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?

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."

"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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

He gave her a sympathetic smile and offered her a hand up. "A valiant effort."

"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.
