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".

[THEY HAVE BEEN FREED FROM APPLEBEE'S....... Luke is ehre. He is probably horribly hungover and exhausted. Did he sleep? Unclear. He's still so rust-covered. Gross.

But duty calls, and this one seems, like, important and possibly dangerous, so of course he is here. He peers at a rift... which one is it... WHO'S TO SAY.]


We'd better take care of these.
egodist: (✧ i'll even indulge in your selfishness)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-04-03 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[on the one hand scien is hungover, on the other he probably got more sleep in the last night than he did for most of his existence in the helly belly. so he's actually kind of doing okay?

in the desire and regrets rift, they will encounter this extremely good boy. he's waving over at them with a warm, friendly smile that makes you want to fall in love. boyish charm personified. tell me if you want this to be serious or goofy to decide the next course of action. oh yves i would do anything for you

at the beach rift, scien will actually look around kind of.... curious?]


Ah... this isn't bad.
pathematic: (! an emotion!!)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-04-03 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[YVESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eunhyuk looks on at the pale-haired boy, recognizing that boyish charm personified. He looks from him to Scien and then back again, wondering.

anyway i will choose goofy]

A) Monster rift

[At some point you come across a battle already won! Rosamund stands over a grisly scene, pulling an arrow from the forehead of a (content warning) Helly Belly flesh rendition of a truly enormous and terrible spider/girl hybrid. There are also innumerable dead baby spiders all around, some shot but mostly stomped or bludgeoned.

She waves, sweating and heaving and definitely not crying as she pulls the killing arrow loose with a sickening squelch.]


Hiiiii! So, I took care of most of these, but there is definitely at least one running loose!

[please help]


B) Beach

[Beach!!! Here's her fit check. She's beyond delighted.]

This looks absolutely stunning! What should we do first?
artificialsweetener: (and told you to wonder)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-03 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Skips up behind Luke and tries to shove him in for the laffs.]
artificialsweetener: (and ill tell you what you get)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-03 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
junk void;
[DAHUT KEEPS STUMBLING INTO THE VOIDS THAT NEED TO BE CLEANED. He breaks his way out of one and another opens up right as he's stumbling dazedly into the light, covered in dirt, grease, dust and dual wielding a mop and broom. He disappears into it with a little shriek. Please save him.]

ragrats & desires void;
[This void opens up into a field of swaying flowers! It appears to be a cliffside area, with the ocean visible from over the edge, twinkling prettily under the colors of the late noon sun.

i steal from dana, you can choose goofy or serious!]
artificialsweetener: (or play pharoah)

a!

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-03 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[me: i should tag b because dahut will be totally useless in a
me: but that's funny so

ANYWAY DAHUT IS HERE. JUST SURVEYING THIS CARNAGE SWEATILY. This is just that kimetsu no yaiba spider family, terrible. When Rosamund waves, he waves back with the confused air of someone who doesn't know how they got here (real, considering he was voidspat out to this.)]


Oh—! Um...!! I'll do my very best?!

[HE IS ARMED WITH A MOP.]
egodist: (✧ but is all you're counting on)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-04-03 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[the sweet, sweet angel just smiles brightly and waves his hand more invitingly: "Scien! You made a friend?! Great timing, I made too much food!"

scien immediately takes a step back like he's trying to escape]


Don't go if you want to live.
artificialsweetener: (with white plaster windows)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-03 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[BODYSLAMS INTO DESIRE AND REGRETS BECAUSE I TOO LOVE SEEING YVES AAAAA give me what ur heart feels. He raises a hand and waves back at Yves even though this is just a void illusion.]

I wonder what we'll have to do to get out of this one?

[HE IS ALSO SO DIRTY AND HAS A MOP IN HIS HAND he's been through so much with these fckin voids.]

a. violence void
[ either dealing with the monsters or one of the eerie pink haze voids, he is... slightly hungover from applebee's. he's armed with a broom with its head off its shaft, left with a pointy stick. he may be stabbing one of these lil bastards with it. ]

The rift yesterday was better. Maybe I should bite Vash again.

b. desires and regrets
[ tell me serious or goofy and i will generate something for you ]

*. wildcard
[ please just wildcard a rift i'm really fine with anything and my brain is completely empty. we can be warriorcat ponies. ]
egodist: (✧ but is all you're counting on)

VIRCHE YVES ROUTE SPOILERS MAYBE THIS SHOULD JUST BE A PC OH WELL

[personal profile] egodist 2024-04-03 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[we'll move it to a pc if it becomes necessary later,,

but scien opens his mouth to respond - and is suddenly struck when suddenly our sweet sweet golden retriever of a boy starts to stumble, coughing. his hand comes up to his mouth and scien moves forward before he thinks to hesitate.]


I hate these illusions.

[but also he's not going to just watch?]
ravenry: (162)

junk....

[personal profile] ravenry 2024-04-03 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she looks at how filthy he is.... as if they aren't all already grease balls. ]

Just rest for this one. I'll take care of it.

[WHY THIS Dahut has a strength of like 2 so arguably this should be impossible but whatever we're going with it]

Why--?!

[IN THEY GO. We have landed in Void Type 2, somewhere on the living side but... fleshy... yay...]
rav3n: (luke47)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-04 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
[I was going to give us a beach episode but the dice said no so I guess Luke is just here looking at his distant cousin]

This guy really follows you everywhere, huh...
rosebleed: @twoeggyyolks on tumblr (051)

B!

[personal profile] rosebleed 2024-04-04 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Since I was cruelly denied memshare with you i will take serious

but at the end we should have them watch link failing all his builds anyway]
rav3n: (luke22)

a!!

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-04 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
[WE ARE MONSTER FIGHTING I GUESS apparently we are not too hungover for this... or maybe we are... let's just die and come back in 4 hours after it's all done

No just kidding Luke is too responsible for that. He picks his way over to join her in concern, ready to steady her if she seems like she's going to fall.]


Hey, hey--take a break for a minute.

[gimme serious, i wish to peer inside dahut's cranium]
rosebleed: @polarsirens on tumblr (039)

[personal profile] rosebleed 2024-04-04 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
[She's definitely weary. Fighting DnD monsters hungover on a ranger build isn't as sexy as a drunken monk build.]

Luke I can't! There's a wet, nude spider on the loose!

[IT COULD BE ANYWHERE]
rav3n: (luke44)

A

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-04 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
[The way I knew exactly what monster this was going to be even before I clicked on it

I guess he can have like. Broken a horn off of one of these things for his weapon. Why not. Either way, he can't help a tired laugh. GOD THEY'RE A MESS.]


I'll hold him still if you see him.

rosebleed: @bashieashie on tumblr (004)

[personal profile] rosebleed 2024-04-04 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
[you have chosen correctly, this is the only choice.]

Great! [She's still wheezing but she gives him a bright thumbs up.] I believe in you!

Let's go find this dog-sized spider.

[She wipes the arrow "clean" on the body of the brood mother, and trots forward to cover him as they proceed.]
rav3n: (luke88)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-04 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and it'll probably scoop you up and take you as an offering to the rats if you don't sit down for a minute.

[DON'T BECOME A RAT SACRIFICE ROSAMUND]

I'll go find it. It'll be fine, I promise.
