[voice] ⛎ DAY 210
[A voice breaks the peace and quiet. It’s rather androgynous, rather rough from disuse, but loud and abrupt and demanding ~~and bratty~~ all the same.]

Whoa. This “crimes list” is fantastic. An outline of my accomplishments. Great and terrible. And I haven’t even done most of it yet?

But. “Cheating”? You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. I don’t cheat. Fix it. Put it right immediately. Maybe I’ll forget about your little “mistake.” And let you die quickly. Instead of slowly and painfully.

[And then Caliborn brushes it off, at least for now, because he has more important matters to attend to.]

Now. Where’s all my shit? Bring it to me.

I’m waiting.

	[Caliborn swallows it down, fortunately restoring the illusion of good manners for a few precious seconds.] What I'll do after you're broken and bleeding. Is my business. Not yours. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Uh-huh. And what are you gonna do once you get home and we're not there for you to kill anymore? What with us being dead and all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Caliborn sighs, stabbing his spoon into his ice cream.] Did you fall down a hole. And land on your head. What the fuck else is there to do? Play the game. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	But I thought you wanted to kill us as part of that. Or am I just totally misunderstanding? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The point of the game is to escape that fucking rock. Become super powerful. And wreck as much shit as I possibly can.

Your death is part of that plan. But if I can do that here. That's just as well.

Why bother wasting a perfectly good opportunity to look into your eyes. As the light fades from them? [He makes a few more stabbing gestures with the spoon, and then decides to actually resume eating.]

	That's... touching? [ Why did he suggest this. What do they even have to talk about. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-03-15 07:47 am UTC (link)
	Exactly. There will be touching. [Dying, for starters.] You're a less terrible human than the others, Dirk. Maybe I'll even give you a choice? What would you prefer. Being throttled. Or stabbed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-03-15 07:50 am UTC (link)
	Gosh, I can't decide. They both sound really fun. But here's an idea -- how about you don't kill us, and turn out to be a redeemable shithead instead of an irredeemable one? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-03-15 07:55 am UTC (link)
	[Caliborn's stupid grin drops, and he dons an expression of petulant disappointment.] What do you take me for. At best. For you, I mean. I might decide to keep you around for a while. For the "laughs." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-03-15 07:56 am UTC (link)
	Do I have to wear one of those skimpy harem-girl outfits and lounge at your feet? 'Cause if so, hell no, just shoot me in the face and be done with it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-03-15 03:30 pm UTC (link)
	What. No. [Caliborn decimates a gummi worm for a beat before continuing.] There will be none of that bizarre frippery. If anyone wears anything out of the ordinary. It will be my "sister"'s piggy blood. [You know, something perfectly normal.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-03-15 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	[ His eating habits are hilarious to watch. ] What a lousy fashion statement. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-03-16 01:36 am UTC (link)
	Yes. Exactly. [Please continue to enjoy him messily attacking this sundae.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-03-16 01:39 am UTC (link)
	Right. Anyway, you seem to have your ice cream under control, and I don't know what I was expecting besides empty death threats, so I'm just gonna go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-03-16 02:00 am UTC (link)
	[Caliborn drops his spoon messily on the table and stands up.] Okay. Go ahead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-03-16 02:04 am UTC (link)
	[ He stands up. Then thinks again, grabs a napkin out of the holder on the table, and holds it out to Caliborn. ] Dude, gross. Clean up after yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-03-16 02:06 am UTC (link)
	[He takes the napkin, and then drops it on top of the spoon.] Good enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-03-16 02:13 am UTC (link)
	...yeah, if you've got no regard for rules. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-03-16 02:14 am UTC (link)
	[He narrows his eyes at that.] What. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-03-16 02:16 am UTC (link)
	I get that you're in the same boat as me, socialization-wise. But in a society, which is a classification that this inverted fishbowl does qualify for, there are rules you gotta follow. One of which is, if you make a mess you clean it up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-03-16 02:29 am UTC (link)
	Those rules. Are not the rules that matter. [Pardon him while his voice actually gets more dramatic for some reason, likely because he's trying to "subtly" insult Calliope.] But. If you care so much. Make my sister do it. She loves that shit. Cleaning. And "culture." She'll eat it up. Like pig slop. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-03-16 02:36 am UTC (link)
	Sounds like someone's picking and choosing which rules to follow. [ OVERDRAMATIC SHRUG. ] Fine, though. We can make Calliope do it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Caliborn has just enough time to look really really really fucking pissed off before he falls over and lands in his goddamn ice cream dish on the way down.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Welp. What... do. He did that right, right? He moves over and picks the cherub up to place into a sitting position, takes that napkin and mops their face off. It might have been hilarious to see Caliborn like that, but if his hunch is right... ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[The cherub is limp and pliable, and very much fast asleep. The empty part of Caliborn's cheek swirls is gradually filling up with green coloring, though, so it won't be too terribly long before Calliope wakes up.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
