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".

w2 also mon.... but way later
I used the gashapon machine in the canteen and got this.
[he holds up a receptacle, and also a note that says Hello From the Other Side.]
I can send an item to the other side that will curse anyone who interacts with it. I'm not sure what kind of item to send, or what the curse should be. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
[we're crowdsourcing our haunt item]
no subject
He nods, holding up his own note.]
I got one that lets me summon an animal, but I don't know if I could make it appear over there. I can try, though. [Peanut squawks indignantly from his shoulder, but Luke ignores him.] Should we try combining them, or keep them separate?
[Imagine cursing someone to be looking around for a polar bear named Dabutt but the polar bear is stuck on this side so they just look insane]
no subject
Does it say how long the animal will last?
[is it............ A PERMANENT ANIMAL?]
no subject
Two hours, or until it fulfills whatever command I give it. [He's quiet for a minute, thinking.] I guess, first, we should probably decide what we want to convey to them. Are we just trying to let them know we're here, in case Lucien didn't mention it? Or should we try to tell them something specific?
[Luke thinking they should tell people that Vash is here with them but I, pixi, don't want to spoil it because it's funny to surprise them]
no subject
eunhyuk thinks]
I think some of them know by now, if they're looking at the Her-mes. [the way eunhyuk has also not sent anything yet, paralyzed by guilt.]
I know that they've been looking more into the senior crew and their memory loss, and also their pasts. And more about the nanites in general. But I don't know if we have anything relevant to tell them.
[as for vash...]
Maybe we can tell them to talk to their Callisto?
no subject
[Thinking about
The chaos of Curse Wednesday
He didn't even see everything because they were busy getting ratnapped]
no subject
It probably will. [DON'T JUST DOOM THEM] But we might just have to take our chances.
[eunhyuk: save everyone
eunhyuk: embarrassment is temporary and so is suffering, the only thing that matter is the end goal]
no subject
Alright. I'll see if I can send them a hint about Callisto. [Peanut chirps again... and Luke glances at him, thoughtful.] Maybe I can try to send them a myna bird? That way they'd know it's from me.
no subject
...That's not a bad idea.
[imagine you can't send animals to the living and now peanut has to live with a doppelganger for two hours]
Then if I use mine at the same time, they'll assume the item is from you.
[thanks for the virginal cake luke]

Ah, I have an item that will make someone lie for twelve hours, if we need it. I'm not a fan of it, myself, so I can just give it away if one of you wants it?
[HIS ITEM... Anyway, more importantly:] We should make it an item that they're guaranteed to interact with, like a coin on the ground!
no subject
I can't think of a use for it. [from said liar] Maybe you could trade it in?
[as for the coin... this is such a fcking funny idea]
But that's a good idea. [A PHOTOCARD OF BUZEN!!!!!!!!!] How about a key? Since they don't need money.
no subject
Maybe! I'll give it a try later.
[NOT THE BUZEN PHOTOCARD you personally appear in the game as yaywon from real life to go get the photocard. He'll nod at the suggestion, though!]
That's a good one! A key seems pretty harmless and the people here are curious enough that someone will pick it up. But what should we have them do? Open their mouth and point inside any time anyone talks about the dead?
[IMAGINE.]
no subject
ALSO HELP. THIS CURSE. IT WOULD BE SO FUNNY. HELP ME. eunhyuk looks back at his little note from the receptable]
I'm not sure how often they talk about the dead. It says the item and curse will only last from two to six hours, depending on how complicated we make the curse.
[eunhyuk only talked about the dead once and that was thurs curfew when he was incredibly murder aggro]
...What about making them talk about us? They'd realize something is wrong if they just start randomly talking about the dead.
[YEAH THEY FCKING WILL]
no subject
Also Dahut can't relate wow he's always talking about the dead. But he'll still nod, lifting his hand to tap a finger against his chin.]
That's not a bad idea, either! Maybe if their attention is drawn back to us, they'll start looking for other signs and actually notice our HER-MES messages.
no subject
Then I'll use the item tomorrow.
