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".

WEEK 6: Tuesday

[rosebleed]

[Late afternoon, long before our precious rat gala commences, there's quick and heavy footfall and laboured breath in the distance.

Stumbling from the direction of the Brain, Rosamund carries an unconscious Sheba on her back, sweating at the temple and making as much a run as she can with dead weight dragging her down.]

[uncoincidental]

[hi but also not because sheba is passed out and i am still stuck in the hell that is capitalism

there are some olive- and plum-colored flower petals stuck on sheba's clothes, like she puked them up. it's fine.]

[bossbabygirl]

[ahhhhhh.]

What happened? Are you guys okay?

[rosebleed]

She fell unconscious!

[WHEEZING her strength stats!!!]

We were — I tried to wake her up but my healing doesn't work like that!

[polliwog]

[ help! she can stop runnin' when she gets to the crowd of them hanging around. ]

What happened—!?

[rosebleed]

[Thank god everyone is constantly in a gaggle all together, we are all such good friends!]

Hi, okay, don't be mad...[Passing the goyle off, her wee arms, help] We were only testing a theory!

[discomfort]

[ watches them run by ]

Huh.

[rosebleed]

[makes eye contact??]

[discomfort]

[ damn now he has to get involved ]

Is she okay?

[rav3n]

[It would serve you both right if he was a huge asshole about this but he is too nice and overprotective so he's just immediately on alert instead]

Rosamund--Sheba? What happened?!

[rosebleed]

She — we thought she could use her powers on it! To read its mind!

[It went really really well!]

[rav3n]

And you didn't tell anyone else you were going in there? [Nevermind he'll be a little bit of an asshole. He's realizing he should've trained y'all how to use the walkie talkies damn] What about you, are you hurt?

[artificialsweetener]

[DIDN'T THEY JUST SAY YESTERDAY TO NOT FUCK AROUND WITH THE BRAIN.]

[uncoincidental]

[look at least they didn't (redacted) it]

[artificialsweetener]

[rosebleed]

[WE HAVE POWERS NOW IT'S DIFFERENT]

[artificialsweetener]

[I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.]

[pathematic]

[WELL HE WON'T MAKE HER STOP BUT ALSO HELLO? WATCHING HER RUN? HOW DOES SHEBA LOOK? he immediately holds his arms out to help take Sheba from her as if he can run any faster than she can,]

-- How did she pass out?

[SHEBA STOP PASSING OUT ON PUBLIC MINGLE]

[rosebleed]

[Sheba is unconscious!!! flower petals horked up but still alive! Rosamund is winded and will gladly pass over our new Sleeping Beauty]

She tried to read it's mind! The Brain! She just — her eyes rolled back and she collapsed, coughing!

[pathematic]

[Eunhyuk will quickly check her pulse while he holds her. his eyebrows go up at the mention of mind reading,]

...I forgot that she could do that.

[IT WAS SO LONG AGO, DAMN. but now it all makes sense,]

Were you both planning to explore? Or were you there just to watch over her while she tried?

[messy]

[HELLO???]

Ah, shit. What happened to the kid?!

[rosebleed]

She passed out! [Harley save us Harley] She was trying to read its mind, coughed up a bunch of flowers, and passed out!

[ravenry]

[ IM STILL CAPITALISM

ROSAMUND THIS ISN'T VERY FAVORABLE FOR YOU

Shouxue is so tired. ]

You must know it is almost as foolish as yesterday.

[rosebleed]

[SOBS I KNOW these are the sacrifices we make for plot........]

We didn't go far in, I swear, we kept a decent distance. I took her out the second it happened.

[PLEASE BELIEVE HER IT TAKES TWO TO HYUCK IT UP]

Do you have anything that can wake her? Any powers of that kind at all??

[freckledarcher]

Ashe sees Rosamund runs by with Sheba on her back and he’s immediately concerned

Rosamund!? What happened?
