re: reserved at savetheearth, re-voicetesting and frantically canon reviewing

At some point, mun, we're going to need to talk about the part where you keep forgetting I'm up here and only remembering when you want to throw me at something.

For now? Harry Dresden, English Teacher doesn't have the same ring to it as Harry Dresden, Professional Wizard does. And don't think I don't see those first post ideas you're hatching--they aren't as hilarious as you think they are, trust me.

[Well, I already decided on your job, Harry. Sorry. Just don't burn down a building within a week of getting in, all right?]

Oh, ye of little faith.

You know what they say about those who can't do...

[fuego]

All too well.

[masterofbling]

What are you going to do? Perform Macbeth?

[fuego]

I don't know, I misplaced my cauldron a while ago. It just hasn't been the same.

[masterofbling]

Try checking Costco. They might have something. If you're looking for something bigger, the tubs at Home Depot should do in a pinch.

[fuego]

Damn, I hadn't thought about that. And here I am shopping in all the wrong places. I guess Costco's got eye of newt now, too?

[masterofbling]

Internet.

[fuego]

Haven't got it.

[All that lovely tech would short out if he gets close, poor thing.]

[masterofbling]

Haven't got any friends either?

[fuego]

You know, contrary to popular belief, all you need to do to make friends is to reach out and talk to someone.

[A shrug, and casually:] Unfortunately, sometimes you get enemies the same way.

[masterofbling]

As I know too well. The odds vary from 90:10 to 50:50. I do enjoy a good spin of the wheel. That still doesn't answer my question though.

[fuego]

I've got them. [No need to mention the part where they think he's dead.]

Never tell me the odds.

[masterofbling]

Sure you do. Not a betting man?

[fuego]

Nah, I've got enough danger to deal with most of the time without having to gamble.

[masterofbling]

English teacher by day. Man of action by night. You'll wing it somehow.

[fuego]

I wouldn't get much sleep if I did the man of action thing every night. Maybe weekends.

[masterofbling]

Including major holidays?

[fuego]

No rest for the wicked.

[masterofbling]

You're not particularly green though.

[fuego]

I've got plenty of rings. None of them, sadly, are green in any way.

[masterofbling]

An old tree. No wonder you're such a stiff.

I squee every time I see Harry Dresden muses

[Alec's met a lot of Downworlders, but he's never heard of a real wizard like mundanes talk about or someone claiming to be a 'professional' one.]

Is being a professional wizard like being the High Warlock?

[debtofhounds]

Now, now, godson.

Don't look down on those whose professions revolve around language. Not when words can be so important.

[nicodemus]

I'm sure they'll appreciate learning the gift of gab and sarcasm from you, Dresden. Hopefully they'll have more sense on when to use it. The other suits you more. English does take a bit of finesse that I hardly believe you to have.

[ Don't mind Nicodemus. He's just being a shit. ]

[talentsgirl]

Does that mean I get to call you Professor?
