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".

[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: (✧ there's nothing real)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-04-04 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[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: (it's a science)

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.]

[THE WAY HE WENT FROM BULLYING TO LOOKING NERVOUS WHEN A SHOPPING CART BLUDGEONING ATTACK CAN'T BREAK THIS ORB OPEN. He'll pick himself up off the ground and start examining the outside to see if there's any weak point or sign that says break glass in the event of an emergency.]

Just drop him from a high place, that'll do.

[And also it'll murder him. Come on, woman, chill down -- but yeah, she irrationally blames Scien for something that happened and as usual with her, the way she chooses to handle it is by not being very great]
artificialsweetener: (i've got only my bones)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-04 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[SORA JUST OUT HERE HELP. Dahut, now that he's done bullying and being flattened, just looks worried.]

We're not killing anyone if we can help it.
egodist: (✧ you want to drag others down)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-04-04 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)

Witnesses the orb.

Tiredly strings an arrow and shoots it.]
