[ Calibration Rooms ]
( 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.

I never denied that. But it is difficult to look at the good when the lie changed the landscape.

[ of course loki had good memories. but how much of that was real and how much of it was another lie was difficult to tell. ]

[brooklyn_boy]

[Now Steve understands better what Nat had meant when she'd said him not answering a question was pretty much still answering it.]

How many good memories from the last ten years?

[dothelokimotion]

[ er. loki has to take a moment. let's see, his life was a lie, he dropped off a bridge, thanos, then earth, imprisonment, his mother died . . .

geez ]

I've had some . . . positive ones. Here.

[brooklyn_boy]

[Steve does't frown but only because he suspected that answer.]

Positive? That's it?

[dothelokimotion]

[ he looks vaguely chagrined at that. ]

Yes? I died three times in ten years, positive is an improvement!

[brooklyn_boy]

[Steve shows his palms.]

Alright, alright. Fair enough. Tell me one of those?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki pauses. ]

Thor gave me something recently. A small strap to wear. That was nice.

[brooklyn_boy]

A strap?

[Steve doesn't understand Asgardian gifts, it seems.]

Birthday gift?

[dothelokimotion]

We don't have birthdays.

[ pursing his lips, loki conjures a brief illusion of the scene, when thor handed the strap. ]

[brooklyn_boy]

[Steve watches the memory and, at the end, is smiling warmly]

After everything you guys have been through. That's...real nice, Loki. It's amazing to have someone in your life like that.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki huffs. sentiment always makes him queasy. ]

He is the only one.

[ that's unfair because loki does have connections now in the fleet. people who care and consider him important. it's simply the usual veneer of self-loathing loki has never fully shaken off. ]

[brooklyn_boy]

For now.

[Steve the incurable optimist, everyone.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki merely shakes his head, but doesn't dispute it. this is a situation where seeing is believing and he hasn't seen enough to believe. ]

Perhaps.

[brooklyn_boy]

Time will tell.

[Steve shrugs knowing this isn't a fight he'll win right now.]

Until then, at least you have Thor. And friends.

[dothelokimotion]

[ his expression softens slightly. ]

I suppose I do.
