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.

Stefan, though, blinks back surprise.] Uh, thanks, but I've got this one covered. Think you could help with some of the others?
no subject
[He starts to move towards another box.] You sure you're alright with putting away the stuff in that box?
no subject
[He pulls out another item, and of course, it vanishes into thin air. Stefan sighs, but doesn't do much else as he grabs yet another item - this time, though, the book actually seems to stay on the shelf for more than a nanosecond.
As for the boxes? The ones closest to to Vash are labeled "Alesci, 2014," "Alesci, 2011," and "Alesci, 2016." Which one catches his eye first?]
no subject
Aka RNG's choice. Although he can't help but keep watching those few items disappear. He opens the box marked Alesci, 2011 and looks in, but is a little hesitant to touch anything just yet.]no subject
> an acceptance letter to Princeton University
> a simple silver band ring, with the name 'Alesci' etched inside
> a wedding announcement for Damon Ibrahim Alesci & Bonnie [smudged name]
and
> a seven-novel-long book series, some YA novels about teenage demigods.
Do any of these items appeal to Vash, or will he move onto another box?]

"Accepted into the class of 2015?" He pulls back, and he's laughing a little at the screen. "No, that can't be right..."
Except it is. There, in bold letters, Stefan Yunas Alesci has been accepted into Princeton University as part of their undergraduate class of 2015. He stares again at the letter, then lets out a cry of pure JOY. For as long as Stefan can remember, he's wanted to attend Princeton and well? Well, his wish finally came true.
Two people immediately rush to his open doorway - a young man, with black hair and a warm smile, along with a much younger teenage girl who can only grin back at the guy beside her.
"I think he got in, Day," She says, with her hands behind her back as if to hide something.
Day grins in return. "Sure sounds like it, Lettie. How do you think we should celebrate?"
Stefan shakes his head at them both as he rushes towards them; Lettie's faster, wrapping her arms so tightly around Stefan that he almost chokes on air. The three of them stand there a while, until Stefan finally manages to ask for air -
"Hey, it's not every day my kid brother gets into an Ivy." Day leans forward and kisses his little brother on the forehead.
Lettie giggles. "Come on, let's tell Baba and Umi!"
As they rush down, dragging Stefan along with them, Stefan can't quite fight the grin on his face - and as the memory fades back into the bedroom, Vash may notice that Stefan's now proudly sporting a Princeton University sweatshirt. He looks down at it, and grins.
> I'm so keeping this memory.]
no subject
He's almost disappointed when it ends, but still grinning when he spots Stefan looking down at sweatshirt with the same name printed on it.]
Congratulations. [He's not sure what Ivy means or really is, but he's pretty sure it's important.]
no subject
At the time, I was so worried I wouldn't get in... but I shouldn't have been. My family would've been behind me the whole time.

[He peers at the contents of the box now, smiling as he realizes the wedding announcement is there too.] And uh, Bonnie. She hadn't married Damon yet, but it was a matter of time.
We didn't always get along, but I'd still do anything for them.

"You're going to wear down the rug," Stefan teases, resting his arms around the top of the chair.
"What if this doesn't work out?" Damon stops pacing long enough to look at Stefan, with genuine fear in his eyes as he stops right in front of his brother. "What if Bonnie decides that I'm not..."
"Right before the gaye holud?" Stefan raises an eyebrow. "You'd think she would've wisened up earlier."
Damon raises a hand to smack his brother - instead, it hangs in the air at the last minute. "You know what I mean. She's really important to me, and I want this to work out, and--"
"You're wearing sherwani for her." So is Stefan, though his is far more casual than the elaborate South Asian garb Damon's got on. "Day, that's true love right there."
Damon scrunches up his whole face at his kid brother. "We're following her culture's traditions, yeah... but I don't know. Is it normal to feel this nervous?"
"I think it'd be weirder if you didn't," Olette's voice calls out as she wanders over, all decked out in traditional South Asian clothing like her brothers. Nudging Damon with her elbow, she gives him a large, cheesy grin. "Come on, we've gotta get out of here soon. The thing's gonna start."
Damon reaches over and embraces Olette. "Oh, shut up."
Stefan stifles a laugh. "She means it, you know. You and Bonnie're gonna be great. Just... take a deep breath, Day."
The memory fades into a feeling of warmth as the rest of the evening flashes by, with people dancing along to loud, cheerful Bollywood songs and Damon feeding his soon-to-be wife with traditional Indian sweets - and when the next evening comes, and Damon signs that marriage contract, the warmth almost bubbles over, like it consumes Vash's entire soul.
When the memories fade back into Stefan's room, Stefan's grinning from ear to ear.
> You'd better believe I'm keeping these memories.]
no subject
An important reminder of the day your family got even bigger! It looked like a really fun way to celebrate.
no subject
It was. [wry smile] Bonnie's family came from India, so they celebrate things a little differently than the rest of the world - and honestly? They sometimes have more fun than we do.
