Well, sure, I was just sitting on the roof. I mean, hey, it was a bit chilly, but I'm used to that. And I wasn't sure where I was, but hell, that's hardly any change.

The fact that I couldn't figure out how to get down was entirely irrelevant. I assure you. So there I sat, on the roof, scribbling in my journal.

The wings, it seems, didn't come off. Damn near fell off the roof figuring that out. They still throbbed.

The journal was an interesting thing, actually. It had my name on it. Apparently it updated to represent the journals other people used? I'd tried to look at it through the Sight. Luckily, the freezing cold was doing wonders staving off that headache.

I looked over the side again. Considered trying to climb. But, well, it was a rather tall building, and there weren't many handholds within reach. No. No, better to find some other method. So I'll just keep writing in that journal.

Hey. Don't know if there's some sort of etiquette to this... journal thing, or whatever it's called, but I have a question.

Where the hell am I, why do I have wings, and how did I get on top of this building without any clothing?

I don't think I was that drunk last night...

Oh no, it is something of a foolish practice, and I am not offended. Amused, a little, but not offended. It seems like an American word, though the practice is probably universal.

It is an American word. I'm an American.

And now you are a Lucetian, at least as much as the rest of us have become.

People keep going on about Luceti, but what is it? Is it some sort of alien planet, or a parallel reality, or a demesne of the Nevernever? A weird universe that only exists in my mind? What?

I have been led to believe it is the enclosure, the village that we live in and the area inside the barrier. As for the world, the reality, I do not know.

These Malnosso people sure aren't big believers in sharing information, are they?

Big Brother is Watching. That does not mean Big Brother likes to talk, yes?

Yeah, well tell Big Brother that Little Sister here says to kiss his ass. I'm good at finding things out.

You may have done so indirectly yourself, most anything discussed, written, or recorded in these is available for the Malnosso to see.

Oh. Well done, Harry.

Good. Saves me the trouble.

Try not to bring anything down on those that associate with you. I would rather not have more patients than necessary.

Oh, don't worry, I'm very good at making sure people who get pissed at me only mess with me.

And if all else fails, there's always shields.

I may regret asking but...

What is it you mean by shields? Literal, medieval shields, magical shields, Force shields...?

Oh. That. Uh...

Okay. This is going to sound a little bit psycho, but I swear it's true.

I'm kind of a wizard.

My best friend is a Jedi, and I live with a magician. Your being a wizard isn't the strangest thing I have heard here.

Well, that makes it easier to believe, then.

Yeah. Shield spells. And if I can find my bracelet, it makes my shield spells more effective.

Even with the power cap? There is something in the barrier here that muffles most people with supernatural abilities. In the aforementioned Jedi, it severed his connection to the Force for a month. I would take the time to see how much your abilities have been altered before picking fights.

I do not pick fights!

... Okay, maybe a little.

Also, what power cap?

And I do not believe you.

Are there any spells you know that are small, and com easily?

Fates preserve me from perceptive people.

Yes, but they all require some sort of focus or material target. None of which I have on hand at the moment.

Then there is no way to test it. A shame. But powers, supernatural especially, tend to be dampened somewhat in the village.

I'll keep it in mind. They thought of everything, didn't they?

Harry Dresden, by the way. Nice to meet you.

Do not most jailers tend to do so?

Doctor Adele LeBlanc, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Monsieur Dresden.

I'm not your average prisoner. It tends to be tough keeping me captive if I don't want to be captive.

You are not the first I've heard claim that, and you will not be the last.
