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.

    [Familiar and unfamiliar. He's been...not here, but near here before, he can sense it. But he frowns at first, unable to place it until he sees the photo of the sceptre.]

    Ah.

    [That explains it, and a quick glance at the other photos confirms his suspicion. A part of him had been here after all.]

    Wanda?
    notmutantbutmiracle: (Scarlet Witch)

    [personal profile] notmutantbutmiracle 2015-10-23 01:27 pm (UTC)(link)
    [When Vision eyes the photo of the scepter, the blue stone at the top almost seems to glow in the picture. Curious reaction? Probably not at all considering Vision's origins. What would happen then if he were to touch the photo?]

    [The girl in the corner, however, does not respond in anyway to his question. She continues to sit idly, levitating and rotating the wooden blocks around in front of her face.]
    unbearablynaive: (profile)

    [personal profile] unbearablynaive 2015-10-23 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
    [Interesting that she doesn't respond; perhaps it's a construct rather than an avatar. Instead, he smiles slightly and touches the photo. A fearful thing, but not something he himself has any fear of.]
    notmutantbutmiracle: (What do you think about?)

    [personal profile] notmutantbutmiracle 2015-10-24 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
    [You suddenly find yourself lying on your back, staring up at a bright fluorescent light on the ceiling. The cold metal of the operating table causes chills your back, causing the hairs on your neck to stand on edge. You try to move your limbs, but you quickly realized you are strapped down. No way to move, no means of escape, no room to struggle. You try to relax, but, as the sound of footsteps draw closer, a mounting sense of dread overtakes you.]

    [You can't see the figure drawing close to you. His footsteps stop, you can tell whoever it is standing right next to you; yet, you still cannot see him. Then a voice, most likely the figures, echoes out from the darkness to your immediate right. The voice is low, a little raspy, the sound of a man in his early to mid 40s.]


    Well, now... let us see if this one offers any potential.

    [The sound of a machine whirling up by your head. It gets louder, the whirling faster. Then, suddenly a flash of blue light, and then blinding white. Pain. All you feel is pain. Everything in your body, your mind screams. It burns, every bit of you to your very core is stinging, blisteringly hot.]

    [You try to open your mouth to scream, but you can't. Somehow, in all the pain, some small part of you is able to remember that you have been muzzled. Like an animal. That is the last thought that crosses your mind, before you give into the surge of white-hot pain and start to pass out.]

    [As everything starts to fade to black, you hear the voice once more, now growing more distant, more numbed--like hearing someone on the other side of a glass wall.]


    Promising... very promising... continue your tests doctor. And do not worry. Should the experiments fail... well, there are plenty of spares...

    [Plenty of spares, indeed. No wonder the Stone was relieved to be given to a different type of user. As the memory fades (he does, at least, recognize it as a memory) the Vision feels a brief stab of anger but it's quickly replaced by disgust. Willing volunteers or not, there's no call for that kind of experiment on sapient beings, especially not with the cold lack of empathy present here. Aware that his emotional state might react badly in a mindscape, though, he focuses for a few moments to calm himself.

    When he's cleared his mind, the Vision sets the photo down and goes over to where Wanda's avatar is sitting by herself. Perhaps this time she'll react to him.]
    notmutantbutmiracle: (I can read him...)

    [personal profile] notmutantbutmiracle 2015-10-27 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
    [This time, Wanda does look up. Her movements are sluggish though, almost as if there is a delay between recognizing Vision's actions and her providing a response. She meets his eyes, giving him a weak smile. She still doesn't speak though. Instead, she just smiles and stares at him.]
    unbearablynaive: <user name=starcandies> (innocent)

    [personal profile] unbearablynaive 2015-10-28 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
    [It's enough of a reaction to go on; she may be "there" but not inhabiting that avatar in truth. So he squats down to be more on her level and offers her a hand.]

    Hello, Wanda. Is everything all right?
    notmutantbutmiracle: (a smile)

    [personal profile] notmutantbutmiracle 2015-10-29 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
    [She doesn't take his hand. Instead, she sort of studies it for a moment. Still saying nothing. One of her wooden blocks though levitates over and lands softly in his outstretched hand. When it does, Wanda looks back up at him, meeting his eyes. The smile returning to her face.]
    unbearablynaive: (doubtful)

    [personal profile] unbearablynaive 2015-10-30 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
    [He smiles back, though it's with some strain evident, and closes his hand around the block.]

    Thank you. You're getting quite good at this.
    notmutantbutmiracle: (Muted response)

    [personal profile] notmutantbutmiracle 2015-10-30 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
    [She nods her head. Her smile getting a little bigger, a little more life to it. She then cocks her head at a bit of an angle, giving Vision a curious look. She points up to the center of her own forehead, her eyes staring into his.]
    unbearablynaive: (mind stone)

    [personal profile] unbearablynaive 2015-11-02 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
    Yes, it's my responsibility to bear. [Does she recognize it? Possibly not.] As long as I have it, it can't be used against anyone.
    notmutantbutmiracle: (Muted response)

    [personal profile] notmutantbutmiracle 2015-11-04 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
    [She moves her finger from her forehead, pointing more directly at his own. She then moves the finger back to her own forehead. After completing the motion, she levitates the wooden blocks still in the air into a pattern between them. She spins them around in unison, almost putting on a show for him. She then lets them drop, actually quite suddenly to the floor. They clatter and scatter. She watches them tumble about on the floor, and then looks back up at vision. Her eyes staring into his once more, but this time there is no smile on her face. Just a morose, flat expression.]
    unbearablynaive: (concern)

    [personal profile] unbearablynaive 2015-11-05 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
    [Very interesting. Does she still feel silenced by those around her, or is it just that her recovery from that trauma is slow?

    Since this is a dream--if a very controlled, artificial dream induced by their hosts at Atroma--he should be able to act freely. So, if the rules of her dream allow, he'll use his own power to pick up the blocks and form them into a polyhedral shape, spinning slowly.]
    notmutantbutmiracle: (Gentle grin)

    [personal profile] notmutantbutmiracle 2015-11-06 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
    [Wanda watches Vision's display with the blocks, looking a bit in awe. As the blocks spin, she reaches a finger out to poke one. Oddly enough, it's almost like she isn't aware that she was just doing something similar with the blocks herself. When she is able touch one, she jerks her hand back in surprise. She then smiles broadly, claps her hands, seemingly entertained by this.]
    unbearablynaive: (mind stone)

    [personal profile] unbearablynaive 2015-11-12 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
    [The Vision smiles at her reaction and makes the blocks float a little closer to her. His eyes invite her to do...something? So he clarifies.]

    See if you can take over the pattern.
    notmutantbutmiracle: (I can read him...)

    [personal profile] notmutantbutmiracle 2015-11-13 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
    [Wanda looks at him, a bit inquisitively, but eventually nods her head, signalling her understanding. She lifts her hands, glowing once more with scarlet, etheric energy. She takes over levitating the blocks like before, and then does her best to mimic the pattern that Vision had demonstrated earlier. It's clunky, not a perfect reproduction. The movements are a little choppy, and the blocks do not move or rotate quite as smoothly. However, after a few moments of this reenactment, Wanda lets the blocks slowly fall to the floor, then looks at Vision expectantly.]
    unbearablynaive: <user name=starcandies> (Default)

    [personal profile] unbearablynaive 2015-11-19 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
    [He speaks softly.]

    Very good. The more you practice, the better you will become. You have great potential, Wanda.
    notmutantbutmiracle: (Scared)

    [personal profile] notmutantbutmiracle 2015-11-27 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
    [The girl smiles once more. Clearly pleased by Vision's praise.]

    [Suddenly, her expression changes. She looks scared, frightened. As if expecting what was about to happen, she backs away from the window-wall. Crawling towards the opposite part of the room.]

    [A silhouette is not standing on the opposite side of the glass. It's the figure of a middle-aged man, standing at military rest. His outline looks familiar, but when he speaks... his voice likely sounds even more familiar.]


    Is that all she can merely do?

    [The question seems to be addressed to someone else on the opposite side of the windowed wall.]

    She plays with her little blocks. Like a child? She will not be ready at this rate. We need her to be able to fight. To kill.

    [The figure turns and starts moving away, faint footsteps signal his leave. As his voice fades out on one last statement.]

    Continue your testing doctor. You may push her, but do not kill her please. She and her brother are the only successes we've had so far.

    [Wanda is cowering in the opposite corner of the room now. The man's voice... it had been the same man from the memory, the voice that came before the white hot, overwhelming pain.]
    unbearablynaive: (geared up)

    [personal profile] unbearablynaive 2015-11-27 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
    [As the memory plays, he stands protectively in front of Wanda. He can't shield her from the past, but he can at least stop anything more in the present from hurting her. When it ends, he speaks over his shoulder but is still faced toward the origin of the voices.]

    He won't hurt you any more, Wanda. He's gone now.
    notmutantbutmiracle: (Scared)

    [personal profile] notmutantbutmiracle 2015-11-29 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
    He will come back.

    The pain.

    It always followed.

    Never good enough.

    [She's talking. It's the first cohesive, verbal response that Vision has been able to get out of her. She still looks rather shaken, however, she is sitting with her knees curled up in front of her face. Her arms wrapped around her legs, pulling them close to her chest. She is not looking at Vision or the glass, instead her gaze is directed firmly at the floor in front of her.]
    unbearablynaive: (mind stone)

    [personal profile] unbearablynaive 2015-11-30 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
    [He nods, pleased to have her speak even if it's something so terrible as that.]

    He is gone, Wanda. You don't have to stay in this cell anymore.

    [Because that is what this represents, isn't it? That in some way she's still stuck in this phase of her life.]
    notmutantbutmiracle: (Scared)

    [personal profile] notmutantbutmiracle 2015-12-04 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
    [She looks up from the floor, meeting Vision's gaze. The fear still evident on her face. She quickly looks away from him though, back towards the floor and shaking her head.]

    I can't. I can't leave. He- Hydra... they are going to hurt the people of Sokovia. If I leave... the attacks, the bombings... they'll start all over again.
    unbearablynaive: (mind stone)

    [personal profile] unbearablynaive 2015-12-07 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
    [He nods acknowledgment - that's a good enough justification for them to have trapped her here with, isn't it? And obviously the torture (because that's what it had been, no use calling it anything else) had convinced her of its truth. Clearly there is still a part of her that's having difficulty moving past this stage.]

    What if you were able to stop them from doing that?
    notmutantbutmiracle: (Be careful what you say)

    [personal profile] notmutantbutmiracle 2015-12-07 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
    [The question makes her pause, both audibly and visibly. She sits there for a moment in silence, contemplating over Vision's question.]

    If I could stop them...

    I... Am I capable of doing that?

    [But then she shakes her head, her expression becomes more grim again and a discernible tone of anger creeps into her voice.]

    But it's not just the people of Sokovia that I am here for. I want... they promised me... revenge.
    unbearablynaive: <user name=starcandies> (Default)

    [personal profile] unbearablynaive 2015-12-08 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
    You are capable of a great many things, Wanda. Most people underestimate that, and it can be a serious point in your favor.

    [Especially if she chooses to use it to help people--which is relevant to her next thought. And even though that revenge is directed at his friends, he nods soberly.]

    Because your life as you knew it was destroyed, and you did nothing to deserve it. That's a reason to be angry.
