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.]

	[ Roxy marches after, clenching her fists the entire time. When they are properly outside, she gets ready to pummel the shit out of Caliborn-- cracking her knuckles, her neck. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He doesn't really bother getting ready, and tries to use her moment of cracking joints to his advantage.] [Which is to say, he whirls around and lunges at her, swinging wildly.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Roxy reacts with a little delay. So he does get a hold of her. She's drunkenly swinging her weight into him, trying to just knock him back a few paces. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Piper was outside when the two emerged. She frowned, staring at them for just long enough to see that they were duking something out. Considering her position on the DF, it was probably best to stop this before it got worse.] Hey! [She tried yelling to get their attention first.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Roxy does just plain not give a fuck. Sorry, Piper. She tries to trip Caliborn as she pushes him forward, wincing at the hits. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Caliborn stumbles, but tries to use that to ruin Roxy's footing, too.] [He spares Piper only a brief glance.] Oh good. An audience. [That isn't sarcasm.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Okay. Her initial instinct is to protect Roxy because, sorry Caliborn, but those were pretty demonic looking features there. However, if there was one thing Piper'd learned in her time here, it was that not everyone who looked demonic actually was. Plus, demons could be shapeshifters, so Roxy wasn't off the hook, either.]

Alright. [Annoyed, Piper pushed her hands forward in a sharp quick movement with her fingers spread just a little and set off a small explosion right over their heads.] Quit it!

	Wh-- [ Roxy startles, distracted and wide-eyed just in time to get tripped. She's drunk, after all. So she hits the concrete hard, skinning her forearms as she tries to catch herself. ] Fuck. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-04-27 05:48 am UTC (link)
	[Caliborn jumps backward, looking around wildly for the source of the explosion. He suspects gunfire first, and his instinct is to get out of the line of danger.] [Suffice to say, after a moment of wild-eyed searching the area, he looks back at Piper.] Hey. You. What the fuck. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll tell you. I tried to get your attention and stop you from wrecking the place. There are others around who maybe don't want to get hurt. You got a problem, solve it like civilized people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Roxy slowly climbs to her feet, looking for the source of that explosion and finding it to be a woman.

A little slurred, because she feels mega dizzy: ]

Civilized people problem solving don't work on this little creep. He googly-eyed the shit out of me, called my main girl ugly, and referred to us as fuckin' streetwalkers! The nerve of this guy. Uncool, uncouth, unlikeable.

[Caliborn just laughs Roxy off and makes a dismissive gesture. He's somewhat intentionally ignoring Piper, because damn pissing Roxy off is fun. But he's definitely still aware that she's there.]

Mere words. I believe. You struck first? All I did was walk into the hallway. I didn't even strike back. You had your chance. To walk away.

But no. You just had to. You violent little harlot.

	[This was going no where fast. Piper sighed.] Look, you two. Either walk away from each other, or I'll make you stop it. [It was like dealing with children!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	retrogame 2013-04-27 06:06 am UTC (link)
	[ She gestures to Caliborn when he says as he does, throwing her hands into the air. ] You see? You see?? I didn't do anything wrong. I just stood up for my mother fucking honor. [ And then, directed at Caliborn: ] Hey, shitstain! I'm gonna say your sister's name. I'm gonna do it. You're gonna fall stone-cold asleep and there's nothing you can do about it.

[While Caliborn was very much just messing around before, that legitimately pisses him off. It's a 180 degree turn in his temperament, going from regular nasty to actually angry nasty.]

Don't you fucking dare. Especially not. In front of this-

[Caliborn pauses and surveys Piper. He doesn't want to use up all his good words on someone who could make things explode, if she really was to blame for that.]

Hey. Intervention bitch. Tell her. Not to say my sister's name. Do it.

Why? Is your sister worse than you?

[Honestly? Piper was kind of curious. She crossed her arms, watching the two of them.]

You guys can insult each other all you want, call each other names. It's the fist fighting that I care about.

[Piper wasn't really looking to intervene, actually. If they wanted to scream at each other, they were perfectly fine doing that. It was when things got violent that Piper felt it was time to do something.]

	[ Magic is what happens. Roxy mouths Calliope's name, slowly... slowly.... ] Caaaaalllliiooooooope. CalliecallieALLYOHPE. Calliope! [ She also steps closer so she can try and catch the cherub when he falls. She does not want her to knock her head on the cement. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Caliborn grinned at what Piper said and was about to answer in affirmative. And then his attention snapped to Roxy, managing a half-hearted double bird as he fell fast asleep, and into Roxy's waiting arms.] [Snoozeville.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ She catches the cherub, and bursts into laughter. She tugs Calliope close, just to be sure she's not gonna drop her. ]

I don't fucking know. It just. They're like... they live in the same body. Him and his sister. So... saying their names makes em fall asleep? Don't get it, don't pretend to get it, but if it works...

Things should be okay now. Calliope's a sweet girl, and one of my best friends. Thanks for stepping in-- I wasn't seeing straight. Laying a little heavy on the sauce today, and I can't stand him.

Right. Okay. [Well, at least he wasn't the source of all evil or something...

Woah. Color changing for sure. Piper hadn't realized she was staring, but, sure enough, the face was changing... well, a little. Colors, anyway.]

I'll just stick around until she wakes up.

[Just to be sure. She'd freeze people if things got crazy. So far, though, she hadn't needed to use it on people here. That was pretty lucky, all things considered.]

[Calliope makes a soft groaning sound, groggy as all get-out from the sudden wake-up call.]

[She blinks, stares at Roxy, and then immediately snaps out of it when she grows concerned that she was forced awake due to Bad Things going down. She grips Roxy's shoulder to steady herself.]

[Calliope's voice is identical to Caliborn's, except that she doesn't sound like an asshole. Also, with more of an inexplicable British accent.]

Oh bloody hell! Are you okay, Roxy? Is anyone hurt?!
