[ 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.

[ loki cocks his head. ]

Why I am haunted?

[shroudedsecrets]

... Why you had that reaction on the ship.

[Even if she's not so certain she's interpreting what had occurred correctly. They were both cryptic creatures to a fault, even when speaking plainly. Rhetorically.

And she had not pressed, at the time. That was for others to do.]

Were you falling then?

[dothelokimotion]

[ a quiet sigh. ]

No. That was a long time ago.

[shroudedsecrets]

[She tilts her head.]

Then did you find your way out... through another method?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki exhales. ]

No. I was found. A monster in the dark lingered there and he . . . salvaged me.

[shroudedsecrets]

[That's... certainly a way to phrase it. She studies him a moment, before speaking again.]

At what cost?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki chuckles, though there's no humour indeed. ]

Does that matter now?

[shroudedsecrets]

Perhaps it matters not. That is for you to say.

[Or not to say, in this case.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki merely huffs. ]

I would say it does not. Not anymore.

[shroudedsecrets]

If they no longer matter, perhaps you have found... freedom from them.

[Whatever they might have been.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki can't help the wry chuckle that escapes. ]

To some degree, yes. I suppose I have found that at least.

[shroudedsecrets]

What matters is your freedom. As much as you may have endured for it.

[She glances away from the void, back to the room.]

There is much you have faced. What brings you strength, here?

[His brother, she thinks - somewhere in this.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ he pauses, weighing his response. ]

Myself. All that I am and all that I can be.

[shroudedsecrets]

[This was not the first time Loki had indicated as such.

And here...

Well. Made sense that it would not change, either. Even if she had thought it might be different, in a place of more vulnerability. Or perhaps it was something he needed to do, from what she had seen, from his portraits.

As much as there were layers in everything.]

... that is important.

[dothelokimotion]

Of course. If I denied myself, I deny everything else.

And it is tiresome. To deny who you are.

[shroudedsecrets]

[That strikes her in a way she does not expect.]

... Perhaps.

I am glad you are clear on such things.

[dothelokimotion]

[ a light snort. ]

I have to be, otherwise people would take advantage of it.
