GRAVEYARD.


GR͏∀VE̴Y͞A̵ЯD     13 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 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".

[Damn it's a good thing this TV is in the canteen during hunger week

From where he is making an ez-bake cookie pizza--]


--? What? Viktor?
artificialsweetener: (oya)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-03-09 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
[It sure would be nice if he could react to their soon-to-be newest addition but unfortunately Dahut is mysteriously absent. Maybe he was ratnapped again...]

artificialsweetener: (and ill tell you what you get)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-03-09 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
[MAYBE HE'S BEING MADE INTO THE MONARCH OF A RAT KINGDOM AS THEY SPEAK...]
egodist: (✧ there's nothing real)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-03-09 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
[scien looking confused like

i don't think this is my fault...?]
artificialsweetener: (あれ)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-03-09 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[It probably is...

ANYWAY AT SOME POINT like fifteen minutes after body announcement....... Dahut just manifests out of thin air and also midair over wherever Scien is in a burst of soft shoujo light bubbles! He's posing as if he's mid-spin with his arms out.

He also then just promptly falls with a short scream.]
egodist: (✧ so get ready i'm here)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-03-09 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
[dammit a 14

which means that scien is probably able to snatch dahut out of the air before he collides with the ground, keeping him hoisted in the air with one arm]


Explain.
artificialsweetener: (paperback dreams)

[personal profile] artificialsweetener 2024-03-09 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Oop-! [AS HE'S SCRUFFED. Spared from a terrible meeting with the ground... He seems to be in a very good mood, though?! Despite being ABDUCTED BY SHOUJO ALIENS.]

Ehe, thank you for the catch, Monsieur Scien! I just had a lovely chat with Monsieur Lucien! Also, I think that Monsieur Viktor is dead.

[HE DOESN'T KNOW THEY ALREADY KNOOOW.]
egodist: (✧ take my hand)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-03-09 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
He is. It's about to get far more annoying here.

[he tolerates both luke and dahut.... but viktor..........]

What did that Nonagon want? How did you hear about who died?

[thank you for doing this pixi because even though scien's primary concern is going to be finding his stupid assistant

right now he is

laughing. it really does sound evil this time, not even in that harmless way from after the cyoa returns. he really is satisfied by this.]


Ah. How amusing.
rav3n: (luke101)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-03-09 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ ]

What did he do?
egodist: (✧ unwavering in his fate to persevere.)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-03-09 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Approached me in the hours before my death stating that he intended to steal my technology to overcome his own mortality and become a savior to others.
Edited 2024-03-09 04:05 (UTC)
rav3n: (luke67)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-03-09 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[WELL. Yeah. He sees the issue there. Not that he doesn't understand Viktor's logic--probably--but Scien had expressed his wishes very clearly during trial, so... yeah. RIP Viktor.]
egodist: (✧ i let them linger)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-03-09 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[haha! yeah.

but he will say, evenly and still clearly in a good mood:]


I won't kill him again.
rav3n: (luke55)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-03-09 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
That's not reassuring.

[NOT KILLING HIM IMPLIES TORTURING HIM WHILE KEEPING HIM ALIVE at least to Luke it does anyway]
