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".

w5 execution react

[discomfort]

[ it is exec time babey

there's more plant stuff because of course there is. unsurprisingly owner is watching this. ]

[rosebleed]

[Why is it always plant stuff.

Rosamund, who was in NPC mode yesterday and surely made plenty of useful and heartfelt contributions, arrives at Owner's side with a frown.]

Is it just him?

[No one else is getting forced to do the dead?]

[discomfort]

[ ... and then rodya walks in. ]

Looks like it isn't. Ah, she's not a surprise.

[ of course it would be a limbus. ]

[polliwog]

[ WHY IS IT ALWAYS PLANT STUFF

he'll come hang out with her after she's gotten a worldly lesson in one night stands by our resident lesbians ]

...I hope she'll be all right. [ this one actually seems like a struggle. ]

[ravenry]

[ unsurprisingly, she is also here to watch. (even if i, ara, may have to duck in and out) ]

It would be Rodion.

[discomfort]

She does make the most sense for it.

[ considering their whole relationship. also yuri went already but they don't know how ooc execution mechanics work. ]

[bossbabygirl]

Good.

[that wouldn't be her sentiment if it didn't seem like rodya wanted it, but. she deserves this, to be the one to end it.]

[rosebleed]

At least she's a little prepared for this.

[Their life...their death pact.]

[pyromance]

[ he just sighs, seeing gregor and rodya.

(i will be spotty but icly he is here) ]

[rosebleed]

[Puts a hand on his shoulder (not one of Guy's)]

[agamid]

[ also comes over here to hang with diluc :( ]

[rav3n]

[I'm still in bed but Luke is here, arms loosely crossed. Like everyone else, he's unsurprised to see Rodya; he's displeased, but there's nothing to do now but wait.]

[artificialsweetener]

[He's mostly stuck to Scien like a burr as usual but today he will also walk over to give Luke a lil pat.]

[pathematic]

[the way i've been saying this entire weekend that i'll be away and my plans keep getting pushed back BUT I THINK I AM GOING OUT TODAY? MAYBE??? SHAKES

anyway eunhyuk is icly here and watching with the rest of the gy]

[pyromance]

[ yaywon come visit me ]

[rosebleed]

[Puts a hand on him too. unrusted, but for how long...]

[polliwog]

[ help yaywon your plans

he'll come chill with eunhyuk. brings him a water as rodya fights for her life. ]

...They're forced to be here every week, but we just watch of our own volition.

[ what's that say about them. ]

[uncoincidental]

[Sheba is also here even if I keep dozing off]

...they seem - prepared for this, at least...

[which makes sense given what rosamund said upthread about them having a pact.]

[polliwog]

[ britt nappytimes

watching shrubbery pruning hours. ]

Does that make it easier...?

[satisficing]

[As usual, one of the many nerds is here to watch. He has the Rubik's Cube again, rhythmically turning it to line up the squares by color while looking at the screen.]

[pyromance]

[ glances over intermittently to watch him fiddle away with his cube... ]

[messy]

[watching with both of her hyenas, sighing woefully.]

He didn't get to go on a date...

[priorities.]

[discomfort]

Oh.

He still can here?

[rosebleed]

He didn't?

[OUR GREGOR

IS HE DYING SINGLE?????]

[freckledarcher]

[While Ashe isn't happy to see another execution or to know more people will be joining them he is happy to see Owner again.]

Hi Owner. These things never get easier to watch.

[Let's just say yesterday Ashe tried to get the family pc to work again which made time fly because what is technology?]
