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.]

	I-I mean I'm concerned by how you seem to...think so poorly of everyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Caliborn pauses, and then sighs.] Buzzkill. Look. I've tried to explain to others. About why I hate every last one of you. It turns out. I am only allotted so many gratuitous and obvious explanations. Which fall on deaf ears. And on blind eyes. In one day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He's still be very rude, but...at least things have calmed down a bit. Miranda almost wants to sigh out loud.] ...That's a lot of feelings to have toward people you barely know. You must be someone who feels things very intensely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-03 03:43 pm UTC (link)
	Whoa. My feelings are literally none of your business. I can think of nothing that is less your business. [A brief pause.] Okay. I can, actually. But, still. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I-I wasn't trying to make them my business. It's just...usually people don't dislike each other so much when they've only first met them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Haa haa haa. You clearly underestimate me. [Caliborn that's not something to chuckle at.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverenoughtime 2013-05-07 04:01 pm UTC (link)
	[Now Miranda is just...baffled.] Do you...choose to dislike people that much then? Why when you don't know them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Caliborn sighs out all the hot air left over from the way Miranda's questions deflate him.] You're just asking the same thing. That I refused to answer. But in different words. As stubborn as you are. I suspect your reaction will be. Exactly the same. As theirs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverenoughtime 2013-05-07 04:08 pm UTC (link)
	Oh I'm sorry! [She's not trying to pressure him into anything.] I-It's not really my place to ask, I just thought...it's easier to get to know people first before deciding whether you like them or not. So that um--well, you at least have a first impression to go on. It's still your choice. [Just not one she can wrap her head around.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-07 04:33 pm UTC (link)
	[He does not accept the apology.] Look. I don't need any kind of "personal" impression. To have an opinion. You're making the grave mistake of thinking that I'm anything like you. Which. Is patently false. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverenoughtime 2013-05-07 04:36 pm UTC (link)
	Well--you're a person. Who has opinions and a mind of his own. We're all different, but...we're still people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Here we go again. [But Caliborn perks up, because he got an idea.]

You're right. I am different. And you are different.

But. What you fail to understand. Is that I am more different. Than you can possibly. Ever imagine.

[And now he activates a filtered video feed, grinning at her with his fangy green teeth and his piercing red eyes.]

[...Which have those arguably adorable eyelashes. But still. Alien.]

[Miranda blinks, surprised and a little confused. He's...green. With red cheeks. A little surprising, but not much.] I'm sorry...but I don't understand what's wrong. You're um...not from Earth, I take it, but there's nothing wrong with that. There are plenty of people like that here.

[And she knows plenty of rather strange looking people back home. Her General, Socalo, would likely approve of the fangs.]

	[His expression falls into a look of petulant annoyance.] What the fuck is wrong with you people. Are you blind. Be horrified. This is the face. Of a monster. [He jabs a claw-tipped finger at himself and pouts.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[private video] neverenoughtime 2013-05-07 05:34 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sorry? [She is very unsure what she's apologizing for.] You don't look like a monster to me. Monsters...look very different in my world. [Akuma are a lot scarier than a boy who is green with cheeks like that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[private video] ophiuchus 2013-05-10 03:41 pm UTC (link)
	You should be sorry. [Not that he'll accept the apology this time, either.] What could they possibly look like. If you don't even scream a little. At this grim visage. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[private video] neverenoughtime 2013-05-21 02:28 am UTC (link)
	Ah well...clowns and demons with horns and sharp teeth or without any face at all. Akuma come in all sorts and they are all terrifying. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[private video] ophiuchus 2013-05-21 02:42 am UTC (link)
	[He sighs and drops his hand from his chin with a dramatic thump, giving her a look. That description didn't really do a lot to impress him, and he makes sure she knows it. Aside from the "no face" bit, they sound like his sister's stupid trolls and those losers are pretty much the opposite of scary.] Do they at least. Do things. That aren't boring.

	[Her tone is a lot less confused and more serious.] They kill people and eat their souls. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[private video] ophiuchus 2013-06-18 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	[Caliborn stares at her for a moment, then grins slowly and rests his chin on his hand.] No shit? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[private video] neverenoughtime 2013-07-02 07:48 pm UTC (link)
	[Why does he look so...pleased by that.] Yes. That's why we have to exorcise them so they can't kill more people. They're...terrible things. (Reply to this) (Parent)
