[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'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)

	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)

	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)

	[ His eating habits are hilarious to watch. ] What a lousy fashion statement. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	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)

	[Caliborn drops his spoon messily on the table and stands up.] Okay. Go ahead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ 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)

	[He takes the napkin, and then drops it on top of the spoon.] Good enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...yeah, if you've got no regard for rules. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	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)

	[ 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)

	[ While he waits, Dirk cleans off Calliope's spot and fetches a pair of sundaes, one for her and one for him. Then he just sits across from her and starts in on his. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-03-16 03:02 am UTC (link)
	[Gradually, the red fades and all that remains are Calliope's lime swirls. And then her eyelids twitch and slowly flutter open.] [She groans tiredly, like anyone would when being woken up abruptly from a nap. Even if the body is more or less awake, she needs a moment to catch up on her surroundings.] [Which means staring numbly at Dirk for a few seconds.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He glances up when he hears her. Sets his spoon down. ] Morning, sleepy head. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Dirk...?

[And then she brings up her hands to her face in horror, and also to try covering herself up.]

Oh bollocks- Did we fall asleep here? I- I mean me, did I fall asleep here, how silly...!

[She makes to bury her face in her arms, but then there's a sundae in the way, so she looks at it in surprise. It's the little gesture that calms her down enough to avert her either running away in horror or coming up with a heaping dose of truthiness.]

Um.

	You don't got to bother trying to cover it up. I've figured out how the two of you operate. [ "I've figured out" rather than "I've been told" because he doesn't want to implicate Roxy in any way. Even though there's nowhere else he could have gotten this information. ] Must be hells of inconvenient. Try the ice cream, it's not bad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-03-16 03:14 am UTC (link)
	This is against the rules. [It's a very half-hearted protest. Calliope dejectedly picks up her spoon. Unlike Caliborn, she actually tries to hold it right, even though she does check in with Dirk's handling to make sure she's wrapping her claws around it "properly."] Aren't you scared or horrified?

I was never part of your rules, anyway. It can hardly be considered a breach if an outsider interferes.

[ He notices her eyeing his hand, so he brings the spoon up to his mouth to silently demonstrate. ]

Nah. A Derse dreamer is privy to some pretty whack shit, you know. [ He said something similar to her before... but neither of them seem to remember being here during that glitch. That bites. ]

	Sorry, love, but you're wrong about that. You are part of the rules. You always have been. All four of you. [She wants so very much to feel happy that she's in Dirk's company, but right now she just feels kind of sad and exposed and scared.] [But Calliope raises the spoon up to her mouth, and she daintily eats it. It's tasty.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
