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".

no subject
but for now, Eunhyuk will look at him as if he's checking to see if Luke will be okay for the .5 seconds he'll be away to get him these things... and then he will go retrieve them.
places them in Luke's hands,]
Here. Are you trying to keep busy?
[maybe SLEEP LUKE]
no subject
No he just takes them and slouches, getting to work on a bracelet.]
Mm. For now. [Until they...?? Lose sight of the living??? Or they all explode or whatever awaits them. Who knows. At least his mind scramblies seem to be relatively lowkey right now, so that's something.]
no subject
he'll just lean against Luke and watch him as he works then, watching this bracelet take form unless a crystal rat is involved in it somehow ig,]
no subject
When he's all done he'll grab Eunhyuk's wrist and put it on him without asking, like a rudeass]
no subject
he holds up his hand and tilts it back and forth, watching the bracelet slide up and down, then he reaches for luke's hand, lacing his fingers with his,]
Thanks.
[softe]
Now make one for yourself.
[BOSSY?]
no subject
No way. Who makes their own? [Literally everyone else in this room that is currently making bracelets, that's who]
no subject
he doesn't let go of luke's hand but he opens up the other, picking up the leftover beads and string.]
Then I'll make you one.
[he doesn't know how he's gonna fck it up. he drops beads onto a string but he doesn't know how to make the knot at the end so they kind of just keep spilling down the elastic on both ends]
no subject
Eunhyuk is so lucky he can't take a photo because he picked up his hot chocolate again and now both his hands are occupied
Helpfully:] They're falling. [Be nice]
no subject
he gathers them up and tries again, one-handed. it goes just as well as before]
no subject
He watches him struggle for a while but eventually has mercy and puts his cup down so he can pinch the other end of the string... he'd have to use both hands to fix the knot so at least this way the beads won't FALL EVERYWHERE]
no subject
he'll slide pink and green beads onto the string....and add a single dark blue one at the end. then he'll finally release luke's hand to try and make a knot.... will he manage it............]
no subject
I DUNNO YAYWON WILL HE MANAGE]
no subject
ALSO no, no he will. he just makes a knot but it's like too small and the bead slips over it anyway, what the.........]
...Can you tie it for me.
no subject
Fucking help though THIS IS KILLING ME and also Luke (again). He coughs, but it's not petals it's just a half-assed attempt to pretend he's not laughing at this ridiculous struggle. He's not trying very hard.]
I got it. [TIES IT PROPERLY... nice and sturdy. He glances over at the screen after he's done, his gaze softening as he sees Anise being herself, and then flicking over to where Aiba is now out.] ...I'm surprised so many of them have stayed.
[Though shockingly he's not thinking of this in depressing "I THOUGHT I GAVE THEM PTSD ABOUT GROUP CURFEWS" terms and more just, some people are party poopers]
no subject
LISTEN... listen.... he's never made bracelets before? he holds the completed bracelet in his hand, and then slides it on luke's wrist.]
Shoma must have been pretty convincing.
[shoma... who was also spared luke's traumatic cyoa death]
no subject
He will accept this and go back to drink his hot chocolate, settling back against his side.]
Mm. [HE WAS ON HIS OWN CYOA HE HAS HIS OWN TRAUMA... Luke sighs softly.] He's a good kid.
no subject
Eunhyuk will put his arm around him, resting his head against his.]
You sound like a dad.
[AT LEAST CALL HIM A BIG BROTHER]
no subject
I don't want to hear that from you of all people. [Eunhyuk would stand in front of the TV in the dad pose]
no subject
I can say that because I'm the same way.
{he embraces his dad role]
