#callisto & funke.

@freekzout sent [ BED ] for Funke & Callisto to have a lie in

They're at Callisto's place - not because Callisto dislikes the apartment, or spending time with Ruth. It's just not economical to squeeze the three of them into a bed, even if both she and Ruth were tiny.

Besides, it was nice to have a lazy morning without worrying about disturbing anyone - as evidenced by the way Callisto stretches alongside Funke. She's stolen his shirt, and realises as she alters the trajectory of her kiss (from his lips down to his shoulder) that she hasn't brushed her teeth yet.

"You don't have anywhere to be today, right"?

...let's see. Pretty much canon queer badass tank of a woman, plus Gabrielle, plus all the weird raimi bits and dunking on sorbo/hercules, and ALL THE COSTUMING, and admittedly some occasional shlocky writing, and oh wait CALLISTO on one hand....

Or the Slayer, which, while awesome, has Whedon-funk attached to the entire series, which hurt a lot of folks in the production and ket him catapult to even worse crap in other shows. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of Buffy, but this is about the series, not just her.

Xena. How is this even a contest?

[miidnighters]

Callisto offers a wry smile but let's the topic drop. She usually waves off any 'I'm sorrys' by saying it happened a long time ago, but something tells her that James isn't going to see it that way.

At his horror at the idea of her with his brothers, she laughs. "What, are they bigger scoundrels than you are? The man who just funked me in the open on a public beach just this afternoon? I'm sure I could hold my own, don't worry. Maybe I'll line you all up and take my pick." Hopefully he knew she was just kidding. Even if this afternoon hadn't happened, there was no way she would have tried to go after his brothers - partially because she was so busy looking at James, and partially because she would have considered them out of her league.

At his question, Callisto rattled off her address - a small apartment over her mother's shop in one of the less affluent suburbs of the city. Not really anywhere near the office or the types of places she imagined James spent time in. Callisto wasn't particularly bothered - it's not like he didn't know that she didn't have as much money as he did. If anything, the appearance of a fancy car like this would probably inspire more questions from the neighbours. "You'll be able to just stop wherever on the curb and let me out. I appreciate the ride."

He doesn't mutter out the jesus that threatens to push out of his lips, but he wants to. Fifteen is so fucking young. The memory of it was too old now for James, stuck together with ages fourteen through twenty, all vaguely blurry and marked with the same general time of when I was young or before I was married.

He does remember very clearly the time when his kids were fifteen, knows for a fact that's way too young to know how to deal with any of what she described. Jesus. "Metric fuckton doesn't seem like it would do either, but it's the best I got."

The mention of his brothers does scrunch up his nose, "Oh, god, no, wait, nevermind go back to dating guys your age, that's better than my brothers. I don't know if I could go get through christmas if one of them brought you over as their date." He shakes his head a few many times. Honestly, James wasn't entirely convinced that Jason and Jack wouldn't hit on her if he brought her as his date for christmas. Not that he was thinking about bringing her as a date for christmas at all to begin with— They went out once. Did that even count as going out? He should probably actually ask her out sometime, right? Tomorrow maybe.

"Nevermind, I don't need to laugh." He chuckled. Back surrounded by far too many high rise skyscrapers, the same mostly orange skies seemed darker somehow. The tall buildings hiding most of it from view. "You gotta tell me where you live, sweetheart. As much as I would like to say I have been to your places many times, I have no idea where to drop you off."

“You know how mad she'll be if she finds out you did this, right?” Fastwing asked.

“She's left me no other choice.” Sasha shrugged. “I love her but she can't keep me here forever.”

“As you wish,” Fastwing sighed, “just… believe me, once the trust between sisters is broken, it's not an easy thing to rebuild.”

“Your sister seemed to forgive you pretty fast,” Sasha said as Alicia carefully applied stencils to her bare shoulders and midriff.

“My sister was caught up in the relief that I wasn't dead.” Alicia chuckled, shaking up a small airbrush and filling in the stencils carefully. “I faked my own death and vanished for ten years, do you really think we had one heart-to-heart and it was all water under the bridge?”

“I mean, that's certainly how it seemed at the time, but—”

“—but nothing. I've talked to her every single day since we got back to Earth. I made damn sure to be there for her wedding, the birth of her children, and every birthday and holiday, come hell or high water. She won't say it, but the only way she can feel secure that I won't take off again is if I make the effort to rebuild the trust I broke.”

“So you're saying I should just stay on the ship forever?”

“What? No!” Alicia said, shocked, as she carefully peeled back her stencils from Deathsbane's torso, “You're not the one who broke the trust here. I'm saying that I know Pilar, and I know what it's like to be a big sister who did the wrong thing for what I thought were the right reasons. If you do this, she's going to see how much she's hurt you. She's going to feel awful, and you wouldn't be wrong to make her work to set things right. Just, go easy on her, okay?”

Sasha considered this. “Are we almost done?”

“I can't believe I let Sweettalk convince me this was a good idea.”

“She's good at that,” Sasha said. “Is there anything else we could do to make it more convincing?”

Alicia stepped back and admired her work. “Do you have any shirts whose sleeves you wouldn't mind losing?”

***

Four Whiptails had been left behind with the express task of making sure nobody could enter or leave the station. Technically, there were five of them, and secretly, their job was to keep Sasha from leaving, but the fifth was Sweettalk and given the circumstances, nobody really expected her to be very helpful.

This particular team included Tripwire, a smallish girl whose specialties included trapmaking and cross-stitch; Lefthook, a broad-shouldered seventeen-year-old who'd never met a punching bag she couldn't burst with a single hit; Backflip, a wiry girl with a taste for colorful outfits who’d earned her name by using her acrobatic abilities to move through a laser grid with her eyes closed; Ghostrunner, a quiet girl with a killer smile, dark brown skin, hair, and eyes, who could move silently and whose face was almost always partially obscured by a black hood; and Sweettalk, who'd become very close with her regular squadmates over the years they spent together.

These girls had three things in common: They were all born and raised in the bio-domes of the Colonial Moons, they were all orphans, and they had all been rescued from a poorly managed orphanage in the Callistan capital city of Xijing by Pilar Spacebreather and consequently felt a fierce loyalty to her.

Sweettalk was the only member of the squad who had not been raised in the orphanage on Callisto for her entire childhood, so despite her fondness for them, she had never quite felt she fit in with their group.

The four girls were presently in the docking bay leaning on machinery panels that perhaps should not be leaned on, gossiping, and chewing bubblegum.

“I just don't see why he's got to be such a jerk,” Tripwire said, adjusting her thick spectacles on her face. “I have no idea how someone whose sister is so nice can be such a smarmy know-it-all.”

“Yeah,” Lefthook chuckled. “That's why he got hit.”

“He's a good kid.” Backflip said, shrugging, “he just never shuts up. That's why I like that Cap made him Cookie's assistant. Given how fast Cookie talks, he's going to have to learn to listen in that kitchen.”

Ghostrunner smirked and said nothing. She popped her gum to remind the room of her presence while making it clear this was the extent of what she was willing to contribute to the conversation. It was around this point that Sweettalk walked up.

“Hey guys!”

“Hey Sweets,” Backflip said casually. “We were just talking about the kid in the baseball hat. You looking for Sash?”

“Nah,” Sweettalk mirrored Backflip's casual tone. “She seemed pretty bummed out so she's hanging out with Fastwing. I love the boss, but she's been real hard on her lately. I was hoping you guys might let me sneak her out for the day, just dinner and a movie, lift her spirits a little bit, and then back before lights-out?”

“I hear you,” Lefthook said, “I'd go crazy cooped up in the station like that, but no can do, unfortunately.”

“Don't get me wrong.” Backflip said. She looked pretty genuinely apologetic. “We all want to see Sasha out of her funk, but we're under direct orders.”

“She had me set up a pretty sophisticated blockade,” Tripwire elaborated, “an impassable barrier surrounding the whole station. No ship is able to enter or leave without the authorization code, and I was told to only program it into Ariadne's ship.”

“Nobody leaves or enters until Spacebreather returns from La Pesadilla,” Lefthook said.

“Until I return from where?” A deep, accented voice rang out from the doorway, and all four Whiptails started at the girl slouching against the wall. Her sleeves were torn off to reveal dark black tattoos spiraling across her warm brown shoulders and all the way around her torso, and silver gleamed from the piercings on her eyebrows and nose.

“Spacebreather!” Backflip smiled and rushed over. “I can't believe you're back so soon!”

“I never left,” she said, eyes narrow. “I suspected Sweettalk would pull a trick like this, so I waited until everyone thought I was gone and I watched her.”

“Oh—oh god, Spacebreather, I am—” Sweettalk let out several uncharacteristic stammers. “I am so so sorry, I just wanted to—”

“—Save it,” she said, “I gave you a direct order to stay here and guard the station, and you're about to abandon your post to take my sister on, what, a date?!”

The four Whiptails left to guard the ship all froze. If Spacebreather knew about Sasha and Sweettalk's relationship, there was a strong chance they were about to come to blows, and none of them exactly wanted to choose between two close friends that day. Nobody could see it under her hood, but Ghostrunner raised her eyebrows in suspicion.

“I'm sorry, boss.” Sweettalk hung her head.

The boss narrowed her eyes and did not break eye contact with Sweettalk. “Tripwire, I need you to authorize another one of those shuttles. We have a second contact who might be able to help us get a handle on this impostor situation.”

At this point, the four Whiptails were feeling sufficiently uncomfortable. “Yes, boss,” Tripwire muttered,  scrambling over to the nearest shuttle.

“I'll just, uh, um”—Sweettalk stumbled over her words again and started to hurry past the boss—“I'm going to go back to my quarters, I'm sorry, I—”

“Oh no you don't.” Sweettalk found herself pulled back by the collar of her shirt. “Like I'm going to let you stay with Sasha unattended after what I just caught you doing. You're coming with me. Backflip, Ghostrunner, get in the shuttle. Tripwire, Lefthook, stay behind and make sure no one else tries to sneak my sister past this barricade. In fact, go find her. I want to make sure this miscreant”—Pilar gave the shirt a yank—“hasn't rigged up a slapdash teleport somewhere.”

“Yes, boss,” the girls all said. They started moving quickly and with purpose to their new posts.

When they were all out of earshot, Sweettalk spoke. “Gotta say, the tattoos are doing it for me.”

“Don't be gross, I look like my sister,” Sasha said, exasperated, dropping the deep voice she'd put on.

“You always look like your sister,” Sweettalk replied, “you two could be twins.”

“I still can't believe I fooled those guys.” Sasha sighed. “They're going to be so mad at me when they find out.”

“Fastwing did a hell of a job with the tattoos. The ripped shirt was a nice touch,” Sweettalk commented, “and I know those girls. They agree that you should be allowed to come and go as you please just like everyone else. They're going to feel stupid when we tell them they've been duped and then they're going to be glad you found a way out of the ship that doesn't put them in the doghouse with your sister.”

“Yeah, the only one my sister's going to be mad at is me,” Sasha said, “she's going to kill me when she finds out we did this, Zee.”

“No, she's going to kill me,” Sweettalk replied, “and there's a fair chance she was going to do that anyway.”

“We are going to tell them, right?” Sasha asked. “Like, we're not going to wait until Pilar gets home and let her tell them?”

“We only need to get past the barrier,” Sweettalk explained, “then we can tell our squad and send a message back to the station.”

Tripwire called over from outside the docked shuttle. “We are ready to go on your command, boss!”

“Waitin' on you!” Backflip's voice called from inside the shuttle.

“Be right there!” Sasha called back in her deep imitation of Pilar's voice. “Just having a few more words with this, uh, foul villain!”

“Foul villain?” Sweettalk laughed as quietly as possible.

“I am under a lot of stress right now!” Sasha whispered, and it was clear she was telling the truth. Ordinarily, she had few remaining traces of a Martian accent, but when she was under pressure, she tended to have a little more of the hissing S and dropped consonants characteristic of New Moyamensing.

“Now”—Sasha tugged on Sweettalk's collar in mock anger—“pretend you're filled with dread and get on that shuttle.”

@freekzout | bc we were talking about it

She'd slipped a do you want to go on a date with me? note in the pocket of his jacket, with a time and place detailed at the bottom in her neat handwriting. The time being Friday evening, and the place being the rooftop. Their rooftop. It's warming up, so she's wearing something a little nicer - a strappy black dress, paired with her customary boots. Useful, since she'd made several trips to haul up a basket of food and other supplies. Now, Callisto toys with the blanket she'd set out while she waits for him to arrive.

[freekzout]

@miidnighters cont. from x

it wouldn't be fair to say that kindness was new for funke; that would be doing a disservice to our friend ruth byrne. although even she would admit that her idea of affection isn't always as hands-on as what he might prefer, and what he's got with callisto, he's only ever been able to find with callisto, since no one outside of his family -- even then, it's limited to his mother, and a few of the more touchy-feely Aunts -- wants to put themselves through this.

it just... doesn't seem worth it.

to her shrewd question, he huffs out a sigh, the hot air blowing against her neck. he doesn't say anything, for a while, until eventually, he concedes that it was less than satisfactory.

"i wanna hear about yours, so i can forget about mine," he requests. "don't skimp on the deetz! tell me everything: the ins, the outs, the shake-it-all-abouts."

and he does want to know everything.

but mostly, he wants to listen to her voice.

[wastewaifs]

@miidnighters said: The box is held out to Funke in her usual brusque and seemingly impatient manner. Callisto hasn't outright said they're friends yet, but the offering of a Christmas gift at all would betray her true feelings. Inside the box, sitting within its colour-coordinated tissue paper, is a set of cassette tapes of bands Callisto has heard him mention, but is pretty sure he doesn't have. Underneath those is a portable cassette player, headphones rolled up neatly.

at this stage in the game calli hadn't said they were friends yet, but it's mighty clear these days what they are.

"what!" he's only taken the lid off. now there's the rustle-rustle as his hands move down through the layers of brightly-coloured paper. "cals, this is -- this is too much. hey, supertramp! niiiice. iron maiden... wait. dude?! that's a freakin'--"

he's gotten to the player. he's holding it up, and showing callisto. in his shocked gesticulation, he's shaking it a little bit more than what's recommended.

"did you know this was in here? you can't give me all of this! what're you gonna listen to your tapes on?" well, of course she can borrow his, and -- distantly -- he is considering the possibility that callie might have her own set, and this is not a hand-me-down. (which he'd be just as thrilled with, by the way. he's received and adored many secondhand gifts in his lifetime.)

immediately, he starts to lean over, arms outstretched to the sides. something stops him. it starts with an s and reminds with fink, and it has been known to stick to people. "i... wanna hug you. i need to hug you, after this. is that cool?"
