[Sirius Black is in the bar, though he hasn't started in on the alcohol yet. He's simply nursing a cup of tea, and staring into space (no pun intended) -- forgive him, he's a little disoriented. Eventually, he speaks;]

Generally when you get killed, it means someone else was around to do the killing...only we didn't see anyone else. Didn't even see the spells fired off. I suppose they could've been using an Invisibility Cloak, or a Disillusionment charm. But I thought Remus, Harry and I were the only ones around from our world...

[he goes back to his tea for a long moment, then mutters;] Hurry up, Moony.

[enters the bar just in time to hear that, and turns to the man in alarm] Wait, you...you mean you've died?

[he gives Oliver a wry smile] Sort of? I'm not sure it counts when you've been brought back.

[sits down next to him] It counts. [eyes that cup of tea, worried] But it happened on the Plane?

[nods, closing his eyes as he remembers] We died together, me and Remus. I'm just hoping Harry doesn't find out.

[this is very unsettling, especially considering his conversation with Brax. and didn't Brax have tea with him, too? he should have realised then...] But...but how!?

[frustrated] I don't know, that's the worst bit.

[In the bar for TEA. But.]

Then how did it happen?

[frowns] A friend of mine said...he was afraid the rain might mean people were going to die.

[and he's starting to think Brax must have died, too]

[quietly] That's what I've got to figure out. Has anybody else been killed lately?

[thoughtfully] It was raining...but how could it have been the rain? It felt like I'd been hit with a spell.

Not to my knowledge, but I admit, I've been quite distracted lately.

[shakes his head] I don't know. But I think I might know someone else who died...

[blinks] You've got magic in your world, then? [maybe he's reading too much into this]

{Diva, on the other hand, is on her way to trashed, so she sits next to Sirius, putting her head in her hands and smiling}

Oh, no, did Sirius and Remus die too? How sad! Mm, I was wondering if it was anyone else, so no one had really mentioned anything... It's kind of funny that way, I think. {Airily,} No one really even notices anymore~

You died.

[frowns, concerned] How'd you die, Diva?

You are not the only one to die so suddenly, monsieur.

Alone, like always! Is that sad?

[Sirius winces, and nods] I wondered if you'd gotten that cloak. ...You've been listening the whole time, haven't you?

[sighs] That's not exactly what I meant. But it is sad, and I'm sorry I wasn't there.

[glances up at him] So I've heard. Have you died too?

Oh, you don't need to be sad! I died like Riku did, so it's funny. I just crumbled into dust, since that's what happens, but I could hear my own voice. Mm, it was what I was saying to Riku when he was dying. How cruel! And---oh, what's the word... Ironic, I think?

I do -- I'm a wizard. [sighs] I haven't got my wand, though, it was snapped in half. ...The name's Sirius, by the way. Sirius Black.

I have. Like you, there was no one around to give me such a death, so it is...bizarre.

I'm sorry. I think it's got to be some sort of magic, but I can't figure out how they've done it.

Oh... [that sounds like a story, but Oliver doesn't want to press him]

Well, nice to meet you, Sirius! I'm Oliver. Are you...all right? I mean... [trails off, gesturing vaguely. tries to catch Sirius' gaze so he can do an emotion check. he knows death on the Plane is traumatic, even if you come back]
