WELCOME TO DREAMWIDTH, HERO...

[The last time Charlie used her communicator, she was angry. People might remember her angry threats to hack into the porter, and wrest control from it - to change the rules of this place. They might also remember warning her against it.

Unfortunately, what they didn't mention was that it had safe guards specifically against mental-interfacing like hers working. Her plan failed. Spectacularly.

Lying in bed, now, people can probably still see the effects of being electrocuted to near death; that, and a rather messy room covered in food wrappers. She doesn't look like she's left this place in a month.]

I hate this place....

[Charlie sitting on a log when the video clicks on, dressed as the Queen of Moondoor; She's been trying to restat her LARPing campaign, here in the city - part of an effort to actually make this place even a quasi home. Besides, if she's being honest, the queen outfit gives her courage. It makes her feel like she' not just fighting for herself....

Of course, she wouldn't be dressing like this if she knew someone could see her. It's right up there with singing when she's nervous, and dancing in glass elevators...

So there she is. Dressed like a queen, straightening her crown with one hand, and tapping with at her tablet with the other. She's been trying to copy her demon-info onto a cloud so that she can reach it on her communicator.]



What's the deal with demons on this world, anyway... None of this stuff makes sense anymore.

 So, how weird is it here to meet someone who looks like you? [This is a bit delayed, but recent events in the city have her extra worried.]  I mean, exactly like me. Like, identical twin split at birth creep fest. Even if we do look amazing in that outfit. [Not the point, Charlie.]

Not that it wasn't cool at first, but now Cyd's acting totally freaky. Like all of this city. 

Unless I'm just insane and we're totally the same person. [She actually seems to consider that for a moment, running a hand through her hair. It's a pretty freaky thought. She doesn't like it one bit.]

I'm not the only one who can see it, right? Red hair? Cyd? Looks just like me? Didn't know how hot we were until five minutes ago when she suddenly went crazy?

[A very unamused looking Charlie fills the comm screen tonight. A shimmering sword is fitted snugly into the palm of her hand, the iron length catching the light on a cruel edge. She drops it, and it disappears. Another takes it place - a curved blade of silver. Again. Now gold. Then diamond. Then copper. Next up is a cheap plastic thing you could buy for any kid.]

 

At least the first one looked cool... [She glares at the comm screen, wishing she was holding something more impressive than a movie prop. Wish granted, since next thing she knows there's a dinky little fencing sword. This was definitely not what she'd been thinking of when she heard she'd get powers.]

How do I turn this thing off? I can't even type...


 ooc: For those wondering, Charlie's just discovered one of her powers: Sword conjuration! A mostly useless skill, since 1. she doesn't know how to use a sword, and 2. the sword disappears the moment she releases it. :(

(Useless, that is, unless she combines her metal swords with another of her powers - electric shocks. Which... she doesn't know about just yet. Say hi to the fail!hero, city. c: )
