Day 220; ⛎ | Video
[Caliborn is somewhere behind the recording apparatus of his communicator. All that is visible is a blank Sector 2 apartment wall.]

Have you buried yourself in some closet. Wrapped in a blanket. Hoping for the big scary monster to go away. Or maybe you've just distracted yourself? With some bullshit I probably don't care about. So don't share.

Then, hey.

Let. Me. Help.

[Now it's pointing out the window, soaking in a full view of the occasional bit of tentacle. The sounds are not too strong yet, but that's why Caliborn is a helper. His androgynous, sharply dramatic voice intones in time with the pounding.]

Clang.

Clang.

Clang.

[And then he turns the camera around on himself, but only so that the lower half of his face is visible. The part with the lopsided and mean toothy grin, and the incoherently adorable red bowtie.]

How long. Until it breaks through. And we all die?

Do you think it will eat us. Or does it just. Want to taste. Your fear?

	Dirk. Are you afraid. On this auspicious. Horrorterror Attack Day? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Have you already forgotten which planet I dream on? I see shit like this every damn night. [ Well, not for the past month and a half actually, but close enough. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Please. You can't tell me that they threatened your very existence. I. Also dreamed on Derse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not seein' any threat here. The dome is strong enough to protect against water pressure at this depth. We'll be fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-23 07:49 pm UTC (link)
	But is it good enough. For water and tentacles. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-05-23 08:03 pm UTC (link)
	I'd assume they knew what they were doing when they built this place underwater. If they didn't care about keeping us alive, why go to the lengths they have? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The amusement. And the looks on our faces. When the whole thing comes crashing down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...huh. [ He wouldn't put it past them. Caliborn kind of has a point. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Caliborn feels a little rush of giddiness when Dirk doesn't argue with him.] Clang. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dang. Guess I'd better spend my last few hours alive doing something productive. I wonder where Jake got to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Firmly and quickly.] Keep your mouth off that man-whore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-05-23 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	No. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-23 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	Dirk. Don't make me come over there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You'd deny a bro his last few moments of comfort before his untimely demise? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-24 12:00 am UTC (link)
	You will die with dignity. Facing your demise like a man. With only a little screaming. And not like a pig. Oinking in a trough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is this... jealousy I detect? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-24 12:02 am UTC (link)
	What. No. Why would I be jealous. Of disgusting human carnality? I'm trying to elevate you. In your final moments. To something. Marginally better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-05-24 12:05 am UTC (link)
	Unfortunately, I'm just not interested. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a boyfriend to find. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-24 12:07 am UTC (link)
	Dirk. Wait. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-05-24 12:08 am UTC (link)
	Hm? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-24 12:16 am UTC (link)
	Okay. Whatever you are or aren't about to do. I don't care. Seriously. It's disgusting. But whatever. We aren't done talking. [Read: stall tactics so that he doesn't have to think about Dirk marching off and giving Jake a BJ.] Aren't you going to like. Do your thing. Where you "save" the day. Even though everyone is already dead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-05-24 12:19 am UTC (link)
	[ He... he was just going to kiss Jake. Caliborn, you have such a dirty mind. ] You think now is the time to bust out my epic plan? [ As if he had one. ] You have no sense of dramatic timing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-24 12:22 am UTC (link)
	[HE'S NOT THE ONE WHO DREW THAT PICTURE] Whatever. Just tell me. So I can watch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-05-24 12:23 am UTC (link)
	I'll do you one better. I'll swoop in and save your ass at the last minute, scoop you up bridal-style and carry you to safety. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-24 12:26 am UTC (link)
	Absolutely not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
