☤ 5th Che---- error [Video]

[caduuceus]

[Tonight the SOS feed goes off. And if any one decides to click the emergency feed button, they'll be treated to a strange sight

The video feed doesn't show anything when turned on other than a pair of thin legs and right below it a message. The legs are dressed in green pants and grey shoes, but nothing else about it can be discerned from the feed. It might appear at first that the message is written in paint...

but those who know better will recognize it as blood. Though not red blood, but a brightly colored green blood. The message:]

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
[After several seconds of lingering over the scene the feed suddenly hurdles toward the ground and is stopped by the impact a second later. It seems the bracelet was dropped mid-recording and the SOS alert cuts off with the loss of contact.]

[ooc: As Calliope is obviously dead there isn't any way to talk to her, but feel free to use this post to send messages to the mysterious killer (aka Caliborn, who is not mysterious at all). The SOS feed will report the location of the bracelet to be in Hel district, outside of the carnival.  If anyone goes there, they will be able to find Calliope's corpse outside the carnival gates. It's been shot at multiple times in the chest and her blood is smeared all across the body.  EDIT: Dirk and Davesprite will find her first, but others are welcome to watch or react.]

God damn it.

[There's not much else to say. He's already heading that way. He has a friend's bracelet to retrieve and see to her remains.]

Yeah.

[The evening was going smoothly as Soushi was at the library doing additional research or reading books that he remember Ririchiyo recommending him before he arrived to Asgard. He believed the rest of the evening would continue to remain peaceful until his bracelet will begin to create a terrible high-pitch sound. It was a pain, at first, because his ears were a little more delicate compare to a human's, but it had caught his attention.]

...what is going on?

[It won't be long until his bracelet will reveal a video transmission. The quick appearance of it will catch his attention especially the details surrounding it. There was a bloody body of a woman on the screen.]

.....who?

[He will begin to check the ID of the bracelet, but all he will receive is the location of the owner. She could be found in Hel. Soushi was uncertain on the best course of action to take. It was obvious the sudden video feed had caught his attention, but he was uncertain over him being part of a video conference. His reaction was definitely inquisitive, but....slightly disturb in the way that someone was broadcasting a dead body. Was this pity?]

.......I wonder who could have done this to her. [Then he wonders.] But most importantly, why am I able to see this? I do not understand.

[marrying]

[She is -- horrified isn't even a word to describe it. She comes from a place that only very recently became dangerous and murderous and real. And Daphne remembers the conversation she had with what she knows to be a rather sweet young lady, warning them about her identical brother, and it seems Calliope heeded Daphne's warning to be careful a little too late.

Still, all she can do is stare, because her brain is clicking away at an impossibly fast pace, she can probably heal that but the risk is far too great for anyone to let her try. And it's too dangerous.

She should probably turn off the feed, but she can't yet.

It seems disrespectful to stop looking, even though the feed on Calliope's end is over.]

[biifurcatiion]

oh my p2iioniic god.

[Suddenly all of their conversations have become more ironically relevant than ever. Is it wrong, that he isn't too sure that he's worried? She'll be back. He knows she'll be back, because he's been back, and he told her so. Because she asked. She'll be back.]

[alternia_strength]

D --> What is the likelih00d this is related to the other of her kind
D --> She has e%pressed concern that it would happen repeatedly
D --> Which frankly seems unnecessary and gratuitous at best

[bestestfurrend]

:33 < equius DD:
:33 < he killed her
:33 < we should have kept her safe DDX

[alternia_strength]

D --> He did seem to yes
D --> It is apparently a part of their species
D --> But still it should not be needed here
D --> Much less the repetition he seems to be obsessed with

D --> We will assist in her protection when she returns

[biifurcatiion]

[alternia_strength]

[Equius grunted and sighed, shaking his head. There were reasons he preferred to speak to Karkat at times like this. Sollux was too caught up in his ever-present bile, and with her dead he seemed to be beside himself.

Ergo, he wouldn't be helpful. ...Whatever. He had every intention of helping to protect her from this happening again, but likely not with Sollux.]

D --> As helpful as always I see
D --> Very well
D --> We will never speak of this again

[bestestfurrend]

:33 < sollux?

not here --> action (if ok. doesn't require a response?)

[redhourglass]

( oh for the love of --

could they please stop killing each other. just. please. obviously other people here weren't dealing with well and Natasha wasn't really in the mood to deal with mass panic at the moment. not that she was panicking. all in all, it was kind of .. interesting to her. a change from the monotony. but that was not the point. she didn't need frightened sheep running around while she was trying to find a way home and frightened sheep were hard to spy on.

so she's just going to sidle down to Hel district and take a look, making sure she's not seen (unless Dirk and/or Davesprite are particularly on their game).

it's not like death here is permanent, anyway. )

not here / reaction;

[integrous]

[ .. Green blood. Even though it's green, it's obvious it's blood coming from the body, and her heart sinks all the way towards her stomach. Her stomach twists too, and for a moment she feels the urge to throw up, but she manages to keep it in. But still.. even though she can only see half of the scene, it's already too much. Another corpse..

Not to mention that message. Written in that green blood, it almost makes her think of something, but she doesn't have enough energy in her to think right now.

Part of her wants to yell. Or do something. But now, more than ever.. she realises she can't.

It's the worst feeling. ]

reaction;

[tournesols]

[ nothing could've prepared her for this.

itsuki recognizes the body after a split second of horrified staring--and the green blood further rams it home, because she's seen that shade of green elsewhere, and she was wondering where, and she remembers where it's from. calliope. oh, calliope--

so the person she'd been warning everyone else about got to her. and that person had--

her stomach turns.

she didn't know calliope well. perhaps this is what makes it so upsetting. she hasn't been told that people come back to life here; this is a life she only just got to know, hoped to be friends with, and in the end...

that mocking laughter written in her blood says enough. she has to turn off the bracelet. she needs a moment to retch, anyway. ]

[comeonthensexy]

Calliope!

[ No. no, no, no. It can't--

He liked her. He really, really liked her, she was brilliant, and kind, and amazing. Who would even--?

There is an answer to that question, isn't there? Or at least he has a hunch.

There's a moment's silence, and when he opens his mouth again, it's much quieter. Solemn, tight. ]

Caliborn...

[Video]

[bonnypiperlad]

[For a few split seconds, he can do nothing but stare, with his mouth slightly agape in shock at the sight. When he finally manages to speak, his words are barely audible, so quietly spoken they might almost be missed altogether.]

Och, no...

[She'd been so kind to him when they'd talked, despite her needing to warn the others about her brother. And she'd said, she'd said he was dangerous, and rightly so, it seemed. Now she was dead, and there wasn't anything he could do for her. Closing his eyes, he let his head drop for a moment before reaching to switch off the feed.]

[Voice]

[hadbadays]

[ Oh, bloody hell. Another murder. He should get on Sherlock about that, but. First. ]

Has anyone found them yet?

Reaction

[samantha_grey]

[Samantha was not in a happy place. The fact that Calliope had been shot so many times had only a single, solitary silver lining for her. It wasn't like before, not like Diva, not like the more recent murders she was suspected of committing.

That didn't help, though. This place was going back to hell in a handbasket, and part of her wasn't surprised. They needed fighters, and some of those...

They were nuts.

That didn't make seeing this easier, especially with a couple hints Calliope had dropped before.]

[Not Here]

[key_illusion]

[Lovely.

Although, from the look of things, the people (and trolls) of Jade's universe are already sorting things out.]

reaction

[suppressthedark]

No.

[That can't be-but this is from-No.

There's nothing he can do.

He stands there, looking at the feed for a long moment, before shutting it off and flopping down into a chair, placing a hand on his face.

He asked her to call him if something like this happened.

God damnit.
