Charlie says...don't talk to terrifying psychopathic coworkers...

[Kit-Ginevra]

So I receive a call from a group that I've helped volunteer with and they think I might like to do some shifts at another of their shops.

Fine-I rattle up and get introduced and then I meet one of my new coworkers.She must be 17 or 18 and would immediately earn a big tick in the I-Spy:Goths book
Boots-check. Purple tights-check.Ragged black veil-check.Black eyeliner-check.I'm going to be working with Morticia Addams' twin sister.

Her first words to me are 'I wish to please you however I can.How can I serve you Master?' This isn't a till girl I've found,this is a Dolcett girl.

Her name is...'Rose,but if you wish to change it,you may.I shall ask Charlie to choose a name for me that will honour him.I want to bear many children to make the family grow...'

Who is Charlie?She gets out her phone which has a picture on it...of her in her bedroom,in a wedding veil and covered with deathly white makeup.And above the bed in a sort of shrine with a candle below it and black roses around it...is a huge picture of Charles Manson...

and I'm outta there...

P.S. Maybe she was trolling you? .-.

That's what she said.

Reminds me of the guy at Taco Bell who called me "m'lady" and randomly bowed. Kept getting my order wrong until I gave up and said it was right just so I could stop talking to him.

Sounds like a poser. Real Goths are almost always non-violent.

Unless you seriously piss us off. But even then we're not as cracked as that missus. Thankfully!

Last I heard, Charlie was very ill. I wouldn't want to be around her when he finally assumes room temperature.

Also, from what I understand, Manson's followers were hippies, not goths. I really should get back to reading Helter Skelter.

Aw shucks. I'm heartbroken. Really.
Heartbroken that it's taken this long for him to begin the process of checking out.

I'm not sure there were Goths back then, at least, not in the sense that there are today. I think they were all lumped into the same 'anti establishment' category as hippies were.

One of my friends was almost swept up in the frantic search for suspects before they identified Charlie.

His roomie asked if he wanted to go for a ride. They went to an upper floor apartment full of gays, where his roomie disappears and leaves this RM with a couple of the residents. One is putting the moves on him while his boyfriend is glaring at him. They leave, ride the elevator to the lobby and the door opens to wall-to-wall cops. They get off, cops get on, and roomie drives like an epiletic snake. They get home, see the apartment on the news and roomie tells him he'd just scored a kilo of weed there.
