Entry tags:
action: Ota! choose your own adventure-style! All options open to all.
Who: Charlie McGee
What: Typical DITL. Charlie can be found in several locations.
When: January 8th, all day.
Where: All over.
Warnings: None at the moment
Cake Town: Attleton in the AM, Fayren in the PM
The first stop of Charlie's day is one of the Cake Town stores. She has schedules to put up, orders to place, customers and people to interact with. It's fine, she'll be fine. This is okay. When she's not busy making food for customers, she can be found seated at one of the chairs, working on the schedule and looking up new recipes to add to the menu. And while she's seated, she's eating. It's a crepe with chocolate and strawberries, one of the ones people can get at Cake Town. She really should have gone for something healthier, but none of her adults are around. This is the decision of a teenager who hasn't had much access to food until recently. She'll eat what she wants.
Axiom Games: Early afternoon - Genessia City
Charlie isn't really sure what brought her to Axiom. Maybe it was the noise and flashing lights and laughter, but she finds herself stepping in, looking around, and buying tokens to play games. Soon enough, she's playing at a First Person Shooter style zombie game, and she's not doing too well. It's kind of hard to aim the gun just right, and these damn things keep popping up before she can even take care of the first ones.
Eventually, she dies, and with a huff of frustration, she steps away from the game. Hands on her waist, a faint scowl on her face that looks more amused than angry. And then more money is put in and she decides to keep trying, mumbling herself in a tone that doesn't sound angry, despite the words.
"...stupid, god-damn exploding...piece of hairy garbage...you're gonna get it." Resting the toy rifle against her shoulder, Charlie decides to try again and does a tiny bit better this time.
Just a tiny bit.
Garden Park: Mid-afternoon - Genessia City
Charlie is taking a break from being inside. She doesn't do well with all that sitting inside a building, so she's happy to catch a much-needed respite from crowds and people. She has Andi and Victor with her, both dogs happy with chew toys and nibbling at the bowls of food Charlie set up for them so she can eat her own sandwich in peace.
She has a book nearby, too. Pinocchio. She's read it a million times over, but there's something about the soft smile on her face that may suggest this book brings her joy. Occasionally, she reaches up to pet Andi or Victor, but for the most part, she's pretty happy with reading about the little wooden boy and the trouble he gets himself into.

Re: Axiom Games
However, he frowns when she mentions that she rather read a book. "And what's so fun about reading a book?"
Re: Axiom Games
"Books are, for me, a brief escape from reality. If the book is good, it's like stepping into another world. If it's boring, it gets put away and I find a new book to read. Or, you can read to learn something new."
Re: Axiom Games
He was interested in her explanation, but in reality, he's not. To him, books have limits. Unlike in video games, you are just limited in reading the other person's POV and of course, there is no interactive element except when you're reading a CYOA book. "But is it worth it on jumping through book to book just to immerse yourself in their worlds?"
Just hearing this made him mentally blacklisted her thoughts for mind reading. It's just not worth it listening to her thoughts about books all the time.
