[Charlie had spent the weekend in a way that she'd rather forget. First, the scar on her arm had started bleeding again so her day was spent changing bandages before she ended up at the hospital to get it taken care of.

She thought it would be over by midnight but when midnight hit and the injury was still there, Charlie knew something was wrong.

By the time the sun had come up, she'd developed what she recognized as a case of blood poisoning.

Very funny, City. Very funny indeed.

This required a second trip to the hospital to get the problem under control and Charlie was released this morning once the doctors were sure it was really, truly gone.

So it's just audio today because she still feels terrible.

Rapunzel, employees of the Jasmine Dragon. You guys are on your own today which I apologize for. I just don't feel good and need an extra day off my feet. I promise, I'll be in tomorrow.

How was everyone else's weekend? Did everyone survive? Back to normal and all?

I missed any curses that might have occurred, thankfully. Did you fare well over those days?

[charring]

Not so much. I think the City was making up for me not getting hit with anything in a while.

[monochrome_mirror]

If you need assistance that others can't provide for whatever reason, I would be willing to help.

Otherwise, I wish you a quick recovery from the incident, whatever it might have been.

(she's not going to pry. these curses sound rather...personal, at times.)

[charring]

[It wasn't anything terrible. Just a nuisance. Actually, this is a lie. It was more than just her arm bleeding. And the sickness that came after. It was all of the shit tied to it.]

Thank you. That's very kind of you to offer.

[water_wine_wizard]

It was horrible.

[charring]

What happened? Do you need anything?

[water_wine_wizard]

I lost my magic! I couldn't ... It was... empty!

[charring]

I know how that is. It happened to me a while back.

[water_wine_wizard]

I mean.. with the fire... It was... weird... different... I knew how my father saw the world a little bit... but it wasn't... dead!

[charring]

You wanna come to the shop and talk about it?

[water_wine_wizard]

Yeah.

Sure.

[charring]

See you in a bit.

[water_wine_wizard]

[She shows up look like death warmed over and then dead again. Which really isn't like her at all.

She does manage a weak smile for Charlie though when she comes in.]

[charring]

Hey...oh. [Charlie is immediately all about making Laruna a cup of tea. Apple pie flavored. She holds it out to her once it's ready.]

My fire was entirely gone once. It was odd. It left me feeling empty and cold.

My weekend was nice. Didn't really do much.

[water_wine_wizard]

[She takes the tea gratefully and sits down.]

It was horrible! It was as if something important... got ripped from me and left a gaping bleeding hole.

[charring]

Yeah, the City seems to be a fan of leaving things gaping and bleeding. My arm...the scar on it? I spent the whole weekend dealing with that.

I might be jealous, Raikov. Just a tiny bit.

[water_wine_wizard]

I'd prefer that.

Obviously you should hang out with me on weekends. I don't get affected too often.
