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?

Coyotes are a lot better at repressing their natural instincts than wolves are. I don't blame them for being what they are. {Much. Most of the time. Sometimes.]

Smart and learny, huh? {He does seem to know how to make her laugh.] Uh huh... Theriomorph isn't too bad, I suppose.

Magic, well... everyone who does magic here seems to have a different way of doing it, so I'd bet you're right.

[harrydresden]

Well don't worry I'll do it for you.

How about I just call you Mercedes. Seems like the decent thing to do.

[coyote_walking]

[She... kind of likes that he said that, even if she'd probably never admit it.]

Mercedes or Mercy is just fine - whichever you prefer.

[harrydresden]

[She'll learn to get annoyed by it. Most women seem to.]

All right then, now that that's settled things will be easier. [Have a lopsided smile.]

[coyote_walking]

[Well, she did grow up with werewolves, so he had a lot farther to go on the annoyed spectrum than he would with most women.]

Oh definitely. [And definitely teasing.]

Anyway, welcome to the City and all its oddities. If you want, I can meet you at the Welcome Center at some point, bring you out to show you the beach house.

[harrydresden]

Thanks for the welcome.

Uh. Yeah, give me at least half an hour. I really need to get clean. But anytime after that's fine, I'll just explore until you're not busy. I've got nothing better to do I guess. [It's not like he's got a job here yet after all.]

[coyote_walking]

Absolutely.

I'll see you there in a bit.

[She wondered if she should point out that while she knew him - or at least another version of him from before - and felt pretty confident of her safety with him in the house, he had no idea who she was.

Nah.]

[harrydresden]

[Harry will never learn when it comes to women that some are there to protect, some are good at protecting themselves and some are there to get you very very dead. Stupidity about women is built in.]

[OOC: And fade?]

[Yep I think so :)]
