GR͏∀VE̴Y͞A̵ЯD     13 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 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".

I think... They want to make it harder for people to kill? I don't know how many people would be down for that. [ Luke really is eating well. ]

[rav3n]

[IT'S HUNGER WEEK

Anyway the trial has moved on but I'm slow to refresh so it's at this moment that the camera dramatically zooms in on Viktor's hickeys and Luke chokes on his oatmeal and starts coughing]

[dropoffs]

[ no they are still on handcuffs but it has become handcuff of shitting which is what Vash is very ???? about, but the CLOSEUP to the hickeys with the [ dramatic music ] caption just took him the fuck out. ]

[rav3n]

[I rolled a 3

he's inhaled oatmeal]

[dropoffs]

Luke!! Don't die!!! [ PATS HIS BACK FIERCELY CLEAR YOUR AIRWAY ]

[rav3n]

[Wouldn't it be funny if this is how they discover revival

No I will be nice. Hoarsely--]

Thanks.

[dropoffs]

[ Regular pats now. ] I feel like the cinematography is the most dramatic during trial.

[rav3n]

Don't tell me there's an AI in charge of these cameras.

[Though he's not sure if the idea of a person doing this is better, actually]

[dropoffs]

I'd be able to tell you if it was the regular security cameras on the Eudora, but not here. [ A nervous laugh. ] How big is AI where you're from? It's a little new to me.

[rav3n]

Mm... DAVIS is probably the biggest one. [Well okay technically there are probably government ones but he can't talk about that.] That's what we use for the Big Data Lab--it stands for Data Analytic Virtual Intelligence System.

Normal people don't have anything complicated for personal use, though. Just the stuff that's built into apps or devices like their phones.

[satisficing]

[LOOKING ANYWHERE NOT AT THAT.]

[dropoffs]

[ doesn't say anything ]

[rav3n]

[Sorry he can't help staring]

[satisficing]

[HE DOESN'T LOOK AT LUKE, BUT HE CAN FEEL THE STARING.]

It was the curse.

[rav3n]

Yeah...

[AT LEAST TRY TO SOUND LIKE YOU BELIEVE HIM]

Uh--how are you feeling, by the way?

[satisficing]

[PUTS HIM ON THE "PLEASE BELIEVE I HAVE DIGNITY" MEME CHART.]

...Like shit, if I'm honest.

[rav3n]

[(in an unconvincing tone) HE DOES

His expression softens, though; he pushes his food aside, turning to look at him properly.]

You should get some rest. I can help you to the pods, if you need it. [He glances briefly at the screen, where Shouxue is now examining people's feet.] You don't have to watch this.

[satisficing]

[It takes a long moment if silence, but he finally reluctantly glances back at Luke for once.]

I want to.

[He looks at the television again, lips thin.]

It's the least I could do.

[rav3n]

Alright... if you're sure. Hold on. [He will get up and leave for a bit, then come back with the painkillers from the medkit!! He hands them over.]

Any wounds you've got should heal up on their own, but here--to help, in the meantime. [...He hesitates, glancing at the screen again before he looks back at Viktor.] Do you... can I ask what happened?

[artificialsweetener]

[TRUE LOVE PREVAILS, VIKDON FOREVER.]

[egodist]

[scien out here laughing around his crackers]

[artificialsweetener]

Ah, young love.

[(sidon is older than he is) YOUNG LOVE!! But he's also not interested in poop feet or whatever the hell is going on in trial so he's just pulling up Suika multiplayer and nudging Scien.]

[egodist]

Or lust.

[NO!!!!!

anyway yea it’s suika time until something dramatic and wild happens “Viktor died” old news now…]

[artificialsweetener]

[THE INTERESTING THING THAT'S HAPPENING IS THAT EUNHYUK IS BLEEDING OUT ALL OF HIS BLOOD HELLO.

Dahut pauses in his Suikaing to watch.]

[egodist]

[well

he also tries to stab himself and so much happens by trial end

that scien just laughs]

What a fun ending.
