Mingle: Event Kick-Off
[ It was mid-morning. The sky was clear and it was a (not so) very blustery day. It was cool but it was always cool. It was neither too warm nor too hot.

Lukewarm.

And that was just how Bak preferred it. Especially since he had in hand his very important, extra special concoction of wonderful forgetfulness on hand! Bak could stand teasing, but even this was getting ridiculous.

Hefting the bag a little higher so it fit snug into the crook between elbow and shoulder, he stepped off into wild world of Marinanova and promptly had to grab onto his hat.

Opps. He always forgot about that step down.

Taking another step, he nearly tripped again, this time on a rock. Frowning, Bak starred at the offending piece of debris and then he kicked it.

And yelped.

And then held his foot, dropping his bag in a near blinding rush of ”Eeeek!” as he dived for the paper bag, watching as with a POOF half of the contents disappeared into the wind, leaving him sneezing and dazed on the ground wondering what the heck had just happened. Clearly, his own formula had been getting the best of him. It happens when one sneaky scientist messes with the formula and Bak spent the better part of the morning putting the final touches of the mixture together.

Heightened emotions indeed.

Bak will rue this day assuming he survived it. ]

((ooc: Consider this post an open mingle and the start of the Marina Feelings Roulette Event! Creating your own posts is, as always, highly encouraged. And, unless you got an extra hefty dose of it right off the bat (re: by being in proximity to Bak when it happened) feelings should gradually start to go haywire later in the day with strongest feelings in the afternoon and tapering off again as evening descends. For more info on the details, please go here. Have fun!))

[Around noon, Caliborn can be found roaming around the dome aimlessly, reeking of alcohol. Really, he's at least half searching for Dirk, but he also is just trying to find an excuse to be around people. Even if it means tormenting them. Especially, really. He just doesn't want to go back to his apartment and sit around.]

--

[Later that afternoon, Calliope is out and about instead, though rather more reserved now that the alcohol has worn off and she's feeling her very first little hangover. She's not actively seeking company when she goes to the Sizzle and Sear for dinner, or to the art center afterward. But still, she'll be kind and welcoming to anyone who approaches.]

[ at first he thinks the cherub he sees in the street is caliborn, but upon closer inspection— inspection that calliope will probably notice as it occurs, what with the particular brand of eye-narrowing, head-tilting scrutiny that he is employing— he realizes that it must be the sister and decides to call her out. ]

Have you had any luck with that dear brother of yours?

[When he started squinting at her, she'd felt the urge to run, and in fact, her pace quickened.]

[And then the words out of his mouth register, and Calliope stops abruptly. Because what the hell.]

[No, seriously, what the hell. She turns and looks at him. His voice is very familiar, so she knows they've talked. Is this the weird guy?]

He's... settling down a bit, if that's what you mean.

[ this would indeed be the weird guy, staring at her with his weird eyes. he can't help that he's never seen a humanoid species quite like this before; he did get to glimpse caliborn, but this is different— this is in the flesh. ]

How very promising. [ he nods, not terribly sincerely. he has more pressing things to address. ] May I ask a thing of you? [ waiting for permission after asking it? no. that's for losers. ]

Has he shared any anecdotes with you of a... feline variety, perhaps?

	[She feels terribly self-conscious with his eyes on her like that. She barely even notices the weird shocking blue, and even then, she refrains from staring back. It's not polite.] [Calliope tosses her attention into his question.] Ummm. He said he met a terribly rude cat, yes. By his description! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ polite? he hardly knows the meaning of the word. but her response diverts his attention elsewhere— to covering his grinning mouth demurely in attempt to not laugh his ass right off. ] Ah-h-h! Yes, that would be me. [ whispering loudly and conspiratorially, he adds: ] I am not actually a cat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She leans back a bit, blinking. Her eyelashes flutter.] So I see! [That begs some rather obvious questions.] Were you just messing about with him, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_eyed 2013-04-14 04:56 am UTC (link)
	So to speak. [ a small chuckle escapes him, though what nearly slipped out was a barking laugh. ] He insisted that I show a face to pair with my voice. I complied. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Calliope can't help but smile at that. She may be invested in taming the asshole, but it's still nice to have some catharsis, now and then.] He's going to be furious. ...if he ever figures it out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You needn't worry: the probability of such a thing happening is extremely low. Unless, of course, someone helps him to draw such conclusions. [ the look on his face clearly says that someone certainly would not be doing anything like that. perish the thought! ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-04-14 05:15 am UTC (link)
	If anyone were to do such a thing, it would not be me! A little more diversity in his life would help him grow as a person, I'm sure. [She giggles and stuffs her hands deeper into her hoodie pockets.] It's also a fantastic prankster's gambit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Caliborn turns and gives him the stink-eye, which for Caliborn is pretty much one of his two default expressions. It is accompanied by a gentle swaying in an imaginary breeze.] What kind of question is that. Be more specific. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You stink like an old drunk. Ever heard of a shower? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He snorts, because it's pretty much a ridiculous suggestion, as far as Caliborn is concerned.] Is it normal. To get wet and scandalously unclad? Immediately after drinking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
