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.

[That would be a blue boy with a towel around his hips running smack into you green girlie.

And that towel drops. So have fun with that.

He'll want to pick it up, but doesn't want to give Caliborn the chance to kick him in the face or something while doing it. So he'll just stand and give him/it the stink-eye. You've seen boy parts before right? Obviously, you're a guy... skull-alien.

Too bad it's NOT Caliborn, so apologies ahead of time.]

You little brat, watch where you're going!

[She opens her mouth to apologize, but all that comes out at first is an airy hiss out of her agape mouth as she glances downward.]

[It's not really a genital issue, so much as an intimacy one. Her face darkens green and she covers her eyes, since her hands seem to work before her eyelids cooperate.]

[So now here is a trembling, bashful cherub whose brain is now full of alien genitalia that she did not ask for. Her voice is not noticably different from Caliborn's in general sound and pitch, but there is none of that spite or dramatic loudness. And oddly, a really awkward British accent.]

Ah-... S- sorry! Pleaseputyourtowelbackon!

[A pause, squinting slightly. There's definitely something different, little things... mostly the way she responds and that accent? He recognizes her voice from when they spoke before.

Oh.

Right. Now he'll stoop and pick up the towel to fix it around his hips.]

Sorry. You-- You're not that green prick. You're his sister?

We talked... about our worlds and stuff, right?

	[Gross internal sobbing.] [She peeks around her claws to see if the towel has been fixed, but she can't quite bring herself to pull her hands down again.] R... right... to both counts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bluemoondog 2013-05-31 01:22 am UTC (link)
	[Tilting his head slightly at how shy she is. A small, lop-sided smile pulls at one corner of his lips.] You... really don't have to hide. I'm a misfit too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Misfit"?

[She really isn't all that willing to un-hide, no matter how comforting he attempts to be, but she also understands that it might be ridiculous to stand around like this for any length of time.]

[Which is why she also takes a moment to contemplate running away, but that just seems rude. And if nothing else, she needs to be an ambassador of non-rudeness in cherubim.]

[She slowly lowers her hands, though her gaze does slide askew. Though that is just as much part of the shy as it is the fact she's got his everything stuck in her head.]

You're perfectly lo- [Wow maybe complementing his looks when he's standing around naked is awkward.] -fine! Not misfit at all.

	[He chuckles a little.] Well, there aren't many of us that are blue so I tend to stand out. [He shrugs.] Nothing wrong with you either, you shouldn't let the gawking get to you. These people just aren't used to aliens. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Calliope opens her mouth to argue, and then thinks better of the first thing she wanted to say. Not because she didn't think it was true, but it was too true. And most people are nice enough to argue when you say bad things about yourself, even bad-but-true ones.]

[If Roxy's response last night was any indicator, anyway.]

[So she takes another approach.]

I can't blame them. Especially if they've already seen my brother.

	[A small wince.] Hah, yeah I bet he definitely doesn't help matters. Where is that jerk-off anyway? I owe him a swift kick to the face. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-06-05 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	Um. [Calliope makes a show of casting her stare around, which is more to avoid looking at him than it is to insinuate he would be anywhere nearby.] Around here somewhere, I'm sure. ... please just avoid hurting him too badly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bluemoondog 2013-06-07 08:06 pm UTC (link)
	[Following her gaze and looking around some too.] Sorry, can't promise anything. He doesn't hold back when he attacks my boyfriend. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-06-07 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	[She opens her mouth, then closes it again. Calliope rubs at her eyes with the palms of her hands, takes a breath, and stands taller.] I have a better idea. I can tell you how to stop him in his tracks without having to raise a finger. But it's a secret, and you can't tell anyone else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bluemoondog 2013-06-08 01:34 am UTC (link)
	[Okay, that definitely has his interest.] Really? Alright, but... only if I can tell Aidan too. Just in case I'm not around to protect him I want him to be able to defend himself. You can trust the both of us not to tell anyone. [Offering his hand to shake on the deal.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She sighs and nods, slipping her rough scaly hand into his for the handshake. It is not a gesture she's had to do much, but she understands the meaning.]

Alright.

My "brother" and I are bound by certain rules, dictated by a form of magic called juju.

These powers are more than superstition, however. The primary reason why we don't offer our true names is because they possess an inherent ability that we have both agreed should not be shared, in order to prevent problems.

Unfortunately, he is a problem in and of himself. And that is why I'll share my name with you. Hearing it will send him into an immediate sleep.

[She pauses, awkwardly, and waiting to hear any kind of response and readying herself to say her name.]

	bluemoondog 2013-06-09 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	[The scaly and rough texture of her hand doesn't bother him much, he shakes before releasing her hand and listening closely.] You're sure it'll work? [Different world, different magics and such, different rules, or at least... that's a possibility, right?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

ophiuchus

I'm positive. And I must stress, one more time, to only use it in self-defense! It is the one and only way I can protect anyone from him, but it must not be exploited for minor nuisances or acts of petty arseholery.

[The cherub steps closer, dropping her hands to her sides. Her voice, so very much like Caliborn's but for the kindness that pervades it, drops to a rumbling murmur. Even though her future self told Roxy, this is the first time she has had to break this rule so thoroughly and blatantly. And it is still a secret.]

My name is Calliope.

[Petty arseholery? HIM? Naaaah.

But seriously he won't. Emergencies only for this one.]

Cal-li-oh-pee? [Rolling the name around, he figures getting the pronunciation down is important. Spells, magic and all that. He knows some things even if it's not something that exists in his world. Actually, since he's met people with 'powers' he's been looking into things like magic. Stories, legends, whatever is available to teach him things from other worlds.]

Should I uh... call you something different on a daily basis since this is kinda special and, well, you don't want him to know I know?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-06-10 04:00 pm UTC (link)
	Mm-hm, Cal-lai-oh-pee. [It takes Calliope a moment to recover, even though she's still very nervous about the rule-breaking.] Yes, of course. Please call me Callie. [And she adds, with a small and uncertain smile.] It's close enough to be a nickname, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bluemoondog 2013-06-14 08:35 pm UTC (link)
	[He mouths the name a second time to be sure then nods.] Callie, has a nice ring to it. [Smile!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-06-16 02:49 am UTC (link)
	[She smiles despite feeling guilty and ashamed, as though she's done something wrong. She can't help but wonder if giving out her name wasn't a mistake, and the last thing she wants is anyone to actually use it.] [But what she wants is irrelevant if she's dead because Caliborn has gotten them both killed.] Thank you, dear.
