[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.

	[ Not trying to kill anyone is a plus. Dirk is getting in some hours in the gardens when Caliborn calls him. Ugh, great. ] Sector four. For real this time. You want to meet somewhere, or what? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There is a place with ice cream. And other candy. All on demand. As it should be. That is where I will be. [And maybe has already been today.] Don't keep me waiting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ "A place"? Helpful. Dirk thinks. ] You mean Chill? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-03-15 06:51 am UTC (link)
	Yes. That one. Hurry up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-03-15 06:54 am UTC (link)
	Okay, okay. I'm coming. [ Luckily he's taken to wearing an apron and long gloves while he works. Cleanup is simple enough, and he's there in only a few minutes. He immediately recognizes Caliborn, approaching him casually, hands in pockets. ] Yo. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Caliborn is already there, clutching a spoon in his hand as though he were going to commit horrible acts with it and not eat ice cream. Which is what he is definitely currently doing. It's an ice cream sundae with all sorts of garbage piled on.]

[He leers at Dirk as he comes in.]

Yes, Dirk. Perfect. Keeping that cool facade in the face of your future doom.

I expected nothing less of you.

[He swings his legs a bit under the table.]

	[ Dirk is not in much of an ice cream mood, so he just takes a seat across from Caliborn without getting anything of his own. He raises an eyebrow. ] Uh-huh. Glad you could join us. Finally those pieces of shit actually nabbed someone who deserves to be serving a life sentence. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-03-15 07:10 am UTC (link)
	I don't need you or them to know how great my accomplishments are. And will be. [Because clearly, that was a compliment. Caliborn shoves a spoonful into his mouth and proceeds to talk around it.] But. Whatever. I don't plan on staying here forever. This is just a diversion. Where I get to kill you all early. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-03-15 07:13 am UTC (link)
	Rrrright. [ The heck is up with this guy. ] So what's your plan for escaping once you do kill us? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-03-15 07:19 am UTC (link)
	[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)

	smuppeteer 2013-03-15 07:25 am UTC (link)
	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)

	ophiuchus 2013-03-15 07:32 am UTC (link)
	[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)

	smuppeteer 2013-03-15 07:33 am UTC (link)
	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)
