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. ]

	[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)

	[ She continues to follow after, looking around for anything that seems flammable. ] What will you do if I decide to? Will you run away? (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.

	[ She laughs, and finds a can of something. She pulls it out, and there it is: paint thinner. She stands upright and sloshes it around in the can. And then there's another can, so she grabs that shit too. Never enough. ] I can keep secrets. I found something that will catch. Let's go. Carry this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Good.

[It's a multi-purpose statement, and Caliborn is more than happy to carry the incredibly flammable paint supplies. Knowing that he bears the fire-starting fluid is a powerful feeling.]

[He is also kind of dumb.]

I have made my decision. The place with all the dumb beasts. That will be our target. We will transform it into a death trap. An oven of screaming innocents. Truly befitting of its name.

"The Pet Cafe."

	[ That's the stupidest idea ever, Caliborn. Damara is quick to tell him off, and to leave the art center. ] No. That won't get any people. Animals are small. Harmless. Who cares about them. Let's burn something that can hurt people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-06 06:07 am UTC (link)
	[Caliborn glares at her, because he thought his little impromptu decision was really good. Also, Damara isn't being very good at this "loyal follower" thing.] Soft bitch. Fine. But I insist. Our target will be close enough. That all the drooling cats. And fuzzy rabbits. Will smell the smoke. And know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_edgeplay627 2013-05-06 06:11 am UTC (link)
	[ Damara rolls her eyes. ] Not "soft"-- not wasteful. We probably won't get a second chance, if the enforcement here is any good. So. We make this a good one. Pick a building, and I'll start. You can drop the match when I'm done. [ She stomps on her cigarette butt. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-06 02:59 pm UTC (link)
	[Caliborn rolls his eyes right back at her, even though he actually didn't know that she did it to begin with.] This once. Since you are showing me something new. I'll allow you to be insolent. But there will be no lenience. Once I have mastered fire starting for myself. Let's fucking go already. [Never mind that they're already walking toward Sector 1.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I will douse you if you do not behave.

[ She just approaches a building at random, examining it all and deciding to try the door. It opens, and she steps inside. Pretty much instantly she's walking across the room, laying down paint thinner in a trail along the walls. She soaks a piece of wood furniture, and tosses the empty to one side.

The fumes are strong, but she's not done just yet. ]

You make a trail, so it all lights up in one go. Give me the other can.

	[He forks it over, glowering the entire time. The smell is nice and dangerous, but he's going to at least sulk out of the principle of the thing until the fire gets started.] Harpy ass ho. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

What's that? My ass? You wish to touch it? Be my guest.

[ She backs herself up towards him, stooping over so her skirt rides up, but doesn't actually touch him and it lasts maybe five seconds before she resumes.

Laughing, she draws a line into the next room, circling over and back to the entrance. And a little bit out the door, too, just so they can stay safely out. She then gestures for him to come stand at the doorway, and takes out a book of matches. ]

Here. Drop it, so you don't burn yourself.

[Caliborn recoils from her rear, though he does not look away.]

Filthy.

[He gives her another nasty look, and then the mood evaporates as soon as the preparations are complete, and. Yes. Someone has given the bad cherub matches. This is quite literally the worst idea.]

[It takes him a try or two in order to strike a flame, because he's not used to the friction and speed needed to do it right the first time. But it works, and he grins as he looks at the tiny bit of fire.]

[Definitely not impressive on its own. But the grin stays even as he drops the match onto the trail of paint thinner.]

	[ The trail catches fire almost instantly. She was generous with the paint thinner, so it's thoroughly soaked-- the trail quickly spreads. The smoke is thick as wood varnish and paint thinner and hardwood flooring alike catches. She doesn't cough, but she does take a step back. ] What do you think? Nice, isn't it? A good warm glow.

	[Caliborn thinks it's not as awesome a fireball as his sun, but at least it means that they've completely fucked something up and caused trouble for the wardens. And maybe other people.] Adequate. Not as good as destroying everything. In the entirety of the prison. But. This will do. As a small but heartfelt gesture. A "fuck you." From us. To everyone else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_edgeplay627 2013-05-06 04:32 pm UTC (link)
	[ She actually grins at that, watching it burn. ] Let this be the start of our menace. And also. A partnership. [ Damara holds her hand out to shake. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Caliborn stares at her hand for a fraction of a moment as it registers what she's going for.]

[Ah yes. The "handshake" ritual. It's a bad gesture for all its intimacy and the implied camaraderie. Maybe it's the way the flames crackle and smoke starts to fill the air around them. Maybe it's the knowledge that he gets to spend the rest of his life fucking over trolls and women and literally everything in paradox space. Maybe it's the fumes from carrying paint thinner across the dome. Whatever the cause, he feels that maybe he can make an exception for it. Just this once.]

It will be. Sooooooooooo. Teeeeeeerrible.

[He grabs her hand for the shake. And squeezes as hard as he can.]

[Satisfied with causing her some pain, he lets her hand go. Whatever his future self accomplishes, he's still a dumb little babby with basically no experience getting along with anyone, and so he's already thinking about all the ways he can exploit her "trust."]

[At least until she reminds him that they need to stop staring at the goddamn fire and leave.]

What.

What could they possibly do to us. That would be incentive enough. To leave.

	[ Very mature, Caliborn. ] They could lock us up. Get us in shit. Do you want to deal with a punishment? I don't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-06 04:54 pm UTC (link)
	Haa. As if being locked up is anything new. Listen up, Damara. Unplug your troll hearing holes. We can do. Anything. Their punishments. Are a complete joke. [Trying to mock Veridical.] "Make your bitch sister. Sweep the beach. For three hours." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_edgeplay627 2013-05-06 04:57 pm UTC (link)
	[ She kind of considers that for a second, and starts walking away. The smoke is starting to get to her. She wants to ask about his sister, and also for more detail on the punishments. But instead, she settles back on a nearby bench, crosses her legs, and grins. ] Then let's watch them put it out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-06 05:01 pm UTC (link)
	[Caliborn grins widely when she clearly sees it his way. Which is the right way, naturally. What good is it to go to all this trouble to set a fire, and not even watch the damage and scramble and aftermath?] [He takes a seat on the other end of the same bench, letting his arms drape off the back of it. The cherub stretches his legs out in front of him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
