Charlie doesn't really have a reaction when he gets asked to bartend. He doesn't overly mind, but at the same time there's a not small part of him that wants to ignore the request and go to sleep, for however long it takes for his Teja to come back ( Read more... )

"Could I just get some water?"
So says the slightly damp newbie approaching the bar. Water seems like a good idea, what with the unexpected new place and all.

"Of course." Charlie slides a glass of water towards him, slightly concerned at the dampness. "Why are you wet?"

kemo_soggy March 11 2009, 21:03:28 UTC

"Can't help it. Kind of a long story."
Short version: Soviet-made humidifiers are a bad idea.

"Would you like a towel, to dry off?"

"I appreciate the offer, but no thanks. It wouldn't help for very long."
The water does help, though, in terms of keeping him from completely dehydrating. Mmm, water.

Charlie smiles lightly, absently. "For very long? do you intend to go getting yourself wet again, after you leave?"

kemo_soggy March 11 2009, 21:30:54 UTC

Moist can take a joke about it, by now. (Also this guy doesn't know any better, so it's all good.)
"I wouldn't if I could help it, believe me. But it just kinda happens."

Charlie raises a brow at that. "All right...what's been getting you way, lately?"

kemo_soggy March 11 2009, 22:09:21 UTC

"Long story short, if anyone ever tells you a radioactive humidifier is a good idea, don't listen."
He's learned to live with it, by now. As best as anyone can.

"Um. Alright."

kemo_soggy March 11 2009, 22:41:52 UTC

"I don't know why Dad thought it was a good idea." Because really, dry skin or not, there are some steps you just don't take.
"Hi. I'm Moist."
It's a name and a job description!

Charlie doesn't really know how to take that. So, naturally, he takes it at face value.

"Charles. Nice to meet you....Moist. Where are you from?"

kemo_soggy March 12 2009, 01:10:06 UTC

"Los Angeles." That he doesn't specify beyond that may give him away as a newbie.

licensed_pro March 12 2009, 01:14:04 UTC

"What time?" It's always a valid question, here. "New York, 2059, myself."

kemo_soggy March 12 2009, 01:27:15 UTC

"...........2008."
Yep, definitely a newbie reaction. (On the other hand, he's pretty sure this isn't Doc's apartment, unless Doc's got some really weird time-travel experiment set up.)

Charlie smiles very lightly. "You must be new here."
