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".

It's like when you have a friend who gets invited to hang out with his new boyfriend's friends and he forgets all about you. The worst.

[ owner nods his head as if he knows what that is like, but he definitely does not, so he is lying about his experiences. ]

Exactly... ah, the insensitivity of people!
bossbabygirl: (kind regards)

[personal profile] bossbabygirl 2024-04-10 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
If we send too many texts, I'm worried we'll look needy.

... you raise a good point. It may make them smug.
bossbabygirl: (as discussed)

[personal profile] bossbabygirl 2024-04-10 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
We need to make them jealous of what a great time we're having without him. We should stop posting about Viktor and instead post things that make us seem hot and interesting. We're living our own lives. We're into rock climbing now. We got so muscular.
discomfort: (nurarihyon)

[personal profile] discomfort 2024-04-10 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
We are liberating the rats from their oppressive chains.
bossbabygirl: (triangulating)

[personal profile] bossbabygirl 2024-04-10 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, do you think Viktor would find that exciting and interesting? No, he's having sex for the first time, of course he won't.

[they're doomed to be the uncool kids.]
discomfort: (yamawaro)

[personal profile] discomfort 2024-04-10 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ in the most deadpan, uninterested tone, ]

We are having so much more sex here.
bossbabygirl: (! high importance)

[personal profile] bossbabygirl 2024-04-10 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
...Are we? Who's we?

[she's not even drinking the gossip drink anymore.]
discomfort: (hakuja no myojin)

[personal profile] discomfort 2024-04-10 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ uhhh. he just points randomly behind him and it's

scien ]
bossbabygirl: (give me the high level)

[personal profile] bossbabygirl 2024-04-10 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
[wow.... damn.

unfortunately she's in love with scien right now so she just nods.]


I see. Well, congratulations to the happy couple! Or throuple, or whatever multiples of people may be involved. I just remembered, I have to take notes on the town hall.

[turning around and running out the door.]

[PLEASE STOP BEING HET]
bossbabygirl: (no bad ideas)

[personal profile] bossbabygirl 2024-04-10 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
[her love for him is for him as a person and has nothing to do with gender and this will be true until whenever she has a drink of water and sobers up.]
