[ Calibration Rooms ]
( 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.

[He shrugs, and takes off his own glasses, holding them out for her to try on.]

[Okay, she'll bite. Nami puts the glasses on and then blinks, taking them off again. And then back on--

It's so much clearer.]

How does that even work? It's fog.

...isn't it?

It's fog. [He shrugs at the question.] Teddie makes them for us. He's from over here on this side.

[It is a mystery, basically.]

...okay.

[It's a dream, Nami. Roll with it. She crouches to pick up the other pair of glasses and offers them back to him.] So what happens here?

[He nods his thanks, and slips the silly glasses back into his pocket.]

Shadows live here. We fight them - usually because there's someone we need to rescue.

All right. [Seems legit. She doesn't know what a Shadow is, but she can easily equate it to monster. She really wishes she had the climatact, and then decides it probably wouldn't matter in a dream.]

So is there someone that needs rescuing now?

[Souji shakes his head.]

Not right now. We're just here to train today.

[Oh good. She relaxes.]

Well, you're the boss here. What next?

You need a weapon.

[Obviously.]

I can't just hide behind you?

[The point of 'train' may have gone over her head. But actually, she's mostly kidding. Mostly.]

Anywhere I can get one from? I'm good with a staff.

How about a golf club?

['Cause he knows where to get one of those.]

[She...actually doesn't know what that is. But if it's a club of some kind she'll make do.]

Sure. I'll try it.

[Souji produces a golf club from underneath his jacket and holds it out for her to take.]

It's not the best weapon, but it's better than nothing.

[...how did you even hide that thing

She blinks at it for a moment, then decides it doesn't matter. Dream, right? So she takes it, shifting grip until she gets an idea of the balance. Not what she was thinking of in terms of clubs, but this is longer and close to what she needs.]

Yeah. This'll do.

Good.

[And not a moment too soon; a pair of floating striped spheres with giant mouths and lolling tongues appears from behind her. Souji nods to indicate she should look behind her and tightens the grip on the sword in his hand.]

Now's your chance. Hit them as hard as you can.

[She blinks as she turns around and-- oh jesus what kind of monsters are they?

Her first swing is a little panicked, but she still hits, even if it's not as powerful a strike as it could have been--] I thought you said shadows! What's this a shadow of!?

That's just what they're called.

[He races forward and slashes at the other Shadow, connecting with a strong hit, but not quite strong enough to take the monster down entirely.]

Well, it's a very misleading name!

[Yes these are the things she complains about, but at least she swings again while she bitches. Her next shot is a lot more sure.]

[Souji would shrug, but he's too busy racing forward to take another swing at the Shadow. Unfortunately, his focus is off, and he overswings and misses, topping to the ground.]

[Ranty she might be, but Nami does know how to work as part of a team these days. She steps past and in front of Souji to follow up, slamming the golf club into it hard. It's just a dream, right? But--]

You okay?

I'm all right.

[Grinning sheepishly as he picks himself up off the ground, but otherwise unscathed.]

Nice work, by the way.

Thank you. [She grins back, hefting the club.] I kinda like this thing.

[Inflicting violence from a distance has always been fun.]

You're a natural with it. Are you ready for more?

You mean that's not it?

[I mean they were pretty easy, but...]

... There's a lot of Shadows here. But if you're tired, we can stop.
