ELEVENTH WAVE

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: Keeping up with the tradition and copy pasted like always from the last one


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.

[The look he gives is not even remotely trusting, concentration torn between the flood of thoughts - a lot more manageable this time than it was during the last - and keeping an eye on her.]

Looks like it. [Pause. He breathes.] Thanks for the heads up.

Do you believe in that? Things that are meant to happen? I always found the idea romantic; but lately I began to think of it as a bit sad.

Originally? England. Now I live in New York.

[then she realises that isn't much of an explanation.]

I guess they don't have much use for them if they're not here anymore.

[ supplies run out sooner or later, and Katniss has never liked to let things go to waste. back home, they had very little to begin with, so people either sold it to someone else at the Hob or handed it over to family members or friends -- throwing something away or leaving it to never be used just didn't happen. they didn't have any kind of 'lost and found' box, of course, but people still traded away what they didn't need. it wasn't the reason for her question; she's just trying to find out what she can about the disappearances, as it might tell her something about where Peeta is right now, but this is easier to talk about, anyway. ]

Are you taking care of him until his owner comes back, or don't you hope for that?

[ she holds her hand out for Jones, a brief little greeting to let him know she's not someone to be afraid of. ]

Jus' thinking a place like this could do without more dead bodies 'cause of some moron getting all comfy.

[ The ship isn't made for chaos the way London is; Cat is constantly unnerved by how she doesn't feel an urge to fight and draw blood like she did back home. She also knows that whatever she's chatting is absolute shit, because she only needs to look at Bass to know he's going to be the last person to die via complacency here. She knows that much without truly knowing him.

She just likes to be difficult and antagonistic for no reason.

[ he shakes his head in response, a bit rueful. ]

I can't deny it's strange to have so many people familiar with who I am.

To hear that things will be alright.

Simon already knows this is going to be something of a challenge, even without John's gruff attitude--but really, who wouldn't be this way with the kind of condition he's describing? He puts his hands up slightly in defense, trying not to be intimidated.

"Doctor-patient confidentiality is something I take very seriously."

You know, alongside containing potentially dangerous chromosomes. "You'll be in safe hands."

I don't just believe it, I know it. Some things can be changed, but others are inevitable. You could call it a side effect of time travel... in any case, it can be both terribly romantic and terribly sad.

Let's hope your powers of observation are greater than Phoenix Wright's. [ And that's all she'll say on that matter as she leads the way across the room. ]

I do wonder if the numbers have some meaning behind them, and if so, what it is. [ She glances over at Maya, as though for input. ]

A flash of sheer anger flitted across Franziska's face, mostly unnoticeable as it was so disguised by her usual expression of ire. How dare he... just because Manfred von Karma was her father did not mean that she desired to repeat his mistakes. If anything, he had more positive traits to emulate, and perfection wasn't worth such risks, could not coexist with such risks. Such behavior was in direct contradiction to everything that he had taught her, everything that she had been raised to be. Then again, how would she expect this simpleton to comprehend such a complex matter?

She lashed out at him again - perhaps if he could not understand the subtleties of her father, Larry Butz was at least capable of understanding the pain of her whip.

"You won't need to worry about that," she said, the coldness of her voice at odds with the fire in her eyes and whipping arm. What she left unsaid was I won't let him, because if this truly did turn out to be something more fantastic than some bizarre dream ... she would be keeping a closer eye on Miles Edgeworth than usual.

[ No twizzlers, no dress... Eames drops the Werther's into his duffel bag without further argument. He doesn't need the dress, after all - and if it has some sort of meaning to her, he isn't going to fight her on it. Besides, she'd likely take him down with her pinky finger, he's not going to kid himself otherwise. So, instead, he plops down onto the bench with his back to Tyke as she loads up her bag, knees spread wide and bag placed on his thighs as he crosses his arms on them, back an easy slouch. ]

Have you checked in on Tommy?

[ Since the dream, he means. ]

In some places, people read picture books about my life. Trust me, I understand.

[It just isn't strange to him anymore.]

...hard to believe, sometimes.

Picture books?
[ he lifts wide eyes to his face then. ]
How strange! I should like to see these picture books..

[ however he does catch that, and he only offers a faint smile. ]
Then we've no other course but to believe that things will turn out for the better.
