003 // @strange.magic: video
[Stephen is so fucking over this.
It's only the fact that he knows which buttons do what that he can get the video on at all and he definitely doesn't look like a happy camper, not with the frown he was wearing.]
So this... memory loss thing. Anyone made any progress on figuring out a way around it?
[His brows twitched lower as his frown deepens into an annoyed sort of scowl, trembling fingers drumming restlessly against the open pages of a book.]
Not having much luck on my end.
[For a reason he's not getting into with all and sundry.]

[He couldn't help but chuckle, recognizing at least the general look of the script even if he couldn't tell Sam what the hell it said at the moment.]
Close. That one's some manner of Faerie if I'm remembering correctly.
Horcruxes? Gosh no, those books are already shelved.
no subject
[Meaning him, although they both know he's about the last person who would actually try to make a Horcrux.]
Let's see, Magickal Herbs and Spices, that's probably a no. What to Expect When You're Expecting an Extraplanar Arrival, no. Fifty Ways to Cook a Jabberwocky... Man, you need a card catalog.
no subject
[They're silly jokes, but that's probably why he likes them in the first place.]
I've got one. They're just not registered in it yet. If you wanted we could pull from the shelves?
[It'd suck for Sam to be bored as hell doing this after all.]
no subject
[See, this is why he likes you, Stephen. You have a better sense of humor than the one from his world.]
Nah, it's fine. I'm more worried that the information's going to be in one of the books I can't read.
[Are you kidding? Sam gets to read magic books, how fucking cool is that? He's not going to get bored. Even the titles are great.]
Perfect Portals for Pleasure and Profit. Let's try that one, huh?
no subject
[It's one of the few things he has going for him, might as well get the most of it, right?
And hell yes the titles are hilarious. Some of them he got specifically because they amused the hell out of him.]
Sounds like a good place to start to me.
no subject
[Sam entertains himself for a moment by wondering what Stephen's Patronus might be (although he has no damn idea) and imagines a beagle yapping energetically at the dementors.
(His own Patronus is obviously a falcon.)]
Right. [Sam flips open the book, picks a useful-sounding chapter, and starts reading.]
