[Calibrations] Another Room Of Memories

WHO: Reeve Tuesti, OTA
WHERE: Reeve’s Calibration Room
WHAT: Calibrations Experiences
WHEN: June 10th to July 10th
WARNINGS: CW: Reeve’s Calibration room contains memories that reference a shooting assassination attempt, general gun violence, and the kidnapping of a child. Any item which might fit a trigger warning will have strike through text with the appropriate warning listed after it.

Welcome, dreamer, to the museum. Awaken as you will seated on a well padded bench, placed in the middle of an exhibit room. Glass cases line the walls with all sorts of artifacts and metal plaques labeling them. And amid it all is Reeve in a suit, pacing and looking very upset.

"What is this supposed to be, an homage to Rupert's damn foolish little self praising museum in the building? I'm not so conceited as to want something like this!"

This, of course, being some form of 'the greatest hits' of his life, most of which were behind glass. There was the model of Midgar, hung on its side on a wall. Nearby there's a case that holds a small human-like figure made of straw. In another case one might even see a strange stone with dark lines on it that almost radiates a sense of foreboding.

The things that aren't behind glass or hung out of reach are rare, scattered around like little treats for people to inspect. On a mannequin in the corner is a long blue coat cw: attempted shooting assassination that people might have seen him wear before on Agra-10. It's label reads 'Coat of Director Reeve Tuesti of the WRO. Near that is a suit similar to the one Reeve wears now, this one dirty, torn, and with evidence of some blood and burns on it.

Another corner seems dedicated to Cait Sith, showcasing a large white form with purple wings, upon which sits a black and white cat. Together the two stand an four feet tall, and they are definitely strange. Next to them stands a highly detailed model of a bipedal cat.

A different corner of the room seems dedicated to Reeve's companions, with a variety of weapons serving to memorialize them. The only open case there involves a long battle staff, in front of which is a vase filled with yellow lilies wrapped with a pink ribbon cw: referenced child kidnapping. This one Reeve moves to, considering with a sad and pensive expression.

"If anyone deserves a museum to their efforts, it's her. It was always her."

The final section of the room seems dedicated to what might be charitably called trophies. A massive sword longer than Reeve is tall, a strange shot gun, black armor, and even a strange helmet cw: general gun violence with glowing accents.

"I think I'd rather not be remembered if what is in here is deemed to be my 'greatest hits'."


[OOC: The secret to getting out of Reeve's room before the 'time out' point is to watch two memories, or to have a serious conversation with Reeve and then going out through the sealed door labeled 'Post WRO Wing' together. If there is a specific memory vibe you'd like message me and something special can be arranged.]
thepurpleone: (not so sure about this)

"Yeah, I picked up on that, but...I'm not seeing where you fit in there," Donnie admits, glancing back at Reeve. "You were saying something about a Mini..?"
thepurpleone: (whoa I did not see that coming)

[personal profile] thepurpleone 2023-06-27 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Whoa... so like...a magically powered, animatronic cat?" It looks way cuter than Albearto and his band members any day, that's for sure.

Donnie points as he steps closer to the other cat then. "So then this is, what, version two-point-oh?"
thepurpleone: (you're gonna do the thing aren't you)

[personal profile] thepurpleone 2023-06-27 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"Huh, interesting," Donnie hums. He has the general idea at least. Coming up in front of the other display, he can't help but smirk a bit.

"Definitely a big jump in the design. So this is Mini then?" he asks.
thepurpleone: (wait where'd he go)

[personal profile] thepurpleone 2023-06-27 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh," Donnie nods then. That makes more sense, especially looking at it by versions. Ah, but then it's movie time, so he perks up as the screen plays another memory. At least this isn't nearly as intrusive as some of the things he's stumbled upon.

"Whoa..." It's weirdly fascinating seeing something so clearly mechanical having what must be magic applied, and the results that followed. It looks way too simple, but Donnie can't be sure what all goes into that breath of life that Reeve exhales. "You're...instilling part of yourself in it," he observes. It makes more sense now as to how the man said he'd acted through them.

He does smile a bit at Mini, so much more simplified, so very judgmental. His brow furrows a little though as he notes the surroundings, so different from when Cait Sith was being created.

"...why the different space?"
thepurpleone: (what's that over thre)

[personal profile] thepurpleone 2023-06-28 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Donnie begins to nod. If it's Temba, then Reeve would have more limited resources at his disposal. Yet, simple as Mini was by construction, he already seemed to have a deeper personality, if one were simply to base it off of such brief introductions.

"That's pretty amazing though..."
thepurpleone: (I knew that hair was fake)

[personal profile] thepurpleone 2023-06-28 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
At least the museum has so far proved a neutral enough space that Donnie's not itching to escape.

"Heh, spies, huh. Mini kind of reminds me of SHELLDON. He's an AI drone I made. Kind of has an attitude problem ever since my brothers messed around with his programming though, I haven't managed to work out some of those bugs." But at least S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. wasn't trying to kill him anymore.
thepurpleone: (yaaawn)

[personal profile] thepurpleone 2023-06-28 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"SHELLDON started out as our smart lair assistant to help tidy things up and keep things orderly." Which hadn't been an entirely bad idea considering their lair was home to a lazy bachelor and his four teenage sons. "But...that didn't work out for very long," Donnie admits, muttering the last bit with the implication that he'd rather not expound on the why's.

Despite S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N.'s attitude and adoption of a surfer accent, the rebuilt AI's at least been helpful for now.
thepurpleone: (not as planned but as I expected)

[personal profile] thepurpleone 2023-06-28 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Stuff happens when you decide to program your butler AI to favor you over the rest of the fam.

"Yeah... They're a pain sometimes but we're still close. It's...been weird without them."
thepurpleone: (actually listening)

[personal profile] thepurpleone 2023-06-30 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
He was perfectly justified! It was payback for all the things they'd ever done to him, after all.

"Yeah, we're hardly apart, back home, and even when we do sneak out to do our own thing it's never been longer than a day," Donnie sighs.

thepurpleone: (oh...)

[personal profile] thepurpleone 2023-07-01 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Absolutely. He's fourteen, of course he's going to stick to his guns.

Reeve's insight should invoke some excitement, but there's nothing that's going to fill in Donnie's family-shaped holes and he knows it. "I guess..." he says, unconvincingly.
thepurpleone: (not as planned but as I expected)

[personal profile] thepurpleone 2023-07-07 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"Mmm." Does he actually have friends here? He's talked to a few people, sure, more than once even. Some of them seem all right enough to be considered friends. Tony's probably in that category- after all, who else would put up with Donnie after he insults them and then still give him a second chance and help him out?

He's not sure where Dustin sits on that scale right now, they had a pretty loud parting the last time they'd really talked. Donnie's still figuring that one out. It's not often he's had fights with people that weren't his brothers, after all.
thepurpleone: (hesitantly hopeful)

[personal profile] thepurpleone 2023-07-09 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm still getting used to the fact that people don't give me weird looks or freak out at first sight. Guess it helps we're on an alien planet and all..." Donnie shrugs. "But I guess we'll see how the social climate is once we ever get out of 'Calibrations'," he sniffs.

"Speaking of which..." He looks around, brow arching at the door. "That wasn't there before was it."
