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".

rav3n: (luke97)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-03-14 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[It was gonna be a cat tail but you know what, sure, just for you it can be a black one like this. I don't have a better shot so this is what you get.]

There aren't enough pods for this. [HE SAW IT ON THE TV...]
pathematic: (CAN U STOP WEARING FLANNEL)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-03-15 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
[luke is so handsum i love him... i just watched a movie about a dragon so dragons are on my brain right now,]

They'll have to coordinate. Or someone has to take charge and assign shifts. If it's left up to them, then no one will be healed.
rav3n: (luke22)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-03-15 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
[DRAGON BRAIN... the way I had to go look at the spreadsheet of upcoming cards from the China server and there's like a million kicks dirt]

...Maybe we can leave them a message about it. Or we can try to get Io to supervise.
pathematic: (arms crossed)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-03-15 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[YOU'RE TRAPPED IN TOT FOREVER]

We could. But I don't know how many of them will listen. [a beat] To Her-mes or to Io.

They're very similar to us.

[he meant to say just luke but he's including himself in there to be fair]
rav3n: (luke48)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-03-15 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
[No I'm abandoning it forever]

They can't be that bad. [For once he will acknowledge this one thing, mostly because he thinks it doesn't matter since he's used to stitching up his own wounds]
pathematic: (oh god this part)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-03-15 12:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[CAN LUKE STITCH UP A MISSING ARM]

You lost a limb, but so did everyone else in your group. Would you have listened if someone told you how long to stay in the pod? Or would you have just used it to stop the bleeding and nothing else?
rav3n: (luke24)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-03-15 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Chop it off and find out]

Is "someone" a doctor, or someone else with experience on the front lines? Then yes, I'd listen. [Luke just like YOU WANNA TALK TRIAGE OKAY LET'S TALK. This is a big fat lie and he would not listen though.] If not, then I'd expect them to listen to me.

[He's the type who would manhandle people into the pods whether they liked it or not... NONCON HEALING]
pathematic: (eunhyuk and his gray shirt)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-03-15 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[THIS IS A BIG FAT LIE LUKE YOU BINCH THIS IS WHY EUNHYUK IS CALLED NOSEBLEED NOW BC LIAR MEANS TOO MANY PEOPLE IN THIS FCKING GY]

You have experience on the front lines?

[YOU'RE NOT A DOCTOR EITHER]
rav3n: (luke13)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-03-15 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Some, yeah. [Some...] That's why I'd know better than most of them if I'd need time in there or not, and how much. I can keep myself going if I have to.

[He probably wouldn't bleed out on the floor like an idiot... how can he keep throwing himself in front of danger if he dies stupidly!!! Sudden death by illness escalation notwithstanding,]
pathematic: (we thinky)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-03-16 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
[why does eunhyuk have a headache all of a sudden, weird]

The point is delegating so that no one has to keep going if they have to.
rav3n: (luke24)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-03-16 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and someone needs to do the delegating. Logically, that should fall to the most experienced person.

[Which he thinks would be himself or like, Lovelace. "What about Eunhyuk" Eunhyuk quit med school he doesn't count "What about Scien" Luke's decided it's good for Scien to have his orders ignored]

It's a moot point here anyway, since we don't need them. [Unless you're a Virche and insane, apparently] But they should make a plan over there. The sooner the better.

[They will not make a plan because everyone loves to chop off limbs]
pathematic: (neat! except when he's not)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-03-16 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
[no it should fall to the person who will also prioritize themselves so that they don't mcfcking DIE OF BLOOD LOSS!!!!!]

You should send them a message on Her-mes then, as the person with most experience.
rav3n: (luke101)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-03-16 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
You're not very subtle.

[HE SEES WHAT YOU'RE DOING]
pathematic: (my laptop overheats when i make them)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-03-16 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
['_'?]

It would be helpful.
rav3n: (luke43)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-03-16 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Then you do it. [YOU'RE THE "DOCTOR"...]
pathematic: (congrats on ur first love!)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-03-16 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[I THOUGHT EUNHYUK DIDN'T COUNT BECAUSE HE QUIT MED SCHOOL]

Are you giving me authority?
rav3n: (luke83)

[personal profile] rav3n 2024-03-16 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Personally he doesn't think anybody here has authority over anybody else (except for Dahut and Scien's weirdass relationship) but you know, if Eunhyuk is giving him this easy opening,,]

Temporarily. Do it right or I'll take it back.
