[The feed kicks on. Charlie's turned it on mid-conversation with someone at the tea shop. Someone's thanking her for their tea and the audio around Charlie fades. She's gone into one of the break rooms to speak.]

Can I just say I'm very happy I only woke up with a new tattoo once within the past week or so? I don't think I want a second. I'm fine with my butterfly. Also? The carousel is creepier than usual I'm either seeing things or we're in for something.

[A pause.] At least it's not sand, again.

[And the feed switches off.]

You... have a butterfly?

Um. Where?

[charring]

Nowhere awful. Back of my left shoulder. Got it during 'high-school'.

[iwatchtjhooker]

Oh, okay. Never mind!

[yuujou_wa_mahou_desu]

I think they're really cute, though.

[charring]

Maybe. I haven't seen any, despite people's offers to show me their new ink. I'm just taking their word for it.

[She really doesn't want to see anyones ass-cheeks, thank you very much.]

[yuujou_wa_mahou_desu]

Hmm...maybe that's best...

[designedtoparty]

You, too? And there I was thinking I'd been out drinking. Just goes to show I should check this think before jumping to conclusions.

What did you wake up with?

[charring]

Well, about a week ago I woke up with a butterfly on my left shoulder. I don't think it has anything to do with people waking up with things inked on their asses all of a sudden. I'm assuming you did?

[designedtoparty]

I got some dice. They're actually really nice looking. You want to see them?

[whatfriendshipcantbe]

Yuck I remember that mess.

[charring]

It was awful. I still don't think I vacuumed all the sand up.

[whatfriendshipcantbe]

All that sand needs to stay at the beach.

[minigolfandsushi]

A butterfly? What were you, 12?

[charring]

Eighteen, I think. At least, that's what I believed when I got it. High-school curse.

[minigolfandsushi]

Not a very rebellious child, were you?

You're not the only one seeing things at the carousel.

voice;

[charring]

Wonderful. Absolutely fantastic. What are you seeing?

voice;

[leathered]

Lady in white. But just out of the corner of my eye.

[majorcrotchgrab]

Drinking too much?

[charring]

Idiot teenager mistake.

[majorcrotchgrab]

Many adults seem to make that mistake as well.

But since everyone else has been mentioning tattoos, it must be a curse...

[aperfectthird]

You're seeing things at the carousel, too?

voice; locked

[charring]

Yeah. I keep....it's like I see the horses falling apart out of the corner of my eye but when I actually look? And someone mentioned seeing a woman, too.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

I'd place my bet on that we're in for something.

Whatever it is, it better be flammable.
