ROLE — CELEBRANT 🪦

[dropoffs]

CELEBRANT

welcome, crewmate LUCIEN TAVELLE.

On TUESDAY morning after a day having landed on the new planet, then the new amenities to the ship, Lucien will hear a familiar notification ringing from his I.R.I.S. It takes one look, one gesture, and a black message screen displays in a cascade.

It is a request. One easy to ignore if you close your eyes and turn away.

I hope this message finds you well, Mister Tavelle. It would be a lie to say some curiosity isn't part of why I'm going to ask this question. Do you believe in fate? Do you believe in God?

... What if I told you we could possibly talk to lost souls? We could bring them closure. Or perhaps those still breathing can find closure. If what you read interests you, come to the church. I'll open the gate for you.

AMALTHEA

Lucien receives a map, leading him to a locked gate. Air decompresses as the lock unwinds, then quietly the doors open just for him. Beyond, he will see a single open location—the church.

With a green-white glow coming from this room, it almost seems like the complete opposite of a place one would go for spiritual peace. Large stained glass windows cover the walls, depicting scenes of hands coming together, intertwined with vine-like structures, and groups of humanoid figures happily reveling with one another. Rows of pews are lined up facing the dais where there is no altar, but rather, a podium.

There he finds Amalthea gazing upon the stained glass... Perhaps they're mesmerized, but they notice him. Their aura is welcoming yet eerie, but Lucien is here anyway, "Good morning. I'm glad to see this is your choice. Shall we begin?"

RULES

As the crewmate responsible for the Celebrant role, Lucien is expected to follow a few rules:

1. For now, keep your new designation a secret. Should this designation be shared with anyone without prior authorization, consequences and termination of position are possible. This can be revisited at a later date.
2. If you distribute any information acquired, it must be done anonymously or without referencing the source. This can be revisited at a later date.
3. The Celebrant will meet with Amalthea weekly on FRIDAY when it's convenient for all parties involved to perform a seance. This will allow the Celebrant to communicate with a lost soul.
4. They may communicate with the ghost summoned at the seance for a total of 3 questions, though this number may increase with prolonged practice. The Celebrant, however, may not pick the same person that they spoke to the week prior. There is also no guarantee that they will receive a clear answer.
5. Post-seance, the Celebrant will suffer rather terrible headaches and mild hallucinations for the rest of FRIDAY, after the seance.
6. As a note, the church is currently inaccessible to the public! Lucien may only access it with Amalthea present, so it cannot be used as a location for your PCs. Church is public now, oops.

They do not... I was not sure if all of them would be approving of what I'm doing at first, when all of this started. Then the memory issues. I wanted to be careful.

[tombtaker]

[ yeah he thought so. ]

What about your memory, lass?

[dropoffs]

... The effect this week aside, the headaches have subsided for me, at least for what we've covered the last couple of weeks. [ Palm to cheek, tilting her head. ] This would be... A good sign? [ Looks at him like he would know the answer. ]

[tombtaker]

[ well. he'll tilt his head in the opposite direction, hand on his chin. ]

A sign, certainly.

[ looking at her for a long moment. ]

What do you remember now? Or did you ever forget?

[dropoffs]

... After watching a copy of the video again, I remember Jade Brooks once I heard her name and team. It fell into place—but I do not remember what happened to her. [ So that's a start... And. ] Nut & Bolt never contracted me.

[tombtaker]

[ somehow i keep forgetting its. nut and bolt. and imagining amalthea saying this so seriously is so funny. ]

Your name is on the roster list I've seen. Then again, I don't remember being contracted myself, so in that instance, maybe we're the same. Were the others contracted? Do they remember this?

[dropoffs]

[ (witch voice, ominously) Nut & Bolt ] I saw as well and now remembering Jade, I feel... It's more concrete than before that it may be myself rather than some double. [ She taps her chin. ] I haven't asked them since it only came to me this morning and we haven't had our meeting yet. ... While solidarity is nice, I worry what this may mean as a whole.

[tombtaker]

That nothing has changed. Here we remain, yoked to the powers of fate beyond our grasp.

[ two can play the ominous game. ]

I wonder how far the dead have slipped its fingers.

[dropoffs]

... But still we must resist, Mister Tavelle. Shackles can be shaken off. [ Okay. She can't be ominous if he's also being ominous. It's Tuesday and everyone is having a rough time. ] That is a good question, but it does make me wonder something else. With the crew list, would their names be of use for us if they happen to have fallen? Of course they can't compare to Mister Viktor's company.

[tombtaker]

[





huh. terrifying thought. ]

Do we know if ... [ they've fallen for certain? ] Jade Brooks you said was one you remembered. I think I read Abigal Bradley on another.

[dropoffs]

There's always a possibility. Jade Brooks was from combat systems, peer to Callisto. I don't know what happened to her, but I remember she was a bright soul, though somewhat confrontative. Unafraid to speak her mind... Callisto would often try to soften her blows and keep the peace if it offended anyone. [ Sometimes you're a small firecracker. ] Abigail Bradley... From... [ The name does not inflict pain on her since she has read it a couple of times now, but she's drawing blanks with this one. ]
