GRAVEYARD...3!
GR͏∀VE̴Y͞A̵ЯD 18 DECOMMISSIONED
t̀h̡e u͝nḑerbe̸l͞l̵y ̸o͜f th̴è ̡şh̷i͠p.
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".

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]
no subject
[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]
no subject
Here, Tristia.
[IS SHE REALLY UNHARMED?? NO BLOOD OR ANYTHING???]
no subject
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]
no subject
Eunhyuk will keep handing her dry towels and take the drenched ones from her so she doesn't have to carry wet towels,]
I'm sorry. [THAT SCIEN AND NERO APPARENTLY WENT LATER] You did pretty well for your first time...
no subject
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]
no subject
no subject
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.]
no subject
[ What are you asking??? ]
no subject
Are you alright, Nero?
no subject
Yeah. We went to the worst school.
[ *Disclaimer: Nero has nothing to compare against. ]
no subject
Were you with anyone else?
[as the cyoa shoots out the living side]
no subject
[ In the tone of somebody who doesn't believe it was really Bradley. ]
no subject
We can see if it was really him later.
[(narrator voice) it was not bradley]
no subject
[ Can you imagine it? Nero can't. ]

[nice to have seen you in the cyoa eunhyuk]
no subject
I didn't bother you all, did I...
no subject
[Guaranteed it'd have led to trouble]

[Sora says that with the gravity you'd tell someone they have three hours left of life]
no subject
It was terrible.
no subject
[HELP ME.]
no subject
What happened to the other group?
no subject
[HELP not the orb wizard]
I'm not sure. They were... very injured. It's better here to die and revive in four hours than to suffer.
no subject
[ Looking a little worried. ]
Who came back?
no subject
Sidon and Margaret. They're gone, but they'll be back in a while.
