#43 - [accidental video]

[totallyinaband]

[The video feed opens to the Stills/Nordegraf kitchen, looking in a little more of a state than usual. Various food items are all piled up on the counter, and the garbage bin is out on the floor, filled to the top with opened packages. Stephen can be seen half-buried in the open fridge. He leans out, a sponge in hand, and uses his wrist to push his

What the hell are you doing? [Land-dweller's were weird.]

[totallyinaband]

Everything in my kitchen stinks.

[char_he_mcgee]

Oh. [there's the sound of water nearby.]< And you're discarding it. Humans are weird.

[totallyinaband]

Yeah, I am, it-

[Wait a second...]

Huh?

[char_he_mcgee]

[She rolls her eyes, sighing in frustration before repeating herself.]

Humans. Are. Weird. [Is that a fin flicking around in the background behind Charlie, Stephen?]

[totallyinaband]

And you're not included in that demographic?

[char_he_mcgee]

No. [What was with all the humans thinking she was one of them? She turns the device to point out the very long fin she has where legs really ought to be before looking at the device again.] Clearly not.

[totallyinaband]

Huh. That's new.

[char_he_mcgee]

No. I've always had that.

[She's so confused and annoyed right now.]

[totallyinaband]

[Stephen learned a while ago it's easier not to argue with people when they think they're cursed...]

So you're like a... mermaid?

[char_he_mcgee]

Clearly.

[Please forgive her, Stephen. Apparently Mermaid!Charlie is a snob.]

[totallyinaband]

So are you the Hans Christian Andersen kind or the luring-sailors-to-their-death kind?

[char_he_mcgee]

Why would I tell you? Where's the fun in that?

[totallyinaband]

I'll just... steer clear of any large bodies of water just in case.

[Although would it still work if he doesn't like chicks? Either way, not entirely willing to find out.]

[char_he_mcgee]

[Charlie wouldn't mind testing that, Stephen. However, she's just going to frown because you not going near water? That ruins her fun.]

[totallyinaband]

[Your feminine wiles have no affect on him, woman.]
