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?

	[She shakes her head, even if he can't see it.] He was always a bit of a prat, but whenever I tried to help him, he would lash out by acting worse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[This time it's Zero that is the one being quiet. Contemplating his thoughts about the situation and what he can do to help her.] There's a dynamic that is hard to explain to outsiders, I know. Are there others like you from your world? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Um. [She wants to answer as honestly as she can, but that means rambling just a little.] We were alone on our world. If you mean to ask if there other cherubim are out there, then yes. But I don't know if their situations are the same. I've never met one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, I'm just curious on if your situation is the same thing that everyone of your species is required to go through. You aren't sure? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not. Our progenitors didn't leave us with much. Only a few artifacts, and a room filled with supplies for survival. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...you are alone back home? How alone? [Like, locked in the basement alone or only one of your species alone?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Um. We were the only living thing on the planet, as far as I could tell. [Adding quickly:] But we had the Internet! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...that's somehow worse than being locked in a basement.] The only thing...can you exist in the same mind at the same time or are you completely alone when you are 'out'? I'm afraid I don't know the internet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[private] ophiuchus 2013-10-24 07:54 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. [She doesn't know how to explain the Internet. That'll come later.] It's... a little of both, I guess. He's asleep, but I still feel him there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[private] notamasochist 2013-10-24 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	So you can't hear what the other one is doing, ever? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[private] ophiuchus 2013-10-24 08:00 pm UTC (link)
	Never. We communicate in notes. (Reply to this) (Parent)
