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".

[I AM UP NOW and Luke is here, he has been since the start. No tools today, for once; he's got his IRIS pulled up, and he's combing over all his notes thoughtfully. He's in a plain T-shirt again today, though he has a flannel overshirt draped over his shoulders, with the sleeves loosely tied. It could almost be called not terrible fashion, if he wasn't getting greasy rust on everything, as usual.

He keeps half his attention on the screen even as they discuss plot elsewhere in this top level.]


My message went through on HER-MES last night, but... I didn't think we'd run into this problem. [Did you know there's no tie emoji it's just a necktie on a shirt. Hateful. He is also a little annoyed at himself for not considering that the second killer could've also been killed, but there's nothing to be done for it now.]
pathematic: (neat! except when he's not)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-04-06 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[woah... luke sent a message on the her-mes.........???? At the mention, Eunhyuk will look at the IRIS, and then at him. YOU DIDN'T EVEN FCKING SIGN IT. LUKE. he didn't sign his either, well that's alright because he also sends messages.]

...It might be for the best. They haven't been open to voting for two since the beginning.
rav3n: (luke108)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-06 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[STOP HE'S SENT MESSAGES ON THERE BEFORE "they were all business and he didn't sign those either" listen

He taps his foot restlessly, watching as Shoma asks if anyone has useful items and gets no response. Watch someone reply just as I say this]


No, but they might get frantic if they think they're missing something. [Which makes them DUMB AND RECKLESS.] If they don't figure it out by the end, we should try to get something through to let them know they don't need to worry.
pathematic: (eunhyuk and his gray shirt)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-04-06 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[REFRESHES AND SEES TEMENOS PULL A STUFFED PIGEON OUT HIS SHIRT it would have been funnier if no one had any items tch,]

Alright. I think some of them have at least mentioned the possibility, so they might be able to reach it in time.

[though who knows what they'll remember from the first few hours of theorizing,]
rav3n: (luke39)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-06 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[THAT WOULD'VE BEEN SO FUNNY

He sighs, picking some food off his special Dahut breakfast plate.]


If they start knocking each other out again then we should mass curse them. [PUNISHMENT FOR THEIR TOMFOOLERY]
pathematic: (does he only wear flannel)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-04-06 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[wow luke eat your food dahut made that SPECIALLY for YOU,

Eunhyuk watches as the canteen tv zooms in on everyone's fcking journals. no one trusts in the IRIS to take notes huh,]


I don't think they'll realize that it's punishment.

[THEY CURSE EACH OTHER ALL THE FCKING TIME]

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-06 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Stop I'm so tired I didn't realize that's how it sounded HE IS EATING IT. Ichiban is telling his patriarch's tragic pinky loss backstory and Luke is just here munching on a croissant and editing his own notes.

But also ughhhHHHHHH]


Yeah... they just think it's funny. [It is funny except for when it makes everyone think he's into BDSM and poly]
pathematic: (it's normal here)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-04-07 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
[no the bdsm and poly were also pretty funny

also TRIES TO TUNE BACK INTO TRIAL I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO OUT TONIGHT BUT IG IM STAYING IN?]


...Looks like they'll use the item for Owner's case.

[THAT'S GOOD]

Hopefully they'll keep it in mind...

[Truly amazing that every week at least one possessed person dies though. Also he hands Luke a breakfast plate again.]

[Watches Charles say "if Owner had time to be doing laundry, why didn't he prioritize first finding his finger"

...

Takes his plate with a nod of thanks]


At least they seem pretty focused. [I THINK....]
artificialsweetener: (in their deep doze)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-06 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[HELP HELP. Ah the beautiful melody of trial...]

So far so good, but it's usually the last half hour or so that they fall to bits in.

I must admit I'm still surprised generally speaking we manage to get somewhere every time.

['We' as in including when Sora was alive. Getting completely lost hasn't happened yet, apparently. Somewhat lost a couple times, yeah, but there's some sort of breakthrough even if it happens ten minutes before trial end]
artificialsweetener: (let's have a party)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-06 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
It would be a little sad if you couldn't even given your poor organization, considering it's twenty to thirty plus of you and one, once two, of them...

[THE ARROGANCE OF GENIUS.]

It's not in the piecing things together that they seem to struggle, at least.

[personal profile] uncoincidental 2024-04-06 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[pretend she was here the whole time even though i am still not in front of a computer yet]

...the stakes do feel higher when time is about to run out, so that would make people panic, yes...
artificialsweetener: (they'll never die)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-06 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[LIFTS YOU AND SHEBA UP.]

Let's hope they can hold themselves together through it this time...
uncoincidental: (036)

[personal profile] uncoincidental 2024-04-06 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
...I'm not going to get my hopes up because I don't want to be disappointed again. But it would be nice to be proven wrong.
artificialsweetener: (she held her hands)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-06 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Honestly, I think you have the right idea!

[PREPARE FOR THE WORST HOPE FOR THE BEST... or something.]
