Canon is Dresden Files, game is The Warehouse

[in_the_book]

Hey, you.  Yeah, you.  Mun.

I'm aware it's my birthday.  But I'm still stuck in Univille.  So don't go celebrating just yet.  Time ratio, remember?

See what you can do about getting me some presents, okay?  Least you can do after what you've put me through and what you're planning.

Who knows boss maybe you'll get me, Mun's can be cool like that.

[in_the_book]

I should be so lucky, Bob. I'd forgotten just how much I rely on your knowledge. Plus, even with all their promises, I'm still worried about what you'd get up to without me.

[harrys_skull]

Me I'm actually in another game....and staying out of trouble promise. I do miss you boss seriously.

[in_the_book]

Yeah, well... I miss you too, Bob. Life's a lot more boring without you.

[harrys_skull]

Now I wish I had hands...and a tape recorder so I could have a record of you saying that.

[in_the_book]

You? With blackmail material? Now there's a scary thought.

[harrys_skull]

Boss the game I'm in right now is crawling with it. So many hormones.

[rules_winter]

Is it wise to demand gifts from beings who wield such power over you? Ever do you amuse I suppose.

[Oh, joy. Mab. Queen of Air and Darkness. Current owner of his debt. Perpetual offerer of the Winter Knight job. Possessor of a really fantastic ass.]

Eh, wouldn't want him getting an ego. I mean, if I don't mouth off to him, he'll think I'm afraid of him. And that ain't happening.

[rules_winter]

I believe the general consensus among those with whom you regularly interact is that you ... mouth off as a manner of masking your fear. In which case one might postulate that there will be no negative drain on this one's ego.

Do you still desire gifts, Wizard? Surely something might be arranged should your mundane fail to provide.

[in_the_book]

Not on your life. The price tag for your gifts is way too high.

[rules_winter]

I never doubt that you will find need to request them eventually.

[in_the_book]

Yeah, not gonna happen.

[rules_winter]

I believe the human phrase is 'never say never' is it not? None the less, I am patient. Life is never certain, especially for a man of your proclivities. Enjoy your birthday Wizard Dresden.

[raggedlady]

Hey boss Happy Birthday! Sorry I kinda missed it.

[in_the_book]

[Excuse him for a minute, his brain is busy rebooting. Because he's still getting used to the idea of his Molly knowing what "fun-time handcuffs" were, and now all of... this...]

Molly???

[raggedlady]

[It'll probably break a little more as they continue to talk. Molly doesn't realize he's all that much younger.]

In the flesh. Your eyes aren't going bad are they?

[in_the_book]

When did you get all...? [vague gestures]

[raggedlady]

[That earns a bewildered look for a second before she grins slyly]

All grown up boss? Got my big girl boobs and butt?

[She is definitely having fun right now and if he doesn't redirect he'll learn about how much more she's grown up in the most embarrassing ways possible]

[in_the_book]

[Oh, Hell's Bells. He really does not need this. He still needs to be able to look Michael in the eye and have Charity not kill him.]

...Why do you keep calling me boss?

[raggedlady]

Umm I think master sounds too S&M for you or something? Is this a guess the obvious game or something?

[murph]

[No words, none were needed. There was just the heavy plunk of a couple of plain brown bottles (room temperature of course) and a folded over bag with the initials BK in big red letters. She took a seat and slid one of the bottles to him and took the other.]

[in_the_book]

[He grabbed the bottle and raised it in a small salute.]

You're an angel, Murph.

[murph]

Not yet, maybe someday if I work real hard though. [She smirked and tipped the top of her bottle at him in return.]

I had a feeling you could use a birthday pick me up, and food in genral. It's pretty much guaranteed that you are running on too little food anr/or sleep at any time.

[in_the_book]

More than you'd think, actually. I've only had two big emergencies since my mun dropped me into this game. Plus, actual hot water.
