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!)

	[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)

	[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)

	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.]

	... [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)

	ophiuchus 2013-08-17 04:33 pm UTC (link)
	[Caliborn narrows his eyes. Mostly because she is right, and it bugs him that she's not stupid enough to fall for a cheap trick.] Fortunately. I wasn't planning on telling you anything important. Otherwise. I would be soooo hurt. By your callous bitchery. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2013-08-18 07:31 pm UTC (link)
	I'm glad you aren't hurt then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[That wasn't the right answer, even though he wasn't entirely aware that there was one until she said that.]

GOD.

[He starts to turn around, then changes his mind, turns back around. Stomps closer. Close enough to reach out and grabs her hand. All he does is hold it, his hard claws curled surprisingly delicately around it for all that he's otherwise fuming and glaring daggers at her.]

	[That is a curiously gentle touch considering this expression. She is intrigued and confused as she watches him, waiting for something further.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-08-18 08:03 pm UTC (link)
	[There is a pause, and then nothing more. He lets her hand go and turns on heel, reaching for his tree branch.] [He may or may not be muttering obscenities under his breath.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[That's fine, he's just going to go home and] [lay down] [or something, for a while.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
