053. Diagnosis

[vicodincrutch]

Milkshakes. Yum. Not so good though without greasy fries to dip. Beggars can't be choosers though I really hate to have to walk all the way to the nearest B rank establishment do get what I want. Whatever happened to one stop eating? I think it went the same place as Eden.

Speaking of which. Cops? You don't do much right? Here. Call an Amber Alert.

MISSING ANGRY IRISH MIDGET
Name: Eden Mac Cionaoith
Height: short
Weight: easy enough to toss and carry
Answers to: "Lucky", "Hey You", "Speak Slowly So I Can Understand You"
Last seen: In the company of a suspicious man of Middle Eastern descent. He's got a kind of perversion as you can see.
 

In the meantime... What do any of you do for a living? Enough of you sit around and worry about people. Who likes puzzles? And when I say puzzles I'm not talking about put these things together and make Scooby Doo. I mean, let's solve ourselves a mystery. Jinkies!

It's a hospital and I don't live in it.

Then it's probably not what I was referring to, is it?

Do you know what fibromyalgia is?

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

Guessing from the name... something about muscle fiber pain.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

That's it? Nothing else?

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

Not off the top of my head, no. But if you're really stumped I can check the encyclopedia or ask a doctor.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I already know. Thanks for playing, Dresden. Good thing you have something to fall back on, right?

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

And I'm sure you know all about thaumaturgy, right?

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Who does honestly? With that sort of thing it's like trying to find out which diet is the one.

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

The wit to cover up the ignorance. I'm sure that inspires so much confidence.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

It would if I marched around with a stick saying I'm a magician. I don't. I limp and say I'm a doctor.

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

And I don't claim to be a doctor. We can each stick to being what we are and be special snowflakes that way.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

So much for a merger. Etymology is useful however.

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

Hooray Latin.

So I take it you're one of the people that so adamantly refuses to believe in magic that nothing could prove its existence to them?

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I've seen enough to know it exists. Do I think it is useful 24/7? No. I think that there are better methods and solutions. A lot of which that may surprisingly last longer. I don't think that problems solve with a tap of a wand.

Of course not. Magic is a tool just like anything else. Anyone who uses it to do something like get dressed in the morning is ridiculous and just lazy. Sometimes it's the best tool for the job, sometimes it's not.
