10th Contract - [video/action]

[conesoldstober]

[Howl is on his front lawn. He's beaming, looking happier than he's been in months, his blond hair flying artfully in the wind.]

Good morning, City. Or is it afternoon? I've been rather preoccupied, actually.

[He sends another blinding grin in the direction of the camera before he turns around. He raises his arms, and begins to speak. The words sound not entirely like his own voice, and don't seem to stay in your mind no matter how well you listen. They finish with a crack of thunder, and suddenly storm clouds start to fill the clear blue sky. They gather over the lawn where Howl is standing, and it begins to rain torrentially, carefully avoiding getting Howl wet of course. After a few moments it clears, the clouds dispersing to leave hot, wet sunshine and a single rainbow.

He's grinning so hard his face might split.]



bloody hell it feels good to be back.



[ooc: Howl's magic is returned! Which means he is in a celebratory mood. /nudgenudgewinkwink. Feel free to come by his place to witness this little display, or bump into him around town.]

I tend to only blow things up when I intend to, and I have no intention of not being to broadcast this.

[harrydresden]

There is no justice in this world.

[conesoldstober]

Does magic generally effect electronics in your world?

[harrydresden]

Yep. I can kill a camera at 20 paces.

[conesoldstober]

Did a camera kill your family and you've been seeking your revenge ever since?

[harrydresden]

[Wow... that sounded a lot like something Harry would say. He's eyeing you trying to figure out if you're stealing his schtick on purpose or if you guys have something in common. And if that ought to upset him.]

Nope, I'm pretty sure it wasn't a camera that killed my family. Just sort of collateral damage in this case. Unless I'm trying to be super sneaky or something.

[conesoldstober]

[You are the only sassfactory around, Harry.]

Interesting.

Granted the world I do most of my magic in isn't quite up to speed on electronics yet. But back home it doesn't seem to affect it at all.

[harrydresden]

[Oh good, if he didn't have his really bad humor to make him stand out he'd have to rely on his height and that's just sad.]

Sometimes life is supremely unfair.

[conesoldstober]

At least I haven't heard any complaints from my nephew about the computer games I make him.

[harrydresden]

You make computer games?

[conesoldstober]

Well yes. They're not very difficult and it's the only way I can garner any sort of enthusiasm from him at seeing me anymore. Thirteen is such a dour age.

[He's from 1986, Harry. Games are not very complicated at his point.]

[harrydresden]

[This is a guy who has been banned from a thirty foot radius of his friend's computer because the last time he was that close it committed seppuku.]

The whole... magic thing isn't enough to garner interest huh? Kids these days.

[conesoldstober]

My family doesn't know about any of that. I don't come from a world where magic is generally accepted outside of the white rabbit in a hat routine.

[harrydresden]

You mean not accepted as in they don't believe, or not accepted as in ... pitchforks and flames a la Frankenstein's monster?

[conesoldstober]

The former. Although I'm sure if I tried to explain it to my sister it'd be loony bin at the very least.

[harrydresden]

Well the former is a lot better than the latter. I rode a zombie dinosaur through downtown Chicago and people still don't believe, normal people just don't want to, them's the brakes.

It usually runs in the family in my world, so I suppose if I'd had family to explain it to they'd have understood. [And his more recently discovered family; brother is a Vampire Succubus and grandfather is a ridiculously strong wizard. So no looney bins thankfully. ]

[conesoldstober]

Its more random where I'm from. Both places.

[harrydresden]

I know a woman who sort of keeps an eye on her descendents. Sometimes it's hard for the regular mortals to deal with, someone who ages as slowly as we do. Her's is the only one I've seen really take it well. So I suppose I get that.
