[It doesn't take Charlie too long to figure out on how to use a smart phone. Of course the style and the way it's made is way different from hers back home, but after exploring it for a few minutes - she manages to get the hang of it. The video feed starts up with her look down at the camera but then alternating the angle so whoever is viewing can get a good look at her.]

[Awkwardly, she flashes a small smile and a wave.]

Uh. Hi! I'm Charlie.... -- Soooo uh...

[Charlie takes a small look around her surroundings as the recording now starting to lightly bounce in movement due to her walking.]

If I'm getting this right, we're stuck here? I mean, I guess there's worse places...

[Funny enough seeing that her home is technically supposed to be that worse place. The recording stops shaking for a moment as she comes to a halt. She bites the tip of her thumbnail as she ponders nervously. Almost forgetting that she is on video, she turns her attention back at the camera.]

Oof... - Uh. Sorry, sorry! I'm just, uh, trying to wrap my head in all of this. -- Er, anyone mind helping me get settled, I guess?

[A beat.]

Oh! And maybe help find my friends? There's Angel, Vaggie, Husk, Nifty, and... [She pauses for a moment. Should she really name the last person?] -- and Alastor.

My parents are Lucifer and Lilth. And if you see little goats in tuxedos, they belong with me. So, if anyone seen them or know where they are in this... place, just let me know! Or let them know I'm looking for them.

-- I'd really appreciate it and thanks!

[I.e. he's talking about an Asian-style establishment with tatami mats and kimonos. Not much of a sleeper, so he rarely goes, but...]

Huh, me? Really? -- Are you sure?

[This is a first someone has ever given her a compliment in a good while.]

[There's more where that came from if she makes his dreams come true.]

PAPSOLUTELY!!! I KNOW THE GUY WHO RUNS IT NOW: OKITA THE WOLF-TAMER-SLASH-SWORD-GUY!! HE'S REALLY COOL TOO!!! BUT THAT JOB...I CAN'T QUITE PUT MY FINGER ON IT. IT MEANT A LOT TO HIS FRIENDS, SO HE'S TAKING CARE OF IT, BUT IT JUST SEEMS TO MAKE HIM SAD.

WE HAVEN'T HUNG OUT VERY MUCH EVER SINCE HE GOT IT.

[There's the low. Now the high!]

YOU'VE GOTTA DO IT CHARLIE!!! IF YOU TOOK OVER THE INN FOR HIM, HE COULD, IRONICALLY, REST EASY AND GET A JOB FAR MORE SUITABLE TO HIS TALENTS WITH ME!! IT'S LIKE DESTINY HAND-PICKED YOU FOR YOUR EXPERTISE!!! PLEASE???

Edited 2020-01-20 18:52 (UTC)

Making him sad? Gosh... Er, well. Sure, if it's alright with him. We can have a talk with him and see how it feels about. -- I wouldn't want to take over something that meant a lot to someone else.

[A tentative yes is still a yes in his excitable brain.]

IT'S THE ALLEST RIGHTEST EVER!!!! NOT TO WORRY; HE SAID AS LONG AS SOMEONE'S HANDLING IT, IT'S COOL! AND YOU'RE THE MOST CAPABLE SOMEONE FOR THE JOB I KNOW!! I BELIEVE IN YOU!!! I'M GONNA GO MESSAGE HIM RIGHT NOW

THANKS A MILLION CHARLIE!! WE'LL GET HIM OUT OF HIS INNPRISONMENT SOON, OR MY NAME ISN'T THE GREAT PAPYRUS!!!

[It isn't, and she'd probably be wise to not inform poor Okita about the pun.]

Edited 2020-01-20 19:29 (UTC)

You're pretty sweet, Papryus. Thank you for saying you believe in me! I promise that I'll work hard and keep it amazing...!

YOU'RE VERY SUGARY YOURSELF THERE, CHARLIE!! I MIGHT HAVE TO USE SOME TOOTHPASTE AFTER THIS!!!

I'M SURE YOU WILL! CALL ME IF YOU NEED A CHARACTER REFERENCE DURING THE INTERVIEW. I'LL BACK YOU UP!

OH, UH, ONE LAST THING.

AT THAT HOTEL, DID YOU EVER...READ PEOPLE BEDTIME STORIES...?

Uuuuh.... no? Is that a thing at this hotel?

[If it is, that would be crazy hard to do if there's a lot of patrons and having to go each individual room to read a story.]

WELL, NO. IT'S NOT A THING AT MOST ESTABLISHMENTS, IN MY EXPERIENCE.

DOES THAT MEAN YOU'VE NEVER DONE IT?? DO YOU THINK YOU COULD, ESPECIALLY IF IT WAS FOR AN EXTREMELY HANDSOME, SMART, AND HELPFUL INDIVIDUAL???

Iiiiiiiiii, uhhhh. I-I'll get back to you on that. Eh heh heh...

[She clears her throat to change the subject.]

Ahem, so. You're definitely not where I'm from. I would had recognized you, for sure. -- Are you from a, uh, different kind of Hell?

[He's gone without this long. What's a few more months? It's okay, Papyrus. Don't let the world see you cry.]

NO WAY JOSE!!! THE GREAT PAPYRUS IS FAR TOO GOOD TO COME FROM THERE! AND I HAD THE SANTA GIFTS TO PROVE IT!!!

[He misses his action figures. He also missed how he kinda insulted where Vaggie, at least, came from. But then she insulted it much worse.]

...NO OFFENSE!! ANYWAY, DON'T YOU HAVE TO BE A DEMON TO COME FROM THERE??? I, OBVIOUSLY, AM A VERY HANDSOME MONSTER, SO I'D NEVER QUALIFY EVEN IF I WASN'T A RIGHTEOUS RAVIOLER.

Yeah, I'm a Demon. In fact, I'm the Princess of Hell. The daughter of Lucifer and Lilith.

OOH, ROYALTY. THAT'S NEATO! I WORK HAND-IN-GLOVE WITH THE KING AND QUEEN IN FAYREN SO I KNOW WHAT THAT'S LIKE! DIDJA WANNA SEE ME GENUFLECT???

[The proper nouns don't quite register.]

IT'S STRANGE, CHARLIE. VAGGIE SAID THAT HELL IS WHERE A LOT OF BAD PEOPLE GO, AND DEMONS WERE THE WORST OF THE WORST. BUT YOU DON'T SEEM BAD AT ALL! ARE YOU HIDING SOMETHING...?

Gen--what?

[But she ignores that for now since his next question was about her possibly hiding something. Charlie shakes her head, puzzled.]

No? Why would I be hiding something? -- I just, I dunno. I've always been this way. And yeaaaah, they can be pretty bad. But there's good in them, too.

YOU KNOW! A BEAUTIFUL BOW! A STERLING STOOP!! A BENEVOLENT BEND OF THE KNEE!!! I'VE PRETTY MUCH MASTERED THAT MANNER!!

YEAH, I AGREE!! VAGGIE'S BEEN MAKING SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS!! WELL, THAT'S A RELIEF. SO LONG AS YOU'RE NOT A MURDERER, OR THIEF, OR A...LAWYER...

[His face screws up as he thinks of the other choice nouns she used, then thinks better of it, reverting to his natural smile.]

THEN WE'RE WELL ON OUR WAY TO BEING GREAT FRIENDS!!!

Well, I'm totally looking forward to it. You seem like a swell guy...!

THE ONLY THING SWELLER THAN ME IS MY MUSCLES!!! WELL, FEEL FREE TO DROP BY THE FAYREN GUARDIAN OFFICE, AKA THE PAPYRUS PALACE, ANY TIME!!! GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR FRIENDLY PHONE CALLS!!!

Oh, I will. Again, thank you so much for all of your help!
