What the hell did you people do now?

I lost Tinkerbell.

[long silence, there's a muffled sigh]

She was the best roommate I ever had.

I hope she's alright...wherever she fluttered off to. [shifts in his chair] Who knows, maybe she returned to Neverland.

[silence again]

I really need to get out...

...

That's it. I fucking quit. This shit just got more insane than I ever thought it would.

Fuck

Alright, since our typical rallier isn't here, I'm going to pull this shindig together. We all have our parts to play in pulling this together and the important thing is to work as a group and be organized. As much as I'd love to go all gun's a blazing like some other people...we can't do things like that. So, here's the plan.

Riza and I are going to go out searching, systematically of course...so in a way we're working in tandem with Goofy. Rosette, you're good with guns so I'd like you to come with us. Wolf, if you want to put your nose to use, you'll help us sniff out Harry on the road. Tinkerbell, I'm going to need you with us as well. You can get into places most of us can't...plus you can fly.

Negi, Chao, and Molly, I want you lot investigating the wards and the surrounding area for clues. Harry's wards are DAMN good and not just anyone could have snuck in like that.

Jean, I've found some walkie-talkies. I want you to play coordinator. Keep those of us out there informed of what's happening on the network, should any clues pop up. I'll keep you informed as to our own status as well.

To be honest, I'm really not sure what the rest of you can do. If you see a group you think you'll be helpful in then join it. This is an all-hands on deck situation people. Otherwise, stay alert and stay here. I don't want any of you getting hurt and neither would Harry.

[EDIT/ooc: For the Negi, Chao, and Molly group...I had to email the mods about the wards so don't say anything about finding things yet because I don't know what we'll find. Once the mods respond to that I'll let you know and maybe we can do an investigation log or something]

Please tell me there's not two monsters in the river mating...









Oh, wait, I guess they could be fighting. Never mind...

It's like seeing the Discovery Channel or Animal Planet in real life.

Well, I hope you weren't too upset by my not being around lately, I've missed you all too.

So, who wants to go get a drink with me? I could really use one and I'm sure a lot of you could too. I'll even offer massages to the ladies if they want.

[Locked to Wolf]

Any more word on this 'support group' of yours?

[/Locked to Wolf]

[Locked to Harry]

So...guess what I found.

[/Locked to Harry]

So, what did we learn? No, more pep rallies in the subways and I'm just going to put this out here now...lets not have them on the rooftops of buildings either.

Just for future reference.

Hope everyone is doing alright though.

Ah, the New Year. Anyone thinking about resolutions yet? Or who they might kiss once it strikes midnight? Well, I haven't given much thought to the former...but the latter has a little list...after all I got some nice ones under the mistletoe. Then again, perhaps we should be more interested in the little New Years show we get...with that Zero fellow. It's not the ball drop but I guess beggars can't be choosers...though seriously I would much prefer to see the ball drop on New Years eve...maybe that's just me?

I see new faces are popping up again as well...though Fort Strand doesn't seemed to have picked up any new people...yet. Though...there is definitely something going on around here that I believe I need to be informed about. I'm looking at you Harry...don't think I haven't noticed you and a certain young woman acting much too happy for your usual selves.

Evangeline, I hope you found a place to stay...something tells me you wouldn't be interested in having roommates. Though that DOES remind me, I know someone you might be interested in meeting.

So, I found some candles. They don't do much for heat but I figure it can't hurt, right? I also found an electric blanket in this place which is also really cozy, I've been cranking that sucker up to 9 and it feels pretty good. What I could really go for though is a nice relaxing hot tub/jacuzzi. Nothing quite beats one of those...water wouldn't be a problem with the snow...the problem would be heating it...which I guess would not make it a hot tub.

Oh, and I'd have to find one...that'd also be helpful.

I'm feeling a little better after that crab invasion on our place. Do you think the crabs will die off in the cold? That'd be swell...or maybe they'll get snowed into the tunnels and starve, also good.

Poll #1299344 What is that thing?
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 9

What is that thing?

Really. I wanna know. Because this is just very messed up and completely ruining my Thursday.

...

Wait...Friday...even worse. Damn, it's Friday? I've slept in before but never this long. Damn.

Well...that went well...




Sooooooo...too early to pop open a few beers in celebration? Oh, right, still a few things to worry about like, oh, I dunno, getting off the island? Finding a way back home?

Still...I never really like passing up an excuse for drinking. Oh, such a dilemma.

What the FUCK! I mean, pardon my French, I knew that thing was huge but I didn't realize exactly HOW huge you meant. It was eating a WHALE for God's sake!








On the bright side anyone know how to make whale soup? Whale Burgers? Whale Steak? Whale Nuggets? Whale Soufflé? Whale Casserole? I don't suppose we have anyone with other helpful recipes...I mean I've never had whale meat before but I hear it's blubber is supposed to be handy right? I'm just saying winter is coming up guys and it's going to be a bitch...why not take that whale as a humble gift and carve the hell out of it for future food. Oh, or you know, use the bones for making more old school weapons. We can be resourceful like Eskimos or something (they use whales right?).

So, question, where's a good place to find dorky little birthday cards and such...a good friend of mine's birthday is coming up and while he doesn't like to make a big deal about it I think he's an ass and should learn to celebrate another year of not getting maimed in an idiotic manner.

Oh, and for those who don't know that idotic friend is HARRY DRESDEN and his birthday is actually on Halloween...so let's all embarrass the heck out of him, shall we?

Well thanks for all your help and I've found some old friends of mine to...crash with I guess you could say. I've lived with Harry before but thankfully this space is a LOT bigger, hell technically I have my own space we're just in the same building...which could be beneficial or a pain in the ass.

We have quite a collection of characters in this building from what I've seen though I haven't actually gotten close to any of them really...it seems a good majority of them are busy with patrols or something. Personally I think I'll try to avoid the crabs if I can...though I've picked up a few toys to keep them at bay should the need arise.

And speaking of those characters...I've seen Harry spending a considerable amount of time with a certain blond woman who lives next door to him...I believe her name was Riza...someone care to give me the scoop on that because last I saw Harry he was very much the opposite of a lady's man if you know what I mean.

That said I'm going out now for some more...as well as rescuing a little fairy who I believe is a tad lost. Harry, don't get killed while I'm out.

I know I don’t watch a lot of news lately but the last time I heard Manhattan wasn’t suffering from collapsed buildings syndrome. The things that could do this would never do it in a place like this…at least I don’t think so. I mean Harry might level a building or two on accident but this whole city block is kind of overdoing it even for someone who may or may not be compensating for something.

Speaking of…what the hell am I doing in Manhattan anyway…I mean if someone abducted me and brought me here they are doing a pretty lousy job of keeping me quiet…I have access to this computer for crying out loud…though I seem to be lacking my cell phone or…anything else that’s very useful.

At least I...ate before I got here...something tells me getting a job here is going to be even harder than it was back in Chicago...

So, hello, whoever may be out there...this is Thomas...and a beer sounds really great right about now...or a friendly face...I do so hate to be lonely.
