Rift in the clouds

[sugoku]

Who: Calista sugoku & Cain cava
Where: Calista's apartment
When: November 6th, sometime after the irc chat
What: They've needed to talk for a while. During the chat, Cain prompted Calista for the discussion and then headed over to her place where she's waiting for him



She waited for him. There wasn't much to do after the chat deteriorated into small talk. Shutting down IRC, she rose from her computer chair and stretched her arms over her head, holding it for a couple of moments and then dropping her arms to her sides. There was no need to turn off her computer, instead choosing to walk away from it and prepare for her brother's arrival.

This talk was a long time coming. After the echos and new information not only about the city, but themselves and each other too, it not right to keep hiding. In all honesty, they should have spoken sooner, like normal people would. For Calista, it just wasn't on her immediate list of things to do, and she could bet her brother's dragging of his feet was for the same reason.

The apartment itself was clean enough. It probably wasn't up to the standards of others, but what little mess there was, was controlled and mostly neat. Now it was just a matter of sitting on the couch and waiting while idling playing a game on her iPad. He told her he'd come after the chat was over, but that really could have meant anything.

It isn't that difficult to guess at what's on her mind, given the circumstances.

"Here." Cain hands off the red card to her. It bore an insignia on one side, and the word "METAVIRUS" on the other along with some design work. It looked a fair amount like a credit card.

"It's important to who we were - what we did, if we're to believe these are past lives."

[sugoku]

It seemed to do something at least. The iPad on her lap was shadowed by the appearance of a device just like it appearing on top of it. The device itself seemed to be the same as the ipad, but the design on it proved that it might be otherwise. The cord coming from it also didn't seem like any charge cord she had ever seen, looking down past the card at it as it showed up.

Her nose scrunched up, holding the card between two fingers, "What is this?" She used her other hand to pick it up and look it over. Luckily her other ipad was fine, because when she pressed the button to turn the device on, it only showcased the image of a drained battery and the text "ENETRON 0%".

[cava]

.... Well, that's not something you see every day. He raises an eyebrow as the second iPad appears, looking at the message that showed up when Calista attempted to turn it on. Enetron again. Stranger and stranger...

"It contains something called Metavirus. Whatever that is, I suppose. Some sort of program, I imagine... With it, the laptop, and a source of enetron, I was able to...create creatures from objects. I can remember making one using a power drill." He rubs between his eyes. This entire situation is giving him a headache.

"I imagine your new toy is no different from this computer."

[sugoku]

"At least it's more compact," she sighed. Nothing prepared her for this. Creating creatures? Metavirus and Enetron? All of this sounds ridiculous. Looking at the screen though and seeing Enetron across it, her eyes went to her brother instead.

"What do you think about all of this?

[cava]

"Quite honestly, Calista? I want no part of it." He shakes his head, before he looks up to meet his sister's eyes. He's been saying this to himself the whole time. As far as he's concerned, it's still true. Even if he's horribly curious about this whole thing.

[sugoku]

Calista huffed a laugh, smiling to her self as she leaned back.

"I agree. I don't want it either," It wasn't often they agreed on something. It shouldn't have surprised her on this subject, but still it was good to know that he was on the same page.

"I've told that idiot not to tell me anything else about Escape."

[cava]

Cain couldn't help but laugh a little as well, running a hand over his forehead. The sheer ridiculousness of their situation hadn't escaped him.

"At this point, I think he's afraid of us learning anything new. He won't provide much trouble there."
