Characters; Alisha Bailey and Charlie McGee
Summary; Charlie and Alisha have a laugh at the absurdity of that particular curse.
Log;


She'd given herself a day with Stephen and ice cream and pizza to reorganize her thoughts after that wild curse. Just like she told Sif she would and Charlie was sure Sif wasn't the kind of person she should be breaking promises to. And now, feeling worlds better, she really just wanted someone to laugh about it so she'd gotten ahold of Alisha and invited her over for dinner.

Nothing exciting. Just girl-talk over pizza and alcohol. And once again, Charlie made the pizza herself because she had the time to do it, thanks to sand taking over the Dragon. Now, it was just a matter of waiting for Alisha. The front door was open and Charlie will be found in her kitchen, eying the crack in the ceiling that once again seems bigger than before.

"That's going to be interesting."

Alisha was glad to have missed the Sexy and I Know It Curse. Considering her previous power was essentially that, she really wanted a break from any possible reminders of what a good portion of her superpowered life had been like. She's sure it would've been horrible for those affected. But, at least, they got to remember it, very much unlike her power. Seeing Nathan naked on the rooftop was scarring enough; she was glad she didn't catch anyone else in such a state. There wasn't enough brain bleach in the world to get rid of the image of his arse, which she'd unfortunately seen once before, though, putting on a show with sunblock on top of the community centre was significantly worse than seeing Nathan completely naked.

God, the trauma.

She was glad to receive an invitation from Charlie for dinner. She never really had friends like her back home; all she'd do was go out and party and go home the next morning, possibly still pissed. It wasn't until she hit the community centre - and here - did she gain real friends.

Alisha walked in, catching Charlie's comment as she closed the door. Walking into the kithen, she said, "What is?" Following Charlie's gaze, she looked up at the ceiling to see the crack. "Shit. That's kind of huge."

[charring]

Charlie just nodded towards the crack, even though Alisha already spotted it. "That was barely anything a few days ago. Just a weird dent in the ceiling that I thought was always there and that I'd just missed it."

Now, though, she had a slight view into the kitchen above. This wasn't sitting well with her. The oven beeped and Charlie stepped towards it, opening it to pull out the pizza.

"So, remember me mentioning that vampire?" She smirks slightly, looking upstairs again. "Apparently, they're a resident above. They can't get in without an invitation, so that's good. I'm just bugged that he wasn't a weekend guest."

[awkwards]

Alisha wondered whether her own place had secret cracks in very obvious spots, but the sound of the oven pulled her away from her thoughts regarding her own possibly cracks and Charlie's.

Alisha leaned against the stove, arms crossed. "Shit," she said. The vampire worried her. If he was to attack Charlie -

- She didn't know much about vampire lore, but she was glad there was something in place. She'd have to ask Simon what the go was. "You're not going to invite him in, are you?" It may have been a stupid question, but Alisha wasn't sure if Charlie was comfortable at all with the vampire living upstairs. She knew she wasn't.

[charring]

"Nope," Charlie said, mostly certain. This place had been known to make her do awful things. Like that curse the other day. She starts searching for a pizza cutter. "God, so. I have to tell you about the ridiculous thing I did with the vampire during that curse the other day."

Where the fuck was the pizza cutter? It takes her a minute to find it and she sets to work on the pizza, talking as she goes. "Apparently, he was also cursed to dress up and walk around going on about how hot he was." And it kinda sucks. It wasn't a total lie but Charlie isn't voicing that.

"I ran into him after I'd gone shopping for corset tops and other stuff I wouldn't ever wear and we ended up crashing a party and dancing till midnight." If this had been the day after the curse, she'd be spazzing and flailing. Now she just looks amused.

[awkwards]

Alisha stayed quiet for a moment, watching her. The entire curse sounded like one big fat nightmare she was incredibly happy to not have been a part of. "So, what? Are you two friends now?"

It sounded like the curse just made people act on their inhibitions. Much like her power, but with more consent. "He bit you, didn't he?"

[charring]

"No. Thank God, no." Charlie shakes her head, still trying to not smirk too much. Still, she runs a hand on her neck, fowning. "He didn't bite me. We're not friends. In fact, I'm pretty sure he's going to be staying away from me for a while. We'd been dancing, flirting which was weird, he was nuzzling my neck and then midnight hit. He barely got near me before I kneed him in the balls."

The last bit of information is said with the calm of someone saying the grass is green or water is wet. And then, she's smirking again.

"Apparently, vampire males hurt just as much as human males do when hit there hard enough."

[awkwards]

"I'll keep that in mind," she said. She had no intention of going near a vampire, but knowing that there was something easy she could use against them was good information to have.

Though, she couldn't help but be confused. Frowning, "So this curse made you act all friendly with people? You're hating him, yeah?"

[charring]

"I was super friendly, kept telling people how amazing we looked together." She shot a glance at the ceiling, frowning before shaking her head. "I thoroughly dislike him and will not be eagerly seeking out his company again"

[awkwards]

Alisha laughed. "Thank god. I was seriously starting to think you were possessed or something." She's relieved to hear that, despite the flirting brought on by the curse, Charlie felt the exact opposite.

"Maybe you should get one of those necklaces with the cross and some garlic. Keep him out of your way when you're here or partying." That's what people did to vampires, right?

[charring]

"Crosses work if you have faith in them. I'm not sure what my faith is, honestly. It's worth a shot, though," Charlie said as she settled on the couch with her food. "If I ever get stuck in a curse with Ed again? Smack the shit out of he and drag me off by my hair. Seriously. I will forgive you when I'm uncursed."

[awkwards]

Alisha followed her, grinning. "I promise to not hit you too hard." She didn't have experience knocking the life out of probation workers, but watching Kelly at her best taught Alisha a few things. She could knock the sense right into Charlie if need be, thanks to Kelly.

"I just see them in all those vampire films. Maybe you should just turn the light on him. Don't they burn?"
