Hells Bells...

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

...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

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.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

That he does. So, exactly what kind of wizardry are we talking, here?

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

Mine? Usually finding loss objects, thaumaturgy (manipulation of magical and natural energies), summoning spells, fire and wind magic are my specialties. Why?

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Just curious. Don't have particularly fond memories of magic users back home.

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

Oh? Might I ask what happened?

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

No, not really. Anyway, welcome to the neighborhood or whatever.

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Sorry you were touched by black magic, I'm guessing. That's rough stuff. If I can help, let me know.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Actually, this was one of the white hats, but whatever. Not really interested in talking about it.

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

Okay. If you change your mind, I don't seem to be going anywhere.

[giantego]

OH GOD DON'T GET HIM STARTED.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

I probably don't want to know anyway.

[giantego]

You really, really, reheheheeeeeeally don't.

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

What are you talking about?

[giantego]

Oh hi welcome to the aquarium blah blah blah I'm Dr. Perry Cox and I've had to sit through so many of Elle's (Andrew's) stories that my ears actually bled. I'm sparing you, man. Be grateful.

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

Hi, and thanks. You're a doctor? Do you have any experience with rehabilitation?

[giantego]

I've got rehab under my belt. Or is that not the kind you're talking about? Be more specific, nerd fodder.

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

Yes sir, doctor sir. My hand got badly burned by napalm a while back while fighting vampires, and I'm working to make it as functional as I can.

[giantego]

Definitely the different kind of rehabilitation then. You're in luck, I've been working with Babylon's trauma patients for a few months now. Come to the hospital and they'll set you up with someone, and that someone will probably be me, because they like it when ~ficcies~ deal with other ficcies. We'll just be super best buds forever!

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

Great, I'll stop by tomorrow. I look forward to meeting you. Us mean old men have to stick together and tell these kids to get off our lawn.

[giantego]

I'm not a team player, but the old men club of Babylon will probably welcome you with open arms and an open bar.

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

Does this bar have ale?

[giantego]

It's a bar. I'm going to go with yes.

[wizardresden.livejournal.com]

I'm in, especially if there's food.
