[Video Post]

[Calliope is sitting on the edge of her bed, looking at the camera, her teeth worrying at her lower lip. She peers at it intently and frowns.

She gets up. Walks out of shot. Walks back into shot. Stoops over the camera, her red hair falling down over her shoulders.

She sits back down.]

Sisters?

[Just one word; more than she has spoken in

Comments

[inspiredvoice]

Most of us, yeah.

[She runs a hand down over her face, imperceptibly relaxing]

Thank the gods.

[Only now does she realise how much she had feared silence]

Melpomene.

[inspiredvoice]

[She fires up the video so she can grin over at her oldest sister.]

Calli, baby, peachy pie. We were hoping you'd stop in.

[video]

[calliopic]

[Melpomene's grin is infectious]

Peachy pie? I shall take it, I suppose. I have missed you terribly, little sisters.

DARLING BABY GIRL.

BEAUTIFUL~

YOU'VE COME!

[calliopic]

[Blinks, and the shadow of a smile, which any sister of hers can recognise as true delight]

Baby girl? Then you are a mere foetus, little sister.

Re: [video]

[delightindance]

It's an expression. I missed you~

[video]

[calliopic]

I missed you too, desperately.

[She closes her eyes, visibly relieved now]

Who else is in this place? Grandfather was predictably vague.

[inthe_past]

Calliope! Oh it's so good to see you.

[video]

[calliopic]

[And that smile grows bigger; strangers might divine that Calliope is happy]

Kleio?

I - I had feared being lonely.

[inthe_past]

Don't worry, we'll always show up.

[calliopic]

[Biting her lower lip, though her renewed good humour is undimmed]

I do not know what I make of it. I feel, as the eldest, I should have led the way. I gather we are six, thus far.

Welcome to the Complex, Sir or Madam!

You're here because Khaos is a sad little girl who has yoinked you out of immortality for strange and stupid reason known only to her. Your mission, if you except it or not, is to, like, BITCH CONSTANTLY about your plight, wander aimlessly, and contribute to the endless parade of drama llamas who migrate here.

[calliopic]

[She's done it. Erato has done it: she has made her big sister laugh]

I don't bitch, sister darling. I inspire others to bitch, most eloquently.

[The system works.]

That's what they all would say if they all were you.

[ofcomedy]

Hey, Cal! Glad you could join us! We're almost a whole set now.

[calliopic]

So I hear. I am glad to have so many of my sisters near.

[ofcomedy]

Me too. I'm pretty sure I would've left if you guys weren't here. Mel was here without us for awhile which is super tragic. And not the kind of tragic she likes.
