[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'.]

[Do we really want the feels to go, though?]

True. [A pause, a faint blush across her face and another small snort of amusement.]

I robbed a bookstore here once.

[Well no but HUSH.]

...Dude. Seriously?

[He is mildly impressed. ...Only mildly though.]

[charring]

I swear. I was cursed to rob a book store. The cafe of my favorite book store, to be specific. It did not go well.

[She's grinning as she remembers, shrugging slightly.] I had a partner who is normally very loud and crude and he was cursed to mumble and act nervous and the robbery didn't go well. At all.

[socoolbrewster]

Who the hell robs a book store though? That's like...really random.

It was a curse. I fried one of their cameras before actually trying to hold the place up. [She pauses, rolls her eyes slightly before continuing;] I was dressed like an idiot, too.
