[The device suddenly clicks on, and it seems to be broadcasting from the floor, showing the side of a desk. Several feet of bubble appear before we finally see anything of Percy, who is encased in a bubble that extends several feet in each direction. He reaches down and makes a grab for the phone, scowling in frustration, before he finally manages to grab it. When he realizes it's on, he scowls harder.]

This is most inconvenient.

[And then he ends the connection.]

You, too?

I'm afraid so. I hope yours hasn't been as inconvenient as mine.

I'm debating not going to work. Can't serve tea if I can't get within five feet of people. So...yeah. Pretty inconvenient.

It has made getting anything done immensely difficult, not to mention making me a danger to my immediate surroundings.

[boutant]

It looks that way.

[ Ariadne's in the doorway, just out of bubble-range, and holding a cup of coffee. ]

[aperfectthird]

You're not affected?

[And there is a definite undertone of lucky there. He also might be staring somewhat longingly at her coffee, because someone knocked over half the coffee shop this morning trying to get his, and though he was able to fix most of the damage with magic ... he's too mortified to go back anytime soon.]

[boutant]

No, luckily.

[ Everyone affected by it in engineering has to stay away from the equipment, in case they get injured -- if no one can touch them, no one can help them. Still, Ariadne notices Percy staring at her coffee, and she glances down at it for a moment before looking back up at him. ]

Do you want me to go get you one?

action;

[aperfectthird]

Would you mind? I can't trust myself around anything fragile.

action;

[boutant]

I wouldn't offer if I did. What do you want?

action;

[aperfectthird]

Black. The largest you can get. Hold on, I'll give you mo -

[...and he's got his wallet out, cash halfway out before he remembers...]

...may I pay you back tomorrow?

[ironmanic]

But mostly fun to watch if you're not cursed.

[aperfectthird]

It is, however, immensely inefficient in regards to getting anything done.

[ironmanic]

Bounce around- have some fun. You look like you could use it.

[aperfectthird]

I'd rather not run the risk of damage to the office.

[ironmanic]

That's what money's for.

It'll be convenient when you get run down by a unicorn.

[aperfectthird]

'When?'

[signatures]

It happens.

OH GOD i'm so sorry i thought i had responded to this

[aperfectthird]

Often enough to warn for it?

haha no problem!

[signatures]

Once is enough, as far as I'm concerned, when it comes to unicorns.

...hi i never saw this post forgive me ;A;

[hexuality]

Overdid that Bubble-Head Charm, didn't you, Perce? Were you preparing to clean the twins' room or something?

Come to think of it, that would be a useful application for this curse. Merlin help me if I went in unprepared.

[hexuality]

I don't think you're allowed in their room.

[aperfectthird]

I certainly would like to see them stop me whilst I am in this.

[hexuality]

I hope they were around to hear that. They do like their challenges.

[Pause.]

I wonder what this bubble thing's all about, though. How big your ego is, maybe?
