[It's Charlie, frowning at pretty much the world. It's not her typical frown, this one seems a bit more confused and hurt than her usual scowl. And it's not accidental video for once. She speaks, her tone calm but exasperated. And an underlying hint of anxiousness.]

This is ridiculous. I have work to do. I can't serve people tea if I can't get within five feet of them before something knocks them over. [She goes quiet, closing her eyes and pinching the bridge of her nose before running her fingers through her hair.]

Toph and anyone else working the tea shop, apparently I have several feet of semi-invisible and completely impenetrable bubble or something around me. I don't think it'd be wise for me to come in. I keep knocking people over. I'd apologize, but this is a curse. It'll be over by midnight and I'll work a double tomorrow.

[And the feed shuts off, but not before Charlie scoffs, shakes her head and mutters 'ridiculous'.]

It happened to you as well? [He's a little saddened by the barriers, even if he doesn't touch others often, this just highlights that fact for him.]

Oh, Ken. [Of all the people to curse.] You okay?

Video:

[oceantrauma]

Yes. [Thankfully, Wormmon's not there, as he wouldn't be able to carry him.] It's just...a strange curse, that's all.

Are you?

[charring]

Yep. Unfortunately. It's driving me nuts.

How big are they? People can't even walk anywhere near me.

Re: Video:

I think it varies. Mine keeps people beyond arms length by a few feet. What about you?

Video:

[oceantrauma]

Not as far, but definitely a little further than arm's length. [He hasn't really tested it out. He doesn't want to.]

These types of curses only last one day, right?

[charring]

Just for a day. [If it lasts longer than that, Charlie's blaming Peter Vincent for jinxing things. Something catches her attention and she looks above herself for a moment before looking at Ken.]

You want to see something funny?

[And the camera turns up to point at Petrichor who has figured out how to stay on the bubble. It sorta looks like the cat is hovering.] Say hi, Ken! Petrichor is purring. I think he's having fun.

[Just a day? Well, then Ken can deal with it.]

Huh?

[He watches as the device points up, then gives a smile.]

How did he even get up there?
