twenty second jump;

CHARACTERS: Any and all.
LOCATION: Gravity Couches and beyond.
WARNINGS: Maybe some swearing, or even some violence, and more than likely some implied (and possibly explicit) nakedness.
SUMMARY: Another month, another jump, another round of new faces.
NOTES: Something's different. Characters will wake with the vague feeling that they're being watched, but they will have no memories of anything strange occurring. The sensation will most likely fade throughout the day. It's nothing to worry about; just another side effect of the post-jump disorientation, right?



You feel like you're being watched.





DON'T WORRY.

GO BACK TO SLEEP.


You wake up in darkness.


There's a breathing tube jammed down your trachea, and you're suspended in a tube of clear blue fluid. Upon registering your level of consciousness, the gravity couch drains the fluid surrounding you and retracts the breathing apparatus; the doors in front of you open, and you're deposited on the floor of a stark, sterile medical bay.

You are not alone.

There are others who have come before you, others who are awakening beside you. Some may be familiar to you, perhaps even friends. Others have much less amiable plans. Some are merely alien and inexplicable, but there are always those who might mean you harm.

After you catch your breath and your vision returns, you notice a number on the inside of your forearm. Maybe it's a familiar number. Maybe it means something. Maybe it's just a number. But the number—completely unique to you—is a tattoo, and it does not come off.

If you enter the room adjacent to the medbay, you will find a small locker with your number on it, surrounded by rows upon rows of identical lockers. Inside, you will find a few of your personal items, a communications device, and a ship's uniform in your exact size. The comms device is fully powered and connects directly to the ship's network; it's your only means of communication beyond physical conversation. Upon turning the device on, a neutral, automated voice will say, "Please take the blue lift to the passenger quarters." Any other attempts at communicating with the rest of the network are met only with static.

This is your welcome party.

[Chell is putting her hair up when she notes the hologram. And she gets closer to look at it. Curiously.]

[He gestures at the child in the image]

My little girl.
toomuchtenacity: (What is that?)

[She nods, offering a small smile.]

[Not the most talkative, are you?]

Safe at home, fortunately.

[Nope. However she does now have a new weapon.

She pulls out a notebook and writes something down before showing it to him.]


Her name?

[So mute, it would seem]

Leia. My little Lelila.
toomuchtenacity: (Well I got out didn't I?)

She's cute.

[And the mans doting is cute as well. Families, normal families. This must be what it's like for most people.]

She is.

[Yeah, he's a bit of a bragger]

Quite a handful. But adorable.

Three. It's a very energetic age.
toomuchtenacity: (Hello again)

[personal profile] toomuchtenacity 2013-08-11 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[She'll nod, even if she has no idea if that's normal or not.]

I wouldn't change it for anything though.

[She nods again, with a smile. Because that is cute.]
