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".

[pathematic]

[WELL. THIS IS APPARENTLY HAPPENING. GAY LOVE!!! MARRIAGE? REAL!!!!! Eunhyuk does not think of this in these exact terms, this is just me.

He just watches from the canteen and puts a hand over his mouth, his emotions for once clearly obvious on his face.]

[pyromance]

[ also looking incredibly surprised, but pleased??? ]

...Good for them.

[ MY GODS THESE BITCHES GAY!!! ]

[pathematic]

[MY GOD!!!!!!

Eunhyuk keeps his hand over his mouth because he starts coughing -- like a lot? the flowers that spill from his fingers are all different shades, blue and yellow and orange and pink, but he keeps his focus on the screen.]

...Yes.

[bossbabygirl]

[coughing up the exact flowers that mean "congrats on the sex" in surprise]

[bossbabygirl]

[i looked it up and it would be rose (congratulations) and grass (man's love)]

[rosebleed]

[Gasping, covering her mouth.]

Was...maybe True Love's kiss is a real thing?

[THE FAIRIES WERE RIGHT??????????]

[messy]

[NODDING...]

I fuckin' knew it. Good for them!

[verminous]

-hey, good for them. Guess that explains him saying he was taken, huh...?

[bossbabygirl]

Oh, it's really funny that you guys didn't know, because they've been sending each other really dramatic letters for weeks.

[messy]

[GASPING AND WIPING AN IMAGINARY TEAR FROM HER EYES.]

The power of love and Chipotle was so strong that it brought him back...

[perfectdistance]

[ Nero stares at this and just.

Is so clearly confused. ]

Good for them...?

[egodist]

[LINEFACE BROKEN LINEFACE CONTAINMENT BROKEN

scien just laughs]

Finally.

[he has been an unwilling audience member to lucktor for so long]

Well, an extra hand on that side that knows technology is a good choice.

[pathematic]

[STOP HE'S BACK TO LINEFACE NOW, but he does look -- shaken? and maybe intensely relieved? coughs out a flower,]

...Just in time for the meeting on that side too.

[artificialsweetener]

[HE'S JUST SQUEALING IN DELIGHT AT THIS DEVELOPMENT AND REACHING OUT TO WHACK SCIEN'S SHOULDER.]

Oh, look at them!

[rav3n]

[I like how you said his emotions were obvious but didn't say what they were

Anyway I guess we're all here having breakfast or something--Luke also just stares at the screen.]

...They got it working? [THE REVIVAL TECH? Wait does this mean their first choice for an experiment subject was their SICKLY VICTORIAN TWIG that's so irresponsible damn]

[verminous]

Got what working?

[pathematic]

[LISTEN..... IM JUST USED TO NEVER DESCRIBING HIS EMOTIONS!!!!! anyway he coughs again, a single blue flower falling onto the canteen floor that gets slurped up, yummy.]

Maybe Lucien's role helped somehow.

[polliwog]

[ GAY RIGHTS!!!!!!!! ]

Incredible... they were really able to revive someone!

[ or uh lucien was? ]

[barriermaddened]

How fortunate!

[Congrats to them!]

[uncoincidental]

[she coughs into her hand.

but once the coughing stops -]

This is great news! Right? It's progress...

[discomfort]

[






lol. ]

[verminous]

-oh, right, this reminds me, Lucien asked me to pass a message for him while I was in the brig. Wanted to bypass messages getting messed with.

[he was busy dealing with some shit yesterday. is this a desperate tactic to not talk about virginity? Maybe So. also it's a convenient tl.]

I don't know what most of this means, but he says Adrastea thinks the woman he saw in the water is Courtney Ryser, she had some kind of affair with Callisto's boss and he wants to find out if that jogs anything. He also says we-- but I don't know who 'we' is-- "we think at least parts, if not the entire ship, is the body we've been looking for". Saw the flesh in room 20, the church, and engineering.

[so there you go here's his contribution]

[messy]

Oh, shit, that's right. I was talkin' to Kazuki and Adrastea the night I died and they said room 20 was, like, covered in flesh. And the mission Anise and Mizuki went on led them to a tower that was, uh, made of the stuff apparently. Don't know if that part's related, though.

[piteous]

Woah! He returned!

[ Wow! ]

[ratbrows]

[Love is real...]
