( 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.

The chime and light both make Bucky drop into a defensive stance, knees bent, weight balanced. It's an old habit; the owner of this room might think he's trustworthy, but that doesn't mean that Bucky himself trusts easily.

Still, nothing seems to threaten and after a long few moments, Bucky takes cautious steps toward the door. He's just about to exit when he turns around to face the room in general. "Was this for my benefit, or for your own?" It's probably clear that he doesn't really expect an answer — that would be too easy — but he can't help asking the question anyway.

There are two answers to that. One is a long string of text that passes quickly by on the nearest panel: a list of observations in note form about Calibrations. They include such kernels of wisdom as subject has no control over which rooms they visit and room owner may not have conscious control over contents and memories of visits are inconsistent (because Bucky sure needs more of that in his life).

The other is an audio clip, part of a longer conversation judging by the tone and laughter in the response. The speaker is the Vision, and what he says is "Is there a reason it couldn't be both?"

[sinistral]

"Great," he mutters, mostly to himself. It's not an insult to the Vision of course; Bucky can't even imagine where he'd start with addressing Bucky's discomfort. But it has given him things to consider; namely, seeking out this mural, along with sorting through his thoughts about what these visits even mean.

Still, he exists the room with all expediency after that, not wanting to stay longer in a place that puts him on edge as this one does — and not feeling comfortable with the idea of being an intruder into what could (and should) be private.
