EVENT; LIFTS & CORRIDORS

[ataraxites]

CHARACTERS: Ensemble production!
LOCATION: The Corridors.
WARNINGS: Space crazy, violence, etc.
SUMMARY: You may have simply been taking the lift with passerbys, but now you're hopelessly lost.
NOTES: Notes on the corridors.

Those on their way to meet a friend at dinner, or heading to their department, may never reach their intended destination. Instead, characters will find themselves in an unfamiliar part of the ship, abruptly stranded. All attempts to access the elevator will prove fruitless, as the doors cannot be pried open and the lift will not respond when called. It looks like you have no where to go but forward. Hallways will connect only to other hallways, giving you the impression that you're always on your way somewhere- but can't quite manage to arrive. Time spent in the hallways will seem endless, but with luck you may find a break in the monotony. It is possible for characters to find one another, which would be preferable, as it's probably safer traveling in groups. Those that spend an excessive amount of time in their own company will find themselves feeling increasingly hostile and paranoid, until even the walls seem to be watching. That may not be such an exaggeration, with those murals that continually appear...

[ Whatever, he's over it. Werewolf shmerewolf. ]

What changed? Between then and now.

[chromosomes]

What do you mean?

[ No, seriously, because Reaper is confused. ]

laughs cruelly at ic awkwardness due to my own lack of reading comprehension

[growling]

[ Wait now Josh is confused, give him a second. ]

I mean - wait, you mean you got it - like you got super-strength right before you showed up? [ Because he misheard that, but actually, wow, that really sucks. ]

Wow. So that and the ship? Talk about a learning curve. Not that it's not handy for dealing with space monsters, but - that sucks, man.

LMAO A+

[chromosomes]

Not just super strength. Super speed, super reflexes, super senses, super healing... All of it, right before I showed up and in the middle of a crisis situation. I've never had to deal with it outside of one before here.

[ So yeah, definite learning curve. ]

There are perks, but... [ half-shrug. ] It also gets to be a pain in the ass.

wow nice icon

[growling]

Do you know where it came from?

[ His first guess is military experiments, but that seems a bit rude to assume. ]

But I get you. It's amazing how good normalcy looks the second you don't have it. [ Just having the strength and abilities, though - that doesn't sound entirely horrible. At least there's no "want to eat people" catch. Hopefully. ]

Have you tried therapy? Physical therapy, you know, to help you dial it back.

It's a synthetic chromosome found in humanoid remains on Mars.

[ He is 100% serious. ]

Or whatever manages to pass for normalcy, yeah. [ There's a catch though, Josh. There's always a catch. ]

Been working on it, but not considering how I try not to let people know about it and how so few people have experience with it anyway, it's slow going. Tyke and Quinlan have been helping when they can.

[growling]

Oh. Is that all?

[ WHAT THE HELL MAN that's even weirder than werewolf, come on. And oh shit, Quinlan. Not entirely sure he's the go-to guy for chilling out. ]

So, what - Jedi meditation?

[ There's a pause as he considers something else. ]

How long have you been on the ship, exactly?

[chromosomes]

Among other things.

[ Spoilers: Reaper is bad at meditating. ]

Since jump eight.
