229 - Heatwave mingle
[ It's a sweltering hot day under the sea! Luckily the wardens have provided the necessary means to keep cool: whether you're sunbathing at the beach, sniping your fellow inmates with a fully loaded super soaker or just cooling off under a tree with a cold treat, this is the place to do it! ]

(( ooc: Mingle away! You are of course encouraged to make your own posts and mingles for this event, should you want to! Event information can be found over HERE! ))

[Calliope really loves this weather. It's still not as hot as what she's used to, not by any stretch, but it's comforting to feel the heat radiating down again.]

[She's still wearing a hoodie, and over her customary slacks and ~~Caliborn's~~ a dark shirt and suspenders. The hood is up as she walks around the popular areas, but she risks dropping it where she thinks no one is around. If there are any especially dark and absorbent rooftops, you better believe she's perched up there, leaning back and cheerfully admiring the bright blue fake sky.]

	[How is she doing it... Beneath her parasol, she's slumped while she approaches the insane individual wrapped up in a hoodie.] . . . [.... OTL Talking is energy.] Hot... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Calliope peers down, not entirely registering what she sees. It dawns on her that maybe the person under that parasol is not having a happy time. As soon as she recognizes who it is, Calliope falls to her knees to look at Yuuki directly.]

[While she's pretty sure the (troll) vampires she knows about prefer the sunlight, she's concerned anyway.]

Are you okay, love!? Do you need to go to the hospital?

	[A shake of her head. Whew... okay, pull yourself together, Yuuki. She was never this bad back home, right? (Even if she had been human back during those times).] I'm just... a little... hot... [Lifting up, slightly, she smiles, cheeks rosy.] I thought I'd try and join everyone at the beach. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-07-24 03:26 am UTC (link)
	[Calliope doesn't stop frowning anyway, even if Yuuki looks awfully cute with rosy cheeks like that. She calmly reminds herself that looking cute does not automatically equal "not suffering."] In that case, would you like me to get you a Popsicle, or a whole bag of ice? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-07-24 03:29 am UTC (link)
	A...A Popsicle sounds so good right now... [So does the bag of ice. Can she lie down in a pile of ice while eating the Popsicle?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-07-24 03:35 am UTC (link)
	[Fun metabracket fact: that is literally what Calliope wanted her to use it for.] Okay. Can you wait here for a moment, while I fetch you a treat? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-07-24 01:55 pm UTC (link)
	Yes... I'll be fine, thank you. [She's just... going to sit on the ground and wait beneath her umbrella.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Calliope hurries off, at a pace probably strictly faster than necessary.]

[She'll be back not too long later, a little out of breath. Her haul is a bag of ice held under her arm, and two Popsicles daintily clutched in her claws.]

[The cherub plops back down in front of Yuuki, and extends both treats outward. One is grape, the other is orange. The ice slumps down on the ground next to her, and she inches away from it.]

Here you are, now, love, eat up. I brought the ice anyway, in case you changed your mind!

	trappedinresin 2013-08-04 02:40 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you, Callie... [She gratefully takes the popsicles, and, leaning against the bag of eyes she sighs. That's a lot better. Just looking at her friend makes the ice feel a little warmer.] I take it... you're enjoying the weather. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-08-08 01:56 pm UTC (link)
	[Calliope beams.] Quite a bit, yes! My brother and I grew up on a very hot planet. Hotter than would be comfortable for most everyone else here, I'm sure. Other temperatures are fine, too, but this weather is almost nostalgic. [Can you get nostalgia when you've only been away for a few weeks?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-08-09 09:51 pm UTC (link)
	Hah-- I don't know how you do it. [Hotter than this!??] Where I live it's up in the mountains in a northern climate, so it's usually a little cooler. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-08-13 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	[Cheerfully and not realizing it wasn't a question:] Different physiology, I imagine. [She tucks her hands into the hoodie's pocket.] Your home sounds lovely, though! What are mountains like? I've only heard of them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-08-13 11:28 pm UTC (link)
	Well... [A slight hesitation] I wasn't really allowed outside, but... the few times I've been outdoors, they were nice. Back at the academy though, we lived more toward the base of the mountains and it was always nice there. The academy had a stables, pool, and lots of land so there was always something to do.

	Oh... oh, right. [Calliope sits back, feeling a little bad for bringing it up.] [But at least Yuuki had more to add that she could quickly latch onto without being unbearably awkward.] It does sound nice!! Does that mean it snowed quite a lot? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-08-15 03:40 pm UTC (link)
	Mm. [A nod] In the winter it did. Summers were always a little short. (Reply to this) (Parent)

[ ever observant, piter spots calliope on a rooftop and scrutinizes her for a moment. it’s a long enough moment for him to become reasonably sure that he is not, in fact, dealing with caliborn. yes, seeing as how he hasn’t been verbally or physically assaulted yet, he’s at least 90% sure that caliborn isn’t out and about. ]

Your species thrives in extreme temperatures? [ nope, he sees nothing wrong with reminding calliope that she is extremely Weird and Different. ]

	ophiuchus 2013-08-08 01:59 pm UTC (link)
	[Wow ok Piter.] [Fortunately, in this case, Calliope has no shame about the world she grew up on. So instead of feeling awkward and uncertain based on what he says, it is entirely due to the fact that he's randomly addressing her while she's trying to have a good, quiet, rooftop bask.] [She scoots closer to the edge and peers down at him.] How could you tell? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

How? [ a slight sneer as he reaches up to shield his eyes from too much light. ] Shall we begin with the fact that very few in this place could engage in such an activity without tremendous discomfort? Human bodies are quite feeble.

[ which, ordinarily, he loves! the discomfort of others is so great. but when his body reminds him of how inconveniently weak and human it can be, he becomes rather less pleased about the human condition. it's too sweaty. ]

	[Calliope scoots around and rests her hand on her chin, and elbow on the edge of the roof.] I suppose that's true! But you should give humanity some credit. You possess certain advantages that far exceed those of my kind. [And then she promptly changes the subject.] Have you had any ice cream yet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_eyed 2013-08-14 12:26 am UTC (link)
	[ a slight smile twitches onto his lips at that; distasteful as humanity can be, it has produced individuals like himself, and he does indeed consider such an advantage to be great. ] I do not require such juvenile amusements or decadence. [ though an ice bath is beginning to seem like a very pleasant idea. ] Do you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-08-20 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	[She gives that comment the chin-handiest smile.] Yes. I require it very much. In fact, I require it so much that I am considering a double scoop, perhaps mint and vanilla, with sprinkles and whipped cream. Mint ice cream is very good for feeling cooler in the heat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_eyed 2013-08-31 08:29 pm UTC (link)
	My, how very epicurean. [ food isn't something he tends to concern himself with; it is has never been a pleasure to him as it is to the baron. piter simply considers it a vital part of the day, a source of energy to be utilized. what she describes sounds more unnecessary than tasty to him. ] I believe mint is most effective at quelling turmoil in the stomach.
