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".

[AS USUAL HE JUST AGREES time to go be an info gopher later... He nods at that, though.]
Mm, yep. Your clothes and the blood that was already on me, but it wasn't enough to grab for testing.
[Just added automatically since he knows Scien will ask for said bloody clothes but he already washed them...]

At the very least, we have confirmation that these are our bodies. We haven't been modified to be put into normal human ones to mimic the regeneration process.
So instead, it may be something else that is giving us the ability to heal rapidly and come back from the dead with our memories intact.

Dahut frowns, kicking a foot out under the canteen table.]
Hm... I really want to take a closer look at some samples... The ones that I took from Monsieur Eunhyuk are still here even though yours vanished. Maybe next week we'll have access to better facilities?
[MAYBE...]
no subject
Whatever we aren't given, I can probably develop.
[i hate that this is true but he will be stopped by the mods it's okay]
no subject
Mm... Well! That's as good a place to start as any, I guess.
[MOD NERF MOD NERF. It's fine they have their............flesh lab.]
...How are you feeling? Everything's come back all fine, right?
no subject
Should an anomaly be noticed, go get the Busybody. Or the gun.
no subject
He just nods, though. He doesn't bother saying he'll stay with Scien during the monitoring because 1) it's obvious and 2) it's necessary.]
Okay! Good thing that you seem to all be back in order, buuut... I'm not entirely sure I like the ultimate implications of that!
[LIKE. IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE SLOWLY DIGESTED LIKE THE OTHER GHOSTS THEY CAN'T EVEN SELF-TERMINATE??]
no subject
I'm not sure what's going to happen from here, but if things get dangerous, at least we won't be immediately losing our lives over it.
Though it enters a different conversation about why they're being sustained in this place in the first place.
no subject
Maybe we're fuel for the ship... [no that was the last space game]
no subject
I do think that this fleshy, growing area still being connected to the ship is suspect.
no subject
[HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE DEAD IN GENERAL WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING.]

How sad... Just like boats in the rough water!
