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.

[YEAH

YEAH SEE? Wheatley looks very pleased with himself for having picked up on this.
]

See? You'll be fine, the both of you. You're different enough. I didn't think he was you.
andblockbuster: (I thought you were dead.)

[Well, that sort of means something to him, since... it's Wheatley. He's not human. All humans probably look vaguely similar to him, much less the ones who actually do look like twinsies.]

I guess that's... something, anyway. [He slouches in his chair.] I probably should have guessed this wouldn't be as cool as expected. I imprinted someone with my personality once and it wasn't as cool as expected. ...Okay, it was, but it got old really, really fast.

[WOAH DUDE UR

robo racism is showin

Not that Wheatley detects it, of course. He continues to look rather casual about the whole thing--as long as the facetwin business isn't happening to him, he's got no reason to be concerned.
]

You did mention that. [He gives an exaggerated shudder.]

Don't know how you did that, honestly. Exact duplicates. Euch.
andblockbuster: (They just murdered Val Kilmer.)

[SOMETIMES... IT JUST SLIPS. But he's smart enough not to say anything about it. And also probably thinks it's a totally valid fact that should not be considered offensive.]

It helped that I was on the other side of the country and we were only ever talking over the phone. Once we were in the same room, it got weird. [A beat.] The point is...

[DID HE EVEN HAVE A POINT TO ANY OF THIS?

...He sure didn't.]
I... actually don't know what the point is. Huh.
testgasm: (euhehehehehe)

[Are you ready for something very unexpected

are you

Wheatley raises his hand, and after a bit of hesitation and a few false starts, he gives Topher exactly one (1) clap on the shoulder, removing his hand as quickly as he put it there and proceeding to wipe it on his pants.
]

There is no point. But that's--that's okay. It'll all get sorted out, you'll see.
andblockbuster: (I'll tell Seth Green's story.)

[personal profile] andblockbuster 2013-04-26 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Topher turns his head slowly. Did that happen? Did that- it totally happened. And he is amused by it, because awww.]

Yeah. No different from any other weird thing around here. [He acknowledges Nill's existence again. Because he can.] Sorry about your cookies, BTW. On behalf of my drug-addled twin.
testgasm: (TESTING!!)

[personal profile] testgasm 2013-04-27 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
[It totally just happened, but Wheatley is going to pretend like it didn't.]

Well, uh, I didn't bake them, so it's not really--not really any skin off my back.

[Ate some, yes. Baked them? No.]
