audio to video:

[At first, there's nothing to be heard but Charlie's voice, muffled. And a purring. This could be any one of her pets. Charlie sounds like she's enjoying what she's doing and there's the occasional clank of a pan and the sound of something sort of sticky moving and then whatever purring thing that was near the device climbs off.

There's the flash of white and gray and Phantom is trying to move the device with his mouth. It's still too big so he settles for scooting it around on the floor and there is Charlie wearing a black t-shirt, shorts, her usual sneakers and her hair is tied back and tucked away under a reddish bandanna. She's in the kitchen but everything that she had on the walls, the spice rack with more spices than anyone should have at one time and the retro clock and the pots and pans, they're all in a box on the counter.

The sticky sound? That's a paint roller moving up and down a wall, coating it in black. Charlie has faint smudges of black on her arms and face and she's concentrating. She also looks like she's enjoying herself. There's a yip from Phantom and Petrichor races by, followed by the fox kit and Charlie looks down, smiling.]


You, two. This is neither the time nor the place and---Phantom, you have chalkboard paint on your fur. Hypnos and Sonic aren't even half as crazy as you two. You should take notes from them.

[So much love and teasing in her voice when she talks to the animals. She notices the device but doesn't seem to mind that it's on,carefully setting the roller down in a tray of paint before crouching to pick the device up and raise it so the City no longer has a floor up view. She turns it to the wall for a moment.]

My landlady is awesome. She said I could do this and won't care if I suddenly vanish and it's still up. She said she has someone repaint, anyway, and has seen it all when it comes to painting the walls. Chalkboard painted walls are kind of a bucket-list thing for me, which at this point is kind of too late but whatever. This is fun.

[And the device shuts off so Charlie can keep working. She has a lot of wall to cover.]

I don't really draw, but playing games I'm fine with. Or leaving notes.

Alright. It would be nice to meet Phantom as well. [And, you know, just spend time with you because he's in need to be around someone who died not too long ago.]
oceantrauma: (What?)

Well, it's good he's your pet, then. [Ken might get tired with one like that. He likes his calm cat, and his still missing partner.]

It's alright. You don't need to go to any trouble. I don't mind. [As long as he doesn't live there.]

[A little wide-eyed. Was she just making an expression, or is she catching on to the fact he lies sometimes? Whoops....]

Ah, well, I don't have snack food much. At least not until I came here. Surprise me? The snack food here is different from I'm used to.

[He'd be relieved to know that, but for now he's wondering if she's on to him.]

I would be fine with that. But I'm not opposed to trying more of the junk food I saw at the store. Perhaps another... Oh! How about popcorn?

Yes, of course. [He's eager. The marshmallows were pretty awesome, after all.]
oceantrauma: (Very happy)

[To see that smile again, he'll be there.]

I'll send a message before I go, but I definitely will visit.
