Hello, everyone.

I've never been on a ship like this before. Or any ship, really, so I can't say for certain whether the person in charge is always so elusive when it comes to answering questions. I suspect he thinks it's all in good fun, making you believe one thing but telling you another. I don't think I understand his humor, though.

I'm a little concerned about having made a deal with him - he could be one of the Rotfang conspirators in disguise and is set on prolonging this journey indefinitely until all our worlds are nothing but dust and spores.

Is that why all of you are having such strange dreams?

Either way, I hope there's pudding involved. It makes death seem just a little bit cheerier. I think that's why people eat so much at funerals.

Ghosts must get very jealous during mealtimes.

Broomsticks. Don't you use them to fly?

[whatthewrackspurt]

Dalaran. I've never heard of it.

[whatthewrackspurt]

But you can still speak with them.

You must have lots of skills.

[strangehistorian]

Well, it's from my world! I wish I could take you to visit, it's a wonderful city.

[whatthewrackspurt]

How is it beautiful, Abigail?

[whatthewrackspurt]

An entire city of witches and wizards? Even London has to be shared with Muggles.

[strangehistorian]

I'm sure not everyone is magically adept, but certainly most people are! It's a place of learning and experimentation. Even the streetlamps are magic!

[whatthewrackspurt]

Learning and experimentation are good for the soul. They make your brain expand and bits of it leak out your ears.

[strangehistorian]

Well, I should hope there isn't any leaking...

[whatthewrackspurt]

No, I've heard the leaking's good for the environment.

[strangehistorian]

I don't understand.

Are we speaking figuratively?

[changeitroundsome]

Well, yeah, but I'm a bokor. Lot of ancient magic, I got, thanks to my friends.

[godsays]

No. I just do it on my own.

[myresponsibility]

Oh.

[Cool or not cool to mention the books and stuff? He's going with maybe not cool, if only because, you know. He still thinks it's weird he's in comic books and stuff.]

So, uh. Hogwarts? That's pretty cool.

[youwillgotohell]

What do you learn there?

[whatthewrackspurt]

Are they nice, your friends?

[whatthewrackspurt]

Yes. And a little bit of no, too.

[whatthewrackspurt]

You must have incredible skill to be able to do that.

[whatthewrackspurt]

You've heard of it!

How do so many Muggles here know about Hogwarts? I thought it was a fairly well-kept secret.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Charms, and transfiguration, and potions. History of magic, herbology. Care of magical creatures. And how to take down Death Eaters, although I think that counts as more of an extra-curricular activity than anything planned by my teachers.

[strangehistorian]

Can you explain?

[whatthewrackspurt]

Probably not.

[onecertainly]

Muggles... Those are people who don't use magic, then? [He carefully avoids saying "normal people," figuring that wouldn't go over so well. He's learned an awful lot in his short time here on the Barge.] Ah, yes, we do tend to be a bit overzealous about such things.

What sort of magic is it that you do?

[voluntaryapnea]

I've heard that about the UK.

[Is there a nice way to spin that he failed on a bargain with them, and they took his soul as repayment, dragging him into the voodoo spirit realm for all eternity?]
