accidental video:

[charring]

[For anyone that's in the Glass City, this will come off static-y as hell. Images will distort, freeze and audio will come off wrong. Words will be missing and cut off at the wrong times. But it is clearly Charlie and Ed in a van, checking over blankets secured over windows. Ed's checking it frequently and Charlie's swatting his hands away.]

Would you stop that?! [It's Charlie. She sounds exasperated. She gets an annoyed look from Ed, a look that does fuck-all to hide the worry.] You keep checking it and it'll end up falling. Leave it be.

How do I know you even bothered to secure it right to begin with? [Ed. Still sounding annoyed.]

You could try trusting me, you know.


You---I don't want to. [There's the sound of a metal door creaking open, a hiss and video of Ed flinching away from a small shaft of sunlight and Charlie speaks again, picking up her device. The door slams and Charlie notices the device is running.]

Any explanation for what's going on, here?

(ooc: Red = Evil Ed. Black for Charlie. This is before she and Evil find the rest of the caravan of magic and ineptitude BUT SHE WILL FIND THEM! after she and ed raid a few buildings and flirt argue more.]

Oh gee, thanks for the permission, mother.

[Momentary face of mockery, and then back to brooding. Slurp slurp slurp.

For the record, he REALLY dislikes being the damsel.

He won't leave, though. He may go out to try to find something to eat, but he'll be back before sunup.]

[She just shot him a look before pinching the bridge of her nose for a moment. This was going to be a very long curse, wasn't it? She sighed and stood, climbing into the front seat carefully. There was a blanket there, keeping the sun from the back entirely and the temperature difference made Charlie gasp.]

We have people to pick up. Hang on. [There's a rumble from the van, a few of them in fact before the god damn thing starts. Charlie breathes a sigh of relief before pulling away from the building.]

Hey, what happened to Petrichor? Hypnos vanished. [God, please don't let Hypnos be a pile of sand somewhere. Or Petrichor.]

Dunno, woke up and he wasn't around. Cats are on a different wavelength, probably took off for somewhere better off once he realized things here were fucked.

What is this, Marvel Team-Up or something?

[charring]

It's survival. [Plain and simple.] The more people around, the more variety in skills. The better everyone's odds.

[Why no, she doesn't sound uncomfortable with this at all. What are you talking about?]

So it's a zombie movie, basically.

As long as we've got a sniper I've got no problem with it.

Do you even know where you're going?
