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".

[he's lame, his fitcheck is his limbus uniform, sorry.

anyway he's here to chill, but also.]


Hey, if people are messing with each other today, I'm outsourcing, I already got called out once for cursing people.

[please help use up the curse stash thanks! suggestions welcome bc we are sharing accountability TODAY comrades.

for my own reference and so i don't have to repeat answers what we're working with is:
-speaking honest thoughts (he has two of this)
-intense paranoia
-gleefulness
-shorter poisoning or longer tummyache
-object that curses people who interact]
artificialsweetener: (let's have a party)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-13 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Are we putting all of ours together? I have a couple, too, in case anyone wants to use them.

[He'll add two to the pile!

-onomatopoeia sfx bubbles
-make someone give bad advice for 12 hours]


We should do something fun with your egg casserole curse. Maybe we can give them something cute to make up for all of the other curses?

[A tragedy that it will just corrupt into whatever we oocly wish for it to be by the time it gets to the other side...]

[personal profile] verminous 2024-04-13 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Something cute that curses 'em to-- I don't know, give Yuri a hug.

[imagine we start with this ic and it becomes Awful]
artificialsweetener: (uwah)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-13 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[NOT LIKE THIS.]

She really deserves it after everything...
verminous: (Default)

[personal profile] verminous 2024-04-13 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
She does! So why not, it'd be pretty harmless.

[and then it TURNS INTO POLY BIRD]
artificialsweetener: (paperback dreams)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-13 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope she likes it!

[SHE WILL NOT BECAUSE THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO LUKE IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN TO GREGOR.]

After what the Eudora did to her with the horrible rat egg, she does deserve something nice.

[keepin' up the lie]
verminous: (story_003)

[personal profile] verminous 2024-04-13 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Ugh, the egg... absolutely nothing rat related for her.
ravenry: (162)

[personal profile] ravenry 2024-04-13 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Cute?

[ she shakes her head. she does have

-age regression for 6 hours
-making someone lie for 12 hours
-make a copy of someone for 1 hour ]


I feel cute is unnecessary....
artificialsweetener: (wont you carry it in)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-13 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[THEIR GROWING STASH.]

Really? Some of them deserve it, at least a little...
ravenry: (73)

[personal profile] ravenry 2024-04-13 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
The only one who deserves that kindness is Yuri. [ a beat. ] Charles does, too, even if...

[ they already rat cursed him, and she thought it was funny for the five minutes it lasted. ]
artificialsweetener: (let's have a party)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-13 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Monsieur Charles just has the air of someone who's fun to curse.

[POOR SWEET CHARLES.]

Oh, you had one of those too.

[Sora is literally using her own onomatopoeia one right now, blowing a watermelon-scented bubble]

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-13 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[HELP THEIR CURSE STASH.]

Ehe, I did! I'm not very fond of the concept of curses in general, but this one's a pretty cute and harmless one, all things considered.
barriermaddened: 14 (14)

[personal profile] barriermaddened 2024-04-13 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I thought using curses was rather fun.

[Her power domain is Essokinesis, and the Omegamart curses were the closest thing she had to that. Using those constantly was mostly out of spite at the setting for taking away her reality modification powers]

[ the way he doesn't icly know who did this to viktor ]

...I think we've cursed them quite a lot now...
artificialsweetener: (waded through the spirits)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-13 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[AND NO ONE EVER WILL.]

Are you feeling merciful, Monsieur Sidon?
polliwog: (fa44)

[personal profile] polliwog 2024-04-13 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ the body horror of turning into a completely different species... they do this so often ]

Maybe a little... we've teased Viktor so much. [ I THINK HE DESERVES IT BUT SIDON IS NICE ]
artificialsweetener: (if only the things i desire)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-04-13 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[THEY REALLY DO...]

We have! And the rifts have, too...

[NOT DADDY BAHAPURR ON MAIN.]

[personal profile] messy 2024-04-13 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
It's good for 'em. We're teaching them to expect the unexpected.
polliwog: (fa01)

[personal profile] polliwog 2024-04-13 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Well. ...That's true! They need to be prepared for rats without warning!

[ THEY HAVE SENT SO MANY FUCKING RATS ]
messy: (229)

[personal profile] messy 2024-04-13 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly! Expect rats at all times!

If we're sharin' curses, I got one that forces someone to do one task for me.
