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.

[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.]

	[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)

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?

	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)

	[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)

	[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.
