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. ]

	[ She doesn't entirely disagree. It's a little trusting of her to believe what he says about punishments, which she does not like-- but he seems the type to flee from shit he knows is bad. And also, she plain doesn't mind sitting and watching the blaze. Damara decides to ask her remaining question. ] You have a sister? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Caliborn glances over at Damara, and then back to the fire.] Un-fucking-fortunately. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you dislike her? Tell me about her. [ She's wondering how terrible his sister must be, if she grew up with a brother like this. Is she as petulant?? As short-tempered?? As easily squicked out? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[No, Damara. It's so much worse than that.]

I hate her. More than I hate anyone or anything else. [Caliborn pauses, because there's a lot he shouldn't say about the game. But he can probably make fun of her on every other level.]

She's an ugly, snooty, lime-blooded bitch. Who likes to "socialize." And "make friends." And. She thinks that she's better than me. For a couple of bullshit reasons. That hold no water.

Also. Most disgustingly. She wants to be a troll. Which. With her face? Would be an improvement. But not as much of an improvement. As multiple stab wounds. To the torso.

	[ Wow, sounding a little spades-y there, Caliborn. Damara keeps that little observation to herself, though. ] Not my type, either. Socializing is only a way to pass the time, and friendship is for suckers. Why haven't you killed her yet? I can help you hide the body. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Don't underestimate me. I tried. And am still. Looking for a new strategy. To win. That does not involve stabbing moon bodies.

[Caliborn really, really hates being so casual about it. But apparently all the alphas know, and the wardens know, and he can't imagine who else probably knows because no one around here can keep their damn mouths shut.]

[And also, if he doesn't say something, Damara might try to stab Calliope, which is only bad for him for the reasons he's about to make obvious. He tries to sound bolder than he feels about being so damn open about shit that shouldn't be anyone's business.]

Since no one in this trap can respect rules and keep secrets. And you know my name. I'll tell you something. That I still don't want spread around. No matter how bad all the uncouth filth is about keeping quiet.

That whore is stuck in my skull. And uses the body. For all her shameless "living" and "breathing." When I'm asleep.

[ Damara takes a second to pull out a cigarette, light it, and take an initial drag. She digests that, and watches the fire burn. The glass windows of the building are creaking, and the fire has trailed up the walls.

Was this sister the girl Aranea was searching for? Maybe. ]

I see. If you need help with that. I'll do what you tell me to. And I'll keep the information locked away.

[ She'd honestly wonder to herself why she's offering to do stuff like that for Caliborn-- were he not baby Lord English. She figures if she helps him now, she'll have an in later. ]

Is there anything else I should know? About this all. Anything I should avoid doing, or I should do.

[Caliborn isn't sure why she's offering to do stuff for Caliborn. Even if he's trying to play it cool, this is all happening really fast.]

Don't say my name to her. Unless. I arrange for it ahead of time. [He figures that Calliope owes him a few; and he's going to save every last one of those forced awakenings for strategic use. Which he hasn't figured out yet, but it can't hurt to have a few cards up his sleeve.]

Otherwise. Let's play it close. And keep my identity on the down-low. For now. You and I. Are "merely" associates in petty crime. For our amusement. And their annoyance.

These morons would probably piss themselves in fear. And then try to stab me. Once they know just how fucking great and terrible I will become?

I'm not a damn god tier yet. We're avoiding it.

	[ She nods shallowly, still not looking away from the blaze. ] The secret has been put in my personal toolbox. It will not be seen. Petty crime is the name of the game. And. Who is Lord English? I don't know-- never heard of him. [ Blowing smoke out her nose, she finally looks over at him again. Damara smiles, malicious. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[It's the smoke that catches his attention. Derek's been spending a lot more time on patrol lately because it keeps his mind off other things, keeps him from having to confront other things. He runs toward the burning building, unsure of why or how it could happen. Then he spots the two standing out front and moves over to them.]

What happened? [Yes, he looks down to that cigarette in her hand.]

	[Caliborn glances over at the man. Turns the corners of his mouth up in a smirk, exposing more of his pointy green teeth.] [He looks the man over with a sweep of his bright red eyes before answering.] Funny how you ask. When you're hairless. Not eyeless. What does it look like, baldy. The building. Caught fire. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Caliborn, you are so embarrassing. Damara looks the human over too, though. The fire is pretty fucking bright by now, and burning well. ] Are you going to try and put it out? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[The blaze is already too big for Derek to do much of anything about it all by himself. There are hydrants around but one inmate can't work them. So he really isn't sure what he can do.]

Yeah, but hos did it start? [This prison is kept under too tight of wraps for this to be an accident. See how nice he is, ignoring all the snark for the moment to try to keep a gathering crowd away from the burning building?]

	[Poor Derek. If Calliope was the one here and awake, she would be apologizing profusely for her brother's behavior. Alas, Caliborn is the one currently in attendance over this mess, and he is grinning like the stupid little shit he is.] The usual way?? Probably with a spark or open flame. Some fuel.
