Crushing pressure is the initial sensation you can recall upon awakening. The stench of fetid, hot steam fills your nose, motes of dust and dirt floating upwards to cling to your skin. Down you are pulled to the cold ground, and all at once you realize you have forgotten to breathe. As you gasp back to life, you are flung onto a pile of scraps and trash, as the enormous machine that spat you out grumbles a little, and then goes silent. You are whole somehow, alive... but at what cost?

Popping out of the grinder, you look yourself over and find that any injuries you may have incurred during your death will be healed. While the scars that remain from the process will serve as a stark reminder, you will be able to get up on your own two feet without issue.

Thin, tapering metal (?) claws unhook from overhead and lower themselves, proceeding to guide you around. Your clothing starts sticking uncomfortably to your skin in the humidity of this strange, new place. Overhead you can hear the tinny humming of flickering lights overhead, arranged in a singular, thin strip and snaking around the serpentine halls. Along exposed pipes, wires, and the walls, a rust-colored substance creeps in web-like patterns, climbing towards the ceiling lights.

The deep grinding and groaning of the ship begin to meld into one low, deep moan from all around. It dips and rises in pitch, and becomes sickening to listen to if you focus on it for too long. Maybe, it's the ship's way of saying Welcome, to the underbelly of the CSS Eudora, home of the decommissioned.

Some things to keep in mind, while amongst the dead:

💀 Mini-events will be posted on WEDNESDAY at 3 PM EST / 12 PM PST, and are due at the same time they are for the living. Any changes to the schedule will be announced in the graveyard channels.

💀 Weekly effects will still hit you here, in the belly of the ship. Mods will make sure to announce any special changes based on being the graveyard; otherwise, please assume everything is 1:1!

💀 While not perfect, there is a healing factor in place. It is extremely sluggish, uncomfortable, and does not negate the fact that you're injured and likely in pain. If the injury is too severe, you might wind up dying from it if left untreated. Again. If you have a pre-existing condition like an illness that has been exacerbated by factors beyond your control, you will find that for the time being these symptoms are at their most minor.

💀 That said, while double death is possible, you'll find yourself reviving after 4 hours fully healed, but feeling like complete garbage for the rest of the day. Message your mods if you find yourself getting killed while dead, though! There might be a special surprise involved.

💀 Your possessions, minus clothing besides what you're wearing now, can be found in the bunk pods and their storage. Yes, while it might not include clothes, it does include any Omegamart Promotional Items, Scrap purchases, home items, etc that you were in possession of. if you had a lot of things, the cubby might jam or have difficulty closing. Better organize. If you arrive on Saturday during trial, belongings will return at the end of trial.

💀 Communications, while you cannot text via I.R.I.S., you can still send messages through HER-MES. All other functions for I.R.I.S. are available along with direct data transfers. Dead can send private letters to the living! An inbox can be accessed from the family computer at the canteen. If you find it locked, it is because we are updating it.

💀 Living livestream is broadcasted on the TV screen in the canteen!
✔️ Upgraded Quality ✔️ Audio ✔️ Translit Captions that sometimes fuck up ✔️ Dramatic panning ✔️ Color

💀 Planet locations are free to use! Upon the Eudora landing planetside, you will find that as you meander through the various parts of the Belly you may run into one of locations of the current planet instead of where you were meaning to go. These locations are indeed still populated, but the people are more like wisps and will not react much to any conversation. Though you can interact with stuff there you cannot take anything with you out of the location "rooms".

2/??? 🌽🌽🌽

[perfectdistance]

[ That crash is accompanied by a pained groan.

Guess who once again looks like a drowned rat? Nero's landed flat on his back, looking soaked through. A puddle of saltwater accompanying him on the floor.

He's also dressed in a little sailor suit with shorts. Would anybody wear this willingly?

For several minutes he doesn't move... But he does eventually start coughing up some water and getting up. ]

3/????

[barriermaddened]

[There's a second figure here too, on her knees, looking
bemused. She recovered faster, but isn't too happy either way]

We could just leave him there.

[Oh, it's Sora. She's soaking wet, wearing an white and very dark blue uniform, her hair undone and the skirt reaching to her knees.

She's picking corn kernels from her hair, because the landing sure made a few stick to her]

We got back safely. He should have thought twice before letting this happen to him.

4/4 🌽🌽🌽

[egodist]

[the third... object? that falls from the void is a wholeass fucking orb. huge.

for a while, it's probably hard to get an idea of what's inside given that it seems to be filled with... water? oh, it's absolutely filled to the brim with water. inside, there is of course a stupid fucking hamster goldfish.

he looks a bit... sick? annoyed, as always. wearing the same stupid uniform as the others, but definitely, mostly, uniquely trapped.]

[satisficing]

[HELP. Through the powers of RP magic after the FIRST ONE :crimes: he is here at the SECOND one, HE GUESSES.]

Another...?! What in the hell! [Yelling as if the others can hear his ass:] There's another set at store!

Do any of you need to die?!

[DON'T JUST SAY THIS AS YOU RUN UP]

[barriermaddened]

We're all unharmed.

[Miraculous! Physically, there's no huge injuries!]

Just get something to dry with. I had enough water for a good while.

[Not even bothering with politeness. She's no fan of this]

[pathematic]

[Eunhyuk will come by with a bunch of towels since apparently Scien is going to bowl Viktor to death? He immediately hands some over to her,]

Here, Tristia.

[IS SHE REALLY UNHARMED?? NO BLOOD OR ANYTHING???]

[barriermaddened]

[Tristia's dice rolls were amazing when it counted, you wouldn't believe]

Thanks. [She begins drying up for like two seconds before she blurts this, all moody:]

I had to swim four laps in a bottomless pool with churning waters because Scien hurried to duck into a different place and Nero had--alright, I'm not blaming Nero for refusing to. But Scien, what's his excuse.

[She adds with an exasperated gesture at the orb:]

I don't know how to swim!

[Okay, she's unharmed physically but it seems she's acting off, probably a consequence of something from wherever she was at. Oh well, it'll pass, probably, just give her a few hours]

[egodist]

[well

scien is annoyed enough he's just going to kick the orb in the direction of viktor to fucking bowl him over

he will regret this shortly]

[satisficing]

[He goes WAH as this orb starts rolling toward him. No, no!! HE'LL TRIP.]

[egodist]

[the orb probably rolls right over viktor

the problem here is that scien forgot that he gets motion sick so he's also suffering in this terrible sloshy prison

he coughs, losing some air and starting to choke on water.]

[perfectdistance]

... Need to?

[ What are you asking??? ]

[pathematic]

[hands Nero a couple of towels too, THEIR WIZARD]

Are you alright, Nero?

[perfectdistance]

[ Starting to towel off. ]

Yeah. We went to the worst school.

[ *Disclaimer: Nero has nothing to compare against. ]

[satisficing]

I can't believe none of you are really injured... The other group was--

[HELP ME.]

[perfectdistance]

I think we just got really lucky against the orb wizard.

What happened to the other group?

[artificialsweetener]

[VIKTOR IS SO FUNNY can't believe he doesn't have a second shirt to rip off for this group. He'll dash in after!!]

—Oh! You're in surprisingly decent shape...

[In that they aren't all immediately spewing out blood or being unconscious in general or collapsing like swooning maidens immediately into the cold embrace of death.

He walks over to the hugeass orb that his hamster fish is trapped inside and pats the orb.]

Are you going to drown?

[egodist]

[scien looks thoughtful for a moment and then he flashes all 5 fingers 3 times

he'll give himself about 15 minutes before he drowns]

[artificialsweetener]

Wow, not bad! Do you want me to leave you in there or try to get you out now?

[BEGGING THESE FUCKS TO BE NORMAL.]

[egodist]

[yeah he's

also going to fucking kick at the orb to try to bowl dahut over too

again he will soon regret this]

[pyromance]

[ frowning, looking between dahut and the orb, ]

Is he going to drown?

[artificialsweetener]

Not for another fifteen min— Wah!!

[HE'S BEING BOWLED OVER.]

[pyromance]

[ he sighs, and looks around for something he can possibly bludgeon the orb with. maybe a shopping cart? he is going to try to smash the orb open with a shopping cart. ]

[rav3n]

[Walks in here after repressing the trauma of cradling his roomie's corpse as she's carried off to her Long Nap via cherubic Dahut

:man_standing:]

[egodist]

[ :man_drowning: ]

[rav3n]

[WHY ISN'T ANYONE KISSING SCIEN BACK TO CONSCIOUSNESS SMASHES MY FUCKING MUG

Luke won't get in the way of everyone's wild attempts to break this glass ball open, but once it shatters, he'll start clearing the pieces away to make sure these idiots don't hurt themselves. HE WILL ALSO HOVER and make sure that everyone is truly okay, including this dumb half-drowned hamster. HATE IT HERE.]
