Why's that?

Because the day seems to always need saving and your friendly neighborhood wizard isn't up to it this year.

Hm. That I can understand. So what are your plans if you don't mind me asking?

Don't have any, though maybe I should.

Staying in can be fun. Or going to a pub.

Or you could go to a party.

I'm a stay in kind of guy.

Actually, let me amend that, I'm a stay in kind of guy till someone or something drags me out kicking and screaming.

Ah, then I suggest you grab a good book or film and hunker down for the night.

And also possibly add extra wards to your door?

As much as I huff and puff otherwise, I don't think I could actually do it. There's too much potential for something to go awry.

Ahhh, the Reluctant Hero type. You're That Guy then.

*smiles*

I hope it's not too terribly crazy then for you.

Not just reluctant, the most reluctant.

*His grimace gets a bit less grimacey* Thanks, I hope so too.

Yeah, but you always manage to pull through somehow. Even if it defies all laws of nature and physics.

Best of luck in your endeavor there.

Really? Birthday plans?

No, I'm just letting any crisis that plan to happen know that I plan on indigently staying in bed this year.

That sounds almost like you've decided to suddenly go lazypants, Dresden.

The magician can't do everything, sometimes he has to lean on his lovely assistant.

Huh. Juggling terminology at me all of sudden?

What's down, Harry?

Did I ever explain to you that he barrier between this world and the Nevernever is weakening?

I think you may have mentioned it.

Well I figure if something is going to go wrong it will likely go wrong on Halloween.

In other words, something's likely to happen, but you'll wait at home for it to come and find you. Or somebody to know where to get to you in case of trouble.

Very sweet.

I'm thoughtful that way.

How bout you, Murph? Plans with Kincaid?

Mmmhm. You know I'll be sure to check on you. If you're right and stuff starts happening. As per usual.

Nothing so far. Haven't heard from him for a bit. Haven't called either.

Did the SI get it's "How long will it take Murphy to call the wizard on Halloween" betting pool together yet?

How bout a beer or two then when your shift is over? Hell, we could even make it festive by wearing costumes. I'll be a wizard and you can be Princess Leia. (http://www.tvguide.com/images/pgimg/healthiest-yvonne-strahovski1.jpg)

Maybe. Wanna place a bet yourself?

Hmm maybe. Although I think that even with the fireplace lit, I'd freeze if I showed up in that. There's snow out East already, and though the forecast doesn't say it'll come this way... You never know.

Put me down for the witching hour.

*snorts* The one between the day before and Halloween, or the one on the flip side?

Day of. I'm picturing a quiet Devil's Night, but that might just be wishful thinking.

Hey, I'd take a quiet night before if it comes this way!

Do I swing by Mac's for supplies before I show up?

If you wouldn't mind. The icebox is almost empty.

Got it.

You'll call if something shows up to you too, right?

The moment I get a chance.

*snorts* True enough. Okay.

Funny, I'm setting up shop.

Alright, I'll bite, what kind of a business does one set up on Halloween?

*looks around this way and that first*

Ok, my bake shop. Just tricking it out to give treats to kids of all ages ~~and tricks to the jerks of all ages~~ .

I thought they told parents these days not to let their kids have baked goods on Halloween?

Ah, baked goods straight from a licensed shop?

Never fear, it's allll kosher. *sage nod*
