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!

Same difference.

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

Only one requires spells and the other doesn't.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Now you're splitting hairs, Harry.

Hah. Punny.

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

Says the man going bald in the back.

Very clever, doctor. But as for your other question, I love puzzles. Big, puzzling mysteries practically give me goosebumps.

[ooc: Strike is not hackable.]

I said interest not sexually attracted.

Methods of puzzle solving?

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

How disappointed that you went there. I keep hearing you're brilliant and witty and not predictable and unoriginal.

Usually it's just process of elimination based on various means of deduction and having a wider knowledge of the subject than most people.

Says the man who uses an insanity plea for tax evasion. Zing. If you're looking for entertainment there's a doctor who's telling kids about STIs out on the network. Looks like a barrel full of laughs.

Wider range of "wizard knowledge" am I right?

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

Hey, I pay taxes. If they're too afraid to audit me, that's on them.

I'd say supernatural knowledge in general.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

What a sad, sad place you must come from. Nevada? Alabama?

Riiight. That's helpful.

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

Chicago.

It is when you're dealing with the supernatural.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I knew it sucked but I didn't know it sucked that much. No wonder the Bulls tanked after Michael Jordon.

Because that happens all the time. Oh wait.

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

Not every team can be USC or the Yankees, unfortunately.

I bet it happens a lot more than weird diseases.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Especially if it is basketball.

Now you're making assumptions.

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

Doctor's who live in glass houses shouldn't be hypocritical.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

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

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

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

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

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.
