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.

Hey! I know you! [He moves forward.] Don't disappear!

Hey, you. Enjoying the South Pole?
no subject
The South Pole? Is Santa of Claws here or is that the other pole? [Hey, you try taking in an entire alien planet's cultural peculiarities before getting to the fleet of the remix where some of those things don't even apply or apply differently.]

[It takes him a moment to place the name, luckily, he's known someone from Earth for quite some time. ]
Oh...that Christmas holiday? The guy who breaks into people's houses? Yeah, no, that's an Earth thing, and this isn't Earth.
no subject
Where are we then? Other than the south pole.

My village, within the Southern Water Tribe.

[Buddy!]
Is it always this icy? [Also, that was definitely not the name of a planet, buddy.]
no subject
[Earth, you go to check yourself. ]
This part of the world is, yeah. It gets warmer in the middle of it. [Who even names their planets? ...Well, most people, but still.]
no subject
That would also explain Twilight.]I would think most of them would get hostile if you did that.
[He nods thoughtfully.] Earth does that too. [Silly planets thinking they can have multiple climates.] Well, as long as I'm here I should probably look around, right?
no subject
So much is clear now, wow.]I know I sure would, presents or not.
Sure thing, go wherever you like. It's all open.

[He looks around and then tries the first building he comes to. Memories? Are you in here?]
(OOC: So sorry for this extremely late reply!)

[There are not, but he can head towards the small village or the big city to get something. ]
(Never forgiven, god!!!!!)

The old village really is very small. It's clear only a small smattering of people still live here. There's a massive tear in the protective ice wall keeping the village from the sea. Something very big ploughed in there at one point. There are a few things to explore while you're here, though:
A: A necklace, placed carefully in the snow.
B: A battle helmet, shaped like a wolf's head and made of hardened leather
C: A minature iceberg. It's unnaturally round. And glowing.
D: A circle of stones around a larger one
E: A pond, something seems to be swimming in it. ]

This is less one solid memory, and more a swirling pool of a lifetime. All through these memories permeates a strong, unbreakable feeling of family, of loyalty, of a deep love. First there is a very young girl, you have a snowball fight, she always wins (because she cheats) but you never really mind. The memory flickers- you are stood beside the girl in front of the ring of stones, heads bowed, the girl is crying. You reach out a hand to comfort her, she turns and clings to you, sobbing.
Another switch, the girl is older, so are you. You sit in front of the strange iceberg, arguing. Another flicker, another change, you're flying high above the sky with a strangely tattooed boy. You and the girl argue again, it's a little less heated this time. More memories pour in, some too fast to count. But no matter what, if you are happy or sad, friendly or arguing, the feelings of love remain strong. Throughout everything.
The memories finally settle, the girl is older again, a young woman now- just as you are a young man. She looks heartbroken. As always, you step forward to comfort her, as you always will.
"Sis?" you ask gently. "You okay?"
"This isn't how I imagined our trip back home," she sounds so sad, so tired. "I always assumed that once we defeated Fire Lord Ozai, the South Pole would go back to the way it was supposed to be. Our lives would go back to the way they're supposed to be."
Her arms drop. You haven't seen her look this defeated in a while. It worries you.
"But with Gilak and those protesters and all the unrest and now this whole thing..." she sighs. "Like I said, it's not what I imagined."
"Katara, I get what you're saying," you respond gently, you realise you sound tired, too. "But you and I have no actual idea of what things were like here before the war. Nobody alive does, not even Gran-Gran."
You speak what has been on your mind since you got back. Since you saw how much of your old home has been paved away, how different it all is. You're not sure if it will help your sister, you hope it will. That it will give her some semblance of peace, or at least something to step forward from.
"What if the South Pole you're imagining- the one where everything is 'how it's supposed to be'...never actually existed?"
She looks sad, but she understands, a voice comes in from the side, but the memory fades along with it, leaving you in the little village once more. for a brief second, it's like you're in the city, but it filters back to the village.
