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".

[IMAGINE HE JUST STARTS USING THEIR ONE GLUE STICK FOR THIS.]

Bracelets! I think they're usually made of beads or string in this case...

[How weird when he has mostly just seen bracelets from the Royal Family which are definitely not made from beads or string.]
rav3n: (luke96)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-12 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[LMFKJSHDGK yeah I'm creating my own CYOA side effect (gluestick theft)]

...Let's make some. [He wants to keep his hands busy]
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!

[Takes his wrist to measure it with his fingers... is shocked by how tiny Dahut is, much like Aki babyhands]
artificialsweetener: (oya)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-12 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
[DON'T MAKE HIM START SWINGING.

He's not going to, he's just looking at Luke with mild confusion before reaching out to copy the gesture on Luke's wrist.]
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]
discomfort: (enenra)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-12 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[You thought Margaret was the one with the drugs but it was him all along

wait no he's asking IT WAS DAHUT ALL ALONG]
Edited 2024-04-12 03:50 (UTC)
artificialsweetener: (あれ)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-12 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[you want in on it]
artificialsweetener: (oya)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-12 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Rummages in his pocket and then holds a hand out for Luke's free one.]
rav3n: (luke79)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-12 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Holds out his--wait he has hot chocolate

...

squints at the hand he's making a circle with for a second like he's memorizing the size and then extends that hand]
artificialsweetener: (あれ)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-12 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Puts five crystal rats in his hand.]
rav3n: (luke43)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-12 04:05 am (UTC)(link)








Those aren't beads.
artificialsweetener: (paperback dreams)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-12 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
No, but they're cute!

[He'll dig back into his pocket and hand over some beads, though. They're not freeballin it, they're in a lil container.]
rav3n: (Default)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-12 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[DON'T SAY FREEBALLIN BEADS

But he nods his thanks and accepts them!! And will start to work on a little friendship bracelet for Dahut... he picks this up so much easier than sewing, woah. The colors don't even look bad?? HOW COME HE CAN DO THIS BUT HE CAN'T DRESS HIMSELF LIKE A SANE PERSON.]
artificialsweetener: (oya)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-12 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
[FREEBALLIN BEADS

This is so funny though what is he so good at this for but then he has a sideways pocket. Dahut just watches after a few moments, taking an unnecessary break in his own work.]


Have you done this before?
rav3n: (luke66)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-12 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
[burns all his clothes

Luke does not seem to understand why this is so surprising]


Mm. I learned how to make jewelry a while back. [You'll never guess why...]
artificialsweetener: (wont you carry it in)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-12 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
[It's because he can't even sew his clothing together without it falling apart.]

Hm... For someone who likes jewelry?

[He knows why... Everyone knows why...]
rav3n: (luke17)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-12 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Glances at him... glances away... doesn't answer...]
artificialsweetener: (that long to retire)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-12 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
—What's the point in doing that?!
rav3n: (luke39)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-12 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
What's the point of asking questions you know the answer to?

[LIL SHIT]
artificialsweetener: (wont you carry it in)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-12 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I didn't know know that I knew the answer.

[HE DID.]
rav3n: (luke40)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-12 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
You definitely did.

[DAHUUUUUT]
artificialsweetener: (あれ)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-12 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't fuss, just make your bracelet.
rav3n: (luke88)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-04-12 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll give it to someone else. [He won't because it's already halfway done and it's very green]
