[ VOICE ]

Talk to me.

Home remedies for sleeplessness. What do you do? Tell me. I have nothing in my ears, nothing to do. No story or recipe is too boring.

Or tell me about your sex life, if that's any better.

[ ACTION ]

[ It's late out. Damara can't sleep. It's as simple as that: she wanders through the dome craving a cigarette, walking until she feels tired. You can catch her pretty much anywhere. ]

[Caliborn also gets bored when most people are asleep, though he is starting to form some plans around at least making their nights a little less pleasant. For now, though, he's going to the arcade to spend his time awake.]

[And then he spots Damara, and he immediately peps up. A chance to bother a troll in person. He can't tell if she's god tier or not, but he hopes she is so that he can try to pull her wings off.]

[This has been a brief look at thoughts Caliborn has as he rapidly approaches a pretty girl.]

Hey. You. Damara bitch.

Give me your lighter.

	[ Damara hears his voice before she sees him, and is halfway to rolling her eyes when she turns around. Genuine surprise sticks to her face, and she stares in silence for a good minute. The resemblance is uncanny. She manages to collect herself enough to actually reply coherently: ] Why? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Caliborn smirks at seeing her like that, thinking that she was overwhelmed by horror and disgust. He's glad. That's perfectly fine.] [He extends his hand, palm up, and flexes his fingers in a gimme motion.] To burn shit down. Obviously. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ This kid. Holy shit. Damara is still kind of fucking surprised. But her face falls back into something blank, but her lips quirk upwards. She can confirm what is plain to see, or... She produces her lighter, and gives it to him. ] Do you know how to set a building on fire? I can teach you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-06 03:38 am UTC (link)
	[Caliborn pauses, if only because he was maybe not expecting her to enable him like that.] Fire is fire. You just. Make it happen. No tutorial necessary. [...] Which one should we do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_edgeplay627 2013-05-06 03:45 am UTC (link)
	[ She shakes her head. ] No. Burning is an art. You must treat it with a certain respect. And it will destroy efficiently. Let's find some gas to start with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-06 03:59 am UTC (link)
	[Caliborn sighs, mostly because this is not the quick and easy fireball he was hoping for, but he'll run with it because the night still holds the promise of wanton destruction.] Fine. I'll indulge you. But. You'd better show me the best fucking fire. I've ever seen. And trust me. I'm not easy to impress. When it comes to fire. The pressure. Is on.

	[ Damara decides to ask now. They figured out his name a while ago-- relatively speaking, anyways. Lord English was just some sort of title, after all. ] Caliborn, right? Caliborn, I will show you fire. Fire like you have never seen before. We will set somewhere completely ablaze and settle back and watch the skyline fall apart. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Caliborn would have really liked the words coming out of her mouth, if he hadn't gotten hyper-focused on what she prefaced the entire sentence with.]

[His face goes from shocked to enraged. His hand lashes out and grabs at her arm, squeezing it as uncomfortably tight as he can.]

How the fuck. Do you know my name. And who gave you the right to say it.

Tell me right now. Or I'll tear your arm off.

	[ She flinches, but tries to disguise that by blowing smoke in his face. Well, that confirms a lot. ] I've seen you before. You were older; taller, broader. An overcoat in cairo, and your mastery of your aspect far surpassed mine. You were killing ghosts in the midst of paradox space. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[COUGH SPUTTER-]

[ ]

[ ? ]

[ ... ]

[Oh HELL yes.]

[Caliborn recovers from the smoke, his malicious look turning outright giddy without losing any of the edge. He releases Damara, though he tries to be rough about it. He's showing all his teeth and he looks like he could explode with ill-intent.]

I knew it.

My crimes list. It was undeniable. That I would become as great and terrible. To my fullest potential.

Tell me more. I don't fucking care about "spoilers." So don't you dare. Start with that.

[ She doesn't laugh, but she comes close. His giddiness is very childlike, not at all like the behemoth of a man she watched kill the unkillable. It kinda makes sense. He's just a little guy right now. ]

Spoilers are meaningless. From a witch of time to a lord of time, I'll tell you. I have been dead long. I have learned a lot through mere exposure.

You gather many around you. Many to serve you. Many to fear you. And you destroy anything you can. I want to destroy, too. I want to help you do that. I can be your ally.

Do you want to hear what you do to my dancestor's homeland? A place called Alternia.

[He chafes at the thought of needing, much less wanting, allies. It's not something he wants to accept is true, because the very idea makes his skin crawl.]

[On the other hand, if they're anything like this spooky chick, willing and ready to cause some serious damage, then that's at least one small upside to the gross idea.]

Not so fast. You're going to prove your allegiance to me. By doing this fire thing. Let's go.

[Caliborn normally hates hearing about trolls, but on the other hand.]

You will tell me about my atrocities. As we look for fuel.

[ She begins to look around, rifling casually along. She even tries some doors in hope something is unlocked. Even certain cleaning supplies could work nicely. ]

You use a woman to do the dirty work, but through your orders, she weaves violence into the very core of troll society. There is death-- too much to count. You ignite class warfare, the practice of culling the weak. You inspire fear into the hearts of some trolls, but wonder in others.

There is a church dedicated to you, more or less.

	[Caliborn takes a moment to think about all of this. It's perfect. He already knows why he does it. That wasn't even a question in his mind.] [He starts laughing giddily at knowing he can completely shatter Calliope with this knowledge, if he so chooses.] Good. Good!! Your filthy race. Deserves every single bit. Of that punishment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ow. [He hops, rubbing his shin for a brief moment before giving her a dirty look.] Even if it turns out. That you're the only tolerable troll in paradox space. You're still gross. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-06 05:28 am UTC (link)
	Yes. Problem? [Caliborn looks around and sees the art center, and realizes that they're probably just going to keep wandering around in aimless lady circles if he doesn't take matters into his own hands.] [He starts toward it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He frowns, glancing at her over his shoulder.] Yeah, I know. Don't. [Caliborn shoves his way into the arts center, heading to where they keep the paint supplies.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Caliborn is, despite everything he claims, not really an artist. But he does know he smelled noxious chemicals, and that's not something you soon forget when you're a murderous teen boy just biding his time.]

[He starts scratching around to try and find them again.]

I'll hurt you. I'll make you bleed. Until you stop running your whore mouth. Because you're too busy begging for mercy.

	[ She digs around. Paint thinner is flammable. Maybe they can find a can of that. She squats down, going through a shelf. ] Ahh, but. Caliborn. I like it rough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He stops, feeling a thrill run down his spine. It is one of both disgust and intrigue. Mostly disgust, but still.]

[Caliborn gets over it, or at least over the part that wasn't related to his name being said again.]

You will stop saying my name. The only other people who know it. Are my "sister." And the Dirk human. And the latter. Is because he tricked me maliciously. While I was compromised. By alcohol.

No one else gets to know. The rule-bending. Ends now.
