You can't hide from your problems | Calibrations
WHO: Billy Kaplan, OPEN
WHERE: Billy's Calibration Room
WHAT: Calibrations
WHEN: 3 June - 10 June
WARNINGS: Potential Warnings for Violence, Depression, Death and Suicide, but also some happy things
The room you step into isn't all that different from Billy's actually room back home, for those that know it. It looks like the room of a typical nerdy teenager, walls adorned with posters of his favourite heroes, and a desk cluttered with unfinished homework. There's shelves with books, and assorted action figures, as well as a few old games- like operation, which don't seem to have gotten much attention lately, covered in a layer of dust.
Billy lays on his bed with an assortment of comics, reading through them, though when he glances up you might note that his eyes are wrong. All black with fields of stars, like you can see the depths of universe in them.
He curls a finger, and a box beneath the bed scoots further back into the darkness.

But he is kept from doing so by the answer coming from the other Billy - And the appearance of the other boy.
What follows yet is surprisingly sweet, considering all the fighting happening before and Jon can't quite help the little smile from making its way onto his face. Love, huh? There is something to be said here about clichés, but Jon doesn't exactly mind it either. It's nice. And maybe he is a bit of a hopeless romantic at heart, but- That's not bad either, right?
Jon can't let himself be carried away by that entirely, however. Not with what happens then. So this is Billy's power. It's equally incredible and intimidating and somehow this Billy seems to at least know what he is supposed to do with it.
And he uses it to safe his friends - Probably not only them.
The Archivist is caught still staring in wonder when the memory addresses him and Jon's focus is suddenly entirely on the boy. This time he does take a sputtering step back. "W-what-?" He quickly looks over to the Billy that is showing him this memory, wordlessly hoping for an explanation for what is happening. "...Billy?"

The memory Billy laughs kindly. "Don't worry about it. You're part of my future. A good part."

Jon isn’t sure he wants to laugh about that, but ultimately only looks a little flustered between the two Billy’s before settling on the memory and offering a nod. “I- I hope to be.” But he doesn’t think he can truly promise anything. There are still too many doubts he has regarding himself.
He still tries to smile a little and looks back to the Billy he knows from Temba. “Thanks... For showing me this.”
