☤ 6th Cheer ☤ [Video]

[caduuceus]

"Greetings Asgard, I hope today finds yoU well. It seems I caUsed a wee smidge of a stir when I... went away. My apologies."

[The green girl looks well, far more than anyone riddled with bullets ought to be. Bundled up in several cat themed blankets, she casually sips her tea, the only sign of trauma being the way the cup mildly clatters in her shaky grasp.]

"Sorry to damn yoU with false hopes, brother, bUt as yoU can see, I am qUite alive. Now then, if yoU are qUite finished making a spectacle of Us both, we have a war to absolve! I see now that hiding from yoU was a mistake. ShoUld yoU have actUal need of me, I will be aroUnd."

[She averts her gaze. Only recently has she gotten used to the idea of showing her face in public, and... while she had not wanted to do it again, it would seem she needed to, if anyone were to believe she had been the victim now resurrected. She sighs.]

"From what I Understand the length of my absence has been considerably UnUsUal. I might attribUte this problem to my having gone home, or perhaps a difficUlty resUlting from my UniqUe biological sitUation, bUt it matters not. I am pleased to be among yoU once more, Asgard.

It has also come to my attention that I am the sole beneficiary of the shop I once sUpplied for. PrevioUsly, I was using my hoUse powers to create props and cosmetics of the theatrical variety. While I shoUld very mUch like to continUe doing so, I am afraid I know precioUs little aboUt what trUly rUnning a bUsiness entails. If anyone might be looking for sUch a position or a partnership of sorts, I woUld be ever so gratefUl. Certainly tailors or someone savvy with handling finances woUld not go amiss either. Until then, cheerio!"

[Private to Dirk]
"I.. woUld very mUch like to still have that visit, if yoU are Up to a reschedUle..?"

[Private to Kanaya]
"I seem to recall yoU being something of a seamstress. Have yoU considered employing yoUr skills?"

action 4evs

[tipsygnostalgia]

You went away? No way is that excuse gonna fly with people missy!

[She missed you a lot and was awfully worried :( Though whoops, she ended up disappearing and coming back only to find out that Callie had been killed and is still feeling guilty over it.]

I'm sorry I wasn't here to help you, I'm such a sucky best friend.

All the action

[caduuceus]

"Oh, pshposh, yoU are nothing of the sort! YoU did all yoU coUld."

[She looks up smiling semi-guiltily.]

"And no? I thought it might have soUnded preferable to the alternative."

[deudly]

It was totally worth it.

[NO REGRETS CENTRAL.]

[caduuceus]

"I am sUre it was. No doUbt yoU enjoyed it. Nevertheless it was hardly condUsive to oUr escape!"

video oops

[mcfussyfangs]

[Wow wow wow, the most severe matron-ish frown because Calliope you are just bleeding everywhere.]

I have considered it enough that I was rather close to simply asking what my employment opportunities were in Asgard. Preferably something that allows a certain amount of freedom from the gods whims, while also employing my skills.

Business aside, what happened to you? Is this brother of yours intending on causing any further harm?

[video] hehe no worries

[caduuceus]

"As previoUsly mentioned, I have a consistent amoUnt of fabrics available, pUrely becaUse I am able to create them throUgh the Use of my god granted powers. I may not always get paid for my commisions, bUt creating things with my powers was how I had planned to help the natives; it was how I was going to start bringing coloUr back.
I certainly cannot rUn a shop by myself and that woUld pUt far too mUch of a bUrden of yoU, I am afraid. Still, Until then, if yoU find yoUrself in the mood of a creative sort, I woUld be happy to sUpply yoU with a means to create or sell whatever yoU please."

[She shakes her head.]

"I was mUrdered. DreadfUl really, thoUgh brother qUite enjoyed it, I expect. Whether he intends to again or not, I cannot say. Still I do believe I will be implementing a new approach to the matter."

[necrowmantic]

[Staaaaaring.]

...I have no clue what you are, but it's so cool!

[Video]

[caduuceus]

"I- whaa--?"

[Fully flushed, she will just be raising a pillow in front of her face now. Guh she will never get used to this.]

"..Umm I'm called a cherUb."

[bestestfurrend]

[Have the saddest and most heartbroken of wibble-faces ever staring right at you, Callie.]

Re: video;

[caduuceus]

[Calliope flinches in the face of that incredibly sad, penetrating stare- oh no! Has she upset the other girl somehow?!]

"N-Nepeta dear, whatever is the matter?"

video

[holyfight]

Aha? What kind of shop are you running?

You went away? How come? And I didn't realize your brother was here!

video

[caduuceus]

"Ah, nothing mUch. I had been helping oUt at Ayame's before its owners retUrned to their own respective worlds; We sold clothes, little bits and bobs and the like. Ritsu had been so creative with their designing, I thoUght I might keep to a similiar vision by theming oUr prodUcts to mirror oUr patron's own Universes. A new way to have a little taste of home, perhaps. First, I need to figUre oUt how to properly rUn a bUsiness, of coUrse!"

[She frowns slightly]

"Ah yes. Regrettably he has been the caUse of my departUre; on both accoUnts actUally. From what I hear tell he has been rather skilled at hiding presence; all the easier to catch me alone, I imagine."

|| video

[usandthedead]

[There's this face on the screen. And he might look both confused and inquisitive.]

From what you're sayin', I get that you went away somehow. Curious about what you might remember about it. Where you went and what was there.

[video]

[caduuceus]

[Oh hello there stranger! Calliope may just take a minute to tilt her head at yoU; the first half of her embarrassed to be, well, seen and the other to regard the question at hand. She attempts a nervous smile.]

"YoU wish to know what I recall? Well I have been dead for some time back home, so natUrally I retUrned to being dead there! It is not Uncommon for Travelers in Asgard to periodically retUrn home for a time. UnfortUnately, we are never able to recall anything of oUr time here when we do."

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

[ Oh, that is a relief. ]

Calliope! I was getting worried!

[Video]

[caduuceus]

"Doctor! Yes, it is a pleasUre to be able to retUrn to this realm. How have yoU been faring, love?"

video;

[integrous]

[ Screw listening to the actual message. Asahi is way too impulsive to actually wait and listen, when she hears the start she's already jumping to reply to all of it, obviously looking worried. ]

Hey, are you okay..?!

video;

[caduuceus]

"Asahi!--"

[Calliope cheers the name pleasantly, but ends on a flatter note when noticing the concern on her features.]

"Yes, of coUrse? Is there some reason I--"

[And then she remembers. Oh! she has never shown you her face. She claps her hands over his mouth.]

"O-oh!"

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[Pyro just laughs at her utterly slamming her brother. After the fear she showed of him before, it's impressive.]

That attitude right there is what you need more of.

[caduuceus]

"Is it?"

[She tries to play innocent, but the smile breaks lose a few seconds later. Yeah, she enjoyed it.]

"Hee I do admit, it feels qUite nice to dish oUt some form of comeUppance every now and then. How have yoU been faring, love?"

[Private | Video]

[timaeus_testified]

Of course I'm up for a reschedule. Glad to see you among us again, Calliope. [He looks very relieved to see her, well, as much as Dirk can be. His shoulders visibly relax and he sets down the packing tape he'd been using to tape up a box.]

But hold up, you went home?

[Private | Video]

[caduuceus]

[Upon seeing Dirk relax, she does too, releasing the breathe she did not realize she had been holding.]

"Yes. When I first arrived here, Roxy told me she had met me in a dream. It seems my timeline has finally lined Up with that event, even if we are once more oUt of synch, considering her recent visit."

[Video]

[bonnypiperlad]

[There's still a lot here that Jamie's not aware of, like being able to come back from the dead. So he is very surprised - and pleased - to see Calliope again.]

Hey, you've come back!!

[Video]

[caduuceus]

"Jamie, darling!"

[Oh, now here is a welcome face to see!]

"Yes, I have retUrned. I still have work to do here after all! Have yoU been well?"

[feathery]

oh hey

nice blankets

[caduuceus]

[Orange? But she already spoke with-- oh!]

[ ᴛᴇxᴛ ]

[bowdown]

[ ᴛᴇxᴛ ]

[caduuceus]

perhaps. perhaps not. i woUld not be so hasty in rUling alternative options oUt.
keeping bUsy, are we?

[biifurcatiion]

It'th about fucking time. If I didn't take that long you've got abtholutely no excuthe.

[Sollux actually has no idea how long it ever took him to revive, but that's not going to stop him from ragging on her.]

[caduuceus]

"Hee yes, my apologies SollUx, dear. As I mentioned, perhaps something of my physiology gave the Gods difficUlties. I can't imagine it is easy with my brother here at the same time. Nevertheless, I appear to have made a fUll recovery!"

[Video]

[fishdouche]

... You really died? I thought the fuckin' Codesce wwas just yankin' my leg.

[Eridan blinks at the screen, doing his very best fish out of water impression as his mouth hangs open.]

[Video]

[caduuceus]

[Oh ajsdjh Eridan! After just slipping up with Asahi, she more than remembers not showing you how she actually looks; time to hold a pillow in front of her face!]

"Um, yes, qUite Unpleasant really. That woUld make for two accoUnts now..."

[And the Condesce, ugh]

"I sorely doUbt that pUt me any more in her favoUr."
