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".

My story would end. [She brings her cocoa to her lips, politely sipping as a sort of melancholy settles over her.] I'd die. Or something like it. I don't remember how many times I've lived my life, I can't remember what every ending was like.

Then I'd start over again, back at the beginning. Maybe some details would change, but a lot stayed the same.

I hope next time is different, though.

That is fine.

[ a pause, as he glances at the room. ]

Perhaps later.
discomfort: (okiku)

[personal profile] discomfort 2024-04-12 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ that is fine, he is making no move to get up. ]

I would be offended if that wasn't the case.
pathematic: (neat! except when he's not)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-04-12 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[diluc can get comfy... eunhyuk will pull the blanket up and over him, though he pauses briefly at the question, and then resumes blanketing diluc]

...Yes. I'll make sure to get some sleep. I usually sleep in shifts anyway.

[personal profile] polliwog 2024-04-12 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ yeah they can just use marker to make these into graphic tees.

he shifts so he can put an arm around her as she works. cuddle hours. very unhelpful. ]


I don't really...

[ small fiddly work is not his forte. ]

But my sister was very skilled at it. I know it takes quite a lot of dexterity.
verminous: (a_001)

[personal profile] verminous 2024-04-12 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
I guess maybe I don't mind hearing it.

[yawning a little as he finishes that sentence.]
pathematic: (put it to a vote)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-04-12 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[thinks about saying something emo like he deserves to be, instead]

Should I be flattered by the attention...? But then where would that leave Viktor?
discomfort: (akubōzu)

[personal profile] discomfort 2024-04-12 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ HELP ]

Come now! It is not like they knew he was taken.
artificialsweetener: (there was a girl)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-12 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Like a rosette? That should work just fine!

[Much better than lung flowers...]
pathematic: (me at tarjay)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-04-12 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[CLOSES HIS EYES]

...I was trying to mitigate the damage. But I should have just refused.
pathematic: (capitalism.........)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-04-12 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[LISTEN,,,,,, HE IS SO GUILTY ABOUT IT]
pathematic: (arms crossed)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-04-12 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
He is.

[immediately.... stabs him in his mind palace no. he rescues a stray curl of Rosamund's hair from landing in her hot choccy,]

But you're pretty stubborn too... It all makes sense now...
verminous: (Default)

[personal profile] verminous 2024-04-12 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
C'mon, it can't be that bad.

[besides, he can consider this a belated exchange.]
artificialsweetener: (like pirates to pillage)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-12 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow, that sounds hellish! She'll be able to feel his hands pause for a moment, before he picks up again.]

Is that also a part of the curse? The dying and going back to the start...?
rav3n: (luke112)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-12 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Lets go... but keeps his hand in an awkward circle as he looks around]

Do you have the stuff? [AREN'T THEY MAKING BRACELETS]
polliwog: (pic#17054220)

[personal profile] polliwog 2024-04-12 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, I wish I could speak to one of our craftsmen... [ zora artisans are so talented but he is no expert at Making Things ] We often use materials like silver, sapphire, luminous stones, and diamond. You could say any of those are rare, but not all of them have any special properties.
discomfort: (hone-onna)

[personal profile] discomfort 2024-04-12 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ gently pats his arm. ]

You should get some rest. It's been a busy day.

[ three old yellers and then they got attacked by rats ]
discomfort: (enenra)

[personal profile] discomfort 2024-04-12 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ what kind of drug deal ]
egodist: (✧ thanks for your hard work)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-04-12 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ugh]

The issue is not my accuracy, but rather your attitude.
rav3n: (luke108)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-12 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah they went to French space. Oh wait that's just this game

He looks a little relieved for like 5 seconds before he remembers it's Thursday and two of them are probably gonna be fucking dead tonight and then he's just morose again... HE IS RUINING THIS PARTY WITH HIS RANCID VIBES!!!!

Forces himself to be less of a stormcloud]


Bring me some beads and string?
egodist: (✧ that you've fattened up deliciously)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-04-12 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
[he would answer that it's way more than that harley that's the thing about being called a reliver

but

he's seen what happened to owner so he also pulls his hand back before he can die]


Ah.
pathematic: (arms crossed)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-04-12 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[he told harley and rosamund but he looks at gregor





as if he has to take longer to decide to tell him............ then he'll whisper it to him]

... I'm fine. At least staying up until they all pass out.

[just so he knows they all got to sleep, okay.]

Don't have to worry about me.

[mumbling something else inaudible.]
