[This is done on purpose. For once. For the most part, she'd rather not show her face but she has things to do and has decided that the damn City isn't going to keep her from sticking to her responsibilities.

So, the City is graced with a view of her t-shirt. From the sounds around her, she's at the Dragon and it is a very busy day.

Her shirt, black writing on a white background, says;]

I BURNED DOWN 200 PLUS ACRES OF POPULATED GOVERNMENT PROPERTY WHEN I WAS A KID AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY T-SHIRT!

[Charlie does not look like she cares at all. She looks kinda bored, actually.]

All my shirts are like this, apparently. Any shirt I buy ends up looking like this. It's just for a day, right?

[A shrug.] I'll manage.

You're handling this very gracefully.

I have a business to run. That really leaves me with no choice.

I've one as well, and it's open, but I'm not being quite as graceful as you are. I admire your courage.

Part of it's faked. Just so you know.

That makes me feel a little better.

Did you? How fascinating.

[He's not showing his shirt today. Not if he can help it.]

Yes, I did.

We have more similarities than I thought.

[That's...somehow unsettling.]

How so?

I once owned a forest. The government moved to nationalize it, to make my private property public. They did so. I burned it to the ground.

How about you go topless?

[It's the perfect solution. Despite this, Nathan is still wearing his own 'I SHAT MYSELF IN MY COFFIN AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY T-SHIRT' shirt.]

Nathan. No. Besides, the shirt is stuck on.

[And then she reads his shirt.] Wow.

[Nathan looks put out.]

Like you've never took a dump in your coffin.

I've never been in a coffin. Do I look dead to you?

Okay, fine. At least I didn't burn down 200 acres of government whatever.

[ The t-shirt is no surprise to Pepper, who's already seen the incident in question from Charlie's memories. She herself keeps the video strictly head-level, so you can't see any of the writing on the t-shirt poking out from underneath her blazer (~~mostly because mun hasn't decided what it says yet~~). ]

You will Charlie.

[ Then, quieter, ] They deserved it.

It's occasionally easy to roll with the punches the City dishes out.

[Plus? Considering how often the City likes throwing her memories in people's faces? She's kind of used to it. Sort of. Pissed as hell, to be sure, but she has the Shop to run.]

[private]

If I said that sometimes I didn't think they deserved it, what would you say?

Populated by whom?

The people that worked there.

[The people that tortured and murdered her mother.

The people that killed her father.

The people that chased her and her father for over a year.

It's a hell of a list.]

I bet they deserved it.

Hmm... [That's something she struggles with.]

A lot of other people agree with her, too.

[private]

Meanwhile, I waver.

Edited 2012-09-21 00:26 (UTC)

Yeah. I understand. It's a lot easier to say they deserve it when you see it all from the outside.

Its kind of pointless to think about, but I kinda wonder sometimes if there was something I could have done differently.
