Re: Hiding by the food - OTA
Charlie couldn't get the thought out of her head that it had been a stupid idea to come to this party. She'd been sitting in her apartment, batting the idea around of whether she should just call work and see if they needed an extra hand tonight; but the lure of free booze and food had eventually gotten her to attend. Maybe she'd just hang out for an hour or so and then leave. In the semi-spirit of the event, she'd thrown on a set of devil's horns, nothing terribly elaborate and Charlie had never been into makeup.
She made her way over to the food area, trying to avoid anyone who she might know or who might know her, and of course ran into what looked like Dorcas dressed up as a heater. Or at least wearing parts of a heater. Charlie didn't really understand what the other woman was going for, but, hey, it was Halloween. Everyone let their freak flags fly on this night of the year. Grabbing a paper plate from one side of the table, she started to casually fill it with the food laid out.
"C'mon, don't be a wuss," she responded to Dorcas' muttered comment. Charlie plucked one of the impaled eyeballs from the plate and popped it into her mouth. "S'like a meatball. Not bad," she explained around a mouthfull of food. Charlie, ladylike? Hilarious.
"So...what are you? Did you dismember your vaccuum cleaner or something?"
