[Charlie has a broom in her hand and she is sweeping the floor of her apartment building, frowning. The device is at an odd angle on the kitchen counter, probably haphazardly put there and she's unaware it's recording.] Jesus, it's everywhere.

[Whatever she's just swept up is swept into a dustpan, Charlie crouching and disappearing from view to do so. When she's up again, she notices the device recording and she shows the dustpan full of sand.] Really? It was in my bed this morning. And my shoes.

[A sigh, a small shake of her head and she looks at the floor again. Something makes her smile and she picks the device up, pointing it at her cats. They're playing with the sand, batting it around and rolling in it, as little as there is.] At least someone in this apartment is having fun with it.

[Feed ends.]

[ Pepper agrees, not singing along, but tapping her foot more obviously now. ] It's a real classic.

So, Charlie, tell me about yourself. Where were you from, before you came here? Not California, obviously.

The Lenny Kravitz cover is one of my favorites. [She continues humming along, more a relay for time than anything else.]

I'm originally from Pennsylvania. Port City. Right before I came here, I was waiting for a bus for Colorado. I travel a lot.

[threeolives]

Oh, absolutely. Can't beat Lenny. For the sound or the view.

A jetsetter, eh? For business or pleasure?

[charring]

Lenny is definitely nice to look at.

Little bit of both? I have a hard time staying in one place. My natural instinct is to keep moving.

Action

[threeolives]

Oh, I know what that's like. If not from personal experience, then from watching it.

Do you by any chance know Tony Stark? [ He seems to be building up a notoriety around here to match his at home. ]

Action

[charring]

Yes, I do. He's a friend of mine. I helped with his suit for a bit.

[And there is their drink order. Charlie hands Pepper hers, tilting her head towards the door.] Shoes, right?

Action

[threeolives]

Oh, he has his suit here. [ On the one hand, that makes things easier, if Charlie already knows about Iron Man. On the other hand, Tonyyyyy... ] Well Mr. Stark is my employer. Home and, here, I guess.

Yes. Shoes. Glad to see you have your priorities straight.
