Day 213; open action
[ Dirk is unaffected by the emotional manipulation going around, but one could be forgiven for assuming otherwise -- He's storming from place to place, driven and scowling and clearly a man on a mission.

Do feel free to stop him and ask what's up and why he's carrying that wooden sword around, or chat him up about the weather, but he's not going to have much to say. ]

	Does it matter. If a man wants to spend time. With his bro. Who is also about to murder a fool. Good. Fucking. Enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Good, because Dirk would have to either do some serious flash stepping, or shove Caliborn into a shrubbery and run. This cherub is here to stay.] Too bad that's not a real sword. But I guess. It's more ironic. To beat a man to death. With a thing that looks like another thing. That could be a faster death. Than a bludgeoning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hey, if you know where I can get me a real sword around here, do me a favor and tell me. [ Hh. ] I don't know if I'm actually gonna kill him. Getting punished is really inconvenient. [ That and he doesn't know if he has it in him. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-04-03 10:39 pm UTC (link)
	[Everyone is probably deeply glad that Caliborn does not, in fact, know where to get swords from.] Do you want me to do it. I'll do it. I don't even care. If I lose points. It's worth it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-04-03 10:40 pm UTC (link)
	Dude, you don't even know who it is or why I'm going after him. [ What is Dirk saying, when has that EVER mattered. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-04-03 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	[Seriously. Caliborn thinks he should be offended, and he is. Not mad, just offended. He scoffs.] Dude. Please. What do you take me for. But really. You want him dead. That's a special bonus reason. Worth a negative thousand points. And a follow-up celebration. Where I make my sister do the punishment for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-04-03 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	I'm touched. But no. I'm gonna handle this on my own. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-04-03 10:58 pm UTC (link)
	[Caliborn glares at him, and looks like he's about to argue, but then decides that no, watching Dirk murder someone is still a pretty great deal.] Fine. As long as I can watch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-04-03 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe. [ This is way too personal to let someone like Caliborn watch. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-04-03 11:19 pm UTC (link)
	No. Not maybe. That's unacceptable. "Yes. I will let you watch." That is what you are supposed to say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-04-03 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	Sure, on one condition. [ He stops walking and stares at Caliborn. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-04-03 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	[Caliborn stops and looks at him intensely, grinning.] Okay. Let's hear it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[His grin evaporates. Dirk is met with a stare.]

[Caliborn's gaze wanders down to the space between their feet. He is actually considering it.]

[Calliope gave HER name to people. Why not let Dirk have it? It's only fair. But it's still his name, and it's still really precious and powerful, and it still feels like rule breaking.]

What are you going to do with it. If I tell you.

[Caliborn comes to a decision, crosses his arms, and huffs.]

[He glares at Dirk, and then looks to some point off to the left.]

Don't you fucking dare tell anyone. Or I'll cut your tongue out. And feed it to a dolphin.

It's... [He needs one more moment to make sure he's deciding correctly. Fortunately, his feelings for Dirk and alcohol on top of his usual logic are making him think it's probably an ok idea.]

Caliborn.

	[ He doesn't really think he could do that, but whatever. He wasn't planning on telling anyone, anyway. It's about now that Dirk realizes something must be up. Under normal circumstances, uu would never have agreed -- the Rules are just too important to him. But you know what? Dirk has other priorities right now. ] Caliborn. Cool.

[It's so weird to have it said. Not a bad weird, necessarily? Which Caliborn can't actually tell if he likes or not. And then he doesn't like that he might like it, and suddenly there's a cherubic hate-love feedback loop going on behind those angry red eyes.]

[He makes up for it by getting a little louder and more abrasive.]

Shh! God! Shut up. Don't say it again. Unless we're alone. Together. In a secure place.

	Okay, 007. Your real name's safe with me. Now fuck off so I can go beat some shit into this asshole. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-04-03 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	What. [It's a sincere what for a moment, and then it does manage to catch up to him that Dirk tricked him.] No! Fuck you! You name-stealing slut. We have a deal, Dirk. A deal between bros. Does that shit. Mean nothing to you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-04-03 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	Not really. This is something personal, bro. Way more personal than your name or whatever, which, by the way, I wasn't actually expecting you to tell me. So no. You can't watch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He is angry and actually kind of upset, which is inherently and additionally upsetting, and being drunk on top of that means he's not really able to think clearly. Not that his thoughts are all that clear to begin with.]

Wow?! It's way more personal. Than a murder that will be announced tomorrow. So just. How dare you. Is that really. How you are supposed to handle these things? No. That's your answer. I just gave it to you. Look at how giving I am. My name. And an answer. To a question that shouldn't have been fucking asked.

I'm not even a fucking so-called "expert" at culture. Like that bitch wants to be. And I know. That is messed up.

In the non-sexy way I mean.

	ophiuchus 2013-04-04 12:16 am UTC (link)
	GOD DAMN. You know. Just what I'm talking about! Don't act like I'm making no sense. You fucking wannabe-bro. You... you... [Think faster, Caliborn. How do you get out of this with a minimal loss of more dignity, but while also adequately expressing your feelings.] [Think. Think...] [He decides to take swing at Dirk.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
