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?

	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)

	Unfortunately, I'm just not interested. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a boyfriend to find. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	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)

	[ 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)

	smuppeteer 2013-05-24 12:27 am UTC (link)
	Whatever you say. [ This will happen one day. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-24 12:30 am UTC (link)
	[It's not even up for debate.] Yes. Exactly right. Where are you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-05-24 12:31 am UTC (link)
	I'm not telling you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-24 12:33 am UTC (link)
	You can't escape me. Especially not when. I'm going to go sit in your apartment. [He immediately stands up and moves toward the door.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-05-24 01:10 am UTC (link)
	I'm not at home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-24 02:16 am UTC (link)
	As if. That matters. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-05-24 02:24 am UTC (link)
	I do seem to have successfully escaped you, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-24 02:25 am UTC (link)
	... You have to return eventually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-05-24 02:27 am UTC (link)
	Oh? But I thought we were all about to die. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-24 02:38 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. But. [GOD DIRK why are you ruining all his spontaneously laid plans.] Where the fuck are you then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-05-24 02:40 am UTC (link)
	Out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-24 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	Not good enough. [And then he gets An Idea.] I guess. If we are all going to die. It doesn't matter if I break into your apartment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-05-24 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	And if we're all going to die, you can probably find a more interesting way to spend your time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-25 12:02 am UTC (link)
	Not if. It's a quick in and out. I'll smash your windows. Tear everything up. [Steal something.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-05-25 12:04 am UTC (link)
	... Okay, fine. You win. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-25 12:07 am UTC (link)
	Of course I do. [he just isn't sure what his prize is.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
