[ 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.

Yeah. I'm one of the ones that got away.

Only, it seems I've been pulled back in. At least, for now.

[Duo managed to smirk a little at that, moving away from the depressing subject of losing his friends.]

No one can hold me for long, though. I'll figure a way out of this.

From what I can tell, Monarch lady and I are physically in a different area than the rest of you. So that means we can't exactly meet up and plot outside of these dreams. And controlling which dreams you end up in or who ends up in your dreams is pretty much impossible. So, it's just me and her to figure this out on our end.

And, honestly, even if we could meet up, even if we see each other in our dreams... Atroma's watching. We can't trust that it won't be stopped before we can even start.

At least subconsciously. Physically you are still apart from the fleet.

[Lord Akeldama smiles, moving to examine the room merely because it gave him something to do while talking]

Hmm... yes, I wouldn't trust anything in these to private. I'm sure they will be aware that I have more information as well. Not that I am concerned, mind you. Vampires live for fashion and information, and I am very good at both.

I am Lord Akeldama, in case we should remember this later.

Sure thing- wait... did you say vampire?

[blink blink blink]

Like... really?

Indeed I did.

[He smiles a little wider than normal, letting Duo see two teeth are indeed longer than was normal]

But you do not need to worry for my presence. Even if this weren't your dream, I only bite those who willingly offer it. It is so uncivilized to bite anyone.

[Duo stared for a bit, and then slowly nodded.]

Right... of course, it is.

[Well, thankful for that. Duo'd met a few vampires during his time in the main fleet, but it still was a bit off-putting to think about.]

Good to know that you're at least... civilized.

One would hope they would all be so, but alas that is not always the case. Of course her Majesty's potentate would hopefully be a proper representative of vampires.

A potent what?

[Duo looked confused.]

Potentate. The vampire adviser to England's royal family. Though, I was appointed not elected by the hives of England.

Is being appointed better than being elected?

Appointed is not the usual way of doing things. Elected is the standard, but I am not friends with most of the hives in London. But we were in the middle of a crisis worthy of her Majesty’s attention and I was capable and present.

Capable and present seems to be the way of a lot of things.

[Duo shrugged a little.]

Sounds about normal.

So true. So true. And it was what needed to happen at the time as much as I do prefer my privacy.

Some people think privacy is overrated.

[Duo smirked.]

I'm not one of them.

So you do prefer privacy as well, darling? Then that is something we do have in common.

Oh, definitely. I mean, I can't do my job without it. Though, I am kind of known now, I guess, but it's not too bad. I can't do a lot of undercover stuff, but I can still do other things.

If you mean here, I would say yes are very much known now. Still sometimes I find the best information can be gathered in plain sight when no one suspects you. So what is your name, my dear?

Yeah, that's true, too. [Duo chuckled a bit.] Everyone wants to see what we know about this place, but really, it's not all that much more than you. We just were lucky... sort of.

I'm Duo Maxwell.

I would imagine not. If you did have some fantastic insight into our captors, one would hope you’d be properly using that information.

It is a pleasure, Duo Maxwell. If I may ask, what was the name of your friend?

Oh, yeah... most definitely.

[Duo's mood shifted towards something more sad.]

Quatre. With the way things seem to work here, though, I know that... if I do find a way home, he's probably fine. Back there. But, not here. And, well, it could get weird. I'm not sure I'm prepared for it.

I know you had the face of someone who would know what to do with good information.

I suppose it is something that you can hope for. Unfortunately, you are not in control in that situation.

No, I'm not... and it stinks. [He grumbled a bit, but then smirked.]

Good information isn't always easy to come by, either. You gotta make it worth your while.

I know the feeling, darling. I don’t like it much either.

Or you have to make good information you have worth someone else’s while.

[Duo pointed at Akeldama with a smirk and a nod. He was on to something there. Information was only as good as someone else thought it was.]

That said... don't you think it's almost time to wake up?

Hmm, I suspect you may be right. Then I hope I get the chance to speak with you again, darling.

Oh, you will. We're not giving up on you guys.

If you need anything, there's a special channel you can reach out to us on. You're new private network links up to it really well.
