His ears perked up at her voice. He sat up, yawning a bit as he turned to look at her. “No, no it wasn’t long. Just got here a bit ago. Still got time to wait anyways. Bout…fifteen minutes?” He looked at the door of the bar behind them, squint the time sheet posted to the window. “…ehh yeah.”

Charlie kinda just…stood there. He’s not super socially inclined. He’s not sure where to sit, so he just stood idle. He patted some dirt off his jeans, checked his shoes. He could soon smell the food and his stomach started growling even more. And..what’s a gemerl?

“Yeha I did but- what the hell is a gambling king?”

“A huh??”

“Oh, that could be fun! I think we’d have a great time!” He smiled, placing his hands on his hips. It might be a little strange, hanging out with technically two of the same person, but it could be fun.

“DB…I think so? I believe we had a brief interaction at some point…” Scratching his head, trying to remember what exactly they talked about. “It was a small one so, yes we’ve met briefly.”

“Queen is really good, Lana Del Ray too. Not really a fan of benson boone though.” He put his hand to his chin in thought. “I’m more in favor of stuff like Twenty One Pilots and Linkin Park.”

“..so…uh, yeah music. We usually do a few genres, usually stuff like Nu Metal and Midwest Emo. Sometimes though we do pop, just to mix it up.” He looked down and away a bit as he explained.

He stayed in her embrace for a good bit, but eventually he did pull away gently, patting her head in appreciation. “I won’t admit how much I needed that.” He cleared his throat, scratches back of his head.

// Charlie has friends, YAAAAAAAY

He hesitated at first, only bringing his arms his up halfway. A multitude of things raced through his mind, but he was able to shut them out for just a moment. Be here in the present, Charlie. He wrapped his arms around her, completing the embrace. A deep exhale as he closed his eyes, tucking his+

“Yeah…yeah thank you, Charlotte. That means a lot to me.” He feels at least a little better. But he can’t help but still feel a little sadness. It’s one of those things you have to carry around. To remind yourself.

[ @hammertimehedge.bsky.social ] 4:45 PM, Outside The Siren. Charlie is sat on a bench just outside the bar, slouched down with his jacket pulled close to his face. He has his legs fully extended, crossed over at the ankles. His eyes are closed as he hummed to himself a tune. Clearly, he’s+

“Sometimes I imagine IM the anomaly. The driving force to my change was someone that, as far as I know, doesn’t exist anywhere else in the multiverse.” He sighed. “Those versions aren’t Charlie..they’re Chaos still. Still resigned to guarding the master emerald, even though they know they hate it.”

“Oh really? I can play most instruments fairly well, but not nearly as well as my band mates. I really only play them when they’re sick or need a break.” “I’m..pretty sure I have variants. But none of them are certainly like me..at least, current me.” He looks..a bit sad at this.

// yall fuck with sea shanties? I fuck with sea shanties.

Another sneEZE. “Oh, you don’t say?” Rubbing his eyes, wiping away some tears.

He’s having a sneezing fit. “These fucking allergies-“ another sneeze “FUCK.”

“Yes! Very much! Since I moved here I’ve been super engrossed in the music scene here. It’s actually what inspired me to put together my own band.” He was just going to be the show runner, but that changed quickly when he found out he could sing quite well.

His ears perked up at Chicken. “Chicken? That sounds good! Noodles and chicken!” He’s is a big fan of chicken. And shrimp. Sometimes it sucks that he only has to eat so little because there’s so much amazing food he can’t eat sometimes.

“It is! It good to be exited about things!” He doesn’t really get it, but he’s gonna support her either way. It’s great that she found a new interest.

He just stood and listened to her yap. He doesn’t have anything better to do anyways. “That’s..nice?” 💧

“I don’t know what a Nintendo is…I barely know how to work my phone..”

“You’re…uh, that’s great!” He has…NO IDEA what she’s talking about.

“Oh! That’s kinda neat.”

“…what’s a Mii?”

“I want a chicken sandwich..”

“Well luckily since I exist in my own, unique bubble of existence, I can say and DO whatever the hell I please.” He looks pretty smug about that…

“Mmm..yeah, whatcha got?” That fight earlier burned through a lot of energy. He is actually hungry for once. His stomach even growled a bit. He looked around at her apartment, taking in the new environment. Nice place… “I’ll eat just about anything right now..”

// Evil Mary cannot be contained

“The corporate fucking WHAT?” Always a corporation getting in the way of fun.

“But the sound- ?” He paused then squinted, catching on finally. “Oh you think you’re SOOOO funny don’t you?” He leaned in just a bit…then ruffled the quills on her head a bunch and quickly shuffled back so she couldn’t retaliate. “Hah, karma!”

“No I mean- how did you make that noise with your mouth?”

“How…how’d you do that?”

“I’ll be sure to do just that! I know a good coffee spot too, so we can do that next!” He smiled and waved. It’s been a long day… He’s gonna go home and sleep like a rock.

“Oh…would you like some?”

“I think this is the longest I’ve ever been apart from my spear… It’s only a matter of time though.”

“That’s probably smart. Just in case it all comes crashing down again.”

// This app cannot stay stand for more than two microseconds good lord

“It can’t decide if it wants to stay up or not.”

// FYM not enough resources? Go get them?
