Day 231 : 4th Wall : Open Video/Open Action MINGLE
[Video : Open]

Hello, everyone! I wasn't expecting so many new people so soon! I'm not sure we'll have welcome baskets ready for everyone. [Partially because Euphie has been here long enough to suspect that if this is like any of the other times the wardens will "fix the glitch."] But I do hope you all have a safe and happy time today.

Everything here is free, so if you need clothes or food just go to any store or restaurant and you should be able to find what you need. Tonight when you want to sleep there are three different apartments with plenty of open rooms. You're welcome to take any open one for yourselves. Oh! And be very careful to stay out of Sector 6. It's dangerous. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Ah, and Cornelia, if you're out there it would be very nice to see you.

[Mingle : Open]
[Are you in MarinaNova? Of course you are! So this mingle is for you. It's currently happening anywhere and everywhere. So, step up, plop your character down and be sure to mention where they might be found on this day of broken walls.]

(OOC: Tag Euphie: Video or Mingle. My notifs are turned off so tagging anywhere else just puts you on the mingle to play with anyone looking at this post!)

	Euphemia. [That's right. No Euphie for you right now.] And I'm sure that isn't so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Caliborn snickers, and saunters up closer. It is definitely sauntering.] Whoa. Don't call me Euphemia. That's your pretty princess nonsense name. Be careful, babe. Someone might wrongly accuse me. Of knocking you in the head with my stick. Not that I wouldn't consider doing it. But. I don't want the blame without the satisfaction. You know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Are you attempting to make jokes or threats? [It's difficult to tell with him sometimes.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-08-09 12:35 am UTC (link)
	Why not both? [He whirls the stick and digs an end into the ground, or against the ground. Either way, he hopes it looks suitably threatening and badass as he leans on it a little.] But hey. Don't let the threat component work you into a femme tizzy today. It's more of a reminder. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Yes, it is the scariest playing in the dirt she's ever seen.] Are you worried I've forgotten you so soon? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hell no. [Caliborn, were he marginally less egotistical, might worry about coming off too strong or seeming stupid.]

[But that is just not the caliber of person we are dealing with.]

But. Just in case you aren't having nightmares about me. It seems worth the effort to remind you. That I'm always lurking. Ready. Willing. Like.

Like... [fuck.]

A human earth dog.

	To follow me and have your ears scratched? [She is a little bit confused and a little teasing. After all he does seem to work at being difficult with her and even Euphie's patience has an end. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-08-09 12:47 am UTC (link)
	What? [He blinks an eyelash-fluttery blink.] No. Something vicious. Let me try again. [Caliborn frowns and falls into a very deep thought as he thinks about his Earth animals.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2013-08-09 12:53 am UTC (link)
	[She takes a step closer, reaching out to touch his hand.] Are you alright? [All that thinking looked very uncomfortable.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-08-09 12:58 am UTC (link)
	[Caliborn tenses up and stares at her, eyes huge and wide.] [All at once, a number of very conflicting, very loud feelings well up inside of him. It's probably better not to dwell on those in the specific, though.] [He can't seem to think about animals anymore.] What are you doing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2013-08-09 01:01 am UTC (link)
	Checking on you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-08-09 01:05 am UTC (link)
	[oh god oh god oh god oh god] [Caliborn's face is flushed and his voice has gone up about half an octive, along with an increase in speed.] Don't touch me so sweetly, you scandalous moll. [He does not pull his hand away.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2013-08-09 01:07 am UTC (link)
	[She, however, does pulls hers away.] What's a moll? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-08-09 01:09 am UTC (link)
	[He resolves not to wash that filthy, defiled hand.] Go read a goddamn dictionary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2013-08-09 01:11 am UTC (link)
	[She gives a frustrated sigh.] Maybe I will if you can't be kinder to people trying to help you! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-08-09 01:49 am UTC (link)
	[Caliborn is also a little frustrated. In a more horrifying way.] Helping me. Is suggesting Earth animals. That would ravenously stalk and kill you. What you did was distracting. And scandalous. For both of us. What if someone saw that. [Jabbing his stick into the dirt for emphasis.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2013-08-09 03:03 pm UTC (link)
	I am not going to help you like that, and there is nothing wrong with what I did! You're not even making sense! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

YOU'RE not making sense!

[Smooth comeback, Caliborn. He jabs a finger angrily at her.]

You just-!

[He isn't even sure what he's trying to say anymore. In a fit of frustration with essentially everything in his life in the present moment, he throws down his stick in anger, crosses his arms, and turns away from her.]

[Because standing with his back turned on her accomplishes something. He just hasn't figured it out yet.]

	friendly_fire 2013-08-10 03:29 pm UTC (link)
	... [Some of that fire in her goes out with the back turned, so if that was the mission, he has accomplished it!] Something is wrong, isn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-08-10 03:35 pm UTC (link)
	[Caliborn is still mad, but he thinks that maybe throwing the stick wasn't the best idea, so he breaks his petulant arm crossing technique to kneel down and pick it up.] I don't know if I should mock you for taking so long. Or give you small quiet applause you for figuring it out at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2013-08-10 03:37 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe you should do neither and just talk to me about what's bothering you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Caliborn thinks about striking her knee caps with his stick. It would be pretty funny. It would make him feel better about how awful she has made this whole thing for him.]

[He doesn't do that, though.]

Fuuuuck no. You aren't my bro. You aren't anyone's bro. By virtue of being a woman.

Therefore.

You cannot possibly convince me that it would be a good idea to pour my "heart" out.

	It might make you feel better. It shouldn't matter if I'm a girl or boy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[To his very limited credit, he does contemplate it.]

[It's not as though he's, strictly speaking, ashamed of anything. No, Caliborn justifies it as more being somewhere between "none of her business" and "so much her business that it's better she doesn't know." Which are, in his view, very different but related things. He does think this might be a good chance to mess with her, if nothing else.]

[With a dramatic sigh, he stands facing slightly away from her again. His voice drops to a calmer rumble.]

Come closer.

	[Her body shifts as if to comply, but then she stops. For anyone else she'd step closer.] ...It's always a trick when you say something like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
