GRAVEYARD... 4!


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".

[eunhyuk is in a comfy hoodie and sweatpants set, here to join everyone in the pillow fort!!! he'll also be right next to Luke at all times and throughout this entire night, but otherwise,

he is holding a crystal rat in his hands, turning it over and over.]


...I think this is the first time we've been able to see them.

[WE NEVER GOT TO BE IN THE PC FILTERS BEFORE]

They did send materials for that earlier...

[Seeing how Rosamund brought the bag of supplies here]

Somehow a plan has formed together. What a long road it has been.

[part of me still can't believe this game is almost over]

[Dahut is here, continuing to exude his air of insane delighted optimism. He probably is still carrying like twenty crystal rats in his pockets. He's also wearing his big cozy purple sweater instead of jammies because he fully intends to fuck off at some point and go do other shit that isn't sleeping, but for now, he'll gladly clink clink toast a hot choccy.]

You should let me braid your hair! Or we could use the supplies they sent us to make this thing I heard of earlier. They're called "friendship bracelets" and they're all meant to be worn as a matching set with your friends! Isn't that the cutest?

[Now that they no longer have to worry about building their own vessels...]

They should look like us, so we get put near our proper bodies.

Mm... although it is helpful for us they all stayed together.

[Leans into Marge's shoulder.]

This will all be over soon. One way or another.
pathematic: (does he only wear flannel)

One of them had a note.

[holds out a rat with a note that says "be sure to name your new son after yourself so all the living can meet them!"]
discomfort: (rōjinbi)

They should have started devouring each other at the end. The final, remaining one would cannibalize itself.

[ SIPS!!! STOPPPP ships it with the truth tea i guess. ]

... it looks like it, yes.

Feel free to braid it if you want.

[No word on friendship bracelets, but she's willing to let her hair be braided. There's a lot of it, after all!]

[he's just like. fondly watching rodya check in on people, and yuri being cute with shu, with the occasional worried look at io.]

Kinda nice to watch, honestly. Think we pass out over here?

[Okay I found the perfect ironic pajamas. I longed desperately for a horrible clashing pattern but failed so this is the next best thing. But yes he's basically glued here for like 95% of the night probably

He's still available for conversation but he's not good company; he's mostly just quietly sitting with his hot choco, alternating between watching living TV and watching everyone else, especially his fellow CYOAers. He's got a bag next to him that he uses to cough flowers into now and then, like a kid on a long road trip. Guh-ross.]
pathematic: (are we doing okay guys....)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-04-12 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
[HE CLOSES HIS EYES AT THAT...]

At this point, it feels like we're trying to outdo each other.

[HANGMAN... TRASH.... RATS....]

I feel like there's enough of a balance of reasonable people and also absurd ones over there. We were probably spared something far worse.

[Shakes in fear of the living's power]
discomfort: (kasha)

[personal profile] discomfort 2024-04-12 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
I am not sure.

[ glances at any of the others, since they would be able to answer that. ]

There is no reason for us to be in lockdown, in any case.
pathematic: (we thinky)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-04-12 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[looks around as he waits for someone to chime in that there was more than one





well]


Maybe they thought we'd look through all eight hundred...
