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.

--Okay. Okay.

[He's so confused.]

Let's just-- Go lie down, then, okay? Let's just rest.

[ He doesn't trust himself to say anything else, not entirely sure he actually could say something that makes sense. So, he nods instead. Numb, hurt, disgusted that he's done this because he can't cope. Can't handle it.

Bells doesn't move though. Just stands there and stares down between them, like he's ready to wake up from this very bad dream. ]

It's gonna be okay.

[It's not. He knew this was going to be dangerous, they are dangerous, bringing together two worlds that aren't supposed to touch. But he wanted to try so badly--and despite everything, he doesn't regret it.

Bells saved his life, after all. He can't forget something like that. But they're both in too much pain to sort anything out right now.

Come on. [Lying down is a very good idea. At least it'll get them out of the kitchen area, which is starting to seem unfriendly.]

[ Bells knows that, once he lies down, he isn't going to want to get back up again, but he's come to a point now where it doesn't even matter. He'll listen to Kurt because it's Kurt. Because he loves him and he hurt him and that's just not something that's supposed to happen.

He feels empty, running on automatic even as he grips at the hem of his shirt like he's ready to go wherever he leads without protest. ]


Yeah, sure. Let's go. [ It doesn't even sound like him talking. He hates this. ]
