Calibrations Waiting Room Mingle

WHO: ALL HE ROWS
WHERE: The Secret Tunnel, which has become the Calibrations Waiting Room (or was it always...?)
WHAT: Mingle log for literally anything you'd like to take place in the waiting room between sleep cycles during the event
WHEN: June 3 - July 10
WARNINGS: Please mark individual threads with warnings

For those that have heeded Ga Re's warning, the door within the secret tunnel - which looks suspiciously like the hatch to one of your shuttles - is wide open, waiting for you. You walk through... and the door behind you disappears. You’re now standing in a cavernous, cold, white waiting room. There are hallways leading off the main corridor with names above each. One of them has your name and will draw you toward it, inevitably.

And on the wall, in pink, running letters is written this single greeting:

‘Welcome to Calibrations’.


The secret tunnel has become a large waiting room with chairs, tables, and the same food dispensers available in the shuttles. There are also communal bathrooms - one for each gender - with several toilet stalls and shower stalls in each, including basic shampoo and soap dispensers, like you might find in a hotel. The water isn’t hot, so hopefully you don’t mind lukewarm showers. Somehow, at least, it never goes cold.

Branching off the main waiting room room are the labeled hallways. At the end of each short hallway is a door, with the same character’s name written on them. Anyone can enter any room, regardless of the name written on it. Everyone has their own room, though of course people can share. Each room has a simple bed (approximately queen-sized) and a set of drawers.

You can opt to spend time in your room or in the larger, common waiting room. (And if you do, you can thread it out here!) But every 16 hours, you'll feel a compulsion: You need to sleep. Right now. You find yourself going into your room (or someone else's, if you really want). But you’re drawn to the bed. You can’t help but lie down. And then, you fall asleep.

Plant Man OTA
There isn’t a lot to be done in a place like this, and it’s driving Tommy up a WALL. Well, not literally, not yet. But there is one thing. Thirty-six hours had been more than enough for him to bring something for himself to do. Which, in one case, was this. A large box he had filled with rich soil from the ground outside of the main city. Into it he’s working the remains of some fish he’d picked up from the sea but mostly only had a few pieces of left. Doesn’t even explain why he’s doing it, just just running his fingers through and through and through the dark soil.

Twitching OTA
Waiting is the hardest part. People think speedsters aren’t patient because of how much they move and just keep going. Or at least people think that of Tommy. Maybe it comes from the fact that he’s got to occupy himself somehow. Which in this case is with a bouncing leg because he can’t RUN around enough. And maybe there’s a bit of issue in how he also has found a loose pebble, brought it in really, and it flicking it into the air, letting it fall, and catching it at rapid speeds. Hard for the eye to follow. But it’s going anyway. Because at least it’s something to do.

Avoiding Open to anyone listed or CR he hasn’t talked to in a while
The problem with enclosed areas and getting bottled up like this? The people you’ve been avoiding for a while are literally RIGHT THERE. And there’s not a lot of places you can go to get away from them. From Billy and Teddy, from Tony and Jon, from the people he hurt when his own rage had overwhelmed him. Not to mention Hux and a few other people.

Geez, he’s alienated himself but good. But there isn’t much of anywhere to run, and all he can do is freeze when he sees people he’s been avoiding, going stiff as a board. Great. Confrontation, just when he didn’t want it.

Avoiding

[personal profile] wearingthestars 2020-06-05 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
As much as Billy's wanted to talk to Tommy, to apologize, to make sure he's all right, even just to have him yell at him if that's what he wants; but he's made himself respect Tommy's avoidance. Every time he was able to find him in the outside world he was gone again just as quick, and while he could use his magic to force it, he allows it.

Which makes this all the more awkward now, enclosed in this space and catching Tommy's eye. He freezes up for a moment too, looking uncertain and guilty before attempting an approach.

"...Can we talk?"

Reeve Tuesti - OTA

[personal profile] plate_builder 2020-06-05 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Free Sketches
After the first night, he resolves that he has to do something good. Something nice. Something to make things feel a bit better. Which is why Reeve sits out in the waiting area, a sketch pad open in his lap, pencils next to him.

“Is there anything I can draw for you? Something to liven up the walls? I can do faces, but I’m not sure how good I can do at faces I’ve never seen. But I’ll try.”

Mini Makes Friends
At some point Reeve turns his attention back to his work, either schematics for a robot or diagrams of the city with colors representing water works or power lines buried under the ground, or areas with buildings that are unstable and should be carefully salvaged from. This is a man deep in work, and perhaps hard to rouse out of it. Not impossible of course, if someone calls his name, and they are welcome to. But there’s something very interesting going on instead.

Come close and the stuffed animal, previously pacing and kicking at the ground in all the characteristic behavior of the bored, will looks up at you. They will bounce and swing their hands and maybe even follow you, miming behaviors. Looks like someone wants to play.

"I don't know," Tommy answers, snatching the rock out of the air with his right hand. The hand that's at the end of his now scarred arm. The scars don't stand out as bad as they would on someone else, but there's definitely a lightning shaped pattern on his arm of scar tissue, shiny from the burn. He hasn't bothered seeking Billy out to fix it, after all.

"Can we?"

See, snapping and snappy.
wearingthestars: (guilt)

[personal profile] wearingthestars 2020-06-06 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
"..." Billy almost doesn't hear the snappy reply, gaze fixed on that series of scars, swallowing thickly at that reminder of what he'd done, very nearly dissociating all together before he blinks himself out of it. His gaze drops apologetically, and he nods, debating retreat.

"I-...I heard you got-...that um, that you got one of the bugs too, but...I couldn't find you..."
doubled_speed: (Leave Me Out Of This)

[personal profile] doubled_speed 2020-06-06 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, he's caught one of them. And he shudders at the memory. He'd tried to kill friends. Poe, Cal, Wanda. It had been bad.

"I don't blame you for what happened, Billy. Not anymore. Not after that. I got lucky, Wanda found me before I hurt anyone for real."

And their not-mom was, if nothing else, VERY good at what she did. Oh, and of course, there was that lingering implication that Tommy HAD blamed Billy for a bit.
wearingthestars: (sad)

[personal profile] wearingthestars 2020-06-06 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Anymore. Billy definitely doesn't miss that implication. He expected it, honestly, he's not really past blaming himself either, but hearing it still hurts.


"Then why...mm- why are you still...avoiding me?" he asks. He's not sure exactly how to fix this, but he knows he can't do it if they never see each other.
doubled_speed: (You Make Me So Tired)

[personal profile] doubled_speed 2020-06-06 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Because he's been scarred. By his brother. Because Billy will always hate himself for that. Because he was still scared OF Billy. Because he failed to protect his brother. Because he was ready to die because he couldn't hurt Billy. Because he wanted to, if Billy didn't want him.

"Who says I'm avoiding you?"
wearingthestars: (guilt)

[personal profile] wearingthestars 2020-06-06 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
"...All the uh...avoiding, mostly," Billy said, trying for a teasing smile, though it's a little more awkward than normal and he bites at his lip.

"...I took care of Cal. He's okay. And Teddy...and uh...Tony."
doubled_speed: (Default)

[personal profile] doubled_speed 2020-06-06 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Cal was... literally the only person that got really close to injured, and he feels so horrible about that.

"Good. I... tried to strangle him."

Fuck his life. As for Tony...

"I know Tony is okay. He sent me a message to make sure some people got here. Figure he can't do that if he's dead."
wearingthestars: (guilt)

[personal profile] wearingthestars 2020-06-06 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
"...I saw," he winces a little, "He's all right though. He was worried about you."

"Mm-" Billy flushes uncomfortably, "You um- you saved him." He can never take back what he's done, but he's forever grateful that his actions hadn't left Stark permanently gone.
doubled_speed: (Default)

[personal profile] doubled_speed 2020-06-06 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Well, small things.

"You saved him, Billy. You got the adrenaline," Tommy counters. "And he didn't deserve what happened. Nobody did."

probably the first of a few, but this one is for arrival

[personal profile] in_extremis 2020-06-06 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Tommy had only been partially helpful when Tony had texted him after receiving the message from Ga-re, which wasn't entirely surprising, but did leave Tony frowning with frustration for most of the evacuation period as he made his much slower way around the city. There wasn't much he thought to pack for himself, spending most of his time hawkishly making sure some people he knew couldn't be trusted to work in their own best interests were making their way toward the tunnel, and searching the hospital so Jon didn't have to for any supplies that might be necessary to weather a storm. Plenty of water, anyway, and Jon's canister of tea, but where the fuck were those pills...?

He found himself trapped in the tunnel much earlier than he had intended. This was only supposed to be the first trip, and now he didn't know where he was or how to get back out. Rapidly, he counted the halls, recognizing most of the names, then dropped what he thought was just going to be round one with a pathetic slosh and rattle to the floor. Maybe one of these doors actually led back outside, he wasn't about to assume the logic here. Slowly, Tony made his way around the waiting room, knocking (why was he knocking? It seemed polite, he wouldn't just walk into Billy's room, he was a teenager once) then pushing each of the labeled rooms open.
wearingthestars: (sad)

[personal profile] wearingthestars 2020-06-06 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
He didn't know. None of them did. Billy looks guilty again.

"Without the CPR it might not have mattered. It was you. And I-...I'm so sorry Tommy. I know I can't take it back, but- it kills me that I did that to you..."
doubled_speed: (Worn and Weary)

[personal profile] doubled_speed 2020-06-06 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Tommy's hand, after a moment, goes to the scarring on his arm, and he rubs at it without really thinking.

"It... Fuck, B. None of that should have happened. I just, I'm sorry I couldn't save you."
wearingthestars: (sad)

[personal profile] wearingthestars 2020-06-06 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
"You didn't know how- none of us did- And you wouldn't-" Billy sighs, blinking back tears, "...You wouldn't fight me. I could've killed you and you wouldn't-...Please- if it happens again, don't let me- don't let me hurt you."
doubled_speed: (Default)

[personal profile] doubled_speed 2020-06-06 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Fuck, see, THIS was why he had been avoiding Billy. Because of the crying.

"I won't hurt you, Billy. Ever. Period. Not in my right mind. And I sure as fuck won't kill you, because that seemed like what it would have had to take. I just... wish Tony hadn't gotten involved."
wearingthestars: (sad)

[personal profile] wearingthestars 2020-06-06 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
He's trying really hard not to.

"If he hadn't you might be dead Tommy-" And fuck that still makes Billy sick to think about how close he was to doing that.

"I-...I never wanted to be one of the people that hurt you like that, and I nearly killed you."
wearingthestars: (Default)

[personal profile] wearingthestars 2020-06-06 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Tony wasn't the first person Billy was expecting, but after a briefly hopeful look that he was turning to find him brother, he offered Tony a welcoming smile.

"So this is new," he noted, "You doing okay?" Was this a social call, or a doctor call?

Tommy shrugs as he pushes off of the wall and starts to walk away. Slow enough for Billy to follow if he wanted. This wasn't something to talk about around other people.

"So what? You wouldn't have brought me back?"

Cloud would have made it to the tunnels, via his motorcycle. He would have brought anyone along that would have needed help getting to the tunnels. After that, his bike would have mysterious disappeared once inside. Traveling was made easier for him but he had to be careful. There wasn't a lot of time to keep making trips or fuel.

The young man noticed the labels on the doors and quickly went into his own room. That would be where he stayed for a moment. He needed to do a few things away in a room without anyone noticing. Cloud knew Reeve would probably worry about it.

He's almost done right as a knock happened along with the creak sound of the door opening. Cloud pulls his left sleeve down while tugging something else inside it. He's sitting on the edge of the bed looking right at Tony.

"Is there something that you need?"
wearingthestars: (vulnerable)

[personal profile] wearingthestars 2020-06-06 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
And of course Billy follows after, a few steps behind despite Tommy's slow speed.

Of course he would have saved him. If he was in his right mind. But- "If Tony wasn't there, then Jon wouldn't be there to stop me either. I would have killed you and then moved on to everyone else."

"You think Creeper wouldn't have acted? Doubt it. He meddles. Like a fucking asshole."

CLearly Tommy has OPINIONS about Jon.

[personal profile] wearingthestars 2020-06-06 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
"I think if Tony hadn't come out then Jon wouldn't have followed." He frowns though, "...What happened between you two? He said you met, but he didn't say what happened."

[personal profile] doubled_speed 2020-06-06 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
"Jon's a fucking asshole who deserves to be thrown into the sea," Tommy answers, which is SO not an answer. He keeps walking. Keep up, bro. He's going to school you once they're away from other people. Mostly just about 'don't be stupid what do I have to live for beyond you?'
