---

Harry Dresden has posed:
Harry is sitting at the desk, going through a file. Mouse sleeps infront of the desk. Mister, atypically, is sitting on the desk and Harry is petting him while he reads.

Turning a page he reaches for his cup of coffee and mutters softly,"I need an apprentice or a secretary to some day." Mostly to himself, because who else is listening. Mouse chuffs softly so maybe he isn't completely asleep.

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith's arrival is easy to detect if you know what to listen for. Loud engine, followed closely with loud music. The sudden ceasing of conversation by those gossiping women down the hall... and usually the smell of greasy food garanteed to clog the arteries of any normal man.He's carrying two large bags with "Burger King" emblazoned on the side as he knocks twice and then his silver penticle lets him past the wards on the door. He immediatly reaches into one of the bags and tosses a burger patty into Mister's bowl, and a whole burger (No cheese...we'll never make that mistake again...) to Mouse. "Hey Harry. I brought lunch.. Is Willow here? I got one of those Impossible Woppers too if she is.."

Harry Dresden has posed:
Harry doesn't bother to look up until he senses the wards flex and permit his brother's arrival. Once that happens, he raises his gaze to meet that of his brother.

Mouse jumps up and goes to annihilate the burger happily. A shake of his head and Harry replies,"Willow isn't around right now. She is working on something I think." Good boyfriend knowing what she is doing right?

He closes the file and adds,"We're going to be going to Canada in the near future. I think I finally found that critter that haunted the girl's dreams. Not that I have seen any of them for a while other than Willow, but I think it is as well we go have a look."

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith nods as he hands the now slightly lighter bag to Harry, "Double Whopper with Bacon, and a large fries." He then pulls a truly massive cup from a drink holder and adds "Regular Coke, no flavor shots." Before settleing in the Client chair and unpacking his own food. "Canada huh? Which part?" He asks curiously, "You gonna need me to check in on the boys?"

Harry Dresden has posed:
"No flavor shots. You live to see another day." he replies with a snort and takes the cup to hand and puts in the straw to take a drink. He nods approvingly and considers.

"Probably yes. Make sure they don't burn down the house or Mister doesn't get too bored." he replies,"Mouse is coming with us. If you feel brave and want to try to take Mister to the club you can try."

For his part, Mister gives Thomas a look that says 'try it and see what you get.'. Bored with the people interactions, Mister drops to the floor and and heads back to the apartment area.

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith chuckles and calls after the cat "Like you didn't love having the girls all fawning over you last time." he sips his own drink (Root beer, two shots of vanilla one of cherry) and nods. "Anything you need, you know that. What about Bob? If he's been good I stopped by an estate sale the other day and they had a cardboard box just bursting with those Old Lady Romance books he likes. I can drop a few off 'Behind your back.'" The last part being given air quotes.

Harry Dresden has posed:
"Keep an eye on him yes." he replies,"Help him keep up his clandestine aspirations." Taking a few fries, he chews thoughtfully. A sigh and he admits,"I am hoping this will be the last weird dream for people around here, but I am not betting on it."

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith chuckles. "He's a skull with simple needs." he says with mild amusement and takes a few of his own fries (Extra salt) and nods. "Okay, fill me in... yah know so when this inevitablly blows up I know what I am dashing into to save you."

Harry Dresden has posed:
"Wendigo." he replies,"Not the bigfoot monster. Something far worse. Something that chose to commit cannibalism and is now cursed to walk the Earth for eternity. Immortal. Not unkillable, but immortal. It constantly craves human flesh, perpetually hungry and never sated. Beyond difficult to kill too."

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith sighs slightly and shakes his head. "So some Cannibal Abombible Snowman is somehow messing with peoples dreams, and it's Canadia?" He shakes his head and three points his burger wrapper. "And it's Canadian? I mean does that mean it appologizes before or after it eats it's prey?" He asks with a wicked smile before in a more serious tone adding "Whatever happened to flaming poo flinging monkey demons? I could handle flaming poo flinging monkey demons.

Harry Dresden has posed:
"These are particularly big like the abominal snowman or bigfoot. Theses tend to to long, tall, slim, emaciated, and by all accounts the definition of evil."

The joys of monster stuff. He takes a bite of his burger and chews thoughtfully. Mouse glances at the door and sits, just watching and waiting for something. Harry considers him and lets the dog be...well himself.

A sigh and he drinks his coat,"It was easier then. The monkeys. You, me, and Murphy. Things have gotten far more complicated."

Faith Lehane has posed:
Speaking of Complicated, in bursts Faith, looking hungry and like she's just been in a fight. A couple bruises, a torn shirt. But hey that's hardly new. She always looks like she's either Lookin ' for a fight, or she just got out of a fight. Either way, she glances around, not bothering to wipe her slightly muddy boots on the mat. But at least she's not prancing round his apartment and mostly stays on the mat..For now.

"Yo Harry, are you...? Mmmm, what smells so good?" her nose twitches hungrily, dark eyes following the smell of burgers. "Got any extras? I'm so hungry I could eat an elephant." hey, slaying is hard work!

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith shrugs slightly and reaches into the bag he set beside him, tossing Faith a green wrapered "burger". "I'd grabbed it in case Willow was here so it's one of those soy burgers.." He warns, not willing to subject fake meat on anyone without their consent. "You can have some of my fries too if you want." He looks his lover up and down slowly, "So what does the other guy look like?"

Harry Dresden has posed:
Harry looks at Faith as she enters. Mouse chuffs and then wanders off to the apartment area. Burger ate, time to go sprawl out somewhere and leave the people to their talking.

Harry takes a bite of his burger and considers Faith again,"I'd wager pale and confused by the way the woman was throwing it around." Another drink of Coke and he considers the pair together a moment.

Faith Lehane has posed:
Faith Lehane catches the burger and us already biting hungrily into it when he mentions tofu. "Whaaa?!" she'd spit it out if she wasn't so hungry. Instead, Faith makes an effort of gulping its down and swallowing, glancing around urgently for a drink to wash it down. "Ew what the hell is with all that tofu shit?" she makes a face.

She peers around and smirks at Thomas. "Oh Heey, Thomas, did I interrupt a sensitive little brothers heart to heart?" she seems amused.

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith shrugs a bit, "Old habits. I'm convinced he'll starve to death if I don't feed him occasioanlly." Thomas says with a mild smirk and shrugs, "Well I bought it in case Willow was here. And I'm pretty sure it's soybeans not tufu." He adds with a chuckle. "Did you need to speak to Harry in private?"

Harry Dresden has posed:
"There are too many things relying on me to eat now." he replies and takes a bite of his burger,"I have to think to feed them, so I feed me along the way."

Shaking his head he tells Faith,"Just talking about him keeping an eye on things. Willow and I are going up to Canada with a friend of hers to look into the thing that caused the dreams a while back. We have more or less nailed it down."

Faith Lehane has posed:
Faith Lehane hastily grabs a beer from the icebox, thurstily chugging it down as Thomas talks about gross stuff like soybeans. "Seriously, next time warn me before I take a bite!" she's still eating the burger of course, but washing it down with swigs of beer.

Harry is given a bemused grin, shaking her head, "Ooh a private getaway to the great white North? Sounds romantic." her tone is only semi sarcastic.

"Nah.." Faith shrugs a shoulder, "Ain't nothing I can't say in front of you..Just wanted to mention that something, probably something to do with those crazy glyphs in Darlington park, caused s bunch of long dead people to rise as vampires from the nearby centenary the other night.."
