DAY 236 [voice]
... So I either slept long and hard or I just fuckin' up and made like mist and evaporated for a bit there.

Either way: orange's still not my color. Noooo thanks. Baggy ass jumpsuit does nothing for a girl's figure. I look like a breadstick. A cheese breadstick, exactly 666 calories from the depths of hell's kitchen. Off the hook and uncontainable, the hard and fast starch diet of kings coming your way with a side of pasta. Mom's spaghetti. Luckily I don't give a rat's ass about shit like that, so I'll eat everyone's share. All of it. Fuckin' mine.

In other news, the god damned weather: what's shakin'? Looking all kinds of stormy gross today on the day that is also day 236. Days.

[ Roxy hugs her back, firm and tightly. ]

It's fine, though. It's really fine. So don't worry. Dirk... shouldn't worry either, and neither should they. They and you should all be more worried about yourselves, man. I got this. It's really alright, you know?

[ She's so embarrassed. Not in a way that has her feeling anything towards Calliope, but a distinct regret for having said something so off-handed. ]

[The absurdity of Roxy's assurances hit her off-guard.] Goodness, Roxy. I've always been your "patron troll," out to help and look after all four of you.

[She shakes her head, and promptly shoves her face into Roxy's shoulder, since that movement ended up being a bad idea for her sense of balance.]

Well- I mean... since coming here, none of you have really needed my advice, or anything. I don't blame you. I don't really know anything, not really. But I miss it—being able to help. The only person I ever get to help anymore is Aradia, and she doesn't need me.

	[ There's a small silence on Roxy's part as she digests that. She rubs her upper back. ] Don't be stupid, Callie. Of course I need you. Especially now that Jane's gone... nah, even before that. Even if I'm not constantly grabbing you for advice, man, you're always there and that's really important to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She leans back and frowns, looking like she's about to offer a rebuttal.] [Calliope then shoves backward away from Roxy, not intending to actually hurt her or knock her down, but because she needs the momentum to stagger far enough to heave the contents of her stomach onto the ground.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ And Roxy is of course rushing forward after that, trying to help her to her knees and to attempt to shield her pretty suit from airborne vomit. Since she only has one hand to try and do that (she's rubbing Calliope's shoulders), only a little is spared. ]

Jeez Louise. Callie, you gone and made me sound like Jake. Jeez Louise-- the fuck was I thinking when that decided to all come out of my mouth like so much barf.

Come on, girl, let's get you something to settle your stomach, okay?

	[Calliope groans, feeling as though she is currently suspended in the precise center of a perfect storm of misery. She is beginning to suspect that cherubs are especially not meant to drink that swill.] [It takes a moment of slow breathing, and then Calliope nods and slowly pushes herself to her feet.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Roxy will try to help her to her feet, if she lets her. And then guide her gently along. ] Come on. Don't drink like that ever again, Callie, you don't got the... the guts, I guess, and I'm talkin' literal guts, cause hell and heaven knows you got the other kind. We're gonna go sit on the bench here, okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It was a fairly stupid idea. [She sits down on the bench as soon as they reach it, wincing and staring down at her feet as she sways gently in the breeze that may or may not actually be there.] But I'm still afraid for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ No breeze. Roxy puts a steadying arm around her shoulders. ] Whatever Dirk said, he's just... honestly too much of a worrier. I got this under control, under wraps, the entire thing is 100% totes fine. God, I can't believe he'd go and scare you like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This feels miserable. [Whether that was meant to be a reply or simply something she noticed, it is not immediately elaborated upon.] [Calliope takes the arm on her shoulder as her cue to rotate in toward Roxy and fiercely hug her.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
