Archived Hiatus
"Sim," Cali had been talking to her mother on the phone, "é..., é verdade.." She rolled her eyes a little as she agreed. Her mother called today because of the ACME news, but now she was talking about the fight after the press conference. The more her mother talked, Cali could tell her... -
Archived Hiatus
Calina Oliveira Corranos, as her mother might call when she had covered one of her brothers in mud, had gone from frightened to very, very angry. She snatched her arms away from Deric and swung her best one to slap him. She thought also to yell at him in Brazilian Portuguese, but he would not... -
Archived Hiatus
Cali hadn't been sleeping very soundly, she was first woken by the siren coming from the ACME Tower. Then a flash of lighting appeared without thunder and a lot of noise, with someone screaming "It's Gone!" came from the grounds below. The bomb expert looked at her alarm clock and then got out... -
Open Carnival
Calina Corranos arrived in Rio de Janeiro first, but she was quite prepared and ready to hit the ground running. Her brother in the Força Aérea Brasileira (Brazilian Air Force) was kind enough to provide her with unofficial logs of the area during Carnival, and even gave her air traffic...- Cali

Q & A Your character's greatest obsession
I'm obsessed with the controlled explosives. Often, you do not know how the rigged area will perform and a team will have only one chance to estimate where the force and debris will go. This started when I was part of ACME's team to implode several structures that were of risk in urban areas...- Cali

Q & A Describe Your Morning Routine...
There is not so much a morning routine for me. I like to shower first thing in the morning, and then I will have breakfast while watching the news. I spend some time for make up before I leave the dorms. I will go through the itineraries for the explosives lab as soon as I get to the Academy...- Cali

Q & A Your Character's Favorite Food(s), and how come?
I like Brigadeiros, it is like what you might call chocolate truffles or bonbon in English. It is soft and chewy, coated with sprinkles.- Cali

Q & A Your character's favorite color, and why?
I like the coral red, that is a little pink. When I was young, my mother had a necklace made for me with a coral pendant and now I use the color for parts of my wardrobe always.- Cali

ACME Spring Break
Cali Corranos arrived a little bit later because she had to make sure her vegetarian Acarajé (black-eyed peas bread with peppers and green tomatoes) were well done and not too watery. The Feijoada (stew) had beef so she made the Acarajé in case someone among ACME's international crowd did not... -

Cali thought this Russian was funny, but so far all he has been doing is showing his ideas of a good time. "You are ACME Agent?" she asked questioningly, "based on which sector?" She had the mild suspicion he was part of an exchange agents program. -

@Gudrun "That is fine, I am Calina Corranos, I work in ACME Labs," she introduced herself, "It is my first party also, are you a staff or an agent?" @Evgeni Gavriilovich "Seems to be not as much as you like wine, amigo," she nodded her head, a little impressed by that Russian swig, "How... -

For Calina Corranos, this would be her first New Year in San Francisco. She had moved here after her studies in the middle of the year. With time spent on her new job teaching at the academy and moving to her new apartment, she had not much energy to socialize. A blond young woman took the cup...

Did you know David Attenborough was knighted twice? First in 1985, and again in 2002

Jon Eckart:
@Lucy ... don't know if you really want wolf spiders in your home... I'd go for jumping spiders, they can't bite... wolf spiders are the fast movers, and they can bite. -
Jon Eckart:
((Will lose my ACP internet towards the end of the month, unless anyone knows about it ending sooner. Trying to switch my Lifeline phone to a better provider that doesn't shut me off after four and a half gigs of data, nothing but failure so far and "call here" and "it's on their end" and the back and forth crap... in the morning, it's time to demand the supervisor and might even get to harsh language (after three days of that). I plan to use the Lifeline phone tethered as Internet source, share that to my own router... I've done it before (it's messy, and not 100% effective, but it works). ))

Jon Eckart:
((The 'net is the main way to apply for jobs now, so I need that, and I've moved/changed Lifeline providers before without an issue, so no idea what the problem is. I have active Verizon through ACP, active Lifeline through Airtalk... is that somehow the issue? If anyone knows, please let me know before I tear someone a new one (ya know what I mean). After three days of this, and two days about a month ago, I'm ready to walk there with katana in hand.))

((And, thoughout this process, I want to port my number (have the info for that) and use the phone I have (Samsung Galaxy S9... gotten for free through Airtalk... note to anyone: if you choose a nice phone through them, you are locked into a 120 day "commitment" to get the phone for free, and they have a very hard data limit... once you use up your data, they cut you off, point blank.))
