005 ✳ day 86 ✳ video

[Fortescue doesn't look as tired as she should be, but, then again, she's used to not getting much sleep. Comes practically in her job description. She's perched on the end of her bed — Jazz in her lap and regarding the device with a small amount of interest. And though she's wearing a bath robe and warmly covered, jury's out on whether she's wearing anything else.]

Are you tired, Cape? Because you've been running through my dreams all night.

[She allows herself a tiny, tiny smirk for that one.]

No, but... really. I adore you all, but a lady needs some private time once in a while.

I've never even held a fishing pole before.

[ someone's starting to feel really useless. ]

I mean, I've held a wii fishing pole but that doesn't really count, and even then I was awful at it.

[Technically Fortescue uses her magic to get the fish, and she definitely does not regard that as cheating. But she knows how to fish the regular way, too, thanks to a pond in her backyard as a child. And plenty of boredom, and also a precocious younger sibling.]

A what fishing pole?

[Does not compute! Her smile broadens a little, though.]

If you'd like to learn, perhaps I can help. Though if this all continues, I might start nodding off in the middle of putting a worm on the hook.

[ hey fortescue you wanna teach charlie about that magic of yours because she would very much like that. ]

A wii fishing pole! You know. [ she waves her hand around like she's holding a controller. ] It's a gaming system.

You'd teach me? [ exactly this face in the icon. one hundred percent. ] Well, if you wanted to nod off I wouldn't mind too much. Last I checked, fishing wasn't too intense of a sport.

[She watches with a slight frown until Charlie mentions the gaming part, and then nods. While she didn't have access to those, herself, she's a denizen of the telenet. Or the internet, as Charlie knows it. She's aware of gaming.]

Ah, I see. I don't think we have that, where I'm from.

[Then she chuckles.]

Fishing is more of an excuse to drink and get away from people, as I understand it. And yes, I can teach you, if you'd like.

[Why not, when your student's as cute as Charlie?]

It's really not that difficult. The important part is patience.

Seriously? [ which would make sense but sometimes charlie still has issues wrapping her head around things like that. ] Wish whatever teleported me on over here could have at least given me that. I couldn't traded lessons.

[ it's one of those rare things she's totally ace at, after all. ]

Drink and be alone and you're cool with doing it with me? [ like a date? yeah? maybe? :DDDD? ]

Is there some reason I shouldn't be?

[It's a gentle tease, and she winks.]

I could certainly use something to do other than shout at my roommate.

Not that I can think of.

[ ah, yes, that is everything charlie wanted to hear. have a smile for that wink there. ]

I would gladly act as a distraction from roommate-issues.

Glad to hear it.

Let me know when you have a day free, and we'll terrorize some fish.

Well here let me check my-

I literally have nothing going on every. So that date for this date will have to be up to you.

[She chuckles quietly.]

All right, love. Let's say we give it a few days, hope this place lets us get some sleep, and then go out on an expedition.

[ fluttering heart ]

Sounds like a date.

[ wow charlie you just said date three different times in the last twenty seconds or so calm down. ]

I mean- yeah. I'm kosher, or. Good. I'm good. With that.

[Fortescue just assumes it to be playful banter, and that's all, because no one in the past has ever been serious. She couldn't let them.]

Excellent. Then I'll see you soon.
