audio:

[charring]

[It's the usual background noise of the tea-shop. People sound like they're complaining to Charlie about the glitter everywhere and Charlie sounds like she's had enough. She's arguing right back.]

What, exactly, do you want me to do about the glitter? It's not my fault people are coming in, coated in the stuff. [A pause and then Charlie interrupts whoever is bitching at her.] And I'm not remaking your sandwich or your tea just because you said there was glitter in them. You consumed it all, already.

[More angry muttering from the customer and Charlie speaks again before the feed cuts off.] What is wrong with you? There's children two feet away. Watch your language.

[Charlie speaks to one of the npc staff, sounding tired and annoyed with the entire day.] I'm outta here. See you in the morning.


[And then she finds the device has been recording and she shuts it off.]

[ooc: she's open to talking or run into her on the way home. either works! she is happily curse free.]

I'm glad this glitter curse thing passed me over. I wouldn't want the apartment covered in that crap.

You wanna go to a bar? I doubt these cutesy people will be there. At least, I hope they aren't.

[charring]

If they are, I'm grabbing my beer and walking right out.

[beyourarmy]

I'll be right behind you, too.

[charring]

Where should I meet you?

[beyourarmy]

Uhhhh.....

I need to learn landmarks around here. OH! Is the fountain okay with you?

[charring]

...I guess. [She hasn't willingly been near it since being drowned in it.]

[beyourarmy]

You guess...? [Frown. He can kind of get why. Similar reason he avoids a certain clearing in the forest.]

Um. Would the carousal be better?

[candothat]

Why is there glitter?

Why is it everywhere?

[Because of course he's cursed. He was more than halfway to Kawaii Town already.]

[charring]

No idea, Pavel. It's something the City is doing, I guess. And people look weird.

[candothat]

But most of the curses made sense.

How do they look weird? Are their eyes strange?

[charring]

You thought some of the curses made sense?

Yeah. Take a look at the network. People look....overdone, somehow. No, that's not the right word.

[candothat]

They are consistent, mostly.

No, nonono--I know what you mean. But you are not affected?

[charring]

Other than dealing with the glitter falling off of everyone? I'm awesome.

[She sounds happier than she's been in ages. Since before Ed left but...maybe even happier than that.]

[candothat]

Awesome? Good. I am glad.

[Because Charlie isn't usually awesome.]

What selfish people. You'd think they'd realize it was a curse by now.

[charring]

Some people are just selfish and don't give a shit what's going on. They want what they want and they've convinced themselves they deserve it and anyone that disagrees can go to Hell.

[lol that sort of describes Raikov!]

I don't know how you handled it so well. I would've ended up... letting my "Russia blood" get the best of me.

[charring]

I was very tempted to be awful.

[majorcrotchgrab]

Too bad you don't have a boss that'll let you get away with those sorts of things.

[With all the glitter in his ship, he needed to get away for a while and take a drive. Even his seats are covered in the stuff.

When he spies a familiar face looking gloomy, he slows down to a crawl to drive alongside her.]

Lousy day?

Re: action;

[charring]

Yep. One of those days where I hate every single customer that walks in.

[Lockdown, though. He gets a grin. She's actually been in a better mood than she has in a while.]

What about you?

action;

[ruthless_hunter]

The Death's Head and my seats are covered in this sparkly slag, but other than that, peachy.

[charring]

Hopefully, it'll be gone by midnight.

[ruthless_hunter]

It better. The stuff is even appearing in my holoform's hair.

Re: action;

[charring]

At least it's not sand? I think the City'd mutiny if it were sand.
