Sim -

For fuck's sake. I'm stuck in this place again?

[ and alisha is back from her canon update. yay. she is not too pleased, however. there's a loud sound in her head and whatever she does, it won't stop.

she's by the fountain. she's sitting, an elbow resting on her leg and the side of her head in her palm as she tries to make it stop. she's tapping her heels together in hopes of going back home. ]

Will someone turn down that fucking ticking?

( curse | tick tock, goes the clock )

[Charlie hears it, too, and is walking around with an expression of discomfort on her face. When she spots Alisha, she hurries over. Partly because maybe it'll help the ticking and partly because it's Alisha and Charlie missed having her around. She gives Alisha a small wave and a half smile, rubbing her ears slightly.]

Do you hear that, or is it just me? Also, hi! Good to see you again.

[action;]

[awkwards]

The ticking? Yeah. Feels like something's lodged in my brain.

[ she gives her a smile. despite being back, and hating this place, she's sure (if she actually remembered the city back home) she missed charlie. she's glad to see her, so that means a lot. ] Hey. Not quite sure if it's good to be back, but it's good to know you're still here. No offence.

[action;]

[charring]

Damn. [Another futile ear rub and a sigh. And then a smile.] Not offended at all. How was home?

[action;]

[awkwards]

Home. Pretty shit. But - [ she smiles. ] - better than this place.

I got a new power. [ and she's so excited, too! she remembers charlie being a pyrokinetic, and that she's one of the few people she told about her power (despite kind of broadcasting she had a shitty power). ]

[action;]

[charring]

Most places are better than here. [She says with a small smile. The smile quickly turns into a grin.] Really?! That's great!..that is great, right?

[action;]

[awkwards]

It's a bit pathetic, but ... You know that saying about walking a mile or whatever in someone else's shoes? That's kind of my power.

[ it is such a dumb power but yay for touching now! ]

[action;]

[charring]

Hey, that sounds significantly better and much more useful thank your previous one. I'm happy for you, Alisha.

[action;]

[awkwards]

[ these girly moments are things very uncommon for alisha, so she grins, holding nothing back. ]

Thanks.

Did I miss anything while I was gone?

[action;]

[charring]

[Don't hold back, Alisha. This is something to smile about.]

Two weeks curse silence. And a weekend of summer weather and Tony Stark had a gala at City Solutions. Nothing really major, though.

[action;]

[awkwards]

[ huh. she always misses out on the fun things. ]

Were you affected at all?

[action;]

[charring]

Kind of. My powers were gone for a day. I was born with my pyrokinesis so that was horrifying.

[action;]

[awkwards]

I would have liked that day. [ very much so. ]

Did it feel weird? Not having it?

[action;]

[charring]

It did. I felt cold. I don't typically feel cold. [And since it's safe to, Charlie holds her hand out.] I can guarantee I don't have a fever and just naturally burn hotter than most.

[action;]

[awkwards]

[ it's still weird that she can touch people, even though it's been a few months post-christmas and actually having the power. but she does hesitate for a few seconds, quite possibly not noticeable if someone wasn't looking, and she touches charlie's hand. ]

Fuck, you're hot! [ state the obvious, alisha. ] And that's normal for you?

Re: [action;]

[charring]

Yeah. Weird, right? Saves money during winter where I don't have to buy new clothes, but yeah. That's typical.

[action;]

[awkwards]

Jesus. That's - I've never really met anyone with that sort of power. [ it's kind of cool! ]

And if I have, they never felt like that before. I'd hate to have the opposite power to that.
