Day 215; ⛎ Voice
Pay attention, numbskulls. Drop what you’re doing. Especially you. Princess. [Caliborn pauses for effect. Even if he sounds like Calliope, his sentences are his trademark staccato and melodrama, with a side of harshness.]

I have won Euphemia’s game. With many questions to spare. Because. I found the object. [This broadcast is suddenly punctuated by the shriek of a harmonica being violently blown into, followed by an equally annoying shriek of laughter.]

She thought she could trick me. On account of my being a superior being who doesn't give a shit about music. Seriously. Who even cares about this blowing device. Not me. [He blows into it again, this time sliding it so that there is some semblance of actual music. Kind of.] What is that? Just noise. But. It is still the perfect accompaniment. To her tears of defeat.

Front and center, wench. Present yourself and admit it. To the entire prison.

That I win. And you. LOSE.

[There’s another harsh harmonica blow.]

Oh... [Calliope winces when she hears her full name spoken, but that is the whole of her reaction to that. She stands properly, crossing her arms over her chest. She's extra self-conscious without her hoodie to hide in, and even if the gesture does nothing to actually disguise her, it makes her feel a little better.]

[She turns to Piper, though she can't quite make eye contact thanks to pure unbridled shame.]

Hello. I'm terribly sorry.

	[Piper had never dealt with dual personalities like that, but she had dealt with possessions and spells that changed people. It was kind of the same thing, she supposed.] No. It wasn't your fault. You two will be okay, now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, nothing's your fault, girl. [ But she grins, and nods at Piper. ] Oh, yeah. We'll be plenty good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She nods in agreement.] Er, yes. [She wants to say more, but there's something completely disorienting about waking up in the middle of the walkway, a state that she considers to be half-naked.] I don't quite know what is going on, but thank you, miss... um. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My name's Piper. [She glanced over at Roxy.] Don't think I got your name in all this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ She gets the feeling Calliope feels weird being like this-- and hopes she can whisk her off somewhere she feels safer soon. ] Roxy. Nice to meet you, Piper, even if you were breaking up a lame fight. And Callie, I'll fill you in once we get inside. Sorry you had to wake up to this huge ordeal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Piper, then. The pleasure is mine. [She thinks.]

[Something occurs to her, and so the cherub pauses and looks up at Piper more directly. Even if she's being serious and firm, she's still polite and kind to a fault.] If you could, please don't tell anyone my full name? Callie is fine, but...

Well. No one is supposed to know it, or his. He'll likely be intolerable about this event, the next time he's awake.

At least it didn't get worse than lame. [She gave Roxy a knowing look. Piper wouldn't have let it get past lame anyway.

She nodded at Calliope.] Because of the switch thing? Sure.

[She could keep a secret.]

I'll leave you guys be for now, but, if you need anything, [And this was kind of towards Roxy in case the brother came back...] just let me know, okay? I don't just blow things up. I can freeze people in place. It's harmless, but it stops things from happening and gives people a chance to get away if they need to.

	[ Roxy boggles. ] That... is fucking cool. But I had no fucking clue that it was an explosion. I thought it was a gun or somethin'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-04-30 05:00 am UTC (link)
	[Calliope looks between Piper and Roxy, squinting in raw confusion.] Wait- what happened? [Talk about walking in on weird situations.] You exploded something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2013-04-30 06:55 pm UTC (link)
	Just the air above their heads. No one got hurt, and nothing got damaged. [No worries, Callie.] I've only had the ability to do it for a year, but I've gotten pretty good at it. It helps that I could freeze things before that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	retrogame 2013-04-30 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	[ Nervous laughter. ] Yeah, it's like she said. Just scared the crap outta us both. I didn't even know that shit was possible. Is it like... magic? A mutation? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-04-30 09:23 pm UTC (link)
	[Ah, the "m" word. Calliope, reassured by Piper's words and the lack of anything around them being on fire or in rubble, perks up.] It definitely sounds like magic! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2013-05-01 01:21 am UTC (link)
	I uh... [She laughed, but it was short and nervous.] Yeah. Kind of like that. [Before this could get deeper into an explanation Piper wasn't ready to give...] So, if you guys are good? [Innocents safe, bugger out before secret gets more obvious.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Roxy does notice the evading-- it's hard not to-- but doesn't pursue it. This is a stranger, and she's not gonna push with someone she barely knows. She smiles. ] See you around, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-01 02:19 am UTC (link)
	[Calliope both understands being cagey, and she's also disappointed at Piper's refusal to commit to an infodump. So she deflates a little bit, but only down to more normal levels of kindness.] Yes, thank you. Please take care, Piper. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2013-05-01 02:46 am UTC (link)
	You, too. [Sorry to disappoint, but maybe some other time! When Piper felt more comfortable with the idea. She gave them both a small smile and then headed off.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
