds good, for now.

(Sirius is probably knocking quite a bit off the rent, for Peter. He feels bad.)

(Peter wouldn't understand that in the least. In fact, he can't believe that Sirius is still talking to him, now that Sirius knows that he is James' murderer. He doesn't question it; he just sees it as one of God's nicer miracles.

Peter isn't aware of this, but his subconscious made the moon out back werewolf-friendly. That moon is never full--it merely remains at waxing gibbous for twice as long as normal before shifting to waning gibbous.

So if Remus (or any other werewolf) ever shows up, the Milliways moon won't hurt them.

If you object to any of this, please let me know. I'm figuring that since the lake et al. came from Peter's memories and desires, he can probably bend a physical law or two to make it work the way he wants.)

Well, with regards to Peter, Sirius understands that he killed James, but he doesn't really believe it was voluntary, because of the torture previously. So he'll be...weird around him, but working towards a friendship again.

Regarding the moon, it's an interesting idea, but I wouldn't want to make that decision without Remus' player -- they may want to be able to have Remus transform. So shall we say...that's okay for now, but we may retroactively change it if needed?

Re: the moon--that sounds reasonable.

Peter firmly believes himself to be guilty. But I think you have the right of it.

Sam, may I say?

WAAAH.
Thank you, that is (nearly) all.

That was so coooool.
(endeavors to come up with something matchingly ravishing in terms of flash-of-the-camera narrative fiction)

Dude, the thing is, Sirius' search? Is basically my Google search. It's almost impossible to find an ancient visual source for either Kassandra or Hektor that doesn't show them being raped, dismembered, or killed. Poor Kassandra *pets her*
