Day 221 | Voice
[ Closed to Jane Crocker, Jake English, and whichever cherub is awake at the moment ]

Where are you?

[ Open ]

Who wants to start some hardcore prison barter system? Give me your candy bar for my piece of cabbage or I'll shank you with my toothbrush, etc.

Actually, are we even still calling it "prison"? This place has a more backwater feel to it than MarinaNova, so I feel some slang is in order. "The slammer", maybe? "The clink" implies metal cell bars, so I don't think that's appropriate. "The big house". I don't know, I'm still relatively new to this life of crime shit. Thoughts?

	[ Roxy appreciates the quiet way she speaks. Even the light on right now is nearly too much. She tries out a weak little smile at her. ] I feel like awful. Hangover of the century, give me an award. But I'm okay, besides that. You doing alright, too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A little hungry, but I'll be fine. [Calliope lays down, arms flopped loosely in front of her, and looks across the way at Roxy.] [Returns the effort to try smiling.] We're here for you, love. You don't have a thing to worry about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You want my chocolate? And... yeah, I got great friends. But I feel like an asshole baby for making it into some ordeal, so don't worry too much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She brightens up.] May I have it? [Oh, wait, there were other words there.] You aren't any of those things. Just think of it as being sick, and us taking good care of you until you're all better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ She grins at her, deciding to just take the reassurance. She does feel bad about it, but it's okay to sometimes need things, right...? ] Yeah, defs. Go ahead. It's in my locker right there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ It's right about then that Dirk returns, carefully carrying a cup of tea for Roxy. He addresses Calliope first: ] Oh, hey, you found us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] ophiuchus 2013-05-28 10:59 pm UTC (link)
	[Calliope looks up and smiles at Dirk.] Hello, dear! [Pardon her while she unceremoniously rolls off the cot and goes to loot Roxy's footlocker.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] retrogame 2013-05-28 11:02 pm UTC (link)
	[ Roxy then decides it's time to sit up, albeit slowly. Just so she can take and drink her tea. ] Heeey. Welcome back. You got the goods. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He hands it over, then sits down beside her carefully. ] Two down, two to go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Calliope digs out the chocolate bar, grinning victoriously before she puts everything back in order and closes the footlocker again.] [She'll perch on that instead while she unwraps the treat.] Spending time with everyone at once; how exciting! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Roxy resists the temptation to lean into him. She fails, but she isn't clinging or anything. She knows he wouldn't like that. It's just a little lean. ] God, have either of you guys seen them...? I haven't heard from Janey for a while, I'm getting worried sick. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] smuppeteer 2013-05-28 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	[ He's okay with leaning. He figures she needs it right about now. ] Not yet. If they don't answer soon, I'll go looking for them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] ophiuchus 2013-05-28 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	[Calliope shakes her head.] It's early in the day! Maybe they're just sleeping in. [But even she knows that's starting to ring a little hollow.] Would you like me to help you with the search, Dirk? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ She sips at her tea. It doesn't taste bad, exactly. She just doesn't quite like it much. But it smells nice and the steam is soothing. ] God, I want to help too, but I... I dunno, I probably shouldn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] smuppeteer 2013-05-30 01:52 am UTC (link)
	Just sit back and take care of yourself, Roxy. [ He glances at Calliope. ] Someone's gonna need to stick by Roxy for now, but if I can't find them after a while then yeah, I'd appreciate the assistance. [ Taking charge like always. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[As worried as she is about Jane and Jake, she's even more worried about Roxy, particularly due to the whole POISONING HERSELF issue.] [It's not a decision she particularly feels a need to argue with.] Alright. It's not a big prison! There wouldn't be all that much ground to cover, anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] retrogame 2013-06-01 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	[ Roxy smiles soft. More tea drinking. ] I wanna talk to Janey something awful. So tell her to come see me ASAP when you find her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] smuppeteer 2013-06-01 10:58 pm UTC (link)
	Will do. [ He pats Roxy's back gently. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Calliope smiles at Dirk, and then transfers it over to Roxy.] [It feels a little weird, the more she thinks about it, though, so she starts focusing on nibbling her prison chocolate.] And if you find any chocolate, Dirk... (Reply to this) (Parent)
