GRAVEYARD... 4!


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".

Dahut! Scheiße--

[TRYING TO HOLD HIM STILL I GUESS

HELP???]
artificialsweetener: (dreams of an old room)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-11 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[HE CAN DO THAT. Dahut's fully unconscious by this point, frothy blood leaking from his mouth as his body spasms in the painful death throes brought on by poison. Owie.]

[jesus christ

okay well nobody informed gregor about old yeller solutions but this is for sure an old yeller problem? dahut is definitely dying. and he does know they come back, so.

since his arm is back at its normal capability, it's a very easy thing to just

give him a quick beheading.]
artificialsweetener: (with white plaster windows)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-11 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[WELL THAT'S ONE WAY TO QUICKLY SOLVE PROBLEMS. Dahut's head is once again separated from the rest of his body and thunks onto the floor while his body spasms a few more times before stilling.

Dahut is dead, goodnight moon.]
pathematic: (warriors did this to him)

[looking up very blankly from where half of everyone is already dead]

We have to kill him.
verminous: (im-sorry)

That would've been great to know a little earlier, bud.

[Shouting over from holding Sheba]

We don't have med pods here, Gregor! They'll come back in four hours at the Grinder! Just...

[She wets her lips.]

Scien and Dahut had shots for it! I don't know where they are!

[well, i hope rosamund meant "kill her" since THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING

because he Will in fact pierce her heart with his arm if this is what rosamund is asking. he can kill very quickly.]

[It really is what she was asking.

Not that she enjoys the sight one bit.
