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!))

[That sounds very fascinating to her. An alien? She liked reading fantasy and science fiction, but never thought she would meet a real alien. And she understand what it's like to alone with only one other person.] It must have been very lonely. [But she doesn't sound sad.]

But since we're here now you can read anything you like.

[Calliope actually appreciates the lack of pity. Even if she herself didn't relish it, the situation wasn't all bad.]

It was lonely. But it's alright. My species is adapted to the circumstance, and our planet was so very peaceful.

[Then, with a giggle.] But short on reading material. You're quite right about that. If they have a copy of your book, I'd like to read it!

If I see it, I will get it for you. The books change every three days, but you can read it in that amount of time, I think. [Klara pauses then.] ...I don't know your name!

[She can't give her the book if she doesn't know who she is.]

I certainly can!

[She can't help but smile a little wider. Calliope wishes it were feasible for her to give her full name to just anyone, but fortunately, the nickname version does just fine.]

Please call me Callie. What's your name, dear?

[She tightens her grip on the books she's still holding, and it's such a happy elated feeling, she wonders if she could burst from it.]

Klara. I'm Klara. I'm happy to meet you, Callie. I haven't spoken to someone who likes books as much as I do in...a long time.

The pleasure is mine, Klara! [And it really is. This human is around the age of those she's used to talking to, and she seems really sweet and thoughtful. Her favorite kind of person overall.]

[She clasps her own hands together, pleased as punch.]


That's much too bad! In that case, I'll be happy to talk to you and compare notes about books anytime!

[She's very excited, to the point Klara may look like she's almost bouncing on the balls of her feet.]

We could--um--do a book club? Or see if there is one! And then we could read the same book and talk about it. We had a book club at my school. [It was one of the few extra curricular activities she enjoyed before--everything.]

[Calliope giggles at her enthusiasm. It's infectious.]

I heard someone named Tear advertising one a few days ago! It sounds like quite a lot of fun.

[Deflating slightly, though since she was giddy to begin with, it's now more of a normal tone.] But it sounds like a lot of people would be interested in attending, so I probably shouldn't go. I don't want to be a distraction, after all!

Then we could maybe...go. [Even when she's this upbeat and happy, the awkward shyness won't leave her.]

You won't be a distraction! We're all different here. I'm new. If you don't distract me then, why would anyone else be? We can go together...if you want to?

[Calliope blinks in surprise at that offer. And also at the news that her appearance isn't the least bit distracting to Klara.]

Really...?

I mean, I want to, absolutely. But you're certain about your offer?

[Klara may have been a bit more distracted if she wasn't in such a happy social mood today, but then not as much as someone from a completely normal world. If vampires can exist, why not green people? Especially if they are as nice as Callie.]

Yes! [She gets a little closer and her voice raises a bit--enough that Klara leans back, flushing, but not ashamed.] I think--if we go together we won't be alone? We'll already know someone there. Isn't that better than not going?

[She doesn't mind the loud or the proximity, even if she feels a little nervous about it. Not because of Klara, just because she's not used to having people near her like that.]

[But she thinks about what the girl has to say, and then slowly nods.]


You know what? You're right.

And if I feel overwhelmed or frighten someone, I can just hide behind another shelf. [That was as much sincere as it was meant to be a joke at her own expense.]

You can hide behind me. [Eric had said she didn't have to be a monster if she didn't want to be. Maybe this...looking out for Callie could help her feel like he was right. Just don't mind how tiny she is.]

If it's too much we can leave. I'm not...I don't do well in crowds either, so it'll be different for both of us.

[Knowing that Klara has troubles as well is kind of reassuring, in an odd way. Not that Calliope thinks it's fair for the girl to struggle, but Klara is in a better position to understand than she thought.]

[But she's smiling at the hiding suggestion. Even if she's tiny, Calliope can still crouch.]


Alright! I will.

And if you feel overwhelmed by the crowd, we can both leave together.

[This is making her feel so much more confident than Klara ever normally feels. It's like she's suddenly the strong protector, which she's never been before. She likes this feeling.]

Good. Do you know where um...Tear--if having the book club? Can I ask her?

[Calliope folds her hands behind her back, swaying a bit out of thoughtfulness.]

I can't recall, I'm afraid. But I'm sure you could ask her!

I'm not even sure if they've gotten together for the first meeting. She was checking on interest when I spoke with her, but she seemed to have enough.

I have talked to her before. If...If I want I could ask her. [She's shy about it, but it's such a simple thing, isn't it? Shouldn't she be able to speak to people if she wants to?]

I can call you after I do.
