( 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.

    Indeed. Still, though I have long since outlived partner Elijah, as well as anyone else I met on Earth in that time, I am enriched for the experience. It is better to have known him and lost him, than to have not at all.

    [A pause, because it always feels slightly wrong admitting something like this about a robot.]

    The same is true of friend Giskard.

    I understand. I feel the same way about my husband.

    [Slight flash of embarrassment as she realizes the implications inherent in that comparison.]

    I would never trade away the time I had with him, no matter how brief it was.
    thezerothlaw: (thinking)

    Then my interpretation is not unique. I am glad.

    [Fortunately, he's not embarrassed about implications. Probably his classification of 'love' is different from hers, but it's still love, right?]
    dancingmd: (smile)

    [personal profile] dancingmd 2015-12-09 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
    [Sad smile.] No, not at all. Though... right after I lost him, I don't know that I was as capable of seeing things that way.

    [Something flickers across one of the windows screens, but there is only sound.

    A man's voice, a new voice: "Is he still alive?"

    Daneel's voice, answering, and faintly hoarse: "He was alive when I left."

    There's a pause, a silence, then the man's voice again: "He isn't now. He saw you and then -- let go."

    The memory is silent again. Daneel tilts his head, listening.]

    There is a... reaction, when the Laws are in conflict. The pathways of the positronic brain are hindered. It is difficult to walk, to move, to speak. Perhaps it can be likened to pain, or illness, or in some cases, shock. When partner Elijah died, I experienced that far more strongly than I ever have. It took me some time to recover enough to leave.

    But even then, I cannot imagine not having known him.

    [Her brow knits with sympathy.]

    That sounds familiar.

    [Hesitation and then finally she asks what she's wanted to ask for a while now.]

    Daneel... do you like hugs?
    thezerothlaw: (is this happy)

    [personal profile] thezerothlaw 2015-12-10 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
    [He lifts his head to look at her, puzzled.]

    Hugs are a form of tactile communication, and they are... pleasant, for this reason.

    [But initiating one himself is... strange. He extends a hand, palm out, to clasp her hand or pull her into a hug, as she wishes.]
    dancingmd: (smile)

    [personal profile] dancingmd 2015-12-11 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
    [Relieved, she steps towards him, arms open. It feels so ... instinctual for her in a moment like this, talking about the passing of loved ones, to offer a hug. Because, sometimes, a hug can say a lot more than words can, but she hadn't been sure how he would receive one.]
    thezerothlaw: (curious)

    [personal profile] thezerothlaw 2015-12-13 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
    [Daneel returns the hug, very gently. The number of hugs he's received is quite small, but this... is nice. After a moment, he judges it appropriate to withdraw, and he does, slowly.]

    Thank you.

    You're welcome. If there's any time you want or need one, it's okay to ask me.
