( 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.

[He laughs, giving him a kiss back.]
Alright, c'mon, babe. I don't feel like letting go of your hand so you're following me.
[And he just tugs him along with him. Lance approaches the fire, looking down into it.]
We should go camping sometime... Real camping.
no subject
Maybe...
[Keith's voice was the last thing Lance would hear before the glow from the fire grew and soon he was in the hangar bay of Sendak's ship. Hovering in a protective red particle barrier, the Red Lion waited, inactive, held in place with massive braces and cables. No one seemed to know how to bring down the barrier.
Suddenly, the doors opened and Keith, fresh from Earth, wearing his Red Paladin armor, came running into the room.]
Bingo. Let's get out of here. Open up.
[Keith stepped up to the barrier and placed his hand on it. Nothing happened.]
It's me. Keith. Your buddy. [Still nothing.] It's me! Keeeeeeiiiiith, your—I. AM. YOUR. PALADIN!
[Red stayed firmly sealed up... like she was mocking him.
After a moment, Lance, having been feeling Keith's building frustration this whole time, felt a suddenly sheepish idea of knocking on the barrier. Keith was almost embarrassed to think that he was going to try Lance's suggestion from when they'd found the Blue Lion, but here he was... desperate and ready to try anything. He brought his hand up and gave a small knock. Before any response could potentially happen, though, the doors to the hangar opened again and a bunch of sentries ran in. Keith gave a mental curse, activating his shield as he took cover from the weapons fire as best he could.]
I'm bonding with you! Hey! Come on! We're connected!
[Completely ignored by Red once again. Keith clenched his teeth for a moment, and then activated his bayard, jumping up and charging at the sentries.]
You're not getting this lion!
[Keith did his best against them, but he was still new to the whole Paladin thing. His fighting skills from home hadn't prepared him for something on this level, and he was soon in trouble. One of the blasts got through, and Keith barely got his shield up in time to block, but he was knocked back into the console that controls the doors. His shield still in place, he looked at the control, and then at the doors. He clearly wouldn't have known that Galra tech only worked for Galra and he didn't yet know he was part Galra himself, but he slammed his hand down on that control anyway. The doors opened to the vacuum of space and the sentries were sucked out. Keith clung to the console, grunting with the effort, until he was knocked loose by flying debris.
Suddenly, he was flying through space, untethered in the middle of a battle between the battlecruiser and the Blue and Yellow Lions. He was scared... very scared... Even his Garrison training, incomplete as it was from being kicked out, hadn't truly given him the experience he needed to be suddenly getting sucked out into space like that. It was one thing to know what one should do, but it was another to suddenly find oneself in the actual life-threatening situation... especially in the middle of a firefight of three massive space vehicles.
And then... she was there. With lightning speed characteristic of just her, Red swooped in, opening her jaws and taking Keith out of the battle. Despite her speed, she still managed to grab him gently enough to protect him and keep him from being injured. There was a sudden feeling of warmth and acceptance as Red seemed to thank Keith for saving her and defending her. As the seat slid into place and Keith grabbed the controls, he smirked.]
Good kitty.
Let's roll.
[Despite the effort, it was still a fond memory. Keith's relationship with Red was important. She helped him get through some difficult times and gave him a purpose. And for that, he was thankful. Having her choose Lance when Black decided it wanted Keith was good. Keith knew Red would be good for Lance. She'd help him grow. Keith had finally accepted Black's choice, but he would always have a fond place for Red and the family she helped him find.
When the memory faded, they were back at the fire again, Keith still holding Lance's hand.]
I do sometimes miss flying with her.
[His tone was warm, though.]
no subject
[He can't help but laugh, despite the harrowing part of the scene that was Keith getting launched into space. It's so her. As much as he missed Blue badly, Red gave him a certain kind of stubborn warmth that reminded him so much of Keith. Something he needed, especially when he was gone.
Lance gives his hand a squeeze.]
She talks about you a lot, you know? Well... "Talks". You know how it goes. But she misses you. I think she wants you to come along for a ride sometime.
no subject
We had a strong bond. That's hard to forget.
[Just look at Zarkon. Then again, Keith wasn't exactly some maniacal dictator bent on power, so he wasn't going to be stalking Lance and Red any time soon.]
You understand.
[Keith knew Lance was close to Blue, too, and how much he hadn't wanted to give her up during the switch over. It hadn't been easy for any of them, for a multitude of reasons. The bonds were special, and it also meant accepting Shiro's loss at the time. Not a great place mentally for the group, really.]
no subject
[He's quiet for a little, thumb brushing over the back of Keith's hand.]
It'd be fun, though. Just blast off in Red one day, go fly through some asteroid fields.

Not to mention the distraction it would be for you to take the time to do it.

[Keith poked him.]

[...Mostly.
He pokes back.]
no subject
[Keith just smirked. He knew better. Between columns of rock and large battleships, sometimes Lance hadn't been too good at dodging in the past.]
I still have a soft spot for her, you know. I'd rather you paid attention to where you were flying.
no subject
[Poke. Poke.]
no subject
That's right.
[He smirked a little, wondering if Lance was going to consider looking at more of the colored stars or head for that door. At this point, if he wanted, he could either use the door to see more memories or use it to wake up.]
