4 [audio/action friendly]

[othersdie]

[All Justin had wanted was lunch. Unfortunately, the café seems to have embraced a clothing-optional philosophy... along with the rest of the City. So much for lunch or, for that matter, ever leaving the apartment again once he gets there.]

There's a... a curse today, I assume. If you're not affected and you haven't been out today--if you haven't seen anything yet--just stay at home.

Don't check the network, either.


[ooc: Decidedly not cursed. Mortify at will, action as you like if your character is in the vicinity of Café Juliet or just running around outside.]

[The clothing optional thing is what has Charlie returning to Cafe Juliet for a snack. She gives Justin a wave and a huge grin as she walks past.] Hey!

action:

[othersdie]

[Don't mind Justin as he drops his network device and completely fails to make an immediately coherent verbal response happen.]

Ch-Charlie.

Re: action:

[It's been happening all day. She just sort of smiles, isn't it?]

Nice day, isn't it? This is seriously the best weather we've had in ages, regardless of the sand.

[mightbeconcussed]

Are you kidding? This is the best day ever

[And she's not cursed]

[othersdie]

Maybe if you're cursed.

[Oh, right. Like someone can be uncursed and like people running around in their scanties.]

[mightbeconcussed]

Hello. Not cursed.

[She turns the video to show herself dressed normally. Sort of sexy but definitely normal for Lucy.]

action you say?

[dignity_misery]

[Carla does not need to be cursed to be entirely confident in sex appeal. Unfortunately, however, she doesn't find all this excessive preening that's going on around her to be particularly charming. She just wants to get back to her apartment, and some unfortunate sexy gentleman is making it difficult. Violence is always the answer, and she is very sorry if that shirtless meathead goes stumbling into you, Justin. Sort of. Except not really.]

that's action, there

[othersdie]

[Fortunately, Justin has had enough bully-related high school experience to avoid getting smashed by aforementioned shirtless meathead. He isn't all that surprised to see that Carla was apparently the cause of the man's momentum.]

Is he bothering you?

[This is said because Justin has resumed his work with the police and feels obligated to say such things, not because he could do anything about it.]

oh my.

[dignity_misery]

Not anymore. If he wants to keep his teeth.

[She's already hit him once, and this is troublesome to the unnaturally induced vanity. Teeth certainly helped with the sexy look... Carla sees him hesitate in his ridiculous damn sexiness and rolls her eyes. Tells her delightful NPC to fuck off, and he scoots to find someone more open to his assets.]

[shall_yield_us]

Oh, poorly done, fair knight: you're tardy fending for my virtue.

[othersdie]

Sorry. [Not really.] I'm sure your virtue isn't in any danger.

trolololololo...

[dulcisnuntius]

[What's this? An entirely naked pink-haired chick with wings in line behind you at Cafe Juliet?]

Hi!

<3

[othersdie]

[The pink hair and the wings would be enough to warrant a double-take. The lack of clothing... well. Justin briefly alternates between blushing furiously and looking as if he's on the verge of fainting before averting his eyes.

Not that there's a safe place to look right now.]

Hi.

[One-syllable words: mastered.]

[signatures]

If only this word of caution had been here hours ago.

[othersdie]

It would have been if I hadn't gotten to the office to early.

[likeboudica]

It is sound advise, though sadly hard to find without checking the network.

[othersdie]

That's the worst thing about attempting to place public service announcements on the network. I hope you haven't seen too much.

[archivy]

I wish I could heed this advise.

[othersdie]

Why can't you?

[Child, you must not look at the network today.]

[beifongbandit]

I kinda like how confident everyone's being.

[ She's not sure what comes with that confidence, but whatever. ]

audio;

[othersdie]

The confidence isn't the problem. It's... all of the rest of it.

voice;

[intheblanks]

It's possible this should have been a mail out.

[He's cursed, to a degree. Don't worry, Justin, you don't have to be afflicted by the sight.]

voice;

[othersdie]

If I had thought it was possible, it would have been.

[Chase gets points.]

[action, because it's the wrong thing and I always do the wrong thing]

[deadly_legacy]

[And then suddenly there was a wild Euphie behind him wearing something a little unusual. It cuts just low enough to be safe if there is no bending and the top hangs in place in ways science can only dream of studying. The color is black which sets off her vibrant pink hair and pale skin nicely, but it's not a color she ever wears so much of.]

Justin! I was hoping I would see you today.

[action, because it's actually the RIGHT thing]

[othersdie]

[Wow. That dress doesn't look like it would hold up to any kind of motion and, as horrified as he is, Justin wouldn't be able to deny that Euphie looks good. Really good. Which is why he's not going to look at her.]

You did? ...And hi. Hello.
