...And also these.
( for N-Z characters )
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.

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?
no subject
[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.]

[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...

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.]

Hello, Wanda. Is everything all right?

Thank you. You're getting quite good at this.

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.]

See if you can take over the pattern.

Very good. The more you practice, the better you will become. You have great potential, Wanda.
no subject
[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.]
no subject
He won't hurt you any more, Wanda. He's gone now.
no subject
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.]
no subject
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.]
no subject
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.
no subject
What if you were able to stop them from doing that?
no subject
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.
no subject
[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.

Applause and curtain?
sounds good!
