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.

[The sudden slapping sound of the tent flap being yanked open jerks you out of your stupor. You turn to see Octavia standing there, scowling. She doesn't speak, only stares and waits for you to react.]

[Oh. It's her. She's back! Kurt is at a loss of words and waves meekly at her.]

Hey. Hi... Do you see me? [He sets down the sword and steps towards her in concern.]

You okay?

[Now, it's as if someone hits a play button, unpausing the weirdness that had been Octavia. She enters the tent with her usual purposeful walk, snort at Kurt as she passes him, soon dropping on to the bed made up of blankets and furs. Turning to face him, the girl offers a sort of grin.]

Guess you saw that, huh?

[He blinks and scratches at his neck, sheepishly.]

Um... Yeah. I saw... a bunch of things.

[Then he adds, as if it's his fault.] Sorry...

[That actually earns him a chuckle as she shakes her head.]

Nah, not your fault. Honestly, I'm glad you only picked up the sword. Hell, anything in here isn't that bad compared to some others.

[Octavia pats the spot next to her.]

[With that, he smirks more confidently.]

It was really cool. You were awesome! [And then he heads right over to sit on the spot indicated by her patting.]

[She can't help the skepticism in her expression and voice regarding his words.]

I got the crap royally kicked out of me in front of most of the camp and ended up being closer to your natural color than my own for a few days.

[Then his voice shrinks a little.]

It was still cool how hard you tried... and how you earned that person's respect.

...Sorry, that must not be the most pleasant thing to relive.

[Another chuckle and a light elbow to his side.]

Stop moping, it's fine, I promise. It hurt like hell, but it was worth it. I'd do it again if I had to.

[Octavia angles her head so he can see her grinning.] It's one of the better ones you could have seen.

[He smirks and looks back towards her with a nod.]

If you say so!

Man, if that was one of the better ones... You really must have been through a lot.

[Octavia nods, expression sobering slightly.]

Me and everyone else who came down from the Ark and lived.

I - I see. [He just... nods again, because he's not sure what he can do now. Words can only do so much. He glances away, hunching over a little.]

I'm sorry. I wish there was some way I could help. But... there isn't, is there.

[Now her expression changes to one of confusion, still with a smile.]

Now you're just being stupid. [She actually laughs.] Trust me, you do help. It's good to know there are people I can turn to in the fleet, and I really appreciate that.

Trust me - that's a complaint I hear a lot. [he says with an air of wry self-deprecation as he looks back towards her, now smirking again.]

Well, I'm here whenever you need someone to turn to. Okay. [And he says that with the placing of a hand on her shoulder.]

I figured that out a while ago. You're pretty transparent like that.

[Her expression softens as does her smile.]

Thanks, Kurt. It means a lot. Vice-versa, too, okay?

Any good luck can tell you! [With his free hand, he comically knocks at his head.] You see, there's just air inside.

[And that helps him to smile in turn.]

Fine then! Consider that vice to be... versed!

[She can't help it, he's good at making her laugh, which she does again.]

I dunno about that. [Octavia reaches over and affectionately ruffles his hair.]

Seems pretty solid up there to me.

[He laughs bashfully as his hair is ruffled.]

It's all meat, I assure you!

Smart meat, okay? I'm gonna make sure it stays as it is.

[Meaning she's got his back, however he may need it.]

Thanks... And I'll do my best to look out for you too, okay? You've got a good head.

[He gives a light chuckle
While still sitting on the bed, he glances around.]

So... What do I do now?

[Hand still on his head, she lightly shoves it away with a laugh, standing up.]

Whatever you want, I guess. I'd say go out and try to find a way to leave, otherwise you'll be sitting here for a while.

I don't think I'd mind chilling! But maybe I should look for the exit...

Any tips?

Yeah, leave the tent. [She rolls her eyes and does exactly that.]

Huh. Well that's an easy one!

[With a shrug, he heads straight out of the tent.]

[You exit the tent only to find your previous conversation partner has seemingly up and vanished. There's still the dropship and outside of camp to explore. And if you turn around, you see a completely different tent, one that's hard to focus on.

Where to?]
