Harry Dresden has posed:
6 in the afternoon on a monday, Mac's is doing a brisk, but not insane buisness, a group of older men sitting at a table, playing chess and speaking quietly with each other, a pair of witches eating sandwiches and looking at a magazine, various others of the supernatural world are peppered through the 13 carved columns and at the tables. Sitting in one corner is one Harry Dresden, PI, and steak afficionado, already on his second bottle of ale while he waits for his steak a large pile of fluff laying down beside his booth a steel bowl with a bown in it happily being nibbled and licked at by the huge dog.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers hasn't actually been to Mac's pub before, but she has heard of it, having moved in the same sort of supernatural circles as most of it's customers, no doubt. She was curious to check it out in person, and with any luck she might even glean some useful information from some of them as well. She pauses at the entrance, peering around at the pillars, counting them with a slight smirk, along with the tables. "Thirteen, huh? I thought that was an unlucky number.." she murmurs softly as her gaze sweeps the room.

Harry Dresden has posed:
"Harry." Comes the call of Mac as a plate is set on the bar as the owner doesn't use serving staff. "One more." Harry calls out as he stands up, the tall lanky wizard making his way through the bar to get his plate and another bottle of the ale. "Thanks Mac." he adds moving to make his way back towards his table.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers arches a brow as she hears a somewhat familiar name being called out, followed by the appearance of an unmistakably tall guy. She smirks, following his movement across the floor. "Harry Dresden, wasn't it? Long time, no see!" she calls out cheerfully, "Fancy meeting you here.."

Harry Dresden has posed:
Harry Dresden glances over "Ahh, yes, how's the hunting going? Bessy wasn't it? No, Buffy." he corrects himself. "First time to Mac's?" he asks curiously continueing on past to sit back down at his booth. "Feel free to join me if you want, Mac takes orders over at the bar." he explains

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers arches a brow at the 'Bessy' bit. But she's relieved that he quickly corrects himself. "Buffy, that's it. And yeah, thought I'd check out this place. I also have a question or two if you have a moment.." she peers at the bar, nodding and places her order, a simple dish fish and chips with a side of gin and tonic. Oh yeah, she's got convincing fake ID, hopefully they won't question it or check it under a magical lens or something.

Once she makes her order, she follows Harry to the table, immediately spotting the cute ball of fluff at his feet. "Ooh, who is this? He's super cute!" of course, Buffy hasn't yet seen him at his full height.

Harry Dresden has posed:
Doggosaurus Mouse looks up from his bone, standing up sand stretching, a doggie grin on his face as he looks over at Buffy his tail flitting back and forth as he greets the girl, sitting back on his haunches he lifts up a paw to 'shake'

Harry just grins and nods. "Sure, pull up a seat, I'll answer between bites." he says as he pulls out a bottle of ketchup and steak sauce mixxing the two together on the side of his plate for his wedges, he starts to dig into the steak covered in sauted mushrooms and onions.. "That's Mouse, Mac likes to spoil him." Harry introduces.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers awwes. "My, aren't you a friendly doggy?" she takes the paw and shakes it. "Mouse huh? He looks more like a lion to me." with a chuckle and a shrug, Buffy slides into the seat opposite Harry. "So. This is..An interesting place. Accorded neutral territory, huh, I guess? And what's with the thirteen pillars and thirteen tables? I thought thirteen was an unlucky number." She does take a moment to glance over at the other customers with a smirk. "So. Are they all wizards and witches too?"

Harry Dresden has posed:
Harry Dresden takes another bite of his steak and washes it down with the fresh bottle of ale before shaking his head. "It's sort of well..." he pauses gathering his thoughts before he continues. "When someone plays a game, they tend to remember the times they lose, and lose badly versus all the times that they win." he explains "Numbers, like Three, Seven, and Thirteen are powerful in magical circles. Deny a fae three times, and your refusal may as well be written in stone. Things like that." he explainsbefore motioning around the tavern. "The pillars, and tables, they're a sort of feng shui, the energies of the people here are broken up by the pillars, the fans, and the tables." he explains. "The others here, some have talents towards wizardry, others are minor talents, they all come here for the food, and as a community." he explains.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers ooohs, "Magical Feng-Shui? That's a new one." she smirks, "Unfortunately, I'm not terribly magically inclined, but I'm sure that would be right up Willow's alley, honestly. Soo, how goes the business, lately? Have you been experiencing any spikes in demons lately?" she relaxes in her seat, waiting patiently for her meal. "Interesting place though.."

Harry Dresden has posed:
Harry Dresden continues to enjoy his meal shaking his head. "No, no demons. had a small spat of Vampires a few weeks ago, but nothing about Demons. What do you know?" he asks curiously leaning back in his chair.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers hmms, "Vampires. Yeah, I know all about vampires. Nothing particularly notable lately, except a few outcroppings of vampire gangs in Gotham, although Bludhaven has always been the main feature for hellmouthish creatures." she shrugs, "However, there is one thing in particular I wanted to ask you..What do you know of vampires? Particularly, different..Uh, breeds of vampires? I recently came across particularly strong vamps who couldn't be stabbed to kill. Had to cut off their heads."

Harry Dresden has posed:
Harry Dresden quirks a brow. "I'd have to look into my resources about something like that. IT could be they had a spell on them that made them tougher, necromancy. It could be all sorts of things." he explains.
