[ 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.

[...oh.

....right.

Taako flinches as he remembers that, technically, Loki is dead right now. Even if he's alive and well on the Marsiva now, when they get back to his world? He's very much dead. Not many goals you can have when the Astral Plane is the only thing waiting for you.]

Take up a hobby, maybe? Spin class is a thing I've heard of.

[ loki doesn't take it personally. ]

Spin class?

Yeah! I have. No idea what they do there, but you always hear someone talking about it, so it must be popular, right?

[He affects a different accent, his voice rising in pitch.]

"I can't come see your shitty kids' school performance, Karen, I have to go to spin class. I go to spin class three times a week and it's just done wonders for me."

[And back to his usual register.]

Y'know, stuff like that.

[ loki's lips twitch. ]

Unfortunately, I cannot confirm that. I've never met any mortals into spin class.

Could be for the best - you know how Karen can be.

[What kind of hobbies would best interest a god though? One that liked to read. Uh....]

What about poetry? Or bullet-journalling. I hear that's all the rage these days.

[ his nose wrinkles. ]

That sounds pretentious. Even for me.

[Taako gives Loki a quick look of disbelief before shrugging. If even a god thinks bullet-journalling is pretentious, he's probably right.]

Scrapbooking? Cake decorating. Mmmmmmmm, knitting?

[ loki takes on a pained look. ]

Please stop.

[Ohhhh he said the magic words. Taako's smile widens, growing mischievous.]

Painting? Clay sculpting. Train spotting!

No.

Hoop n' stick, then? Or learning to play just enough guitar to play that one song, Wonderwall! What about stamp collecting?

[ loki gives him a flat look. ]

Is this how you spent your time? Because it explains a lot.

[A smirk flits across his face and he shrugs.]

Taako's an elf of mystery! How I spent my formative years is unknown to anyone; even me!

That is a terrible thing to boast about.

[He holds up a finger with a grin.]

But I still got something to boast about, so that's a point in my corner.

[ loki feels this is the opposite of boasting. and logic. but he'll leave it at that. ]

I imagine those points will add up. Eventually.

One day I'll dethrone Merle and his fucking- [He snickers, amused at his own joke.] - nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine party points.

You should get on this train, my dude. It's fun as fuck.

[ does he want to know??? ]

I think I'll pass.

Either choose a hobby or I'll keep suggesting them to you.

Like going to spelling bees for funsies. Or making card towers. Or rock stacking pebbles.

I already maintain a ship. Is that not enough of a hobby?

[Taako rolls his eyes.]

That's a job, Loki. A hobby is something you do for fun.

What about aerobics? Water polo? Paint by numbers?

[ not to loki, but he won't argue the point too hard. ]

I happen to enjoy my captaincy.

And those are for plebeians.

You can like your job, but that doesn't make it any less of a j o b.

[Taako loved cooking. He loved cooking as part of his show, but his hobbies? Well, that's different. Cooking is his passion, he wouldn't demean it to something as small as a hobby.]

What about restoring antiques then if you wanna be all hoity-toity about it? Trampoline gymnastics even. Or... [He pops his lips] Oooh, how about - what the fuck is it called. Uh uh.... Entomology! The bug thing.

[ sounds fake but ok. ]

I think you should stop while you're ahead.

You gonna smite me if I don't?
