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 6 PM EST / 3 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".

w1 CYOA react

[rav3n]

[I'm so convinced there's another CYOA out there but throws this up

From where he is trying to get more oatmeal than allotted, or something--]

--Huh?

[WHAT THEY DOIN OVER THERE]

[egodist]

[okay well

scien's eating his crackers and his shoulders are shaking]

Jonkers... Boopsler... Goop Goops... haha.... Hahaha!

[SHOW CONCERN FOR THEIR RIPPED LIMBS]

[rav3n]

They have concussions, and you're laughing?! [THEY DON'T HAVE CONCUSSIONS]

[egodist]

Does that make it any less funny?

[when rodya says this, scien breaks out into a fresh burst of maniacal-sounding laughter]

They're going to the medbay. If it's truly a concussion and the technology even slightly works as intended, they'll be fine.

[rav3n]

[When the emotion is "torn between 'well we can't do anything to help so at least he's having fun I guess' and 'KIM THERE'S PEOPLE THAT ARE DYING'"]

What the hell did Lucien even do in that kitchen... [why is it Lucien's fault? because he suspiciously speedwalked out of there that's why] At least Eunhyuk has medical training, so he can keep an eye on them.

[egodist]

The Liar's medical training is abhorrently bad. Every medical opinion I've received from him is stupidity.

[HELPPPPP NOT LIKE THIS, EUNHYUK CAN'T EVEN DEFEND HIMSELF]

[artificialsweetener]

[WHACKING HIS SHOULDER and also holding a hand out for a cracker...]

Don't laugh! This is so sad...! They lost their arms and their minds in Clownham!

[egodist]

[shoves a cracker into dahut's mouth, but he's still clearly having a great time]

Clownham showed no mercy.

[artificialsweetener]

[WHACKS HIM AGAIN FOR GOOD MEASURE but then happily starts to snack on his cracker while watching this clown soap opera unfold.]

Wow... They sound like they're talking in another language.

[egodist]

[scien is still so amused it's obvious.... he keeps laughing every now and then even as he eats his fucking crackers]

It does. How entertaining. I wonder what became of them, though I don't believe we'll get any answers here.

[dropoffs]

[ Luke can have his oatmeal serving. ] People are losing limbs? Even if we can handle that, that's still not good! [ Oh, no. ]

[rav3n]

[He HUNGERS]

What's the point of monitoring kitchen access if they let just anybody in there?

[This is Lucien's fault until further notice]

[dropoffs]

[ It's Lucien's fault, I guess. ] I think normally Adrastea can see who enters and exits if they have the time to look through footage. It's also a little sad if we barred cooks from cooking, right? I'm glad that they're... Uh... They seem? Sane? I think. [ ?????????? BOOPS? GOOPS? ]

[rav3n]

Is anyone in that group a cook...?

[THE LACK OF FAITH

Also this happens and the subs probably make it even worse so he just looks at Vash like ARE THEY? ARE THEY SANE???]

[dropoffs]

[ Whispers: ] What are they even saying?

[artificialsweetener]

[WELL LATER ON THIS IS ALSO HAPPENING.]

Um?

[egodist]

Clownham takes more victims, I see.

[THEY HAVE SAID NOTHING ABOUT CLOWNHAM]

[artificialsweetener]

[JUST NODDING SOLEMNLY.]

Who knew clowns had such a thirst for blood...

[egodist]

They probably have the most ardent desire to work their way up the food chain.

[like yining]

[artificialsweetener]

Someone should tell them that excessive violence is never the best way to climb to the top.

[Shaking his head... Just be 15 year old geniuses instead, damn.]

[rav3n]

[At least these ones showed up on a craft so they can't blame it on a gas leak]

Did Adrastea take them somewhere?

[artificialsweetener]

[They can still blame it on a gas leak...]

Maybe? Though it sounds like they left without warning the other Senior staff members, so...

[Unless they're a rogue agent, he ain't sure.]

[rav3n]

[True... Luke frowns at the interaction between Adrastea and Europa, but the subs are SO BAD and then the screen cuts away to Todomatsu asking about a second mission.]

"Mission" sounds like they were tasked to do something--planetside, maybe?

[dropoffs]

[ YOU GUYS REALLY ARE JUST.... SUBS... SO FUNNY. Vash pokes in. ] From what I remember, most missions have the objective of dispersing an abundance of electromagnetic waves, which causes galactic storms.

[artificialsweetener]

[THEIR FUCKING SUBS!!!! The dramatic soap opera zoom-ins that we just kept forever...]

Maybe! Whatever it is, they really got chewed up out there...

[At least half of both groups are freaks who just brush everything off.]
