[Charlie really only has three words regarding yesterdays curse.]

That...was bullshit.

[She's frowning, head on her arms. And she doesn't even know the device is on. If she did, she probably wouldn't have sworn. Or continued swearing, fingers lacing anxiously through her hair. When she's finished with probably the most creative string of swears

doopdoop pretend this was yesterday

[ Well, at least it wasn't just her and Jack -- which she knew, of course, from just a quick look at the network. But still... ]

Unfortunately. I held up the back room of a casino with a complete stranger.

[oneminutemaze]

[ Ariadne's not too picky about what she'll be drinking the wine out of. She's fairly certain neither of them decided to do this with the intention of being classy about it. ]

Aren't all cats?

[ She crouches down, offering one hand to the cat to sniff before petting as she grabs the mouse. ] All right, go and get it. [ And a toss! ]

[char_he_mcgee]

[And Hypnos goes for it. Slowly. She puts her paw on it as if to say 'mine' and then picks it up with her teeth. She races back to Ariadne, dropping it again. Charlie, meanwhile, hands the glass over. And class is for people who haven't just been cursed to be wannabe-thieves.]

She followed me home from The Jasmine Dragon. It was kind of cool.

[oneminutemaze]

[ Ariadne takes the glass with a smile, taking a sip before ducking back down to scratch Hypnos behind the ears before throwing the mouse again. ]

She's cute. One of my housemates has a cat, but she's just kind of... lumpy.

[char_he_mcgee]

[Charlie takes a tentative sip, too, nodding her approval. Hypnos chases the toy and brings it back and then flops in front of Ariadne's feet.]

Overfed?

[That's what lumpy translates into for Charlie.]

[oneminutemaze]

[ Awwww, hi kitty. Ariadne crouches down to rub her belly. ]

Yeah, definitely. She's utterly spoiled. It's kind of adorable, though.

[char_he_mcgee]

There's nothing wrong with a spoiled cat. [Or alcohol. She likes the alcohol. She takes a sip of the wine, probably a bit bigger than the one before. Her fingers tap on her lower lip for a moment as she thinks something over.]

I have home made chicago style pizza in the fridge that won't take long to reheat if you're interested. It's plain cheese.

[oneminutemaze]

Definitely not. [ Ariadne is drinking hers, too, though a bit more quickly -- she's used to it. ]

Oh, that sounds good. Great for the amount of alcohol we might be drinking, too.

[char_he_mcgee]

Awesome. [She stands and heads to the fridge, pulling out the covered pizza and turning on the stove. She...actually hasn't really used the stove since Thanksgiving and has been playing with her ability in regards to cooking so she almost actually forgets to turn the stove on. Whoops. But, it's on and it'll beep in a few minutes.

And she's praying there is a ton of alcohol.] Mind if I ask how long you've been in the City?

[oneminutemaze]

[ She doesn't notice the stove troubles, focusing on finishing off her first glass of wine before going to pour herself some more. ]

A little over a month, now.

[char_he_mcgee]

That explains why I've never met you before. Not that I've met everyone. That'd be overwhelming.

[Charlie just finishes off her wine.] I think I can easily think of at least four dishes this'd go well with. One of which is a dessert.

[oneminutemaze]

What about you?

[ There's a laugh. ] Dessert doesn't sound half bad, either.

[char_he_mcgee]

Since September. Shortly before a curse that sent the City to the fifties.

[She opens her freezer and frowns.] I think I'm lacking in dessert. I seem to recall having a pint of Ben and Jerry's for breakfast. These curses are turning me into a stress eater.

[oneminutemaze]

The fifties, really? [ She's sort of sad she missed that. ]

Oh well. We'll be less tempted to combine the two [ the other being booze ] then.

[char_he_mcgee]

Yeah. I was a car hop. Rolled around on ice skates at a drive up restaurant.

Is that a bad combination?

[What? Her? New to drinking?...yes. Yes, she is.]

[oneminutemaze]

Nice.

Well, that depends on your definition of "bad". It tastes great, but it's a really good way to end up much, much drunker than you want to be the next morning.
