[Charlie's at home in the living-room this time. She's seated on the couch with Phantom sleeping at an awkward angle on her shoulder. Seriously, he's upside down and seconds from falling off into her lap but it's obvious he's breathing and occasionally his paws move like he's chasing something, accompanied by faint growl sounds from the fox.

Goofy animal.]

So, yesterday I was almost flattened by a marble table that fell from the sky. Someone knocked it out of the air before it hit me. A very....big someone and I didn't get the chance to do this yesterday so...thanks.

[And then she filters it to friends. This is important. Pay attention. This has her in a very good, and somehow kind of shy mood, so she's going to fail at Words and this won't come out quite as eloquently as she'd like it to.]

[Friends filter;]
I need help putting something together. It's....[A pause. She never in her wildest dreams thought this would be happening to her. Her life just didn't allow it. So she's not sure what she wants to say.] Merlin and I are getting married and I don't know the first thing about putting a wedding together and I'm asking my friends for help with this.

[Charlie, that was the shittiest way to announce your future plans. And she seems aware of this because her face turns red and she runs her fingers through her hair a moment. Phantom wakes up long enough to slide off her shoulder and run off. His human disrupted his nap. He's going to sleep elsewhere.] I don't...really want something big, even if this is big for us. I just want it special and would love it if all my friends were part of it.

[And then the feed shuts off. She's said enough. She can't brain saying more because it's once again hit her that she is getting married. Holy shit.]

Ew.

[Don't mind him. Please.]

[charring]

What? What 'ew'?

[She never does.]

[gotashortfuse]

That's...gross.

[And...so...feels-y]

[threeolives]

Don't worry about the technicalities, I can take care of those.

[charring]

I leave that in your capable hands. And I appreciate it.

[anunluckypenny]

[Okay, so Penny doesn't know Charlie that well, but.]

Oh, gosh--congratulations! That's so neat. Besides small, what kind of wedding do you guys want to have? When's it going to be?

[charring]

I still have to talk to him about that. I just wanted to make sure my friends were going to be a part of it.

[candothat]

I am very happy for you, Charlie. May I meet this Merlin? I would like to be sure that he will do.

[charring]

Yes. Yes, you can. Trust me. You'll like him.

[This is Rapunzel, squealing at the prospect of her friend getting MARRIED!!]

Charlie, that's fantastic! Congratulations!! I'd be honored to help you get ready for the wedding...can I make the cake?

[She can also do the decorations, make the dress, and provide music if you want, Charlie.]

Re: [Friends Filter]

[charring]

You'd do that? [Sometimes, Charlie fails at processing that friends actually do these things for each other.]

[oceantrauma]

Ah, Charlie-san.... [He doesn't want to make her regret her decision or feel bad when she should so happy, but he has to say something.]

You're not cursed this time, right?

Re: Filter;

[charring]

I'm not cursed. This was actually a very thought out decision.

Filter;

[beyourarmy]

Congratulations!

I get to go, right? I don't know what I could do to help, other than put up decorations, but I'd like to.

Re: Filter;

[charring]

You better be there. I'll be pissed if you're not.

[aperfectthird]

Congratulations. I'm very happy for the two of you.

I'm afraid I don't know much about weddings, either, but I'm happy to help with organizing - and, if you need fireworks, I can provide them to you at a deep discount.

[charring]

Fireworks. Oh, my God. That's the best idea. Talk to Pepper. She, Setsuna and Rapunzel are helping, too.


[And then with a huge grin.] You're fantastic, Percy. I appreciate it.

[signatures]

Married?

Haven't you two only known one another a few months, now?

[charring]

Yeah. A few months. Dating for slightly less than that.

[infernoandhearth]

Oh good, a wedding after all! Good for you, Charlie, weddings are brilliant. Do you need anything for it? You've already a dress, I think, or I'd offer cloth for it, but I can do the rings if you want. I imagine you won't be needing a sword, and I promise not to use cursed gold, honest. [He has his joking face on. These are all probably jokes.]

[charring]

Actually, I have a sword. It's made from sand and fire and magic and won't let anyone touch it but me.

[She's serious, too. She made it with Professor McGonagall during a desert curse that lasted way too long.]

What do you mean, you can do the rings?

[majorcrotchgrab]

Congrats.

[HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT MARRIAGE BUT... Charlie is his friend, so he can allow himself to be a little happy for her]

private; (Fff this didn't even show up in my email)

[charring]

Thank you! You're coming, right?

friends filter; voice; backtag like woah? 8D

[firesneeze]

Charlie-- congratulations!

Have you guys settled on a date?

friends filter: voice: always backdating yes good.

[charring]

Thank you! No, we haven't yet. We're still letting this sink in, I think.
