Before you post your topcomment, please:
1. Check the first letter of your character's name as its written in our tags. A-M names go to the other post, and N-Z names comment here.
2. Make a note in your topcomment if anything especially triggering or graphic might show up in the Calibration. If you're not sure if something's worth noting or not, we suggest listing it anyway, just to err on the side of caution.
3. Put your character's name (it can be shortened or different from the tag, this time) in the subject of your comment. This will help visitors find you easily, and help us update the list below.
4. Post your comment! It's fine if everyone's Calibrations end up looking and reading very different from one another. As long as you're having fun and following our guidelines, you're good to go. :)
5. If you have any questions or concerns during Calibrations, you are welcome to send them towards the mod team at any time, as always.

So he leans on the counter and gives her a shy smile.]
Thanks! No one special, unfortunately - unless you count a kid sister. You think she'd like jasmines?
no subject
I don't see why not. The jasmine symbolizes "attachment" -- she'd probably be happy to know you feel attached to her.
no subject
[He pauses, tilting his head to the side. Olette's not even on the Fleet, and yet he's thinking about what kind of flowers she'd like? Maybe he's more homesick than he'd like to admit.]
What else would you recommend?
no subject
[ She's moving to come out from behind the counter, retrieving some scissors from her apron to get to cutting some jasmine blossoms off. She pauses, though, tapping her chin thoughtfully ]
That depends, I guess. I'd have to know more about your sister and your relationship to say what would really fit.
no subject
[He's grinning, just thinking back to those days. It's been a while since he's seen her commandeer the family kitchen.] I used to get so annoyed every time, because she'd eat some. Only some, and then sends her cookies and cupcakes to some poor sap.
She's my kid sister, even though she's closer to eighteen now. Kind of hard for me to put a label on that kind of relationship, especially since I haven't seen her in a while.
no subject
[ She looks back at the flowers, thinking for a moment, before she snatches up a purple columbine, arranging it in the center, surrounded by jasmine. It's not exactly the perfect bouquet, but she's gotta work with the small selection she has for now. ]
The purple columbine represents a resolve to win, which sounds like it matches up perfectly with her. Together with the jasmine, it's more of a ... you know, you're thinking of her fondly and hope she punches life's struggles in the face, kinda bouquet.
What do you think?
no subject
Perfect. You really know what you're talking about - I wouldn't have guessed what any of these flowers mean.
[Nor would he have much reason to, when he usually buys Olette baking supplies as a present. Stefan reaches out to touch them, if only to try and see what the columbine smells like.]
no subject
The flower shop vanishes, and it's replaced by a huge room -- an arena of sorts, with a high balcony all the way around. It's fairly sparsely decorated, aside from a massive pair of arms extending from the wall, and a rudimentary digital screen displaying two names:
vs
YAMANAKA INO
Ino looks much younger here, no more than twelve, and both her and the other girl look exhausted, dirty, bruised, and out of breath.
He can feel an overwhelming sense of frustration and irritation from Ino, like she'd like nothing more than to punch the other girl unconscious. That she has to beat this girl, to make her understand. And yet ... there's a glimmer of affection, of attachment ... ]
This isn't how this match was supposed to go! How can you be evenly matched with me?!
[ I was supposed to be winning by now! How did she get this good?
The other girl just smirks, her voice smug and clearly taunting as she replies.
"I guess you're right, Ino. Your obsession with your looks and your hair can't be surpassed. I've been training too hard to worry about that stuff."
There's a pang in Ino's chest, and she almost growls, pulling a knife from the pouch attached to her leg.
She thinks she can rile me up and make me lose, huh? Well, I'll show her ...
Although it's (sort of) staged, Ino sounds just as Sakura probably wants her to when she replies -- angry and upset. ]
You're gonna pay for that. I've had enough of you making fun of me!
[ She reaches up with the knife, and after the smallest moment of hesitation, she grabs her long ponytail and slices it off with the knife, much to the other girl's surprise. ]
THAT'S IT!!
[ She lets out a frustrated scream, throwing her hair across the room at the other girl. ]
SEE?! I DON'T NEED THIS!! And I'm going to put an end to this RIGHT NOW!
[ She clasps her hands together, much like the massive hands on the wall. ]
Get ready to tell everyone you lost to ME!
[ But before she can finish whatever it was she was planning to do, the floor vanishes from beneath them, and the flower shop returns. ]
Ah -- whoops.
no subject
He's not sure what he was expecting when he touched the columbine, but it definitely wasn't that. Stefan knows that feeling, of a rival unexpectedly surpassing you - though his rivalries were purely academic.
Even though he knows his hair isn't anywhere near as long as the flower shop owner's, he still instinctively reaches for where the hair would've been cut. Good. His hero hair's intact.
Give him a minute, this'll take a bit to process, though all he can lamely blurt out is:]
I don't think she's having THAT kind of struggle.
no subject
Ah ... sorry about that. Bit of a different interpretation, there.
no subject
[He's struggling to hold in a laugh, now that he's able to take the memory in better.] So you're Ino, huh? It's good to finally put a face to the name.
no subject
[ She looks down at herself, before glancing back up at him ]
I guess I am a little older in here.
no subject
Gotta say, Ino, that's some dedication you've got.
[Like Stefan was gonna mess with her before. He just has extra incentive to never think about it now.]
no subject
Getting promoted is serious business. I wasn't about to lose if I could help it.
no subject
Of course not. If you're going to do something, especially something important like that, you've gonna give it your all.
