[The video starts with a close up on Gamagori's face, glaring into the camera. He says nothing for a while, but when he does speak, it's loud enough you could probably mute the feed and still hear him fine.]

Whoever brought me here had better show themselves now! I cannot be away from Honnouji Academy, the Naturals Election is starting tomorrow, and I will not allow Lady Satsuki's faith in me to be broken! Show yourself, and I will not kill you. Prolong this, and I assure you, you will be begging for death by the time I'm done disciplining you!

Ouch. Anybody I know?

[murph]

Oh, pretty well.

[no_love_potions]

[**Click**]

Heeeey, wait a minute.

[murph]

Jesus Harry, that took you long enough.

[But there is laughter, so much laughter.]

[no_love_potions]

[There may be a chuckle or two over here as well.]

It's been a long week, okay?

[murph]

Yeah, and you still owe me a drink. Man life has to suck for you.

[Your getting all the side eye Harry, all of it.]

[no_love_potions]

[Not the side eye. Anything but that.]

How about a New Year's party? May not be the best time, but it could be a chance to get a feel for the people around here.

[Yes, that is how Harry Dresden asks if you want to go a fancy party with him. What did you expect?]

[murph]

[Oh yes side eye, and a raised brow to go with it.]

So is this like a party or a stakeout?

[Honestly, after all these years it really is a fair question you know.]

[no_love_potions]

Like a party. These are good people.

[No argument there.]

[murph]

I don't suppose this is the kind of party that I can show up to in jeans?

[no_love_potions]

I asked the same thing, and they said no.

[Fortunately, somebody bought him a tux.]

[murph]

So I get dumped here, fight some big beast thing and now i get to go shopping, talk about a dream weekend.

[no_love_potions]

Yeah, we always have the most fun together, huh?


[OOC: Should warn you, Harry's currently running late because he had a fight with a werewolf and then ended up picking up the Ice King. Them enough?]

[murph]

Any more fun and it would be criminal.

Come to think of it most of our fun was borderline criminal.

[OOC: it's to be expected with Harry, Murph is already there and found the bar.]

[no_love_potions]

Only borderline?



[OOC: Gah. Well, look at me being so far behind. I'll get into that post one day, I swear, if it's the last thing i do!]

[murph]

I always had my feet clearly on the side of law, if only on the line; I had to. But I admit to be willfully blind from time to time.

[no_love_potions]

[That gets a little laugh from him but when he talks, his voice is quiet.]

And I appreciate it every time.

Seriously.

[murph]

It's what you do for... friends.

[Because they were, that had been a constant, maybe they could be more one day. They'd been about to find out before things went, well the way they did. This place was different though, if they were going to be stuck here a while there was a chance, a possibility of a chance.]

So party dress, this will be fun. But no laughing or I break your arm!

[no_love_potions]

Yeah. Friends.

[That... sucked to say, but there was no changing the truth of it. Maybe, there had been a chance and maybe there still was a chance but no matter what happened that was one thing that would never change.]

So, I'll see you there?

[Wait. Did she say dress? Nah. He must have heard wrong or something.]

[murph]

Yeah, you better show up this time.

[Or at least don't go to such lengths to stand her up again.]

[no_love_potions]

[Wince. Yeah. He was going to be there.]

I'll be there. Scout's honor.

[murph]

Ha! You were never a boy scout, thrifty, clean, always prepared...
