[audio]

[It’s once again accidental audio, probably from the pocket of someone's work apron. Charlie is carrying a large tray piled high with food from the Jasmine Dragon, not that this is visible, but the sounds around her might at least tell she’s carrying something heavy. And the occasional food-related words are heard. She’s selling Jasmine Dragon-related wares to the masses. And pie jars. Of course there are pie jars. Someone else has drinks and Charlie’s making her way down the line very slowly, selling pie jars and food when there’s interest.]

I need change. Rapunzel? Toph? You guys have change for this guy?

[Rapunzel, whose hands happen to be full of trays of tea, shakes her head.] Sorry, Charlie! My hands are full and I don’t think my dress has pockets. Toph, you got anything?

[ Toph reaches into her pocket and comes up with a fistful of coins. ] You tell me. [ She shrugs and hands them to Charlie. ]

[Charlie balances the tray on her hip and looks over, picking a few coins out and dropping others into Toph's hand.] One of these days, we’ll figure out a system for you and the money.

[She hands the man's change over with a grin and wishes him a nice day before moving on.] This is too fun.

[ Toph grins. ] It's definitely profitable. What are all these people standing in line for, anyway?

No idea, Toph. I’ve heard several different things. Cooking equipment. Comic books. Famous authors. [Charlie hands over another pie jar, slipping money into her pocket. That’s when she bumps the device and pulls it out to check it. A sigh and she switches to video. She’s happy. She also looks a bit tired and might have the beginnings of a sunburn across her nose but she keeps smiling. Time to pretend to be a professional.] Hi, everyone. If you’re at the convention center and are hungry, let Toph, Rapunzel and myself know. We’ll find you.

[Rapunzel pokes her head into the video, hands still full, and she grins, nodding.]

Yep! Just look for the girls in the green aprons with the trays of tea!

[She takes a quick look at Charlie, who does indeed appear to be getting a sunburn.]

Charlie, maybe you should take a break...your face is getting sort of red...

[Charlie turns to look at Rapunzel, slightly confused before crossing her eyes slightly to look at her nose.] Ah, god damn it. [And then she cringes, looking at Rapunzel.] Don’t say those words. They’re bad for business.

[Her tray is nearly empty and she looks at Rapunzel.] Do you have space for these or should I just sit pretty somewhere and hope people come to me? I’m good with either.

[Rapunzel shakes her head, holding out her arms.]

Nope, I got these. Let me go take care of these trays, and then I’ll see if I can’t do something about your face. You just go relax, I’ll manage the line. I’ve never seen so many people standing around in one place like this...

[Charlie turns the video off. ]

[Once Charlie's sure Rapunzel has the tray, she finds the nearest shaded bench and sits down with a huff, idly running her fingers across her nose with a faint wince.]

Oooh, that stings. Some day, I'll remember I'm fair-skinned and will invest in sunscreen. And on that same day, the makers of sunscreen will have made it so it doesn't feel gross to put on, thereby making it something I'll willingly buy.

[For now, though, she's content with the sunburn. Really...ouch.]

[Abed is standing in line, dressed as Batman. He didn't hear any convention advertised, and he keeps getting contradictory descriptions of what this convention is, but a convention just isn't a convention without cosplayers.

He sees one of the ladies going around and speaks.]


Do you have lemonade?

It's considered unprofessional and rude to swear.

[Dear God in Heaven. Is this what sunstroke feels like? Charlie sort of stares for a moment before giggling slightly.] Yes. Freshly made this morning. One sec...

[She hurries off to one of her coworkers, grabbing one of the lemonades before heading back and mentioning a price.]

[Abed pulls out all the money he has in the world.]

How many limes does that equal?

Guess so.

...Though you'd be surprised at how much swearing happens in restaurant kitchens.

[ And accidents. Many of which a certain klutz causes. ]
