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".

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

It would be Rodion.
discomfort: (jikininki)

[personal profile] discomfort 2024-04-07 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
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. ]
ravenry: (91)

[personal profile] ravenry 2024-04-07 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I think— [ she hopes. ] she will handle this the best of everyone.

[ in giving gregor the respect he deserves. ]
discomfort: (funayūrei)

[personal profile] discomfort 2024-04-07 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Whether she would or not, she now has to.

[ it's not like she has a choice at this point. ]
ravenry: (161)

[personal profile] ravenry 2024-04-07 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
She'll—

[ gregor become roses jesus, but shouxue doesn't know a christianity. ]

Is that supposed to help or hinder Gregor?
discomfort: (jibakurei)

[personal profile] discomfort 2024-04-07 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he makes a slight face. ]

Possibly both, in his case.
ravenry: (162)

[personal profile] ravenry 2024-04-07 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ well, he stops being being the rose bride. she doesn't understand, but this is probably for the better? ]

.... is this still both?
discomfort: (binbōgami)

[personal profile] discomfort 2024-04-07 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
... who knows?

[ he watches gregor apologize and rodya try to attack back. ]

Ah, this must hurt.
ravenry: (67)

[personal profile] ravenry 2024-04-07 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ rodya becomes ice. the corrosion.... ]

It's hard not to see how much it must hurt.

discomfort: (okiku)

[personal profile] discomfort 2024-04-07 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ gregor corrodes again, and owner goes quiet as he watches.

after a moment, ]


It is a shame I did not beat him. It could have been avoided.
ravenry: (123)

[personal profile] ravenry 2024-04-07 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ yuri's scream gets to shouxue, and she looks a little shaken. ]

.... I would not enjoy seeing you up there either.

[ although i personally would like to see how freaky owner can get. ]

bossbabygirl: (i look forward to hearing from you)

[personal profile] bossbabygirl 2024-04-07 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
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.]
ravenry: (21)

[personal profile] ravenry 2024-04-07 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she nods. ]

It looks like it's what she preferred.
bossbabygirl: (going forward i'd prefer)

[personal profile] bossbabygirl 2024-04-07 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Sometimes you just need to see something through yourself.
ravenry: (011)

[personal profile] ravenry 2024-04-07 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... well, it's not going great, but...!!! ]

... it usually ends up with the result that's best for us all.

[personal profile] rosebleed 2024-04-07 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
At least she's a little prepared for this.

[Their life...their death pact.]
ravenry: (75)

[personal profile] ravenry 2024-04-07 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a small mercy, if they were both already prepared for this outcome.

[ if they made that pact, like rosamund said. ]
rosebleed: @polarsirens on tumblr (032)

[personal profile] rosebleed 2024-04-07 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods.]

Saying it and doing it are two separate things. Though, I know their home is a brutal one already. They've done things like this before too.

[Having peeks into Yuri and Rodya's pasts were enough to churn anyone's stomachs]
ravenry: (61)

[personal profile] ravenry 2024-04-07 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
They are. It may not make it easier, but it helps that they have.

[ and helping isn't always easy. ]

Rodion will have to remember that he's still afflicted.
rosebleed: @electriccarousels on tumblr (025)

[personal profile] rosebleed 2024-04-07 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a bitter sigh at that.]

Yeah, taking pity isn't helpful at this point.

[why did no one fuckin cuff her in the med bay?? USELESS. anyway then gregor is suddenly hung up on a cross and choked by evil roses

Rosamund flinches, but Rodya's not hesitating.]


Nevermind, looks like she won't after all.
ravenry: (171)

[personal profile] ravenry 2024-04-07 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It looks like she recognized what happened to him. Maybe it will be quick.

[ she doesn't think it'll be that quick. ]
rosebleed: @polarsirens on tumblr (039)

[personal profile] rosebleed 2024-04-07 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Fully flinching when the axe connects and there's that unholy scream.]

He's probably too strong to allow that.
ravenry: (76)

[personal profile] ravenry 2024-04-07 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ rodya does fall because she's only one sinner... and not six, says the meta text. ]

He... broke free of whatever that was.
rosebleed: @magicratfingers on tumblr (035)

[personal profile] rosebleed 2024-04-07 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
They call them Abnormalities. Some kind of transformation in a person, or concentration of energy that makes a monster, I think? [Running through her memshare lore and coming up pretty spotty] They're very dangerous. And very common in their world.
ravenry: (27)

[personal profile] ravenry 2024-04-07 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Rodion said something about... if their emotions go out of control.

[ it's so common among all of them. it's easy to mistake this ship's affliction with things that happen at home until death brings clarity. ]

It looks like it can come and go for them.

[ just from what's going on in the execution and nothing she's been told before. ]
