[Hello Wonderland. It's been a while since Sirius' arrival but taken a while to adjust. Suits of armor, psychopaths, the world breaking into pieces. Even for a wizard that's a lot to process.

The idea of a network is brilliant, but he's not had much of a reason to use it yet. Until now.]

Hello,

[Young, handsome, English and well articulated, he's sitting with an easy grace and confidence that is clearly identifiable as upper class.]

My name is Sirius Black. [Because it's only polite to introduce yourself, right? James is lurking somewhere in the background with a large red pool inner tube. The kind you might float along a water ride in.]

I'm lead to believe there is a swimming pool here. In fact, I know there is, but what I find surprising is that it is completely deserted.

Now, unless the water is poisonous, which it's not because I threw James in and he's not dead or grown a second head, I think we should fix this.

So, what I think I'm proposing, is something of a pool party.

[Do you see that glint in his eye? Bikinis are optional. He goes to sign off but quickly has a second thought and comes back to centre.]

Ah, also I've been told that I've apparently been seen here before? For the record I have no knowledge of this and therefore accept no responsibility whatsoever for any of my previous self's doings.

...But...if you have a good story, I'm all ears.

Cheers.

[As soon as Sirius shuts off the camera, James' grin widens and he kicks himself and his red tube over to the edge of the pool nearest to where Sirius was recording. He's still got his glasses on (though charmed to repel water) since the entire world's a blur without them, but the water's flattened his hair considerably.]

It's about time! The rest of the population of Wonderland's Sirius-ly been lacking in Sirius-es.

[It's only a gentle tease though, one meant more to flatter than anything. He knows exactly why Sirius has been so quiet, and he can't say he blames him really. He would've been too, if his initial exposure to Wonderland had been multiple terrible things happening to Sirius.

But, it's been a couple months now. Long enough that James isn't quite as concerned about Sirius vanishing without him, and long enough that it's about time he got to know their fellow captives.]

Plus everyone's got to be sick of winter by now. I'm sure we'll get plenty of takers.

[And if not, well, more pool for them.]

[Henry only knows one James in Wonderland, and he thinks he knows who Sirius is talking about, even if he's giving the video a What even are you doing look. Sirius, you sound like a pretty cool guy, if a bit ... strange.]

A pool party? With swimming and games and stuff? Is James going, too?

...You are talking about the one on the second floor, right?

[Because with this place, you never know. Another might appear at any time.]

I feel like I don't have a prayer of not going if James is involved.

[Jo smiles wearily, but for what it's worth, she's at least trying to be cheerful. Aside from looking like she hasn't been sleeping all that well, she's at least presentable these days, and mostly held-together.]

I think people just forget we have a pool sometimes.

Usually parties have food. Are you providing that too?

[Though if not, she can. She's definitely intrigued.]

[ welp hello there middle school book crush this is only slightly awkward. but this isn't allison's first rodeo so all sirius can probably see on this feed is a grin. ]

It's actually a pretty good pool. We've had a couple of parties down there before. Not that you've tested it beyond pushing James in or anything.

Welcome back to Wonderland, though.

[ as much as annabeth chase may or may not want to have her face on this network in anyway way, she can't really go and find people. broken legs are proving to be a whole lot more inconvenient than she ever thought. ]

You're throwing a pool party. [ whoops, sorry sirius, she's kind of a party pooper. ] You find out you've been kidnapped to a place you can't leave and forced to do things against your will and you want to throw a pool party?

[Eh, not as if she's got much else to do. Plus, she hasn't really gotten a chance to talk to Sirius yet, which she's sure James would be upset about, probably. Aaand she'll have to see if the guy's read the books yet. She's betting he already has.

She arrives to the pool in a modest swimsuit, but she's obviously made an effort to stay in the spirit of things. Once she's laid her towel down, she heads over to Sirius and gives a wave.]

Howdy. I did happen to meet you last time you were here, but you didn't stick around long so. No stories, really. I'm Shannon Beiste, though. James knows me. [She extends a hand to shake.]

[Aw yeah, Souji is all over this. He wants to meet Sirius and also he looks good in swimming trunks and also there are entirely too many ladies at this pool party for there to be no Souji there also.

Of course, Sirius has only seen him, y'know, dead and cut open, so Souji's a bit circumspect about his entrance to the pool area. Not shy at all, but he certainly doesn't strike a pose, just stands and looks around to see who is there before approaching Sirius (and possibly James), wherever he might be.]

Have you heard any good stories yet?

[Hello there, Sirius. While they are still chatting it up over in that other thread, let's do some more here. Minato would get to the pool party idea in a second. Since he was in the same boat as Sirius, as in having been in Wonderland previously, it was interesting to see what people remembered about them.]

[And to rival well-polished and English, it's well-polished and French. Also she looks entirely puzzled.]

What is a...pool...party? Is it like a viewing party?

A pool party?

[Alice looks a little scandalized. That would be too many people in swimming costumes and-]

_{[Peter hasn't followed the boys' prompting and come for a swim--obvious by the fact he's still wearing the same belted tunic and trousers he had been wearing while meeting Sirius all those weeks ago--but he has come to chat, and perhaps watch a little of the proceedings, which he does at a safe distance from the water.

Someone else's party isn't as fun as one of his own. If anything, others' merriment makes him sullen, thought an observer wouldn't know it to see it. He's a perfectly fine actor most days.

Hopefully their escapades don't go horribly awry by the end of the day. But if they did... that'd be funny, wouldn't it?]}

You seem like you're settling in.

_{[When there's an opportunity, he directs this at Sirius.]}

A pool party? Dude, that sounds awesome. As long as nothing in the mansion's trying to kill us anytime soon, I am so down. [ omg, Stiles is talking to Sirius Black. Okay, he's going to try really hard not to freak out here, because Sirius was totally Stiles' favorite in the whole series. He still calls Derek Snuffles when he goes all huge dog on him, even.

Right, anyway. Play it cool, Stilinski. ] Is this gonna be a soda and juice kinda party or a Lil Jon-approved-patron-on-the-rocks kind of party.
