MERLIN’S BEARD, THEODORA SELWYN (PHOEBE TONKIN), IS THAT YOU? it’s been so long – i thought you might’ve been dead! i mean, you never know in times like these. well, it’s good to have you back in the fight. come on now, there’s no time to waste – we need you to re-enter the fray within the next 48 hours, or else i fear all might be lost. don’t let us down – the world is counting on you.

[ she/her, cis woman ] greetings to all of our listeners! we start today’s potterwatch with a long-awaited update on theodora aletheia selwyn iv who was finally spotted alive just last night, wandering the streets of london. for those of you who haven’t tuned in before, they are a 24 (physically 21) year old pure-blood (unregistered nightjar animagus; turned vampire) witch who is oddly reminiscent of the haunting stillness of a cemetery, slow dancing with ghosts as moonlight shines through trees; the twisted tenderness in the way a predator holds its prey before the kill; a velvet choker tight like a noose around the neck — a sharp contrast against pale skin; crazed eyes accompanying a feral grin; a blood-pop leisurely being suckled to temporarily sedate the hunger within, which makes sense considering their curious, venturesome, innovative, hedonistic, impulsive, and amoral nature. you might know of them as the biological child of thelonius eleazar selwyn ii and elizabeth hephzibah burke iii, and we’re sure that their family will be relieved to hear they’re safe and sound — or at least as much as you can be, in times like this. to all our listeners, if you catch a glimpse of someone who looks a bit like that muggle phoebe tonkin, that’s them. before approaching, please be aware that they’re rumored to be affiliated with the death eaters, so best proceed with caution. these are dangerous times we’re living in. well, thanks for tuning in, folks. we’ll play ourselves out with together we go down in the dark by julius black.
