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".

[I have been ordered into being a WHORE so I guess these rats are in an objectifying mood this evening and wrangle him into this. Enjoy the promo vid if you so desire we love a casino theme. He has a perfectly reasonable formal suit option? Why this. At least his hair is combed nicely for once. (He does not have a money gun here.)

He is not drinking for now!! But he is hanging out, even though it's probably super irresponsible to be ignoring town hall after he told Shoma that the living should do a town hall. Actually I'll be honest he'll probably need help staying because he keeps glancing towards the door like a worrywart.]

bossbabygirl: (give me the high level)

[personal profile] bossbabygirl 2024-04-10 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
[i was truly expecting something so slutty and was disappointed.]

...Hey, Luke. You should loosen up. We'll keep an eye on their town hall.
rav3n: (luke108)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-10 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[LISTEN, COMPARATIVELY!!! But no you're right it could be way worse]

Maybe we should take shifts at the canteen... [This is why Dahut gave him moonshine last week]
bossbabygirl: (per my last email)

[personal profile] bossbabygirl 2024-04-10 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe we should. Drink something and have fun.
rav3n: (luke39)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-10 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not really good with alcohol without my pills... [Eventually he'll give in and try one, but for now he just looks curiously at hers.] What've you got?
bossbabygirl: (friendly reminder)

[personal profile] bossbabygirl 2024-04-10 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Just take some small sips, then.

[she definitely doesn't want him to fucking die, but then again, if he did he'd revive in four hours. handing him a Dirt.]

...It has a complex flavor.
rav3n: (luke14)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-10 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Honestly he's more concerned about getting sloppy wasted in front of this group. He would prefer to die tbh.]

Alright, alright. Just a little. [He'll take it!! Thank god this one is normal(????)]
bossbabygirl: (i was under the impression)

[personal profile] bossbabygirl 2024-04-10 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
[it makes you want gossip! hopefully that's normal for him.]

After how hard we've been working, I think we deserve a break, don't you?
rav3n: (luke47)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-10 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[You know... It kinda is...]

I guess it can't hurt that much... I'll probably head back early, though. I've got some stuff I was hoping to try soon. [But that's a mini-event problem!! For now he will just sip this, and ponder the flavor with all his bartender expertise...

And then lower his voice to have a very serious discussion.]

I thought Gregor and Rodya were dating?

Can't you hear my heart beat, Luke?

[ bottom behaviour? ]
rav3n: (luke43)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-10 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
[



Blinks]


No?
agamid: (dion005)

[personal profile] agamid 2024-04-10 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ hands him a drink ]

Forgive me my weakness.
rav3n: (luke95)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-10 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
[He will accept this (throws dart) Vampire's Kiss, which may be one of his only drinks tonight so thank you spoon]

Is this a rule? [Are they playing King's Cup again. He didn't see the deck but you never know with these rats.]
agamid: (dion029)

[personal profile] agamid 2024-04-10 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ everything i do, i do it for you

anyway, he's going to sip his second drink and it's clown music time ]


What do you mean?
rav3n: (luke75)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-10 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[HELP

Okay that amuses him enough that he'll relax to sip his drink]


Nevermind, I think you might be getting cursed instead. [Except he is then compelled to lean over and bite Dion's cheek, so maybe not.]
agamid: (takesev2)

[personal profile] agamid 2024-04-10 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ well, luke is going to hear this when he bites dion. ]

... Pardon?
rav3n: (luke64)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-10 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
[I think it's funny if he continues to be wildly out-topped so for some reason he will be the only person not magically thinking this is normal]

Ah--sorry.

pathematic: (HE IS SUCH A NERD)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-04-10 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
[flower rat will put a money gun in his pocket if luke wants,

Eunhyuk notices the way Luke keeps looking at the door like it's midnight and he's Cinderella waiting for a pumpkin. he has a drink in his hand but he hasn't taken a sip yet,]


...I can go to the canteen and check on them.

[HE CAN TELL THAT LUKE IS WORRIED]
rav3n: (luke21)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-10 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[HE DOESN'T NEED A MONEY GUN

But he nods absently, accepting this even if it doesn't seem to make him any less distracted.]


I should've built a DVR for the TV... [oh my god shut up and drink loser]
pathematic: (warriors did this to him)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-04-10 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
[A DVR.... (me voice) he's so stupid. Eunhyuk thinks it's a smart idea though, even as he takes a sippy from this cool drink he's trying.

He pauses, puts the drink down.

And then grabs Luke by the chin,]


Stop thinking about other people.
rav3n: (luke17)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-10 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Imagine if I said he just coughed up some flowers directly into his face

No he doesn't do that. He swats Eunhyuk's hand away with a grumpy tsk, but then he will hold it, so it balances out.]


I'm starting to think you get paid to say these things.
pathematic: (it's normal here)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-04-10 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[unfortunately the yandere he is now would enjoy that a lot,

but he is satisfied with the hand holding, maybe? holds luke's hand that doesn't have a money gun.]


I mean it. I wouldn't say this to anyone else.
rav3n: (luke52)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-10 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
[The way I really thought you were just saying this for real and it only occurred to me right before replying that this is a drink effect

BUT HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT HE JUST THINKS EUNHYUK'S JOKING]


Good, because you'd probably get arrested. [Can he be nice for like five seconds. He nudges him, and nods towards the dance floor.] Think you can manage not to drop me this time?
pathematic: (eunhyuk and his gray shirt)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-04-10 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
[it's fine he'll realize soon enough (ominous)

Eunhyuk will tighten his grip on Luke's wrist, woah, and then pull him out towards the floor. puts luke's hand on his shoulder and then takes his other hand in his, he's leading now.]


Only if you keep your eyes on me.
rav3n: (luke103)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-10 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[WILL HE? AFTER (REDACTED)?

I guess he will let himself be pulled, although predictably he wrinkles his nose as Eunhyuk bossily positions his hands?? EXCUSE. How is he supposed to be blushy and shy when you keep making him want to be a barky dog]


Who said you could lead?
