A dirty man appears [Video/Action]

[harrydresden]

[Video clicks on right as someone in jeans, cowboy boots and a T-shirt that says "+20 Shirt of Smiting" across it, sits down in the fountain. Harry is looking particularly unkempt like maybe he hasn't washed in uh... a few months. Because he's been mostly dead. He got 'not dead' only a little while ago so it's totally not his fault. Well ok it kind of is. Anyway, he jumps right back up with a shout of protest. ]

Hey! Stars and stones that's... uh... not as cold as it should be.

[He realizes he is no longer at the edge of an Island at the south end of Lake Michigan. And that is about the time a long stick drops out of the sky and beans him across the head. There is cursing. Luckily the video fuzzes enough that people can't be TOO offended by it. Between bits of snow he picks up the staff from the water and frowns at it.]

I thought you bit the dust. What the hell is going on?

[And now he realizes he's not even in Chicago. And this is definitely not the Nevernever. Unless they got a really creative ghost taking up residency. He stomps toward the edge of the water which is still doing a decent job of grounding his magic out and letting that device keep broadcasting.]

Huh, someone dropped their... phone? Thing? Did phones change again? I can't keep up with this crap. What's the red light mean? Hell's bells,  did I break it already?

You're a wizard? Hmm...

[He sounds like he has a hard time believing it.]

[harrydresden]

That's what it says in the phonebook.

[The disbelief earns an amused look in the device because serious, we're talking about curses, like a wizard's that much more odd]

[rianofski]

You list that kind of thing in the phonebook? Do people generally call you with wizardly problems?

[He's only kind of disbelieving, but still.]

[harrydresden]

Sure, how else am I supposed to get word out?

Yeah of course they do. I have a lot of prank calling and calls for kids parties too but there's real work in there.

[Shun the disbeliever shuuunnnnn :)]

[rianofski]

That makes a surprising amount of sense.

[harrydresden]

It's a pain in the ass but at least I expect it.

[rianofski]

You should get settled in. Go to the Welcome Center, learn everything you can, and find somewhere to stay for the night. I can only imagine that you're not exactly happy about being here.

[harrydresden]

Thanks man. I'll do that.

There are pluses and minuses. Definitely.

[rianofski]

Mostly minuses, from what I've seen. Still, I wish you luck settling in.

[harrydresden]

You have to have seen what I came from to really get it. Thanks, I'll manage somehow.
