dreams in digital
( for A-M characters )
Before you post your toplevel comment, please:
1. Check the first letter of your character's name as its written in our tags. A-M names comment here, and N-Z 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.

they're excellent
Did you enjoy that? It is what dreams are made of. What magic can do.
The stills of Rene Russo inserted in there amused the daylights out of me. LOL
I don't know. Any time I've been in a situation in public like that, I don't really like it. But, this... this was different.
[He carefully removed the cloak, trying separate the two emotions in his head.]
I'm not really the type that likes being in front of crowd. I can see how someone might like that, though... if that's their thing.

Sometimes you do not believe in acknowledgement until it can be seen and heard.

[ whether loki wanted it, big or small, he knew precisely how it should look. because he knows what other people have. and he knows what he is missing. ]
no subject
I guess. Maybe, just... we want different versions. That's probably why I understand it, even if it's not exactly what I was hoping for. Having that acceptance, people who care and respect you, being part of something and belonging... it's the same no matter what version of it we want, right?
no subject
That may be so. I would not know much of it. I've never held much of acceptance or respect.
no subject
[Keith didn't know what to say to that, so he looked around again for a moment before spotting the glowing blue cube. It looked a lot like something infused with Altean quintessence, but he knew it wasn't from his own world. That meant it likely could be something completely different and definitely dangerous. He set the cape back where it had been hanging and approached the cube carefully.]
What does this do?
no subject
That is the Tesseract. An object that holds power over all space.
no subject
Carefully, he reached out to touch it.]
no subject
When it fades, it leaves a lingering sense of pain behind, like someone has taken to your mind with a scalpel. The pain eventually fades, leaving you with a dull throb. ]
no subject
Is it me, or is this Fleet full of people with painful memories?
no subject
I cannot speak for the Fleet. Only myself.
no subject
[Keith shrugged]
I... wouldn't expect you know about anyone else's memories unless you know them close enough that they would have shared.
[He gave a weak smile.]
no subject
[ thor's, certainly. a few others. ]
The mind is organized differently for each. I keep my pain out here, but I protect what matters.
no subject
[It made Keith wonder what 'mattered'.]
no subject
Everything I have ever loved is gone. Why does it matter what is shared now?
no subject
Just because you lost things doesn't mean a memory can't still be personal.
[He took a breath.]
I lost my dad when I was young. He basically was my world. But there's stuff about him that I don't share with just anyone.
no subject
What is important is kept hidden. Pain is only pain. I make sure it remains, unerased by the other stories told.
no subject
[Not like it was easy... Keith knew that firsthand. But, it was something to strive for, right? Finding peace?]
no subject
I could never do that. If I let it go, it'll be forgotten. And I cannot afford to forget.
no subject
[Keith looked down.]
Sorry. I just... holding on to something just made me angry. And, I didn't forget, but... I was able to learn to live with it in a way that wasn't as bad. I don't think it'll ever stop being there, but it doesn't hurt as much anymore.
If that makes any sense.
no subject
That is certainly true. But I spent much of my life ignored. Being told my hurts did not matter, that they were not real. I cannot let them go. If I forget, then what they told me — the narrative they gave me was true.
And it turns my pain into a lie.
no subject
Do you really think you'd forget?
no subject
I think the mind is not as reliable as we wish it to be.
