Notes: The only Shine Like It Does offering for tonight.


When Charlotte was a girl, she used to sit in the bath for hours on end, until her hands and feet wrinkled. Her family asked why a lot, but it was hard to explain. It wasn't that she didn't feel clean, or that she particularly liked water—it was just that, well.

It was just that every time she went to an event with her family, people gushed over how beautiful or handsome her siblings looked, and then they turned to her and said that she looked good too.

If she put bubbles in the bath, it was almost fun.

NEVARRRRRR you respond so flatteringly and your tears taste delicious on ice cream. Thanks!

[greenling]

Glrmph.

I can strangle those people for you, Charlotte. Really. Reach right through the fourth wall.

(Not really. Sadly.)

[bookblather]

Alas. Does it help if all of them have karmic things happen to them? Because it's my universe and in my universes karma comes back to bite you.

Thank you!

[greenling]

In part, in part. If you have links to said karmic things to read and comment on, that would definitely help. :3

You're very good at small and pointed things.

[bookblather]

Nothing yet, but there will be. Oh, yes. There will be.

Thank you!

Oh... :-(

[bookblather]

Yeah. Thanks.
