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.

[Pavel nodded as he offered Remy a glass. It was a sad enough story to hear, but it was clearly something that Remy had put behind him.] What a strange name for a nun to come up with.

I'm glad that your situation improved... even if 'thief' is maybe not a profession that I would advise a child to consider.

[There was a shrug as a reply as he took a sip of the drink.] Ah, they seem to have a thing for namin' us after saints, seems I just got that one. Could had been worse, I could had gotten his full name. Remigius doesn't have the same ring to it.

'nymore than training to get 'nto Star Fleet 'nd possibly gettin' 'nto space battles later in life? [There was a bit of a smirk with his response back.] Look, no kid should have to steal to feed themselves, that ain't right, the deserve better, but it was the start I needed to get where I got to be. The kids we got trainin' in the Guild, their parents been with us long before they were 'round, it really a family business. They ain't forced to join up, but a lot wanna follow in their folks footsteps.

That you were named for a saint is even stranger. [Okay, maybe it wasn't stranger than if Remy was named after the cognac by nuns, but...]

I would not advise that either. [Smartass.] Fine, that's fine... I don't understand it [since scarcity wasn't an issue when Pavel was from and physical currency held little value, theft in general was difficult to understand] but I can respect tradition.

[It was ok, Remy didn't expect most to understand it, for them being a thief was a bad thing. And, yes, Remy wasn't blind to the fact it was 'against the law' and all that, he just had to be morally gray considering his line of work.] Ah, don't worry too much 'bout it, cher. Not like really had a chance to practice it much 'round these parts, just small stuff on some of our stops. 'nd ain't like 'm goin' to try 'nd corrupt ya 'nto doin' 'nything like that now. [A bit of a grin and chuckle to go along with that.]

Though I 'magine ya would be brilliant at the more electronic 'nd computer side of it all, hackin' 'nd all that.

I promise that the possibility of being corrupted by you is the least of my concerns in the fleet. [Pavel had considered a number of morally gray individuals friends over the course of the last several year; Remy wouldn't be the exception or even the worst of them.

He smiled sheepishly--perhaps even guiltily--at the suggestion of hacking. His less-than-legal hobbies were meant to remain a secret!] Aha... I imagine that I would be.

I donno if to take that as a compliment or an 'nsult. [Remy lifting to place a hand over his heart, as if he had been struck there and in mock pain, but also smiling at the same time.]

When in doubt, please always assume that I mean what I say as a compliment.

[He wandered back over to the Starfleet insignia, equal parts curious about the bracelet next to it and reluctant to engage in further snooping.]

Am I meant to touch more things, do you think?

Ya welcome to do whatever ya want, cher, that why this be a party, it's all suppose to be fun. [Remy then offered a shrug.] True, not all memories be fun ones, but I can only do so much with that.

[He then pointed a finger back towards the area Chekov first entered the room from,] Thing be, there be nothin' stoppin' ya from goin' if ya wanna. [Then a bit of a chuckle.] I never made it so people can't leave when they wanna, just no one tries the door. [His grin brightening.] Ya know, found that always a funny lesson to teach the kids at the Guild, they always lookin' for the flashy way to break 'nto a place, they never try the most simple way, 'til ya tell them 'bout it. Not always 'bout thinkin' outside the box.

[Pavel looked suitably sheepish once the door was pointed out to him.] It would be rude, probably, to stay and risk finding a memory that you would like to keep hidden. You have been a good host--thank you.

Be it rude or not, ya good company, so ain't a worry cher. [Plus it seems these rooms do tend to make Remy more open and sharing than he is outside of them. Maybe it's just part of the persona he gains during it all, or the more relaxed location the room was set in, but he was certainly less cagey in it.]

I would say always welcome, but lets make that for the ships or bar rather than m' head, hein?
