I gritted my teeth. There was absolutely no way I was going to get into this now, and especially not here. I took a deep breath before I spoke.
"The fact is, James, that you are dead. You've been dead for 16 years. All I know is that I saw your body, and then 16 years later theres a massive explosion and you're standing across the street in the middle of a Death Eater battle, and screaming about missing fingers. How the hell am I supposed to deal with that?"
I buried my face in my hands. What on earth was going on?

I looked up from my position to see a young man approach. When he asked to join me in my...tracking, I thought for a moment. Yes, while it would be incredibly idiotic for me to accept the help of someone I'd never met, the truth was I'd need some backup.
"Sure," I nodded, not caring that I didn't really smile. "Jane Rizzoli," I said to introduce myself as we began walking. "You?"

Zuko gave her a small smile and replied "Zuko. Just Zuko." He walked with her in silence for a while before asking, "Did you understand anything they were saying?"

I returned the smile as the man introduced himself as Zuko. I wasn't going to judge the oddness of the name, as I was sure Rizzoli was as strange a name one could find.
"Not really," I told him as we walked. "The brunette tried to explain away his friend's behavior by claiming he was ill, but if the other man was ill, why then was he not in a hospital? Also, I'd like to know what caused those lights to suddenly appear."
I looked over at Zuko curiously. "Did they tell you anything?"

Hey guys, sorry it took so long. I'm an idiot and didn't realize we were starting. By the way, I'm not sure where we are, so I said London. If that is wrong, please tell me where and I'll fix it. Sorry if this is long. I'm just explaining Shuichi's story a bit.
"Oh, my head." I groan, as I wake up. For a moment, I couldn't understand why my head was killing me, or how I ended up on the ground. But after a moment or two had passed, the memories had come back in a whirl of pictures and sound.
Bad Luck had come all the way to London to preform a concert. Normally, it wasn't the kind of thing I'd be interested in, but Eiri insisted that I go. Said it would be a good chance to get some "much needed culture". But no, that was too far away from him! After everything we've been through, after all the problems we've dealt with, I couldn't just leave now. But then my evil, gun-toting manager, K, threatened to shoot me. So yeah, no choice in the matter.
So we went, and I'll admit that the concert was a big success. The crowd loved our songs and I had a lot of fun with Hiro and Fujisaki - the members of my band. It was great! Until these strange men in black cloaks attacked with what appeared to be sticks. Magic sticks. Somehow I got knocked on the ground, and that's basically it.
After thinking about my situation a bit, I got up and looked around. Wow...so much damage. This is terrible! I didn't understand what was going on, but the sight of dead people was horrifying to witness. And all of a sudden, I came to a horrible thought. Hiro and Fujisaki weren't with me.
"Hiro! Fujisaki! Guys were are you?" I shouted at the top of my lungs. "Answer me!"
"Awww does the widdle muggle miss his widdle fwiends?" cackled one of the cloaked figures. The two others with her laughed as well. There was something decidedly feminine about her. It was then that I noticed their creepy, white mask. What was this, some sort of cult?
At once, I felt a surge of anger at her mocking tone. "Where are they? What have you done with them?"
The cloaked woman chortled merrily, as though this were all a sick game to her. When she didn't answer, I decided to do what would probably be one of the stupidest things I've ever done. I lunged at her, not caring that the odds were against me, or that death was a possibility. I just wanted my friends back, and that was all that mattered at the moment.

Zuko bit the inside of his cheek, wondering if he should tell her what the odd men had said. As far as he could tell, she was a normal citizen. Where he could accept the weirdness of them men because he himself came from a place that used different energies than this world, he couldn't be sure that this woman would take it the same way. She may think him insane and cart him off somewhere. Mind made up, he shook his head and gave a smile that was slightly strained.
"Not really. Not anything that I could make any sense of anyway. S'why I'm coming with you for the interrogation," he ended with a small smirk.

"Well, if we can't find them, there won't be an interrogation," I told Zuko, grumbling under my breath about distracting myself. My gun was in my pocket with the safety on, which was always a good thing. I had no intention of shooting myself again.
"So, if we're going to be tagging along together, we'd might as well get to know one another," I turned to the man and said with a smirk. "Detective Jane Rizzoli. Got transferred here to Scotland Yard after my department in Boston got cut. Stupid government stooges."
I muttered that last part.

And so, the fight began. It was just me and the bitch in the cloak. Her little buddies apparently decided that I'm not worth it or something. And sadly, they were probably right.
The moment I charged at her, she fired this strange beam of light at me and shouted "Crucio!" The next thing I knew, I was on the ground, writhing and screaming in agony. It was a brutal, white-hot pain, more powerful than anything I've ever felt. Eventually, it stops, but I have no idea how long it lasted.
There was laughter from those three. Apparently, they find it funny to torture others. "Pathetic muggle!" sneered one of the three, his voice deep and booming.
I slowly, painfully got up. My whole body trembled from the attack, and it was all I could do to stand up. These people...they're fucking crazy. I have no chance against them, not if they can do things like that with their wand. But Hiro...Fujisaki... they need me. And if I die here, I'll never see Eiri again...
Eiri...
At once, I felt an explosion of determination rush through me at the thought of lover. If I can't fight them, I'll have to run. Maybe someone else can help me find my friends. Someone who knows more about these...people With that thought, did the only thing I could: turn myself into a puddle of goo and move away. As I did, I could hear their conversation going.
"What the hell?" one of them gasped.
"Where did he go?" the woman cried.
"No idea, Bella." said the other, sounding disbelieving. "He just...melted. Wait until our lord hears about this..."
There were loud popping noises, then, complete silence.
Since my character's encounter with the Death Eaters is done, my posts won't be so long now. Sorry if this was boring.

Zuko gave a slight nod of acknowledgement while trying to figure out a good explanation of his arrival in this world. He struggled to come up with anything that wouldn't sound odd and wouldn't need any form of paperwork to prove. Having failed to come up with anything in the ten second pause he thought would be acceptable (stay silent for too long and they'll know you're lying) he breathed in deeply and prepared himself to deal with the consequences.
"My name is Zuko. I won't tell you my last name because nobody seems to be able to pronounce it right, let alone remember it." Lie Number 1. "I come from Alicante, Spain". Lie Number 2. "I woke up in an alley in London about a week ago with no idea how I got here." Probably the first truth he'd spoken since said awakening. "I guess you could say I'm officially homeless as I have no money and I'm currently living off of stray cats." Another truth! "It's very nice to make your acquaintance," Zuko finished with a sarcastic grin.

I couldn't help but chuckle as Zuko gave the reason for not giving his last name. I'd been there--what? You think a name like Rizzoli is easy to pronounce? In one ear I was listening to his story, but in the other, I was listening for footsteps. That explosion had to have had someone to start it.
"You know, most people who tell me that don't really mean it," I told him with a sarcastic grin of my own when he told me that he was pleased to make my acquaintance. Then I remembered what he said about living off stray cats. "You'd best hope my mother doesn't appear out of nowhere and hear you say that. She lives to feed people--and mother them to death."

Once I felt safe, I reverted back from my puddle state and sat amongst the rubble. "Man, this is the last time I come here for a concert! Never again!" After taking a few moments to rest, I started searching. "Hiro! Fujisaki! K! Sakano! Guys, where are you?"

Zuko chuckled and shook his head in amusement. "Is it likely for your mother to appear out of nowhere in the middle of an explosion? I'd be a bit worried if she did. Maybe it's her you should be investigating." Zuko's head snapped around to the side as he heard shouting and looked back to Jane with a raised eyebrow and tilted head. "Think we should check that out?" he asked.

"Explosion, no," I shook my head, "but Ma does love to mother."
Noticing Zuko's change of expression, I slowly made for my gun until he asked if we should check out the shouting. "Best place to start if any," I said and refilled my bullets. It wouldn't do for this to turn into a shoot-out and not have any weapons.

As I opened my mouth to continue questioning James, another round of shouting came from nearby. Had we missed anybody? Sighing, I got back up and moved for the door.
I began to run as I got back into the alleyway, in a movement that felt severely like deja-vu. Breaking out onto the square, I noticed that the police officer and the strange dark man seemed to be moving towards the figure in the middle of the square. Sighing wearily, I pulled out my wand and rotated on my heel, looking for any possible source of danger.
This was turning out to be a long day.

As soon as Remus ran out of the Cafe I followed him immediately to apologize for my words. I was only being truthful when I said what I did. As soon as I saw what he was doing I got my wand back out and joined Remus back-to-back like the good old days when we would be fighting the death eaters.
I was just getting ready to cast a spell to reveal people when I saw a shadow.

"I'm feeling oddly unprotected here," Zuko muttered under his breath, referring to the officer's gun and the fact that he couldn't really use his bending in front of this woman. He sighed and followed after her, deciding that if things got too serious, he would jump in with his firebending, damn the consequences.

Yay~!
As soon as I heard footsteps, a surge of dread rushed through me. Was it more of those awful cloaked people? My eyes screwed shut in fear, and I found myself too scared to move. Oh man, today definitely wasn't my day...

After I had checked that there was no imminent danger, I walked over to the dark skinned man and smiled.
"Can you tell me what's going on? Do you know what's wrong with her?"
My eyes flickered again to the officer's gun. She did not look like she'd hesitate to use that thing.

The brunette from before walked up to us and began to talk to Zuko, though I noticed his eyes flicking over to my gun. Now that there was no obvious danger, I put it back in its holster as to elevate tension. Any sudden movement though and it'd be out like a rocket--locked and loaded.

Even just standing there, my body was already feeling rather sore. I could still feel the effects from that red beam of light, now that all the adrenaline had left my body. Tired and shaky, I decided to transform into my chibi form and hid myself amongst the rubble. I just hoped that my hair wasn't sticking out - bright pink doesn't really blend well with anything.
