[There is an awkward, stiff cough, and a shot of the eighth floor common room. A young, very smartly dressed, man appears on screen, and he straightens his tie, then offers a small wave,]

Hello!

This remote viewer is tiny, and... well, I never thought a remote viewer could watch you. Fascinating! [He grins, a touch nervously,] So if you're watching, hello! oh, I already said that...

I'm Edward Russett, but you can call me Eddie. I'm not quite sure whether this is the equivalent of Useful Work or a Pointless Task, but I'm sure I'll find out soon enough.

Who are the local Prefects? What're they like? I imagine I'll be the Red Prefect here.

[awkward pause whilst he ponders whether to ask or not, then he directs the camera to a lightbulb nearby]

This is going to sound silly, but can I have some lightglobes? There's no natural light in my room. I... [slight nervous intake of breath. Dammit, night terrors.] I need a source of light.

Russia. I'm sure...no...I know there's a book in the library if you're really curious about it.

No. No rules, no government, are perfect or infallible.

Is there? An actual book, and not just a barcode?

Did either make out to be?

Re: private

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

Of course there's a book.

Yes. The first time did. For a long, long time.

I'm just going to loo...

long pause before he grabs it.]

Sorry.
