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?

	[ . . . Wait wait. This... doesn't seem like the sort of things her friend Calliope would say, but the similarities in appearance is too striking to ignore.] Why is it... that you're trying to frighten the dome? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[Squint.] A brand-new harpy. Has stepped up to the plate. I don't need time powers. To know what you'll say next. So. Allow me. [In imitation of a more feminine voice:] "Be nicer. Make friends. Shush." There. Precious minutes saved. Is there anything I didn't cover. That you want to say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[HEY HEY. Aren't harpies supposed to be ugly? Wow, so rude!!] You forgot 'grow up'. If something happens, you realize you'll be in trouble, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Heh. Thanks. I'll add it to the list. And promptly disregard it. [Caliborn snickers.] Yeah. If these are our last moments. What better way is there to handle it? I can think of nothing better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If that's all you have to look forward to, then I feel sorry for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cowering and crying like a hysterical girl. Is not my style. What about you. Are you. Scared. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-05-26 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	I am concerned. I don't want to see anyone hurt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-26 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	If the creature gets in. You better close your eyes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hold your breath makes more sense. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-27 12:07 am UTC (link)
	Sure. If you need to breathe. And can survive being crushed. And having your meat-paste consumed by the horrorterror. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She can do all those things. She just doesn't think anyone else can :(] And you...? What will you do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-27 12:16 am UTC (link)
	[Caliborn shrugs. He's not being quite as manic right now, but he also couldn't be mistaken for somber or serious.] Ideally. I would survive. But I might not. Whatever. [Aaaand we're back to being a little shit again.] At least I know that. If I do. My sister also won't survive. And that's. Almost. Worth it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[That darkens her eyes] Your sister, Callie? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-27 12:36 am UTC (link)
	Ugh. Yeah, that bitch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-05-27 12:37 am UTC (link)
	[Wow. She sure doesn't like you.] She's one of the sweetest individuals I know here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-27 12:55 am UTC (link)
	[He's okay with that.] Two harpies. Of the same ugly feathers. Flocking together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-05-31 07:57 pm UTC (link)
	Then I'll make this straight and to the point. No one will be hurting Callie. And your attempts to frighten everyone only paints you as someone no one plans or wants to trust. If things get serious, I don't think that's a position you want to be in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-31 11:30 pm UTC (link)
	[Caliborn laughs an ugly and annoying laugh.] Big words for an empty-headed harlot. Pay attention: you don't understand. Not a single thing. You don't have any say in if she gets hurt or not. [He grins wider.] If anyone does. It's probably me. And I say. If you want what is "best" for her. You will mind your mouth. And your own business. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-05-31 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	I've given you your only warning. [She's willing to disconnect at that. What kind of horrible brother would ever threaten someone so sweet. She doesn't know all of the circumstances, but there's no way that she will sit aside and see someone she cares about hurt, either.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-06-01 12:05 am UTC (link)
	And you have yours. [He doesn't have anything to follow that with, other than snickering.] [He can't help but wonder how horrified people would be if they knew the truth. The one good thing about his sister, he supposes, is that she makes an awfully good meat shield. And even when they don't know any better, she gets to suffer.] [Caliborn calls that a win.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
