So uh...hi.

[ a+ charlie bradbury. best start to a conversation ever. good job. ]

I'm starting to realize this might actually be the worst timing ever, what with the whole destruction of buildings and earthquake shenanigans and all that jazz, but the network's working again! Or like, un-glitch-afied. Again. And I've kind of been working on this for a while? So why not.

[ and now she smiles. big, look at how cute i am kind of thing. she's really cute guys love her. ]

I'm Charlie, by the way. [ vulcan salute hello. ] Been around for a little bit, just your average geek-without-her-tech. For all you crazy kids I haven't met, hi. For all you crazy kids I have met...hi also.

And yeah okay, everyone's probably going to be rebuilding and surviving and doing that thing we do when we want to not live in houses with holes in the ceiling... [ charlie looks up above her for a moment before sighing and shaking her head. ] But I kind of sort of noticed that a lot of us, when we're not hunting and fishing and generally being great awesome citizens-of-the-month, are bored. Like. Seriously, going kind of insane, bored.

I miss the internet. I know, I know, shock, but a lot of my life was on there for a really long time. I started LARPing a while ago and got really into that, but other than a select few thespian friends I've met, I can't see people really getting into the world of live action RPing. Thus I come to you, my dear, sweet Kore, with another option.

[ at this moment, charlie reaches down to the table in front of her, picking up what looks like a very large piece of paper with a map drawn into it. ]

Table top gaming. [ she says that like it carries a lot of weight, like there should be some applause backtrack going on in her life. if she had her laptop, she could be playing a nice little trumpet sound right about now, but instead? silence. she looks excited enough, so there's always that. ] Figured D&D is probably the most popular, so we could do a version of that. I'm probably gonna be the only DM around here, so depending on who all's interested I could change the game up, but for those of you who don't know- D&D is a table top role play game, or RPG. You make characters, with all these specifics that you peeps are so lucky because I've got that shit memorized, and they go on an adventure.

It's fun, it doesn't involve possibly going out into the dark and life-threatening forest, and it's social. [ ohhhhh, ahhhhhhh. ] We're all stuck here anyway, so might as well make the most of it, right? Right.

Drop your name if you're interested. Gotta gauge how popular this is before I actually get this crap organized. Oh also! If you find any more paper or like...drawing supplies. Collect 'em for me? I might be the master of memorizing kind of useless details, but even I've got a limit here.

And...yeah. Guess that's all I wanted to PSA at everyone. Charlie out.

Be there in a few. Sit tight, okay?

[She closes the feed and proceeds to make good on that promise, knocking at Charlie's front door before leaning to one side and peering in through the nearest window.]

Charlie?

[ jo can probably hear the crash behind the door before there's a moment of silence and suddenly the door flies open, charlie standing there like nothing is wrong. ]

Jo! Hi. What's up?

[She winces at the crash, taking half a step back from the door just on instinct. That sounded like it potentially hurt -- but then Charlie is standing there in the doorway with a smile on her face like nothing happened at all.

Welp.]

Hey -- everything okay in there?

Oh yeah. Totes. Just the normal chaos and destruction that I deal with every earthquake. In Michigan.

[ smooth talker, this one. ]

You wanna come in?

[She grins, biting at her lower lip. Smooth, Charlie. Super smooth.]

Sure. Can't help you carry your stuff if I don't, right?

[She raises an eyebrow before strolling past Charlie herself, hooking her thumbs into her back pockets.]

Not too bad in here, when you consider the general standard of housing around this place.

[ the smoothest, to be honest. ]

Right. Exactly.

[ charlie just steps right aside to let jo in, maybe hiding the fact a little too well that she's been spending the last few minutes cleaning the place as fast as humanly possible. ]

Yeah? I mean- a lot of places are worser off, sure. At least this one still standing.

Gives you a definite leg up over the general store, that's for damn sure.

[That place was reduced to a pile of matchsticks, more or less. She grins, shifting to brace a hand against her hip.]

So where do you need me? Just point me in the right direction and I'll do all the heavy lifting you need.

[Not that her D&D stuff is all that heavy... she hopes.]

I'm not complaining, believe me.

[ and then charlie's just going to point towards the massive map she's been drawing up as well as stacks of paper things and what looks like it could possibly be tiny trees and landscape things.

she's been bored. ]

Not a whole lot, but figured we could store it at the bar anyway? Maybe?

Don't see why not. We've got plenty of room.

[She follows Charlie's direction over to the various stacks, though it's the map that grabs her immediate attention.]

You did all this yourself?

Suhweet.

[ charlie stops just in front of all her stuff, hands on her hips, maybe just a little proud when she smiles at jo. ]

Yeah. Dirk helped a little bit when he'd walk through.

[She grins, clearly impressed. She may not know a whole lot about this kind of thing, but she can respect a job well done.]

Nice.

[Jo helps herself to the nearest stack of paper, picking up and cradling it in one arm.]

Do you have something to carry all the tiny trees and stuff in? Hate to see 'em get damaged after you put all that work into them.

[She appreciates your attention to detail, okay? Okay.]

[ cue some more internal fangirling as charlie holds onto a perfect poker face, and just ends up kind of shrugging. ]

I've got a lot of free time.

[ but then charlie just bends down to start collecting them, trying to bunch them all together before jo's question makes her stop and...actually think. ]

Uh. [ yeah, definitely didn't think about that. ] I mean, I could just put them all in my backpack. Repair them when I get over there if any of them break.
