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".

He just beams at that, though, even if it's like. The semi-worried beaming of someone who is so concerned for the person they're talking to. IT'S JUST EZ BAKE OVEN BREAD AND SPAM SOMEONE SAVE EUNHYUK.]
I'm glad! Though if we ever find any better ingredients, you'll be the first one who gets to taste-test, okay?
no subject
...]
...Thank you. I'll help look for ingredients too.
[he can't just be fed!! he has to help too!!!!!!! also,]
Have you been taking care of everyone this whole time?
no subject
Thank you! I'd love another set of hands.
[Because Scien does NOTHING fucking Scien Brofiise. There's a little laugh at the question, too.]
Monsieur Luke is good at taking care of himself! But I do have to bother almost everyone at least a little to make sure they're eating properly.
no subject
If this was emotion share Eunhyuk would be like ? Luke is good at taking care of himself? This man who doesn't sleep and has back pain and starts exercising at 3 am in the morning? the rest sounds right though damn viktor and scien are out there,
he looks at dahut like ?]
Are you eating properly?
no subject
Of course! [SAID WITH A SMILE.] I can't take care of the rest of you if I don't take care of myself, right?
[Unlike so many people who are already dead, Dahut does not skimp on food to make sure everyone else gets fed more. EVERYONE EATS EQUALLY.]
no subject
Eunhyuk nods because this is also his policy, but also speaking of taking care of yourself...]
How have you been since you woke up here? Did you collapse again?
no subject
Also handshake same hat club. He shakes his head!]
Nope! No collapsing. I've been fine, more or less! At most, I just felt a little scattered for a couple of days...
no subject
[EUNHYUK WAS A MED STUDENT HE WANTS TO HEAR MORE DETAILS]
no subject
...Which is a liiittle concerning, if I'm honest, considering some of the things we've learned.
no subject
What do you mean?
[the way eunhyuk is just asking questions]
no subject
Well... It turns out that there were dead people here before us! [SURPRISE.] And one said they used to be like us, but now they can barely hold their shape together and it seems to take them a lot of effort to remember things.
no subject
...I see.
[SO WE COULD END UP LIKE THEM?]
Do you think that's what's going to happen to us?
no subject
It's one of many possibilities to consider, yes!
no subject
eats his flatbread,]
We should talk to each other more often then.
no subject
I'm always here any time you want to! Let's do our best to keep each other tethered, okay?
