--es. Yes, I do want voice-to-text, that'll probably be less difficult and I won't accidentally hit the wrong button next time.

Okay, I reckon it's stopped. It's not flashing the little screen over and over. I don't even know what I hit. Er, sorry, I don't really know how to delete those other ones. I'm not really used to computers. Never really got to play around much with computers to start with and where I usually live, they don't even work.

Awfully small, aren't they? I didn't even know they could be made this small.

Anyway, what I was trying to say is my name is Harry Potter. I'm a wizard, from the same world as Remus Lupin. A complete inability to do a basic introduction without embarrassing myself aside, I was fighting in a war against dark wizards before I was brought here. I understand that the stakes are even higher with this one, and as such, I want to know where someone like me might be needed most and who here I could possibly learn from to help fight even better.

I'm alright enough at magic, particularly where Defense Against the dark arts is concerned, have loads of experience dueling on a life or death basis, and I'm fairly good at sneaking about when necessary. I also have some experience teaching defense magic, though I don't know how useful that'll be if people here don't have the same type of magic, and you'd have a better teacher in Remus anyway. I'm really not sure how everything works here, so if you have any questions about what I can do to help me figure out where I'd be best suited, feel free to ask. I could use the help figuring out where I'm needed most.

The things are a bit daunting at first if you're not used to them, yeah.

[head-heldhigh.livejournal.com]

I don't think computers like this even exist when and where I'm from, or at least if they do, they must be terribly expensive.

And I never got to play with my cousin's computer growing up.

[punchedoutdestiny]

We've got stuff kinda like this where I'm from, but the tech-heads generally use it. I'm more used to machines that respond to your fighting spirit than this stuff, but I guess I wouldn't have the former without the latter...

[whyarewehere]

so are you from the dark ages or fairyland or something?

anyway hi i'm grif. most of what you need to know about computers are that if they are the kind that talk they are total dicks. me and somebody else got a theory about this.

[head-heldhigh.livejournal.com]

I grew up in Surrey. Which is in Britain, on Earth. From the year 1998.

I don't know much about computers, to be fair, but I've never really seen people walking around with ones like this. Mobiles, sure, but this can do a lot more than a mobile.

But like I said, I'm a wizard. Most technology and magic doesn't mix, so wizards don't use computers. Or even televisions.

wait wait wait backup

no tv

what kind of nightmarish existence do you have and what did you do to deserve it.

[re-engineer.livejournal.com]

Oh good, you found the settings.

Hello, Harry. I'm Angie, one of the Engineering heads. If you need any help at all, just say something and I'll do what I can.

I'm not sure if you'd be of help in our department, but we DO have a department devoted to magic. You're not the only magic user on board, after all. Nanoha should see this and respond soon, I'd hope. She's the head of the department.

[head-heldhigh.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I might need it.

And I'll look into that. I s'pose they work on using their magic for the war effort?

[re-engineer.livejournal.com]

You'll have to ask Nanoha about that. I'm very much not magical.

[livestoannoy]

Dude, I think you need to learn a 'how to not completely suck at technology' spell. Even my Mom's not as bad as you, and she can't go five minutes without yelling at me to tell her where her files went.

[head-heldhigh.livejournal.com]

It'd be a lot easier to work out a spell like that if most technology didn't go on the blink around magic. I'm surprised this thing works when I'm using magic around it.

[livestoannoy]

Riiiiiiiight, it's the 'magic' that makes you suck. Sure, whatever you say dude.

[starlightace]

Hi, Harry!

I'm Nanoha Takamachi, and I'm the head of the Mystical Department on the ship. I think you might fit in here if you think you're up to it.

[starlightace]

Er, that's Nanoha Takamachi-Harlaown, sorry. I keep forgetting that...

[head-heldhigh.livejournal.com]

Hallo! Can you tell me what exactly the Magical Department does?

[starlightace]

Whatever's required of us, really. Our job is to handle and deal with matters of a supernatural, mystical or magical nature that the other departments might not be able to tackle.

[theboywhodied]

Hi Harry! I see we're as bad as each other. Reckon I left an even bigger mess than you did on these things. The word 'tutorial' was blinking rather angrily at me after a while. I think that helped.

So I went back to clean up before writing anything else, and there are these little red X marks! Vanished them all.

Anyway, Professor Lupin's told me I can join the magical department. I'm working with him on a project at the moment, and he says you can help too. There are gargoyles here who turn to stone during the daytime, and we need to find a way to stop that from happening.

[myboggartismoon.livejournal.com]

A gargoyle, in any case, who asked my help. Yes, I would I appreciate the help if I can persuade you.

[head-heldhigh.livejournal.com]

I'm still working on the vanishing myself. I don't see any X's...

[kandrakar-heart.livejournal.com]

... Wow. You had a lot of problems with them, didn't you?

[head-heldhigh.livejournal.com]

With what? Computers? Yeah, a bit.

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Harry Potter?!

Like, Luna Lovegood's friend, Harry Potter?!

[head-heldhigh.livejournal.com]

Luna's here? Where is she?

[animus-vessel.livejournal.com]

If you didn't want to make a fool of yourself, you should have gone over the basics first instead of just mashing buttons. Computers are sensitive.

[head-heldhigh.livejournal.com]

It worked in the end, didn't it?
