[one] Well, I'm here.

[goodgrasshopper]

...And I think the idea of me being a warden is pretty funny, actually, considering I'm really just an apprentice.  But I guess things are different here.  Well, obviously things are different here, since I can actually use this nifty little Blackberry-thing, without it shorting out in my hands.

Oh--does anyone know of a good place to take a dog to to his business?  I mean--Mouse is pretty polite about these things, but he's going to have to go eventually.

They just keep making Wardens younger and younger these days.

[goodgrasshopper]

Well, age is just a number, right?

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

Considering one of the Wardens here is thirteen and has more stones than half the Barge... Gonna have to agree with you there.

Sooo, kiddo. I'm gonna take a shot in the dark here, but something tells me you're Dresden's apprentice, aren'tcha?

[Yes, Harry. He's schmoozing your apprentice. BE AFRAID.

....NOT LIKE THAT. JESUS CHRIST.]

[goodgrasshopper]

I'm a little more than thirteen. But I see what you mean.

...How did you know that?

[cisskabob]

Well, there's the CES. It's... this big room on the upper decks that looks like different outdoor places. Which isn't describing it too well, but you kind of have to see it to believe it? Anyway, it's the closest thing to the outdoors we have here. ...Your dog's name is Mouse?

I'm Cissie, by the way.

[goodgrasshopper]

...That would probably work pretty well, actually. Thanks!

I didn't actually name him--he's not really my dog. He's... kind of keeping an eye on my while I'm away from my boss. To make sure I don't get into any trouble. I guess he used to be kind of a little guy. He's really not that little anymore.

I'm Molly.

[cisskabob]

No problem! If you ever want a tour or anything, let me know.

Ahh, I see. Your boss, huh? Is that related to that apprentice thing you mentioned? ...Why would your communicator short out, by the way?

[goodgrasshopper]

Sure thing. I definitely wouldn't mind a tour--you're not afraid of dogs, are you?

Yeah, actually. The boss-man's a wizard--I'm an apprentice, and that's why most electronics don't really get along with me. I usually fry technology if it's on when I'm around.

[toldastory]

Welcome aboard. I'm Martha Jones, a warden and the head of the infirmary here. I'm sure someone has already mentioned CES to you, and I think on deck is wonderful for walks as well.

[goodgrasshopper]

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind--and I'm pretty sure Mouse will be grateful. I'm Molly--also a warden...

As you might have guessed.

[toldastory]

Good to meet you, Molly.

[goodgrasshopper]

Nice to meet you, too! I hope we get to know each other outside of your professional capacity.

Blackberry? [BEHOLD, AN AWESOME FUTURISTIC ALIEN.... WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW THE EFF TO WORK A CELL PHONE. Because the 80's are the way to the future, okay. But Martha probably told him what a Blackberry is, sometime. :/ ] Do you often have trouble with technology, that you find its good behaviour to be different?

[goodgrasshopper]

Well, I'm an apprentice wizard. Magic and electronics don't exactly get along. They usually fry when I'm around.

[thedetailsman.livejournal.com]

Hello there.

I'm Rusty Ryan, a new Warden here as well.

[goodgrasshopper]

Mice to meet you, Mr. Ryan. Nice to hear I'm not the only new person around!

[thedetailsman.livejournal.com]

Please, call my Rusty.

You know they have superheroes and demons on this thing?

[goodgrasshopper]

Sure--and you can call me Molly.

...Superheroes?

[tadwizard.livejournal.com]

Cool. An apprentice what?

And there's the CES, it's an above deck naturey thing.

[goodgrasshopper]

Wizard, actually.

Thanks--I'm sure Mouse will appreciate it.

[tadwizard.livejournal.com]

Wizard? Cool! I'm learning how to be a wizard, too. Can't really say apprentice, because the person who told me I could use magic and typed up directions on how to use it left the dimension, so I've mostly been just kinda figuring it out mostly on my own.

[goodgrasshopper]

...Did he tell you about the Laws? Because you should really know those. You can get into a lot of trouble with the Council if you mess up. The kind that ends in your head no longer being attached to your neck.

[chicagoshope.livejournal.com]

What, did Chicago get boring after I left?

[goodgrasshopper]

Well, you know how it is. Life gets quiet when you're not there antagonizing bad guys and stuff. I had to do something to keep busy...

[chicagoshope.livejournal.com]

Go figure, the trouble follows me around. I knew it.

Just so you know, ignore everything that comes out of Gabriel's mouth.
