[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.]
