What was Once Old is Now New (video; un: hpotter)
(The video feed begins with Harry adjusting his smartphone to get a clear angle at his studio apartment in Camelot: he still has his eyeglasses on and is wearing a huge beanie cap for some reason. Hedwig is currently feasting on her latest catch of the day on a counter in the kitchen; meanwhile Rose tries to poke her head into the video feed to see what is going on while squeaking at the camera.)
Oh, hey Rose. I’m sorry, but you need to scoot out of the camera for the moment. I got something to tell everyone.
(Picking her up, Harry gently puts her aside on the table for the moment. He then takes a deep breath to compose his thoughts: he had been thinking about this decision for a quite while now and he had taken a big leap to get there too. Not sure if everyone will handle the news well, he soon looks at the camera directly in the eye.)
Hey everyone. I know that I have been unusually quiet lately, but there is a good reason why. I was getting a little fed up with how I look for the last several months, but I was too scared to try to change parts of myself, wondering if those changes can be carried over to my world once time outside Avalon has been restored and if any of my friends back home will still recognise me. But after talking with my co-workers and the manager of the café I work at who all suggested to me to push through with it, I finally did it. Now I guess that I should reveal to you what the fuss is about.
(The young man then closes his eyes, looks away from the camera, takes off his glasses one last time, and removes the beanie cap from his head to quickly fix up his hair and bangs before opening his eyes and looking back at the camera again. What started out as a bespectacled teen with messy dark brown hair has been replaced by a different creature: Harry’s bright blue eyes are no longer hidden behind glasses (and can actually see better) and his hair is now cut short with his bangs now pushed onto the left side of his face with small visible sideburns on each side of the face. And yes, there is stubble on his upper lip, jaw, and neck, but that’s because he has shaven a few days ago.)
Yes, your eyes aren’t fooling around: I actually got myself a full on makeover: finally gotten around to get a hair cut and having my eyes’ vision corrected during the weekend. But even though my looks have been changed, deep down, I’m still the same person after all: just the same old Harry who’s been in this world for nearly a year now. It just so happens that I got some new changes that have been overdue to boost up my confidence.
So what do you guys think? Do you like my new look or do you still prefer the old me? That’s understandable if you feel that way, and I’m still adjusting to it as well: the eye doctor who did the surgery told me that my vision will be stabalised within a week, so I do apologise in advance for any inconveniences if I might bump into people and things by accident for the time being.

You're the one who's gotta live with it. If you like it, then go with it.

But this isn't the first place I was stuck, either, and there's timeline bullshit with most of 'em.
no subject
Whoa, that is very interesting: what sort of timeline mess did they got themselves into? And what was the last world you visited like?
(He hasn’t mentioned to him about Ken so far, so he is currently keeping his mouth shut for now.)
no subject
He honestly thought he would be, too.]
Last place I was stuck was world-hopping bullshit.
no subject
So you have been hopping between worlds before coming here?
no subject
20 or so, yeah.
no subject
Wow, that is a lot of worlds to visit.
no subject
(And just think, Shinji missed the point where there were three of the same person all at once.)]
Yeah, well. The world-hopping was an excuse for a cosmic-scale board game, so.
no subject
(And he thought that a large scale wizard chess was among the craziest things he has ever done.)
no subject
Not all bullshit, but mostly.
no subject
Anyway, my name is Harry Potter, but just Harry is fine. Originally from England, though I was in Scotland when I was first brought over here.
no subject
Name's Shinji.
no subject
Nice to meet you then.
no subject
Also Gekkoukan's teachers are fucking awful, so I probably wouldn't have learned it there anyway.
no subject
no subject
He's running off the assumption Nobunaga lost the war he declared on his own pancreas.]
School nurse throws out lesson plans to talk about magic instead whenever he substitutes in. And then there's the asshole who thought saving his own reputation was more important than a student missing for a week and a half.
(She turned up fine, no fucking thanks to him.)
no subject
I have no words to say about it besides I’m sorry that you and your schoolmates have to deal with that. I also have my fair share of bad teachers too: one professor was a corrupt government official sent to suppress anything suspicious in my fifth year while there was one incompetent professor in my second year who couldn’t catch Cornish pixies to save his life.
no subject
Lemme guess, their definition of 'anything suspicious' was 'anything they didn't like.'
no subject
(He hasn’t mentioned about Voldemort’s second rise to power just yet, but he does have a feeling that Shinjiro is able to guess what he is talking about.)
no subject
[By 'most' he means '99 percent.' Shinji has... Problems with authority figures.]
no subject
no subject
Or possibly just because the Traveler gacha machine was Like That. Anyway:] Some of the people who did similar shit after us didn't have any adults around who knew what was up.
We did, but it turned out the main one was using us to try to end the fucking world. Still not sure whether 'no adults to help' or 'the adults are actively fucking with you and saying they're helping' is worse.
no subject
So wait, one person from your world tried to end it through you guys?
no subject
I mostly heard about it after the fact, but he sure did.

Well that sounds fucking awful.

I'd ask what the fuck is wrong with your school (and seriously, what the fuck is wrong with your school)
But mine turned into a helltower full of monsters every night for a decade, so I got no room to talk.
no subject
Wait, your school turned into a tower full of monsters every night for ten years? That is really creepy. What caused that to happen in the first place?
