Day 223; ☤ Open | Voice/Action
[Calliope clears her throat. The arcade's first-floor cacophony can be heard in the background, though muffled. Even though she sounds like Caliborn, she's so very much kinder and warmer.]

Sooo... This is "Callie"! Thank you to everyone who donated or traded your chocolate to me while we were at the other place, and to those of you who offered me kind words. I hope everyone is alright, and made it back safely! [Though she hasn't heard from Roxy.]

... on that note, has anyone else noticed bruises and the sort being in different places than they were yesterday? It's rather peculiar...

Um, but, anyway. [She sounds a bit more nervous, now, voice a bit shaky and laugh with an edge of giggle on it.] It's not as though there's currency worry about, but if anyone would like to be repaid in kind and company, I'm on the second floor of the Arcade with some snacks. It's the one with the tables and the card and board games.

Maybe we could also play something together? Oh- and we can also go to one of the other floors, if anyone prefers a different game! This just seemed the most fitting place to start at, with the candy and soda...

[Calliope really wants to spend time with everyone and anyone.]

[This is a bigger deal to her than it may be for most; she's so convinced of her own horrific monsterly-ness that she feels like asking people to spend time with her is imposing. Part of her doesn't even expect anyone to respond or show up, beyond maybe her friends from home. Still, after she learned about Caliborn's little frypan rampage and constant attempts at upsetting people, she feels a need to try and cement herself as the green-eyed cherub who just wants to make friends.]

[That is why, true to her word, Calliope is camping out at one of the game tables. She's wearing a hoodie tugged up to somewhat disguise her appearance, but she's on the lookout for people who appear to be looking for her. There are long moments of keeping busy by shuffling skills and snacking on her small assorted collection of candy, too.]

[And, before she tries to put it off any longer...]

[Private | Filtered to Aradia]

Umm. Hello, dear. Would you like to, ah... [She trails off, realizing there are approximately two dozen ways to end that sentence, and she can't pick one.]

	That was one-hundred percent on purpose, yes. I very much wanted to. [ her words are a little stiffer than usual, now, but only due to Feelings. formal-mode has activated in hopes of smoothing things over. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I don't understand.

[Calliope scoots a little closer to Aradia, but she can't bring herself to reach out and touch her, or do anything of the sort. She is afraid of inflicting her monster-ness on anyone, even now.]

[But she does get close enough to where their shoulders can touch. That seems safe enough.]

I- I know it's a little forward of me to say so, but- I did like it.

	[ aradia's growing more and more flustered, now. she leans against calliope the slightest bit, focusing on deep breaths for a few quick moments before answering. ] As did I. Hence why I did it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Oh no Aradia didn't shove her away.] [This really is serious.] [Calliope remains like that for a moment before sitting up.] I... I suppose I just need some time to think about this. I'm being serious when I said I never... really expected that. I don't even know what to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I understand. [well, sort of. ...oh goodness, calliope just said she needed some time. isn't that a bad sign? especially with fuzzy-feeling related things? aradia bites her lip and continues trying to maintain her breath, averting her gaze. ] Does needing time require me leaving now, or would you like me to stay? I don't ... quite know how this all works. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Calliope blinks.] What? No, no! Stay. Please stay. [She hopes she didn't sound desperate, but she's terrified.] I want time so that I don't do something wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh. [that's all aradia says for the moment. just "oh". she feels so, so lost and silly right now, but she's glad calliope doesn't want her to leave, so there's that. ] I'm ... sorry I'm so terribly bad at this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-07-06 04:56 am UTC (link)
	I'm probably worse than you could ever be. It doesn't come naturally to me at all, as I've mentioned... [Calliope glances away as she makes a decision. She leans forward and gives Aradia the world's most hesitant cheek kiss.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	corpsepartying 2013-07-08 02:57 am UTC (link)
	At least it's something that we share. [ aradia flushes a crimson red as soon as she realizes what calliope's just done, then dissolves into giggles that are a combination of nervous and gleeful. ] I -- thank you. [ it feels like an appropriate response, for some strange reason. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
