[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.

Well, Mouse is kind of huge, but if you had a wolf around, you'll probably be all right. He's pretty much a teddy bear anyway.

Harry? Do you mean Harry Dresden?

[cisskabob]

I approve of teddy bears, that's for sure. But yeah, I'd be happy to give you and Mouse a tour!

Uh, yeah, actually! Do you know him?

[goodgrasshopper]

That would be great! Um. Whenever you're available. I don't have much of a schedule yet.

[incoherent flailing that Cissie can't see]

Yes! He's the boss-man!

[cisskabob]

Whenever's good for me! ...Sooner might be better than later, really, if your dog needs a walk.

Boss-man, huh? Small world! He's around here somewhere. Oh! Then you must know Murphy, too!

[goodgrasshopper]

...Good point. Sooner would definitely be better.

Yup. Obi-Wan to my Luke Skywalker, Mr. Miyagi to my Karate Kid. Or whatever. I leave the geek references to him. And I definitely know Murphy. She's here?

[cisskabob]

Can you find the deck, or--where are you? I can meet you in your common room, or something?

Those are pretty awesome geek references, though. That's got to be cool, learning magic. Harry's a nice guy. ...He was the wolf, by the way.

And--yeah. Murphy's here. But she's... kind of unconscious at the moment. We don't know why. Sometimes people just fall asleep for a while, but when they wake up, they're fine. She's in the infirmary right now.

[goodgrasshopper]

The deck would be up, right? I'm in my cabin--level seven--but I'm pretty sure I can find my way to the deck.

It's fun--work, but fun. And Harry's a pretty good teacher. I get my best geek material from him.

...She'll be okay, though?

[cisskabob]

All the way up! I'll, uh, be the blond girl by the railing, I guess.

I can see that. Him being a good teacher, I mean. Though--the geek stuff too.

Yeah, she will. The doctors are looking after her, and most people just wake up confused.

[goodgrasshopper]

And I'll be the blond girl with the temple dog (think something mastiff-sized).

That's good. Then I'll try not to worry.

[cisskabob]

...That is a big dog. I don't think I'll be able to miss you. I'll be up in a few!

[goodgrasshopper]

I'll meet you up there!
