The Curse of Bad Days (Etoile)
They'd gotten back from an xmen mission the other night, some mystic mumbo jumbo was involved there, that sort of thing wasn't his forte though. But when that lot swore curses at the lot of you well...once in a while it seemed to come true. Or maybe he was just paranoid.

It had started innocently, spilling milk while pouring his cereal, but somehow he'd ended up knocking the spoon to the floor and flipping the whole bowl as he bent down to retrieve the stupid spoon. And as luck would have it the bowl decided to land on his head. Oh and the milk it turns out had been expired.

Embarrassing but minor, nothing to call a curse.

Then there'd been the stair railing breaking under his grip and having him slip and almost do a backflip as he tumbled down the stairs. Again, embarrassing but still...maybe he'd just held the thing too hard. It happened right?

And then there were other little things, his alarm not going off, buttons on his shirt that popped off while trying to put the thing on (he'd given up and gone to breakfast shirtless before returning for a tshirt later), being unable to find his school books in time to run to catch a ride to class, having a pop quiz in the form of a programming in-class assignment based of reading he hadn't been able to do because he was fighting evil, ending up in giant lines that took up his whole lunch time but left no time to actually get lunch, missing the bus by a mere moment, the bus he did catch was delayed then broke down part way, and just when he arrived back to the mansion, it turned out he'd left his best mouse in his last class. And he'd still not eaten that day.

Ugh this was a bad day and not looking like it was getting better.

Vlad decided to risk the kitchen, he was starving and really...maybe the fridge would be nice to him?

Ever since she got back from the mission odd things occurred. Generally she would shrug most of it off, there are times she is not the most graceful of people.

In the morning her alarm went off, before she could turn it off it suddenly died on her, she recently bought it. After that, she was going to go wash up and suddenly slipped on the most stupidest thing in the world...a banana peel. How the hell did a banana peel get in the bathroom?

Cautiously she finished washing up and getting dressed for the day, her pants ripped...not just one pair, but four different pairs! She opt for shorts. Throughout the day she spilled every beverage she drank on herself, which proved to be defeating.

Tripping, hitting her head, walking into things (or people), things breaking and the worse falling down some stairs. What the hell is going on? She knew she was clumsy, but not /this/ clumsy.

With much frustration, Etoile decided to get something to eat in hopes nothing would happen. Moved to the kitchen, to only have the door slammed into her face...groaning in pain, she rubbed at her nose and forehead.."I'm about ready to---" Suddenly upon entering she slipped and went tumbling into someone.

Vlad had been in the middle of opening the fridge door and reaching for some juice when someone tumbles into him, causing him to knock some orange juice off the fridge shelf along with a few other things, creating a mess of spilt orange juice for the rest of the stuff to fall into.

Well great.

Vlad looked over his shoulder to see who had fallen and offer them a hand up. "You okay? Man, I'm really sorry, did any of the juice get on you on top of that?"

	Etoile sat there for awhile trying to figure out why everything bad is happening to her. Glanced when she heard a familiar voice. "Oh, hey, uhh...hmmm yeah, for the most part I am." She takes a hold of his hand, trying her best not to fall or slip on the contents on the floor. "I don't think so." She said, looking to see if any juice splattered on her.

	He helped her up, careful to make sure she stayed on her feet. "That's good to hear. Frankly, first good thing today. How's your day been?" As he talked he reached down to retrieve the orange juice carton that had fallen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks." She said dusting herself off. "Terrible. I swear more bad things have been happening me, then I would wish upon my worst enemy." "How about you?" She ask him, reaching over for some paper towel to clean him off and the floor. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Aww shit that sucks," he said, giving her a sympathetic look while he wiped up some of the juice. He stood to get more paper towel. "Mine's about the same. Just a lot of bad lu-" And of course right then he slipped on the remaining juice, going crashing to the floor, his head catching against teh corner of the kitchen island and cracking it off in the process.

"...Pretty much just like that," he sighed from his spot laying on the floor. It didn't hurt but damn was that annoying. Plus now someone would have to fix that corner.

Etoile gasped, giving off a bit of a 'eek' sound when Vlad went for a little ride on the juice express way. Not only did he slip, he also crashed and burned.

"Sweet lord, are you okay?" Etoile asked Vlad, before going over to aid him. Asking if he was okay was a bit redundant considering he had the power of metal or whatever.

"Yup, totally understand how you feel. It only seems to be getting worse." She says, reaching her hand down to help pul him back up to his feet.

	"Yeah...just annoyed," he admitted, looking a bit put out as he lay there. Finally, after a minute, he sat up and touched his head, feeling the metal that had been exposed by the hit. Ah well. He took her hand and got to his feet. "It really does. Let's get the last of this juice cleaned up before we do more damage to this place." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That looks like a nasty bump." Etoile says, pointing at the exposed metal. She figured he really wouldn't feel much pain. "Okay!" She wipes him off before wiping up the orange juice from the floor. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vlad smiled and rubbed the spot. "It would be if I was anyone else." No, he didn't feel any pain, hadn't in a very long time, so it was all good. Though quite annoying. "Okay, we've gotten this mess sorted out with. Though it's making me want to step away from the kitchen. Carefully." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aceofhearts 2013-10-20 08:47 pm UTC (link)
	Etoile nods in agreement. It was true, if it was her she would have felt that, and probably even more so. "Does stepping away carefully even work with us right now?" Etoile says in defeat. She puts the paper towel away. Etoile does ever so carefully step away movements towards the kitchen entrance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vlad couldn't help but chuckle. "I doubt it, but might as well try tip-toeing away. It's our only shot," he shrugs as he carefully and slowly steps bit by bit away from the kitchen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It may look funny, it's better then nothing! Etoile kept moving slowly out of the kitchen. Successfully she got past the doors, only to slip and fall right on her tail bone. She grimaced..."Well, the idea as good at the time." She says to Vlad, looking up at him from the floor. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He gave her a sympathetic smile and offered her a hand up. "A valiant effort." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks..." Etoile says with a weak smile. Takes a hold of his hand and pushes herself up with some help from him. "I wonder if we can people to carry us around..." She said half serious, half joking. (Reply to this)(Parent)
