GRAVEYARD... 4!

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".

Right? Assuming the connection lasts that long... I bet they won't let us see who stays awake through it.

It was one of the missions.

Oh. Oh!

[Truly taken aback.]

Sorry, I don't think I spoke much to him before I...left.

[Their only quality time was him supervising her possessed ass in the Med Bay.]

You were close, I take it?
artificialsweetener: (there was a girl)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-12 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
[STOP COUGHING NOOO he looks briefly concerned before patpatting his back.]

Oh? None of them were familiar to me, but they all seemed very friendly!

[He didn't get the Lucien rat...]

[personal profile] barriermaddened 2024-04-12 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Throughout the weeks we did give them a lot of reasons to associate us with rats. I'm not too surprised they want us to become some.

[That look Harley gives to the pyramid doesn't go unnoticed. She smiles]

Would you do something in particular to that if you had the chance?
messy: (205)

[personal profile] messy 2024-04-12 02:40 am (UTC)(link)

[personal profile] discomfort 2024-04-12 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ there's a pause, and he will readjust his position so he can pull her closer to him. ]

I understand. But I do not know how to answer your question.
artificialsweetener: (if you ask in that soft voice)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-12 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly! See? It's not terrible at all.

[But he is speaking possessed by the spirit so WHO KNOWS, REALLY.]

It's too bad we don't have any flowers...
artificialsweetener: (it's a science)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-12 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
[YOU TAKE YOUR OWN INJURIES, YOU TAKE YOUR OWN EFFECTS, DAMN.]

Okay! We can make one for each other, first!
messy: (046)

[personal profile] messy 2024-04-12 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, shit, let's make friendship bracelets! We can put them on our vessels just in case they can't come along with our [gestures between the two of them] current body situation.

Oh, like Baiken? [ yeah... ] We've been together long enough that even the most reserved people must be ready to open up a bit.

[ two months of duress almost ]

[Looks to the ceiling, truly perplexed.]

Kind of...not really? I'm not, um. Sorry, I forgot who does and doesn't know by now, but I'm more of a story than a person, Margaret.

[Smiles awkwardly. This explains nothing.]

It's more like beginning the first chapter of a book. Wherever that book begins.

Well.

All you need to do is build them a strip club, and you should distract them enough to win.

Amen to that.
