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. :)

[Each time Remy takes a bite of the food, he'll experience a similar sensation -- though granted, not as strongly as the first time.]

Well, when ya can't touch anyone...

[Tour guide Rogue strikes again.]

An'... the one all the way on the left, over to the left.

[cajunspice]

[Remy raised a brow as she let those words trail off, seeing the way she was nudging him as he moved her piece she indicated, as well as his own.] That so? Ya sayin' ya get that with all foods? Mon Dieu, hate to think what would happen if I ever cooked for ya, would blow ya head off. [Before he made a face.] Or how ya handle our current food condition. [Ok, the taste itself wasn't bad, but those textures, ugh! Once he was back on the WD Remy was going to have to spend time sorting out a way to make better meals for his crew.]

[touchofrogue]

[A quiet laugh.]

You're that good, huh? I'd have ta see it to believe it. [Because that is Remy's opinion of... anything he does. So yeah, highly doubtful skepticism, if playful.] Don't reckon it's all that you're experiencing now for me, more of an... approximation.

[She indicated for him to move the next black piece up to the left.] An' don't even get me started on that paste.

[Have you ever seen a person made entirely out of fire stick out her tongue in disgust? Because now you have.]

[cajunspice]

[Remy let out a chuckle at that expression, as yes, it was all too amusing considerin' her current form.] Tell ya what, ya can give me a hand tryin' to sort out how the hell to make the stuff half palatable, hein? Need to spend some time tryin' to make half normal meals with what we go. That or figure if the closest planet got a delivery service.

[touchofrogue]

I am a cook here. [Just sayin'.] Got plenty of ways ta make things almost decent.

[Just... sigh... Stupid paste.

Directing him where to move the piece when appropriate.]

[cajunspice]

[Remy raised a brow at that as he shifted her next piece for her.] Oh yeah? Funny, expected ya to be more 'long the lines of something more punchy than cookin'.

[touchofrogue]

"Somethin' punchy?"

[Caaareful.]

[cajunspice]

Ahh, don't get me wrong cherie, know ya can cook, [After all, wasn't that one of their first steps towards their mixed up little friendship thing they had going here, her inviting him to Thanksgiving dinner after his butt had fallen into Luceti? He knew she was damn good at it, both savory and sweet, it wasn't a case of questioning that.]

But 've also been on the other side of ya hits 'nd know what a punch they pack.

[touchofrogue]

[Aww, flattery will get him everywhere. Or something. It did make her smile at least.]

A girl can do more'n one thing well.

[cajunspice]

Oh, I know cherie, I know. [It was said after another sip of coffee and a movement of his next piece.] Would be damn stupid to think that, let 'lone say it to ya face, petite fire fille or not.

[touchofrogue]

See, now I'm startin' ta see your appeal. [Teasing, directing the next piece.] Lines like that are 'bound ta go right to a little fire girl's head.

[cajunspice]

That 'nd my stunnin' good looks, my 'mazin' skills, my smooth voice. [The last part was purred out.] Stuff like that.

[touchofrogue]

[Have you ever seen a tiny being made completely out of fire snort? It's probably strange.]

You wish.

[She indicated a move on the board. It didn't matter who won or lost, what mattered was that he was playing the game.]

[cajunspice]

I know. [Remy gave a flip of his head, as if to throw long hair back that he no longer had. Luckily it had grown out a bit since he had it shaved short in Luceti, but he was still getting use to having it short again.

More movement of her piece, then his, using it to take one of her tokens and moving it to the side after he had jumped it.] Sure ya can see well 'nough from down there? [He teased.]

[touchofrogue]

Please, your head's big enough that I could see it from the next planet.

[Indicating where he should slide her next piece, advancing through where it was safe.]

[cajunspice]

Ya sure ya talkin' 'bout m' head. [There was a full on grin and laugh as he said that, unable to help himself and it just coming out. It was so easy to joke around with Rogue, she could handle anything he put out and hand it right back to him. On the occasions she couldn't, well, they managed to repair the breaks so far, even if they were only taped together, but it was more than most did for him.]

[touchofrogue]

[Rogue laughed.] I said see it from the next planet. 'Not need a magnifyin' glass when I'm sittin' right next ta ya.'

[cajunspice]

[Remy let out a loud laugh at that, before feigning being hurt by the comment and putting a hand over his heart.] Ah! Ya cut me deep, chere, that just be mean.

[touchofrogue]

[She joined in when he laughed, the nonsense of it all appealing to her.]

Well, I am mean. [Said with a small smile, directing him where to next place her piece.] Ask anyone.

[cajunspice]

Ah cherie, ya say that but I know better. 'less ya without coffee, then I wouldn't dream of crossin' ya path. [More pieces moved, the game proceeding to progress.]

[touchofrogue]

Look at that, he can be taught!

[In the end, it won't matter who wins the game. When it's complete, a small puzzle piece will appear next to the board where nothing had been there before.]

[cajunspice]

Some things do get through this thick skull.

[As the piece appeared, Remy's eyes shifted from the game to it, picking it up and turning it over before raising a brow to her. His vision then shifted to the jigsaw, looking back at the piece in hand to see where it fitted in and moved to place it in it's place, but stopped just before he did and looked to Rogue again, as if to check it was ok to do so.]

[touchofrogue]

[The girl made out of fire nodded.]

It's alright. Ya won it. It's your way out, once ya fit it into place.

[There was, of course, a memory attached to it. But there was nothing Rogue could do about that. It was part of the price.]

[cajunspice]

[Looking down at the piece in his hand, then to where it belonged on the board, Remy hesitated before palming the piece and resettled back into his chair. Not yet.

There was still something weighing on his mind, something he had shoved away and hidden under the fun of their normal teasing talk to one another, with the food and coffee, with the game. But now, with it coming to an end, it felt still unresolved if he didn't say something.]

'm sorry for how he treated ya back then. He, me, whatever it all really be.

[touchofrogue]

[Oh. Well. That... was unexpected.

She'd cared for that Remy. Cared for him a great deal. They'd been through a lot together, and for him to manipulate her like that had done more than hurt, it had all but completely destroyed what had been slowly blossoming between them.

He had never apologized.

Remy was, now. She grew slightly within her glass cage to curl hands of fire over the edge and fully stare at him.]

It wasn't you. That's hard ta see right at first, but I know it's true. There's no knowin' that you in the same situation would've made the same call. Ya don't owe me an apology for him. [She paused a moment, remembering the terror of jumping into that ditch, the desperation behind that kiss, the sickness of betrayal, and gave Remy a small smile.] But I appreciate it, anyway.
