i know you, that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
( for N-Z characters )
Before you post your toplevel comment, please:
1. Check the first letter of your character's name as its written in our tags. N-Z names comment here, and A-M names go to the other post.
2. Make a note in your comment 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.

[Kaidan stands again, brushing the sand off his hands, and he looks over at the picnic table]
Is all that yours?

[Look, this is a dream, but some of that actually looks delicious, okay? He wanders over, picking curiously at some of that finger food until he comes across the strange helmet]
What's this? [He makes sure to brush his fingers off again before picking it up]

[Ochako turns her head to answer, but suddenly the scenery around them shifts; the beach becomes a tiny apartment, little more than a room at the end of a hallway with a washroom attached. Ochako sits at a desk, holding a pencil and tracing idly over a human-shaped figure on the page. She's adding clothes and small details to the body, one of which is a very rough version of the helmet that had triggered this memory. Beside her is a phone, lit to indicate it's in use. On the screen is a picture of the smiling faces of a man and woman, probably in their 30s or 40s.
"I think the helmet's too plain..."
A male voices pipes up from the device. "Might look better if ya add some colour, kiddo? Somethin' ta make it pop."
"...Mm... but that goes in the note part of the assignment, not the sketch... let's see... oh!" Ochako doodles something else, leaning back once she's done. "Handles! I added handles! When I'm using my Quirk I can't always have my hands free to carry someone, so-"
"Ahaha, just have 'em latch onto your back, huh? That's my girl!"
"Hee hee..."
They chatter back and forth a bit more, discussing shape, detail, and a little about pressure points, though neither seem especially knowledgeable in that subject. Eventually though Ochako glances over at a ticking clock and gasps. "Ah, Dad, the time! I kept you up so late!"
The man just laughs. "Aww, hon, don't you worry none. I was glad ta help you out a bit. Yer gonna send ma and me a picture once you get it, right?"
"Uh-huh... that's a promise. Thanks for all your help..."
"Of course! Never a problem. Ya know, everybody misses ya here, but we know yer workin' your buns off out there, so make sure to get some rest, got it?"
Ochako is quiet for a moment, then reaches out to lift the phone, holding it closer, up to her ear, her eyes closing. "Yeah... I got it. An' I miss you too. Love you, Daddy."
"Love you too, sweetheart. Night night."
The phone goes silent, and Ochako sits like that for a little while, hugging it to her chest. This place, this memory- it carries with it the feeling of love. Love, and loneliness. It's quiet and empty yet full of dreams.
is it for them? is it for me?
it's for us.]

He smiles, turning the helmet over in his hands]
Your parents helped you with this, huh?
no subject
Yeah, they did. They've always done that- helped me, supported me, no matter what. It's why I want to do everything I can to help them someday.
