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".

no subject
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]
no subject
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]
no subject
He pauses, puts the drink down.
And then grabs Luke by the chin,]
Stop thinking about other people.
no subject
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.
no subject
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.
no subject
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?
no subject
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.
no subject
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?
no subject
luke can be as barky as he likes as long as he's barky only with HIM (smashcut to scien and dion ot3ing with him later)]
You said not to drop you. I can only do that if I lead.
no subject
That's not how it works at all? [SIR. But you know what... fine... he'll allow this]
no subject
he'll lead Luke into a familiar dance, eyes focused entirely on him. the way eunhyuk normal behavior is actually not that different from him being a yandere right now,]
What are you thinking about right now?
[if it's anything but this moment then he'll become more yandere]
no subject
Also tosses him a catch-22]
Last time. [Since they were just talking about it]
no subject
his eyes crinkle at that, hehe. good answer.]
I liked dancing with you then. But it feels different when you're all dressed up.
no subject
Wish I could've picked my own, though... [HE WOULD HAVE PICKED SOMETHING MORE SOPHISTICATED... THIS IS A GALA, NOT A HEIST. Whatever. He looks Eunhyuk over, thoughtful.] When's the last time you dressed up?
[He's assuming it has been a while, given the emotion zombie apocalypse]
no subject
Eunhyuk tugs him closer as they do a slow spin. He likes it when Luke looks at him!! only him!!!! he wants him to keep looking at him forever and ever!!!!
he does have to think before he answers this though because it's been a while, yeah.]
...Last year, during Christmas. I had to dress up for my sister's ballet recital.
no subject
Also the way he truly just thinks Eunhyuk is in a weird needy mood right now... ruins this dumb thread with soft family emotions]
Did she have a good time?
no subject
I think so. She kept saying she could have danced better, but she was wonderful on stage.
[soft family emotions..
feels a little jealous that luke is asking about his sister. weird.]
no subject
Actually I'll have mercy and let him notice now]
What's that look for?
no subject
It's nothing.
[he's yandere but not insane enough to be admit that he's jealous of his sister who they talked about for 5 seconds]
