I didn't hurt him!  I constantly monitored his sanity-state.  Though perhaps it had more of an effect on him than I had suspected.  He was very open with sekrit Dresden stuffs over lunch. :D

You know, I *thought* about planting a listening device in your purse, and was too honest to do so ;)

And you will be spilling said "sekrit" Dresden stuffs to the rest of us, correct? Please.

Sorry to disappoint.  Though some of it should come out before too long--concepts for upcoming short stories, etc.  Other stuff, however, will take longer.  Let's just say I will no longer be participating in the "Who is Kumori?" threads. :D

I wondered why you were so emphatic that I should borrow your pen!  Treachery!

The pen was just a decoy, m'dear.

Ok, so we need a large pot...a lot of chocolate, and some firewood.  Oh, and don't forget the matches.
Maybe some rope...to hold the pot over the flame.
Going for the biggest chocolate fondue ever here.
Well believe me, Mike, I calculated the odds of this succeeding versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid... and I went ahead anyway.

You've seen it!  You can't unsee it!

You can't get information out of me if I'm dead!  Also, who will keep the site updated and do cute podcasts and such for you?

You are the one who has brought up death. Twice. No one else has said a thing. (Whistles)

(I have one of those big blue spotted canning pots, is that large enough? Or are we talking Cauldron size?)
Tinkerbell's probably some flesh-eating Willowisp.

Just don't drown, then!  Only needs to be around 80 or 90 for most chocolates.   :P

Sue & I were talking about taking you out some evening or weekend anyway - pick your favorite dessert spot.

Oh, yeah!  I keep forgetting you two are New Yorkers!  I'd love to hook up with you again sometime. 

My good friend Jimmy is bartender at a fantastic French restaurant in midtown.  Their desserts are OH MY GOD AMAZING.  Or, we could do a more casual ice cream or gelato run.  I could take you to California Pizza Kitchen beforehand. :D

Death by chocolate.

Have I ever mentioned that I live about 45 minutes from Hershey PA? 

We could hold the torture there!  The whole town smells like chocolate!  She would be powerless to resist!

(otherwise, we can take her on the roller coasters in Hershey Park until she pukes, and gives up her Dresden Secrets...)

Surprised no ones thought of Chinese Water Torture.  Only instead of water you use chocolate.
Patience is a virtue, patience is a virtue, PATIENCE IS A F***ING VIRTUE.  There, now I might be able to follow it.

Sue's New Jersey Italian. I can't be held responsible for what she'll do if you try to take us to CPK. Haven't you learned that by now? ;D

What's the name of the restaurant? Is it the one that's dessert-only (or close to it) with $$$ listed as the cost for *A* dessert? As much of a skinflint as I am, I see that as a challenge LOL!
