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".

Eunhyuk lowers his IRIS, because yeah, scien went and fcking died. AGAIN. FIRST GY DEATH. WOW.]
What about regaining your godhood?
no subject
But even I have my limits.
[and this is where the clouds start to get stormy, despite the smile on scien's face. being made a puppet.... truly unacceptable for one who used to be god]
no subject
they no longer have the benefit of emotion share, but eunhyuk does remember scien's anger -- though, he's not sure how much of his anger was really his then.
at least he knows now that this is all scien's.]
Then make sure to survive until you can. So you can fucking kill them.
no subject
[please take the words of encouragement normally, scien]
no subject
[get permaded idiod]
no subject
How? Are you threatening me?
[the second question is a joke but it's scien so unclear if it's delivered like a joke]
no subject
[this is also a joke but unclear because also true,]
Dahut mentioned that it was a possibility that we could end up like the former crew.
no subject
[whoa..... gay.]
We could. But like I said, if even a piece of my consciousness lives on, it's a bad outcome for them.
no subject
You'd be more formidable if you had all your pieces. But I'll hope that at least some of you remains.
no subject
Oh? Are you planning on making me do all the work?
no subject
[this is a group project and it's called survival]
no subject
no subject
[this is how it works]
no subject
That might work on lesser men than me.
[i see what spoon said about eunhyuk being too alpha and dion not liking it
scien thinks he's trying to wear shoes too big for him to fill like a toddler]
no subject
I'll be satisfied as long as a piece of you exists.
[HE'S NOT ASKING SCIEN TO LIVE. HE JUST WANTS THE THE WILL TO LIVE.]
no subject
[whether he exists, or chooses to exist, is so separate from eunhyuk... i'm sorry he's such a fucking asshole]
no subject
I want to acknowledge that.
[he will continue to want scien to survive rat hell]
no subject
Is that supposed to mean something to me?
[every statement that eunhyuk makes that is something along the lines of 'i want' and 'i decided' and scien is like 'that's a personal problem']
no subject
he really only knows what it means for him,]
You said it shouldn't concern me. So I'm just saying that it does.
no subject
I don't control your feelings on the matter, and don't care to. But know that your feelings aren't something I will be taking into consideration. You haven't earned that right.
[eunhyuk is another rando on the street who scien gave a task and that was it]
So don't waste my time by telling me what you want from me—that is one of the last things I care about.
no subject
[and he doesn't think he really needs to, since scien is clearly interested in living]
I want to be as clear with you as you are with me. You can believe that everything you do has nothing to do with me. I'll believe in the opposite.
no subject
Why.
[why delude himself into being concerned after someone who clearly doesn't care about him]
no subject
I like your honesty. It's easy to talk to you. You're also intelligent. And you matter to people I also care about.
no subject
anyway these are all factual statements.... well, aside from the part about him being easy to talk to, but that's a matter of weird opinion. scien just settles for rolling his eyes.]
Just don't get in my way, or try to tell me what to do. If you impede me, I won't tolerate it.
[but otherwise, scien does tend to leave people be]
no subject
thinks about how scien was tastefully nude during this entire conversation, me that is, eunhyuk is not thinking about scien's very nice body right now, he is just nodding]
Alright.
[he understands... he might blunder into getting in scien's way but he won't do it intentionally, and he won't intervene in what he thinks is scien's purview: experimentation and all the sacrifices he'll make for it.
he will just keep hoping that scien comes back from every one]
