Third Smoke Signal [video]

[charring]

[Charlie's seated, probably outside somewhere. She has the network device pointed at herself and she's humming slightly. Probably something from the concert. What? The music wasn't that bad. It was pretty amazing, actually, and her first concert.]

So...now that I am out of my skates and back in my regular clothes, I have to say for a first curse, that wasn't what I was expecting. Truth be told, I have no clue what I was expecting. I know waking up with a desire to put on a poodle skirt and skate around with french fries and malts on a tray wasn't it.

[She's amused, fiddling with the device a moment before shifting. It's now obvious she's on a bench somewhere.] Does anyone else have You Send Me by Sam Goode stuck in their head, as well? [She shrugs.] It's not a bad song. My parents used to dance in the kitchen in my grandfathers lake house to it at 2 AM when they thought I was sleeping. And yeah, that song is even before their time but still.

[Ah, memories. She smiles a bit briefly before saying one last thing.] That was fun.

Nathan, I'm a little alarmed that you got that from words of encouragement from my parents.

[And amused. She will never admit to being amused.]

Well, I don't see why not. I'm sure they'd be happy to know their lovely daughter was in safe hands.

[charring]

They'd be ecstatic. I don't think that's quite what they meant, dear.

[designedtoparty]

Maybe not, but I think it's what you got from it that really matters.

[charring]

You're lucky I find your persistence kind of entertaining. Otherwise, I'd have probably stopped talking to you a while ago.

[designedtoparty]

Well, you can't blame a guy for trying.
