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".

[DON'T JUST DETHUMB HIS THUMBS UP. He holds his hand out for Viktor's.]

[satisficing]

[.....Stupidly just gives his hand over so fast.]

[artificialsweetener]

[Takes his paw very gently and pats it twice thank you for trusting him with your hand so easily.

Then makes Viktor do a thumbs up.]

[satisficing]

[



Stands there giving a thumbs up.]

[artificialsweetener]

[DOES A THUMBS UP TOO.]

Matching!

[polliwog]

[ shoots him a thumbs up for fun too ]

[artificialsweetener]

[ANOTHER THUMBS UP FOR SIDON!!!!! The cult grows.]

[polliwog]

[ definitely wasn't even paying attention to what this was about but he respects dahut's energy ]

[satisficing]

[DON'T JUST IN!!!!]

[polliwog]

[ shoots him another thumbs up!! encouraging!!!! ]

[ravenry]

[ she shakes her head. ]

[polliwog]

[ she could try it too...... ]

[ravenry]

[ she is not thumbsing up being eaten by the lotus flesh wall. ]

[satisficing]

[why is he like this always

He gives Sidon a second thumbs up thinking it'll make Sidon be finished, but now he's just standing there with two thumbs up because he forgot the first one (until Shouxue dethumbed him).]

[artificialsweetener]

[When Shouxue isn't looking he rethumbs Viktor's dethumbed thumb.]

[satisficing]

[SHE IS GOING TO TURN BACK AROUND AND SEE HIM WITH THE THUMBS UP AND THINK HE DID IT AND TAKE HIM OUT AT THE KNEES.]

[rav3n]

[This is just you harassing Anna]

[polliwog]

[ maybe he wouldn't always be like this if viktor wasn't always successfully bullied

watches him get thumbed and dethumbed repeatedly and also does whatever the hell dahut is doing with bumping thumbs together because this must be a human thing that people do ]

[satisficing]

[Getting bullied by a second person toasting their thumbs together even though he doesn't know why this is happening to him.

I FORGOT ABOUT THE RUST THEY SHOULDN'T TOAST EITHER OF HIS THUMBSSSS. It's fine.]

[ravenry]

.... Viktor.

[ she sounds so disappointed in him. ]

[satisficing]

[Offers a sheepish, stuttery smile. One that dies so fucking quickly in the face of her disappointment.]

It... really was for science. I wanted to see if it posed some kind of danger.

[ravenry]

I understand that much.

[ she reaches over and dethumbs him (pushes his thumb down). ]

You give in too easily.

[satisficing]

[HEADS UP SEVEN UP!

Forgot he was standing there stupidly with the thumbs up, so he's a lil surprised when she dethumbs him (removes it completely)(no).]

Progress always has risks. We knew I would've been back in four hours by that time.

[ravenry]

[ she was telling him he shouldn't let dahut thumbs up him more than trying to debate with him about experiment methods and experiments, but since they are here, she may as well. ]

What you've done is past. [ it's not like she can turn back time. ]

It is difficult to see people bloom in that way again and again. We do not need to have the same argument we had weeks ago. I understand. [ she does, but also: ] Even if none of us may be able to stop you, none of you may stop us from worrying.

[satisficing]

[Looks at her in the face of these very wise, soft words, thinking they are wasted on a man like him!!

Also, yeah, he easily falls for Dahut's silly pranks (clearly).]

I haven't tried anything like that since...? I haven't even tried experimenting on the heart yet...
