( for N-Z characters )

Before you post your toplevel comment, please:
1. Check the first letter of your character's name as its written in our tags. N-Z names comment here, and A-M 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.

[Keith furrowed his brow a little, and then nodded. He could understand the hesitation. He'd been scared when he started putting pieces together that pointed to his mom being Galra, after all.]

Yeah. Maybe. Ultimately, it's up to you if you want to go looking. If you don't, then that's okay, too.

[He managed a small smile, then looked back towards the fire.]

Mind if I take a look at your camera?

[this_loser]

[He thinks a second, then nods.]

Knock yourself out.

[As soon as the camera is in hand, Keith will find himself in the Regalia - the king's own convertible, hood down and warm sun shining down as it speeds along the dusty highway. There are four young men sharing the vehicle, Prompto among them, in the front passenger seat, gazing at the passing scenery with wide-eyed wonder. He suddenly swivels around to turn pleading eyes on Noctis in the backseat.]

Dude! Just saw the perfect photo spot. Can we stop?

[Noct raises his eyes to catch those of Ignis, who is driving, in the rearview. He sits up from his slouch, and nods. "Yeah, sure," he says.

Iggy heaves a small sigh, but no more than that, and performs a U-turn back to the overlook they just passed. Prompto throws his arms up the air.] Woohoo!

[The car barely stops before he's leaping out and bouncing around looking for the perfect shot, and then herding his friends together for a group photo. They all humor him with poses and smiles. There's a feeling of companionship and happiness.]

[tempredmental]

[Keith got up and headed over to do just that. When the memory faded, he smiled a little.]

You have good friends.

[Watching them do all that, when originally none of them really wanted to, was nice. And it looked like they'd all had fun anyway, which was always a bonus.]

[this_loser]

Yeah. They're great.

[It's a good memory, though it makes him wistful, and a little sad.]

I miss them.

[tempredmental]

[Keith put the camera back down and, without thinking, picking up the novel before he spoke again.]

[this_loser]

[Welcome to Lestallum, where women are in charge, and everyone is okay with that.

It's also stupid hot and crowded as Noctis leads the way down narrow cobblestone streets to the hotel, with its fans and glorious shower.

Prompto, enamored by the ladies coming off their shifts, some of them with arms thicker than his, feels the need to pipe up.

Noctis paps him on the back of the head and the scene ends as they trek onward.]

[tempredmental]

[Okay... Keith couldn't help it. He laughed.]

Man... sometimes I wonder if you and Lance are the same person.

[this_loser]

[Good to know he wasn't the only one who suffered.]

Nah. I couldn't be that tall if I tried.

[tempredmental]

[He put the book back down, coming back to sit next to him. He glanced over at the soldiers in the distance.]

Are they waiting for something?

[this_loser]

Here? No. But I can't get rid of them.

[They'll always be there on the edge of his mind.]

Back home, drop ships would bring them around. Sometimes dump them right on top of us.

[tempredmental]

Were they tracking you?

[Keith looked concerned. There was a lot that Keith didn't know about where Prompto came from, even with having gone through two calibrations with him. But, he knew things were tough.]

[this_loser]

Pretty sure, yeah. I mean, sometimes we'd come across them on patrol or whatever. But when they drop right in front of your car on the highway?

[He shrugs.]

They're pretty creepy up close. [More so, now that he knew what they were.]

[tempredmental]

Well, if it helps... you're not creepy.

[Keith gave Prompto a small smirk.]

[this_loser]

[He huffs a laugh. Good to know.]

Thanks, dude.

[tempredmental]

[From there, they started to wake up......]
