accidental video: (morning: day 69)

[It's obvious this is accidental video. The angle is sideways and shaky and the owner of said device isn't in view. Whoever it is, they're at the park and they're setting something up on a picnic table, one that's slightly a ways off from the others.

There's a brief view of Charlie, the girl clearly oblivious to the fact that it's recording, and then there is a view of a row of cans set up in a line. Some of them are dented, some look like they've been burned in spots.

Charlie moves away from the table, standing a couple yards away from the table. Her device shows part of the table, again at that awkward angle from before.

Nothing happens at first but then, there's a hissing sound and a bright flash of orange-yellow light. A small ball of fire (yes, fire) flies at the first can in a row, knocking it off the table. This happens over and over until all of the cans have been knocked away and then Charlie moves to set them up again.

It's when she bends to pick up the first can that Charlie notices the device is on. She sighs, rolling her eyes and her shoulders slump in mild defeat. She offers a half-smile, one that doesn't have a lick of amusement in it, before she turns the device off without saying a single word.]


[ooc: open to action, too! because charlie needs the stress in her life.]

Action

[He's learned that you can see a lot of interesting things if you just wander around the town for awhile -- interesting like what he's just seen this girl do, although he can't quite tell how she did it. As he gets closer, he realizes that she's the girl who'd also been stuck as a vampire during that unfortunate week. Might as well greet her, now that they're back to normal...]

Impressive.

Hey, it's the vampire girl. Glad to see you're not stealing my rice again.

[That had been a strange week -- he's glad it's over. Still, he's fascinated by what she was doing, and can't help stepping a little closer, intrigued.]

So. You like lighting things on fire.

[There seem to be an unusual amount of people here named Charlie or Charles. He smiles at her.]

Nice to meet you. I'm Meyer.

[He's still studying her thoughtfully.]

So how'd you do that?

[Target practice, where he's from, usually includes guns.]
hung_garian: (They said that about Napoleon too.)

[personal profile] hung_garian 2013-05-08 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
That must come in handy. Do you rent out your powers for barbecues?
hung_garian: (You shoulda seen the other guy)

[personal profile] hung_garian 2013-05-08 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, so long as you remember to use it for marshmallows every now and then. Otherwise you'd just be wasting your talents.

I could give a shit about challenging, honey. My main concern here is sticky, sugary goodness.

[A couple weeks ago, he would have found that unbelievable, but these days, it doesn't seem out of the realm of imagination.]

And can you light anything you want on fire?
recognize_an_opportunity: (i like to lurk)

Re: Action

[personal profile] recognize_an_opportunity 2013-05-08 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Have you always been able to do it?

[It's not so much that he hopes to really understand her ability, but information is always useful, and he has a difficult time turning off the part of his brain that just wants to ask question after question.]
recognize_an_opportunity: (Yeah tell me another one)

Re: Action

[personal profile] recognize_an_opportunity 2013-05-08 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds pretty useful.

[A pause.]

And pretty dangerous. I'll try to stay on your good side.
recognize_an_opportunity: (that shit's funny)

Did you steal the fish from a vampire, too? Risky business.

[He smiles back.]
recognize_an_opportunity: (laughing)

[personal profile] recognize_an_opportunity 2013-05-08 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I was always kinda under the impression that if my meals didn't involve the risk of having all my blood drained from me, it just wasn't satisfying.

(OOC: DUE WARNING I WILL BE SLOW AS HELL TAGGING THIS UNTIL SATURDAY BECAUSE I AM IN FINALS HELL. Also what day is this set on?)

Charlie?

[ There's a note of fear in his voice that has nothing to do with the display of pyrotechnics well okay maybe a little bit. It's possible that she meant to just do a demonstration for everyone, following in Charles' footsteps, but it really looks like it was an accident. He remembers how she'd been pretty clear about not wanting anyone to know, before. ]

You, um. You know that just broadcast out to everybody, right? [ He seems agitated and nervous, on her behalf ]
recognize_an_opportunity: (Serious business)

Re: Action

[personal profile] recognize_an_opportunity 2013-05-08 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[He immediately knows what she's asking, and nods.]

Yeah, I did. Not because I wanted to, though.

How did you do that?!

[His eyes are shining with wonder and his expression is disturbingly eager]
