Hey. Guys. It's Charlie. [Boy, doesn't she sound stressed.] Would...this is awkward.

This weekend sucks. I had one guy know my name at work and I don't wear a nametag. Nor have I ever seen them in my life. And they were on fire just standing there like it was no big deal. Maybe it was a curse. I don't know. It just bothered me a lot. And then when I left work, someone tried to eat me. Some...asshole vampire that hopefully is just here for the weekend. Whatever. Point is...I don't feel like bringing any of this home and I was wondering if I could stay with anyone for the weekend? Just until this whole shitstorm blows over. Or at least just...have people to be around constantly.


[A sigh, a small, annoyed laugh and then;] haven't felt this unsafe in years.

[Feed clicks out for a moment and then there's another message for Toph.] I'm still coming in for work. Just...I might try to keep things in the back away from everyone neat and all? I'm a bit jumpy and don't want to ...do anything idiotic.

That's.... Things are bizarre enough here without those kinds of events.

By all means, if you want to, you are welcome to stay with me for a time. That is, if you don't mind cats? I, uh, adopted one. I hope you're not allergic.

[charring]

Thank you, Ken. You're a sweetheart. And no, I'm not allergic to cats. I have a couple of my own.

I probably sound like such a chicken, right now. Ugh.

[oceantrauma]

Not at all.

If you're concerned for your safety you should stay with a friend. Find some place to feel safe. That's normal.

[charring]

True. [Yeah, see. It's an entirely new and entirely unexplored concept for her, Ken.] I'll be over in an hour. And thank you. You're awesome.

[oceantrauma]

Ah, no. Not at all. It's just the least I could do for you.

[charring]

I'll return the favor with cooking. Or something. See you in a bit, Ken.

[oceantrauma]

That would be nice, but you don't have to go to any trouble. Although...perhaps it's best we cook and stay in tonight.

[charring]

Anything specific you want for dinner? I need to swing by the grocery store, anyway.

[oceantrauma]

Considering the atmosphere today, I think I'll meet you there.

I already have rice, but some chicken would be nice.

[charring]

Okay. Chicken it is. And I'll see you there in a bit.
