[ 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, that part makes sense to me at least. I know where you're coming from.

[The rest of it ... he's not sure if he could go that far. Thor knows the taste of desperation, though. He's been drowning in it lately. If he thought doing such a thing would give him a chance at finishing his duty though, he has little doubt. He would take it.

Thor smiles a bit, crossing his arms over his chest.]

It's a first for me though. You hear tales about things like this, but you're the first I've ever known to have done it.

Oh, sure. Most people don't go for it, even if they talk about doing it. It's dangerous- it can go very, very badly if you don't prepare for it ahead of time.

[There'd been so many debates (and straight-up arguments) about it with Barry, for months and months leading up to the day she'd actually told Taako what they were doing. Endless hours of pouring over research materials old and new, hunting for necromantic cults and lairs and even a college, weirdly enough. Secret sessions away from the others because gods, if they knew, they'd never allow it to happen at all.]

Folks get scared off by the whole, if you fuck it up you go on a crazy murder spree and lose your soul, or whatever. An out of control lich isn't a pretty thing. ...Well, they're not pretty in general, what with the whole undead part, but y'know.

I can see why. It's no small concern.

[The risks almost outweigh the rewards. But what's done is done - he can't exactly talk Lup out of something she did long ago. It's not really his place to do so either. She seems perfectly in control of herself around the Fleet.]

I've seen people overtaken by power before, and had to defeat them. As long as you aren't trying to destroy the universe I think we're good.

After all the years I spent trying to save it? Hell no. Don't worry, the world's in mostly-good hands.

[Chaotic good, to be precise.]

I'm glad to hear it.

[Genuinely!]

So, is there a way out of here, or should I go hunting for it?

Oh, you wanna go? You should've said something.

[He kinda just did. But even as she speaks, a flair of arcane energy passes through the room and everything around him, even her, vanishes in a sudden rush of darkness- and for a moment, just a moment, all he sees is a dim area wreathed in black curtains, a new room, even though he himself hadn't moved. Or perhaps it'd been the room all along, simply concealed. Hard to tell in this place.

Just as quickly the curtains part, though, fading into a soft white light. And with it comes one last snip of Lup's voice-]

See ya later, thunder man.

[-And he's out!]
