Day 221 — Morning mingle : Main shelter
[Wake up and smell the lack of coffee. You're on a bunk bed. Maybe you're a top and maybe you're a bottom. There are five other people in your room. Maybe they're friends or enemies or faces you barely recognize if at all. It doesn't matter much. You can leave this room and you don't need to come back to it.

You should get your rations though. You're probably hungry. You're definitely a little sluggish of body. What happened to that bruise you got sparing yesterday? What happened to your newly dyed hair? Mystery, mystery... Move along. Find the public bathrooms and do your business with a hundred of your closest friends.

Find the kiosk and get your rations. Careful not to let anyone steal them. You won't get more until tomorrow and the bots won't care. They aren't here to hold your hand. If you get sick or hurt and they deem it necessary they will take you to the hospital whether you wish it or not. But why dwell on such things? You're here now and you might as well enjoy it. You even get a free day today.]

(OOC: OOC info. This mingle takes place in the Main shelter over the morning hours.

[Calliope doesn't really, fully get that she's being yelled for, and certainly not that this was the specific form of address her brother requested. But out of general politeness she pauses and looks around.]

[Oh. She IS being called.]

[She looks at him quizzically. Even if her cheeks and eyes are differently colored, she's still the spitting image (and sound) of Caliborn. ... Just without the belligerence.]

Hello?

	[ The differences are hard to completely miss, but he's not clever enough to draw the conclusion that this is an entirely different person in the same body. And why would he? ] Did uh... did somethin' happen to you? You look kinda... different. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-28 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	[Calliope pauses, looks down at herself, and then looks back up. Well, she's wearing the jumpsuit and feeling ridiculously naked for it, but that's about it.] No...? [-and then it occurs to her, and she brings a hand up to one of her cheeks self-consciously.] Oh. You're one of my brother's, ah... people he's met, maybe? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-05-30 01:54 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I uh... I guess you could say that. [ Well. This got a little awkward. ] I didn't know he had siblings... can't say I've seen you 'round before either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-30 02:35 pm UTC (link)
	[It is awkward, but not in ways that Aidan probably realizes. She shyly drops her gaze, but smiles a little.] The only "sibling" he has is me, even if we don't exactly get along well. Not for a lack of trying on my part, mind you! I like to lead a more, ah, private life. [One free of embarrassing posts and delinquency.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-05-30 04:24 pm UTC (link)
	Ah, yeah... I guess that explains it. [ Not seeing her around. ] He's, uh... quite th' handful, huh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-30 04:29 pm UTC (link)
	[Sighing.] More than you possibly realize. [She looks back up, her smile coming on in full. It's not one of Caliborn's ridiculously toothy grins—only the upper row really shows thanks to their overbite, and it's certainly more gentle.] [Her arms are self-consciously crossed.] My friends call me Callie. What's your name, dear? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-05-30 10:36 pm UTC (link)
	[ Wow. How can such a sweet girl be related to that scumbag? He doesn't get it. ] I'm Aidan — it's very nice to finally meet you, Callie! [ The warmest of smiles! ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-30 11:28 pm UTC (link)
	The pleasure is mine, Aidan! [And it really is. Even if she's still self-conscious, and vaguely annoyed at Caliborn for being such a butt, she is very glad that his behaviour isn't being held against her.] This is quite the situation we've landed in, isn't it? How are you doing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-05-31 05:04 pm UTC (link)
	I'm alright — actually, I'm kinda good with dealin' with stuff like this. It feels nice to be busy again, the other place was kinda drivin' me nuts. [ Self-deprecating chuckle. ] How 'bout you? You doin' alright? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-31 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	Mm. [Calliope shrugs. Even being forcibly locked in her room wasn't this bad, but she doesn't want to betray anything too negative.] The rations are underwhelming, to say the least. [Slyly.] If you happen to know anyone willing to trade their welcome chocolate for some of my ration pack... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-06-01 06:04 pm UTC (link)
	Well, uh... [ He's got a hungry boyfriend, but that doesn't justify taking someone else's rations... still. ] I got 'bout half of mine left, if you want it? No need t' trade me or nothin'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-06-01 06:09 pm UTC (link)
	Are... are you sure? [She edges forward, just a little bit, eyes going a little wide and hopeful.] I'm not able to eat most of it, so... it's going to end up in other people's hands anyway...! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-06-01 06:52 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I'm sure... though, if you can't eat th' rations I can take it off your hands. I just didn't want to take your food. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-06-01 06:56 pm UTC (link)
	[She pauses, and then shyly scratches at her cheek with a claw as she looks aside.] I'm certainly happy to give you some. [Not all of it. She has friends to feed, too. ... and also more chocolate bars to barter for.] What would you like? The vegetables? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-06-02 05:44 pm UTC (link)
	Sure, I can take th' veggies! That's a fair trade, I think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-06-05 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	[Calliope nods, smiling bright.] Wonderful! It's a deal, then. [Chocolate chocolate chocolate...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-06-06 12:26 pm UTC (link)
	Great! Meet you back here in a little while? I gotta go pick it up from th' foot locker. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-06-07 04:45 am UTC (link)
	Same here! I'll be back in a jiffy. [She beams at him, and then, with a spring in her step, hurries off to go fetch her vegetable pile.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-06-08 01:45 pm UTC (link)
	[ And he'll return a few minutes later with 2/3rds of a carefully wrapped chocolate bar. ] I think it melted a little, but th' wrapper should keep it okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-06-11 02:49 am UTC (link)
	[Calliope returns soon, too, bringing her little collection of root vegetables.] [She sees the chocolate bar and does and excited hop.] Oh! Thank you. Melting doesn't really matter. I'm used to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-06-11 05:56 pm UTC (link)
	[ Gosh, that is so cute and so weird, seeing as he's familiar to Cal's grumbly self. ] Good! Then consider th' trade official! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-06-13 01:48 am UTC (link)
	[She holds out her vegetables, smiling brightly. It is definitely different from Caliborn's angry looking smirks, even if pointy teeth are showing in both cases.] Here you are, dear. Eat well! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-06-13 04:34 pm UTC (link)
	[ Somehow, pointy teeth seem very non-threatening with her. ] I will, thank you! I should probably tuck these away... but I'll see you later, alright? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-06-13 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	[Clutching her new prize, Calliope gives him a chipper nod.] [She is as much pleased to help him out as she is to have even more candy. Suck it, wardens.] Absolutely! [Sing-song as she goes to stash her own prize away.] Cheerio, dear! (Reply to this) (Parent)
