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.

Ino. You're getting this incredibly backwards right now, I hope you know that.
no subject
In any case, she's had time to process all of that, given that it was years ago, so she's not entirely covering up her own feelings on the matter in the process of making sure he's alright. ]
Like I said ... he's long gone. It was several years ago, and I've had plenty of time to come to terms with how stupid I was.
no subject
How stupid you were.

[ THAT WAS PRETTY DUMB ]

[ She pulls a piece of her hair between her fingers, looking at it before twirling it around one of them ]
-- I knew exactly what he'd been, what he would be if he ever forgot the time he'd been there. It would have been smarter to keep my distance.
I tried pretty damn hard to fix things, both because I wanted him back and because that's what the people who knew him thought I could do for him ... but he had -- too many problems for one person to fix.
[ She looks a little sheepish now ]
I guess it was a good lesson for the future, though.

It's okay. I'm happy now, that's what matters.

[It comes out sounding kind of like a threat, but he hugs her tighter anyway. This Ino is his now.]
no subject
You sounds so mad about it. Should I be scared?
no subject
[He is going to love the SHIT out of you B'(]
no subject
Believe me, I am.
[ She'll pull away from the hug for a moment to pluck a different flower -- a bush clover blossom -- and offer it to him ]
Here, let me make it up to you.
[ With a less awful memory ]
no subject
[Oh. Well. He reaches out, a little hesitant but not much, and touches it.]
Very generous. . . .

She looks up to the much larger man next to her, her (much smaller) hand in his grasp. He's sporting a very similar long blonde ponytail ... and, as he looks back down at her, the very same striking blue-green eyes. It's very clear that these two are closely related, but then ... ]
What about this one, Daddy?
[ Ino points out a bush clover hanging down from a pot on the shelf -- one that looks almost identical to the one she handed Caesar just a moment ago -- before looking back at her father. He smiles, and squats down to be more on her level, taking the plant gently into his own hand, the one that isn't holding hers.
"This one's called the bush clover," he says, "and wherever it's planted, it makes the soil much friendlier to the other plants."
Ino makes a thoughtful sound, examining the blossom herself now. It's clear that rather than actually knowing how to handle the plant carefully just yet, she's more just imitating the way she's seen him do it, down to the thoughtful "hmmm"s she's making as she turns it in her hand. It makes her father laugh a little silently, but she doesn't seem to think it worth reacting to. ]
What does it mean?
[ "It means ... a love that's blunt, candid ... honest and true." He reaches over to place a hand on her head, smoothing it over her hair as he grins at her. "Someday when you get older, you'll blossom into a beautiful bush clover, just like this one."
Ino giggles at the compliment, and reaches in to hug her father, but -- the memory is over, and he vanishes before she can quite get her arms around him, leaving behind only the emptier (almost colder now) flower shop, and an older Ino watching him with a fond little smile. ]
