Voice (And I wrote this two days ago not meaning it as foreshadowing)

[harrydresden]

Is it wrong that I keep expecting something to jump out and try to eat my face?  It's been a while since the last thing did that and my life seems somehow incomplete.  That's not an invitation by the way.  But the end of the year and all... some guys get to worrying.

Maybe the City's giving you a break... you know, a vacation from things trying to eat your face.

[harrydresden]

I think it's making me more paranoid. But I'm enjoying the non-face-eating.

[anunluckypenny]

Try to relax. Have fun with the days off.

[dignity_misery]

I'm sure you can find something to eat your face. I guess you missed the mistletoe.

[Her jokes are always that bad, yes.]

[harrydresden]

Hahah. That was more face sucking. More pleasant if a little weird.

[dignity_misery]

It's tradition.

[horseish]

What sort of things eat faces?

[harrydresden]

Bad things. Things I should probably not have brought up in front of you kiddo. Sorry about that. It's just the big old guy being weird.

[horseish]

I read a book once about a monster that's at the bottom of the water and if you try to go swimming it pulls you under until your drown and then it eats you very slowly until you're just bones.

[valentineluke]

Tempting fate much?

[harrydresden]

Yeah I know. Jinxing it and everything. But it's making me all twitchy.

[valentineluke]

Put the nervous energy to use and work it off by cleaning.

[steleheart]

Don't jinx yourself!

[harrydresden]

I think that's my life in general. I figure eventually it'll come true regardless. And now I'm all twitchy.

[steleheart]

Maybe stay away from the caffeine and goading of deities.

... Is that the sort of thing that we're supposed to expect?

[harrydresden]

That is the sort of thing that happens to me. I don't think the setting makes much difference in the long run.

[onset]

Goodness. [He doesn't sound very sure of himself.] Sorry to hear that.

[aperfectthird]

Don't tempt the City. I'm sure something will jump out and attack you soon.

[harrydresden]

Tell me this place doesn't cater to things we say stupidly out loud.

[aperfectthird]

I would, but I'm afraid then I might be lying to you.

[doeswhathewants]

I believe this is what we would call a jinx.

intermittent video and voice

[harrydresden]

You look kinda pissed off kiddo.

I can't help it if I'm twitchy.

[mortemscintilla]

Maybe you should keep a can of mace handy?

Or a brick?

[ Li, pls. Harry can cast spells. ]

[harrydresden]

I prefer a big stick. But I've been kind of settling for what I can get at this point.
