GRAVEYARD...3!


GR͏∀VE̴Y͞A̵ЯD     18 DECOMMISSIONED

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".

Oh, this is nice. Much classier than our last town hall.

[ we really left margaret with men and children

anyway, he will clink their drinks ]


This is a town hall?
bossbabygirl: (vertical integration)

[personal profile] bossbabygirl 2024-04-10 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, but I left all of the new ship logs you have to read in my other purse.

[doesn't bite him but clinks. actually i do feel like she could have bitten him because she is a himbo appreciator even if gay but being murdered by him did put a damper on that.]
agamid: (dion089)

[personal profile] agamid 2024-04-10 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
I see, I suppose we will have to make the most of the evening without them.

[ he drinks and it's bad luck so he just

immediately drops the rest of the drink on her ]
bossbabygirl: (this is a learning opportunity)

[personal profile] bossbabygirl 2024-04-10 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
bossbabygirl: (i was under the impression)

[personal profile] bossbabygirl 2024-04-10 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[no she glares at him for a second like she's going to kill him but then she will simply leave and put a second little black dress and return shortly.]

I'm so glad I chose a backup.
agamid: (dion084)

[personal profile] agamid 2024-04-10 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
You look even lovelier.

[ he takes a step backwards away from her and falls on his ass ]
bossbabygirl: (horizontal integration)

[personal profile] bossbabygirl 2024-04-10 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
How drunk are you...?

[reaching to help him up? please don't immediately pour a drink on her backup dress.]
agamid: (ALblavender1)

[personal profile] agamid 2024-04-10 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
I am usually rather skilled in holding my liquor...

[ he won't, but he will accidentally pull her down on top of him ]
bossbabygirl: (vertical integration)

[personal profile] bossbabygirl 2024-04-10 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
[kyaaa~]

Please don't ruin my backup dress.

[personal profile] polliwog 2024-04-10 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Margaret! You look wonderful!

[ he'll give her a platonic kiss on the cheek as a greeting ]

What are you drinking?
bossbabygirl: (thanks in advance)

[personal profile] bossbabygirl 2024-04-10 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[awwww. doesn't bite him, but will smooch back.]

Something called a Vampire Bite. It's pretty good, you should try some.
polliwog: (47)

[personal profile] polliwog 2024-04-10 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ this is such a dangerous one for him but okay, he'll pick up one of the same off a cocktail tray ]

I'll trust your taste, Margaret—what shall we toast to?
bossbabygirl: (per my last email)

[personal profile] bossbabygirl 2024-04-10 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
[shark bite everyone here.]

Let's toast to not having been assimilated into rat society just yet.
polliwog: (66)

[personal profile] polliwog 2024-04-10 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ clink! ]

We will though, if Viktor fails us.
bossbabygirl: (i was under the impression)

[personal profile] bossbabygirl 2024-04-10 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
If Viktor fails us.

[clink!]
artificialsweetener: (i needed to think a spell)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-10 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
I bet the others would be jealous if they knew where we had ours!

[WOULD THEY!!!!! Anyway rng a drinky Dahut's just here to compliment her outfit for now because he thinks everyone looks so suave and stunning.]

You look like you were born royal, mademoiselle!
bossbabygirl: (i was under the impression)

[personal profile] bossbabygirl 2024-04-10 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[awww. pats him on his little fancy head.]

Not even in the slightest.
artificialsweetener: (there was a girl)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-10 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Well, all for the better, anyway, since it doesn't ever seem to be what it's cracked up to be.

[Their royals are all out here suffering.]
bossbabygirl: (as discussed)

[personal profile] bossbabygirl 2024-04-10 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
I think the secret is that growing up royal is like growing up rich - it'd be fine if anyone gave you the tools to know how to enjoy it, but by definition you don't have them.
artificialsweetener: (were impossible to get)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-10 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
I see... [Nodding slowly... Does he see? Questions to ponder.] Wealth is complex.
