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

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.

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

Hm, what can you do with your innate abilities alone? Where I'm from, people without much or any innate abilities can't really cast spells or wield any power.

[magicbone]

not much? um not really anything actually? special white balance for a camera and even that's questionable. it really all relies on supplies and stuff.

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

Sounds like our magicks come from a different place then.

[magicbone]

most likely. um still! it's cool that you're here.

[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?

[ex_wells219]

A chequered history of misdeeds and misfortune! Um but nothing really, it's okay.

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

Oh?

[ex_wells219]

Maybe it's better to ask Jonathan about this, I mean I guess if he thinks he's cool with coming into contact with magic then uh it's cool with me too!

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Magical misdeeds, huh. Do tell.

[ex_wells219]

Instead of asking these questions, I'm going to refer you to Doctor Cox re: taking me seriously.

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

I'm curious too, but he seems like a nice kid.

[giantego]

OH GOD DON'T GET HIM STARTED.

[magicbone]

no backwards slide happening here.

[ex_wells219]

Yeah, you're the paragon of innocence, Jonathan.

[magicbone]

punderful.
