Hells Bells...

...why do there have to be computers? If I was going to be teleported to some brave new world, why does it have to be filled with these techy things? My magic doesn't jive with computers...or anything based on microchips. Since I have to use these things, I'll have to learn to keep my magic in check so I don't fry a motherwhatsit. It's straining me right now, though, since I'm not used to it.

So before I fry this terminal I'm on, I thought I'd say hi, since I'm new here. My name is Harry Dresden, private detective, professional wizard and Warden of the White Council...not that that means anything here, I guess. Strange to find out I'm a character in a series of wildly popular books, but nothing should surprise me anymore. I'll admit I miss Chicago, and especially Bob right now. I bet he'd have some answers.

I will say the group of people...and I use the term loosely...here looks colorful, to say the least. Upside is, it's a whole new world of folks I haven't pissed off, killed or blown up yet. Uh oh the goes termin bett crap

Only stuff I take are potions, sometimes. Thanks though

[ex_minoru481]

That's really Harry Potter of you.

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

Who?

[ex_minoru481]

OMFG BLASPHEMY! You seriously don't know Harry Potter? :o I mean, you're kinda old but everyone knows Harry Potter! The books were like, a worldwide phenomena! Wherever you're from, your world is deprived.

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

Nope, only books I have time to read are spellcasting books

[magicbone]

really?

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

yes, I have dozens in my lab, along with books on faeries, demons, vampires, etc

[magicbone]

this is probably a bad question but um did they come through with you?

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

No, I wasn't in my lab when I was brought here. I was about to gank some Red Court vamps. I remember a lot, though. Why?

[magicbone]

I um. miss magic. that's all.

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

Miss it? Did you lose your abilities when you came here?

[magicbone]

well um it's kind of complicated! see part of it's inborn but a lot of it has to do with um, outside forces and the availability of materials and stuff. which they don't have here. yeah.

[ex_wells219]

That really is a bad question.

[magicbone]

fjdkskjs shut up, I'm not going to do anything.

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

Um, what's going on?

[ex_wells219]

I'm sure questioning popular book/tv show characters who do magic seems like a good idea, but it's just the beginning of a backwards slide... uh, interviews don't count.

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

backwards slide? what am I missing here?

[magicbone]

no backwards slide happening here.

[ex_minoru481]

...Since there are about two spellbooks that I've found, and both of them are more historic text than genuine grimoire, I'd say you're going to have way more time on your hands! :D

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

Heh, I'm sure I'll do just fine, kid

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

Do you have a copy I can borrow?

[ex_minoru481]

Yes! Or at least, I know where I can buy one.

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

Please show me when you get an opportunity.

[ex_minoru481]

Sure! There's a store called Rule 42, run by the two-man freakshow up there, if you want to pick them up yourself. Or I live in 101 Pisces if you want to come over, I'm pretty sure my roommate could kill you if you turned out to be a psychopath. :)
