audio/accidental video:

[It's audio for a reason. She sounds annoyed and there are sounds of things being picked up and set down and faint hissing sounds from her. Sharp intakes of breath through teeth indicating something hurt. Or probably hurts.]


..ow. Son of a...Okay. Yesterday? Didn't this happen during October? That whole cannibal thing? [Another muttered swear or two and the sound of fabric or something tearing.]

To the people I set fire to, you only get half an apology. You were cursed, yes, but while cursed you tried to eat me. It was purely self defense. [Which means at most, it'd feel like a bad sunburn and there were people missing eyebrows. There's more sounds. More things being moved, plastic bottles thinking together and a metal box opening and shutting. Phantom and Petrichor start arguing in the background and Charlie huffs in exasperation.]


...Rapunzel. Pie jars for that B you didn't actually get. I still want to do this and I found information on lanterns. You still in? [The arguing animals stop and Charlie resumes whatever it was she was doing. Something bumps the device and there is a good shot of Charlie's right arm. It's bandaged in spots, bruised in others. All injuries in the shape of bites. Charlie notices this and the feed switches off.

Charlie? Should I bring the dermal regenerator over?
candothat: (Concentrating)

Of course. Yesterday did not go well for you?
candothat: (A good officer)

I hope that it will not repeat itself; I would rather you stay uneaten.
candothat: (Smile: Whatcha gonna do)

Yes, and I didn't leave my room once I knew what was happening. That was cowardly, maybe.
candothat: (Serious: Wery)

Did you get him back?
candothat: (Ensign)

They are worried.

[And he's knocking at Charlie's door.]
candothat: (Baffled: What you are saying is...)

[personal profile] candothat 2012-05-26 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Charlie, hello. That is very generous of you.

[He fiddles with the small, boxy device he's carrying, in part to avoid looking at Charlie. She looks thoroughly gnawed on.]
candothat: (Serious: Earnest)

[The other guys are probably still hiding...]

This? No, but I did modify it. May I see your arm, please?
candothat: (Smile: Small)

[Even if there aren't missing pieces, being bitten that hard--not to mention being chased by cannibals--couldn't have been fun.]

Thank you, and I am a genius. [Said in a matter-of-fact tone.] I believe this is expected of me.

[He holds the device over the worst of the injuries and pushes a button. Her skin knits itself back together and the bruises fade from purples and blacks to pale greens.]
candothat: (Smile: Lopsided)

[It's always good to see Charlie smile.]

It isn't a problem, and this is better than a first aid kit. Much quicker. I have no patience for healing naturally.
candothat: (A good officer)

[personal profile] candothat 2012-05-26 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Very spoiled, yes.

[sternly] Do not make it so I need to come over and fix you again.
candothat: (Smile: Whatcha gonna do)

[personal profile] candothat 2012-05-26 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I can accept that, I suppose.
