Day 241 [action / audio] ☤
[The reign of terror that has been Caliborn's days-long fit has begun to die down, with mercifully no clear-cut rule-breaking to aggravate it again. Of course, Calliope has been the one to pick up the pieces over and over, with only the slightest breaks. It probably would have been smarter to just let Caliborn work it out of his system, and THEN clean up, but she's never been one to tolerate messes for long.]

[She feels confident in his ability to behave, and so she has come to the media store to pick out a replacement TV. She the white-hoodie-bedecked figure staring at the shelf of little sets. At least until the options all start looking and sounding the same, and then she flees to the movie rental area to look at what's available.]

[Audio]

... hello, everyone. Ah, and welcome to Marina, those of you who have just arrived! This is "Callie." [In case her soft-spoken, awkwardly non-specific British accent didn't clue in everyone who isn't a newbie.]

[She thinks about mentioning Caliborn's little display on the network the other day, but opts not to.]

Sorry to keep this so short and curt, but I've been, ah, preoccupied, lately. If you were in that therapy session with my "brother," could you do me a favor and contact me? Privately, please?

	I was there, Callie. [Her tone is already apologetic as if she had wrongdoing to apologize for. Just hearing the awful things "Cal" said about her seemed like more than enough.] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[Sounding surprised.] Ah-! [Calliope quickly switches it over to a filtered feed.] [Locked] Before we say anything... I just want you to know that if you don't want to be around me anymore, I'll understand completely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Now it's Euphie's turn to sound surprised.] What would make you think I wouldn't want to be around you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[so very very locked]

I know you expressed wanting to help him, but... he's still so terrible to you. And I didn't think you'd want to have him in mind all the time, even when I'm the one around.

[Her tone drops to a guilty mumble.] Besides... while I haven't told a lie, I've practiced deception through careful avoidance of the truth.

Which I'm starting to feel like isn't a very honest policy, after all.

	[Lies of omission so rarely are! She knows them all too well, and still keeps one herself, not that the consequences are as great here if someone knows Lelouch is Zero.] I can understand why you didn't want to talk about that. Besides, you aren't him. And...even if I haven't spoken to him in a few days it doesn't mean I won't in the future. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Calliope sighs. She is relieved. The last thing she wants is to be isolated because of him. But she still can't help but feel worried and afraid for Euphie.] Alright... You haven't told anyone, have you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	God, Callie. I'm so sorry about your brother messing up your stuff. I was gonna try and at least clean it up for you, but-- shit kinda got crazy. So I didn't try to engage the lil sucker any further. You holding up okay? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[It's so good to hear from Roxy that it's an automatic mood-boost.] You've nothing to apologize for, love. I'm used to cleaning up after him. This is nothing, really, and I'm doing just fine. Frankly, I'm more worried about damage control right now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice/private] retrogame 2013-10-14 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	[ Wince. Yeah, damage control. CASUALLY AVOIDING TALK OF HER BURNS... ] Well, I'm glad for that. I just hope you're actually okay, and not just puttin on some sorta brave face. Cause god knows I've done that before and does it ever suck. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Noooo. You really don't have to worry about me. Since I don't have a reliable way of keeping my room locked, I've been expecting this sort of thing. The USB drive he destroyed was a secondary back-up, so I haven't lost much. Maybe, once I have enough points, the wardens will be up for installing some sort of juju-lock on my door.
