[Charlie, looking a little annoyed and a little tired, has her back against a white wall. And she's surrounded by books. All of them recipe books. She's seated on a floor and she's thumbing through them and if anyone looks carefully, there's a hint of Petrichor's tail sticking out from her zipped up jacket.

Yes, she snuck her cat into the book-store. No, she has no fucks to give about it. She knows the device is on. It switched itself on a few minutes ago and she recognized the little red light for what it was. She just had nothing important to say until now. Her tone is flat and she hardly spares the camera a glance. It's all books right now for her, anyway.]

Everyone survive yesterday alright?

What happened yesterday?

voice;

[charring]

Nothing. [WAY TOO QUICK TO ANSWER, CHARLIE! WAY TOO QUICK!] Just...a Curse and people were...cursed and doing things.

voice;

[minigolfandsushi]

[Don't think he misses that fluster.]


Doing things. [His voice drips with innuendo.] REALLY.

voice;

[charring]

Yes. [Please don't ask. Please don't ask. Please don't ask. Oh, God. City if you love her at all...]

voice;

[minigolfandsushi]

[Sorry, Charlie, wrong universe.]

And who exactly were you doing?

1 of a few. Please hold on.

[charring]

[FUCK YOU CITY FUCK YOU.]

2 of still a couple more.

[charring]

[Seriously, City.]

3 of still going.

[charring]

It's really none of your---

4 of....ok last one

[charring]

Okay fine but if you think about it, it was either that or let him roam around the City, eating everyone.

[child_radical]

I haven't seen any body parts lying around so I'm guessing that people survived mostly intact.

[ she sees that tail, charlie! ]

I was wondering where he ran off to.

[Petrichor knows that voice! There's a muffled mew, some squirming and a faint 'ow' from Charlie before the cat's head peeks out and looks at the device. Hello, Liz! Charlie gives him a moment before tucking him back down, smiling briefly.]

He won't leave me alone. Any time I leave, he tries to follow. Not that I mind.

[charring]

So all in all, a good curse day.

[mrbackwards]

What was the curse?

video;

[charring]

As far as I can tell? People lacked self control.

Hi, Curtis.

video;

[mrbackwards]

For everything?

[ Small smile. ]

Hi, Charlie. Sorry 'bout that.

video;

[charring]

Yep. Everything. [A small smile in return.] Don't be. It could have gone significantly worse than it did. Some of the curses around here are awful.

[mrbackwards]

I don't think I was affected, then. [ Which is a no, Curtis. No you were not. ]

I'm sorry I didn't greet you first; kind of rude. Did something happen with you during the curse?

video;

[charring]

Ah. Don't worry about it. Manners aren't exactly my forte most days so I didn't notice.

[AND THEN SHE TURNS RED! SO RED. Oh lord.] Well, I was at my boyfriends house when the curse started...

[Fuiuksdyflajshdfjk. God damn it. Subject change!] Settling in alright?

video;

[mrbackwards]

Well I'd like to keep them, at least. S'all right if you don't.

[ He laughs a little. It's nice to keep his mind a little distracted. ] You lost your self control around your boyfriend?

[child_radical]

For the most part, that is unless personal mortification isn't taken into account.

video;

[charring]

I'll try harder. You're making me feel ill-mannered. [She manages a laugh, a sheepish as hell look and an eye-roll, trying so hard to play it off.] Yeah. It was...interesting, to say the least. Though, considering my ability and my inability to care about a thing except for what I wanted to do yesterday, I think time with Ed is definitely the lesser of two evils.

[charring]

Mortification is just par for the course sometimes. We get cursed, some of us roll with it, some of us flail the next day [like she's doing] and then we continue on until the next idiotic event.

video;

[mrbackwards]

Don't let me make you feel like that.

[ His brows. They are going up. ] Were you going to blow the place up?

video;

[charring]

Right now, I want to say no but I think yesterday if it had been a thought, I might have? I dunno. We'll stick with no because that's a horrible thought otherwise.
