[The video turns on to show Harry sitting behind a desk. The office, honestly, looks pretty standard, though Inesa may recognize the glass orb she got him for Christmas sitting on his desk.

There also seems to be a very large, brown, shaggy carpet just off to the side, breathing deeply.]

Hey, everybody. If you don't know me, I'm Harry Dresden, and I'm a wizard. If you need one, professionally, or something found, it's kind of a specialty of mine. Come on down. I also do consulting and advice for those interested in the craft.

[And that is the point the carpet off to the side stands and moves to his side. Harry is not a small man, not by many means, but the dog that moves to his side has a head that fully fills his lap when he begs for pets.]

And...this is Mouse. Who...just showed up. He likes coke almost as much as he likes ear scratches. Say hi, Mouse.

[The massive dog chuffs, but doesn't bark and Harry smiles, because damn if he didn't miss his walking carpet.]

Anyway, come down to see us at my office if you need us for anything.

[He includes the address before closing the feed.]

[She is so excited to see the orb sitting on his desk.]

Hello Mouse!

[Inesa loves animals.]

I am glad to see that you have some company here. Are you settling in alright? I see you've opened a business, I hope it goes well. Should you need help, please let me know.

[The Foo dog's tail worked at her greeting.]

I think I'll be okay, but thanks for the offer. If I need a suit, I'll know where to go.

[unknownmoirai]

You or Mouse.

[She grins.]

I often make little out fits for those who have pets. Lancelot is wearing his wedding attire now. [She moves and a moment later he can see her holding up the fluffiest white bunny ever, with a top hat and a little black vest on.] He hasn't eaten this one yet.

[harrythelizard]

[He laughs at that, looking over to Mouse.]

What do you think? A nice suit?

[The dog's flat expression is answer enough.]

I don't think he's impressed.

Video;

[unknownmoirai]

He doesn't seem like it, no.

I suppose I shouldn't make him but perhaps a lovely collar for him. I could think of something. [She wants to welcome Mouse to the Sphere.]

Voice un: defrag

[blindpuppet]

[She sounds grumpy but Harry will at least recognize the voice.]

I have your silver ring. Come pick it up and if you can find the SD card that the fucking elf stole. It doesn't have to be useable but I don't want copies made and I don't want that damn elf to have it.

[Enis is very pissed and since Harry seems to know more about it, she's going to ask him to lend a hand.]

Voice;

[harrythelizard]

Hey, Enis! Yeah, yeah, I'm good. How's the folks?

[A beat.]

You wouldn't happen to have anything this SD card was connected to, would you, or...how important is it to you?

Voice;

[blindpuppet]

The folks?

[Her brow furrows. She has no idea what that is supposed to mean.]

It was connected to my laptop and yes it is important to me. Well, not the SD card but the data on it. [A beat.] It's music that I composed. I don't want it in someone else's hands.

Re: Voice;

[harrythelizard]

It ruins the joke if I have to explain it.

That might be a good enough connection. Mind if I borrow a hair or two as long as I solemnly swear I'm not up to no good?

Voice;

[blindpuppet]

Can you call it a joke if no one gets it?

[It's probably just her but Enis lives to be difficult.]

A hair? [This makes her uncomfortable but after a moment she nods.] Sure. I can spare that but I want your word that you'll only use it for finding my SD card.

[gadaboutdetective]

Harry, it’s good to see you got your office set up. Congratulations!

[He offered a small smile, it was good to see the man was doing alright after the whole... elf situation.

He’d actually been meaning to get in touch with the man, but things had been rather hectic... Then the Sphere had scrambled his brain a bit and he spent a few days in a dark room.]

I’ll have to stop by with an uh— office warming gift.

[Mandatory, Harry. Sorry.

And he was going to congratulate him on the dog too, but oops his brain got caught up on something.]

Wait— you let your dog have coke? Is that... smart?

Video

[harrythelizard]

[He smiles at the familiar face.]

Hey, Watts, and thanks. It's...nice to have a desk again, if that makes any sense.

[It doesn't feel anything like home, and he's still got a lot of work to do to get a lab going in the back, but it's a start.]

Heey...Mouse is the picture of health, isn't that right, buddy?

[gadaboutdetective]

Yes, even if one doesn’t use a desk overly much, it’s nice to have an uh— base of operations, right?

[At least that’s what he’d found, a place to put the most important mess of papers more or less.

Llewellyn was still rather confused... but he had to agree on the topic of Mouse’s health.]

I have to admit, he does look quite healthy... and large compared to a ‘mouse,’ I’m not sure I’ve seen such a large dog before.

[harrythelizard]

Yeah, and a place to set up shop, you know, for all the wizard stuff. Any self-respecting practitioner has a lab.

[He does nod at that.]

Mouse is...uh...a Temple dog. I'm not really sure his breed but "large" is putting it lightly.

[gadaboutdetective]

Mm... I suppose you wouldn’t want to set magical things up just anywhere. Certainly not in a public place.

[Not when there were people, like himself, that tended to fiddle and fuss with things that looked interesting.]

A Temple dog? [Colour the detective more curious now,] So... does that mean Mouse is a magic dog?

Voice: Ben.Solo

[havethestrength]

He looks like Anakin.

Voice;

[harrythelizard]

[Pre or post Vader?]

Yeah?

Re: Voice;

[havethestrength]

[Ben offers a mental image of the Anakin in question.]

Are they supposed to look the same?

[Meet Ben, a man who is still coming to grips with the idea of dog.]

Re: Voice;

[harrythelizard]

Well...they're both dogs. It's sort of hard for them to not look similar.

I know people will argue that chihuahuas are also dogs, but I'm not sold on that idea.

Re: Voice;

[havethestrength]

Chihuahuas? I'm afraid I don't know much about these animals.

[unpawnish]

Is Mouse related to a Wookie?

[harrythelizard]

[He laughs.]

Aren't there other furry things in your universe?

[unpawnish]

Yes of course! But there's something about the eyes that make him feel like one. Or an Ewok perhaps. An intelligence there.

[harrythelizard]

Well, yeah. [He pats Mouse's very fluffy neck and his tongue lolls out happily. Yes, Rey, he's very intelligent and his human can be stupid, but he's his stupid human.] Mouse is a good dog.

[unpawnish]

Isn't a mouse a small rodent?
