seventeenth 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: 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.

Isn't that nice of them. [ But he looks a little disconcerted, what with the fact he should probably go back to his pod to find a towel. And he doesn't really remember which of those he fell out of. ] There any way to find these lockers?

No? Blast. Sure hope they managed to grab those when they grabbed me. [ also: bless you. James basically gives a sigh of relief, coupled with a very thankful smile when he grabs the towel, because anything is better than nothing. ] Yes please. [ and okay so it's not gonna cover much but it covers more than was covered before. ] You are a blessing, thank you.

I'm James, by the way.

You can see me.

[Which isn't so difficult now that he's not invisible anymore. Simon looks down, like he's suddenly aware of it himself. Among other things. Simon folds his hands in front of himself.]

I'm not a pervert!

[He scowls. And forget about eye contact.]

I've just never been aboard a spaceship.

As of right now? Fourteen months.

[ she could very easily give him a fake name and in a way she did, because Bela was not her real one. there were several reasons for that and no one else knew what it was. ]

Circumstances aside, it's good to meet you.

[ him turning to face her confirmed who he was: bela didn't even need a name. he's been here before but he wouldn't remember and she's refraining from throwing that nugget of information at him; he'd probably find out from someone else. ]

I recommend sucking on peppermints to help deal with the nausea. There's some in a drawer in the medical bay.

I am not sick. As you can see I am perfectly fine and able to defend myself should someone -

[ you get a look there ]

Try to steal my hair.

[ but the bravado ends the next moment when she presses a hand to her mouth, but luckily doesn't throw up this time. ]

...Were you really trying to see if I'm fine?

You're a wizard.

[ she runs the infortmation in her head, a smile forming on her lips. ]

You're a wizard! aha!

[ suddenly, he's the coolest person alive. ]

What spells can you do and may I see one?

Oh well, I guess hair is sort of what I grow best, better than flowers anyway. I never once cut it and I'll be eighteen tomorrow so that's quite a lot of time.

[ but then she falters. ]

It's my birthday tomorrow and I was supposed to go somewhere, to see something I've wanted to see all my life and now -

[ now she's in trouble and certainly not where she wanted. ]

Yeah.

[He shrugs and runs a hand through his hair.]

Are people trying to steal your hair?

What?

[ strangle someone?

Wait. Watch her stand up and look like the most smug creature on the planet. ]


Why - yes! Yes I am. I am planning to use it to strangle someone and it can strangle someone if I wanted it to. Because it's very dangerous, much more dangerous than you think, hair! So if you planned to do anything to me or my hair -

Consider this your fair warning!

[ Meanwhile Rapunzel is somewhat freaking out.

Silently, mind you. But she eyes her for a moment and then for another before Pascal points at her, clearly indicating she should ask her about this place. Spaceship, personal nightmare and reason mother will never let her out ever again if she ever makes it back down again.

Right.

Looking at her, she begins to whisper to him, which may look a bit absurd. ]


No, she might not know - she might be an alien how can we know she can be trusted? No I'm not going there - what if she's busy I think she looks busy -

[personal profile] sundroplet 2013-04-09 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I've been told people will want to steal my hair. Mother always said, don't go outside, your hair will get ripped from you and stolen and you know, mother knows best aha.

[ had Rapunzel listened she wouldn't be here. ]

Well, I'm not even touching your hair.

[Crossing his arms.] So you're new?

[personal profile] faithlessly 2013-04-09 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ cute.

dean smirks after a beat -- it takes a bit for the whole hair strangling thing to sink in, okay, it was a joke -- and then crosses his arms, giving her hair another long look. ]


Sweet. So what're you, like some kinda fairytale gig gone wrong? [ even though sam's the one with all the fairytale knowledge (which is still really gay), even dean knows the story of rapunzel. sort of. some version of it anyway...

so this is plenty interesting, even if she might not be the real deal. ]


And don't worry, I ain't about to get tangled up in all that.

Such a burden being you, isn't it? [Hope you don't mind a little feel there, Clint.] If only I could alleviate it somehow.

[ Lucrezia seeks him and she's not sure why.

Perhaps because she was never in anyone's debt, perhaps to check on the status of their deal.

Perhaps because he interests her, with the way he healed her, it's hard to keep her curiosity at bay.

She finds him after an hour of searching, a small smile forms on her lips. ]


You have proved yourself hard to find, signore.

You're relentless.

[personal profile] sundroplet 2013-04-09 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
You're not, for now. I hope you won't, it's that your're sorta taller than me in like a lot and I'm not really used to this yet. Have you called it jump?

Yes. We're new. We preferred to be not new as in not here but we are. I'm Rapunzel and this here -

[ she points to the chameleon who sits on her shoulder and is currently scanning him with suspicion ]

Is Pascal.
onsilksheets: (side; smile)

[personal profile] onsilksheets 2013-04-09 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Like she cares about that.]

I'm also devious. As soon as you're done playing hero, I want you all to myself.

[personal profile] sundroplet 2013-04-09 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you making fun of me?

[ her eyes narrow, before she reaches down to grasp the frying pan. ]

I don't know who you think you are but I am not a fairytale gig. I am -

[ a girl who was isolated in a tower with magical golden hair.

...hah.

Maybe he has a point. ]


Rapunzel! Ha! I am just Rapunzel and the only thing that has got wrong is that now I'm trapped here with ruffians like you, you -

Who are you?

[A smile.] Well, none of us really want to be here, I don't think, but we're a little stuck with it. Nice to meet you, Rapunzel. And Pascal, I guess.

We do call it a jump. It's like a jump from place to place.

[ if he had blatantly stared, it wouldn't have bothered lute. he's been stared at far too often by far too many people, after all.

still, he lands lightly on the counter-top, finding a hand-towel and using it to pat himself dry. he glances up at the comment, glancing back at his wings with a thoughtful expression. ]
.. I suppose I must be sturdier than that. [ which is sort of unexpected, given how fragile he is otherwise.

he nods, then, at the request, expression thoughtful and attentive, still wrapped in the towel. ]


Of course. What is it?
handelaar: (bitch pls)

[personal profile] handelaar 2013-04-09 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh goddamnit not her too. His face snaps into something flat and unamused, shoulders falling; running into one facetwin was enough for this jump.]

Your name is Chell, ain't it.

Then it seems dreams do come true.

[That's a little dry but it's not negative or nasty. Just typical Kenobi-Style sass]

And you are?
