eighteenth 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.

[Mike is a bigger guy than most, built and standing at 6'2" making him an imposing figure. It helps when he's taking down bad guys, but not when he's trying to keep an eye on someone much smaller than him. He picks out Frodo early, his mind wondering what the hell a kid's doing in a space-ship surrounded by adults that could possibly hurt him, but in all the fray of needing to get to the medbay to get patched up and learning about space, Mike loses him in the crowd.

As luck would have it, he walks right into Frodo almost as much as Frodo walks into him and Mike almost immediately kneels down on one knee when he realizes he bumped the person he was trying to find.

Sorry. You okay, kid?

[ the size of the big person, ( most of them are ) is enough to rattle him, sending him stumbling backwards onto his rear and tangling within his cloak. it takes a moment, winded as he is, for frodo to glance at the speaker.

he replies with a man's voice, albeit a young one's, still a bit rattled, but politely spoken: ]


Yes, yes -- I'm alright. Though I think the fault lies with me, I wasn't quite looking where I was going.

[ pulling out his cloak from under him, frodo rises to his feet, and there aren't many inches to rise to. ]

[Honestly, Mike's a bit startled by the sound of the other's voice on its own. He'd expected something much younger for who he'd assumed to be a child. Still, taking in the full sight of the not-kid, Mike finds himself more than a little confused. Who wore cloaks like that anymore?

He also stares for an unhealthy amount of time.
]

Uh. [Okay, brain reconnecting to the mouth.] No, I shouldn't'a been hauling ass in a crowded hallway.

[Mike still doesn't stand, but he's not that far below Frodo's eye-level. He offers a hand.] Name's Mike Banning.

No, no it's alright. Truly. I wasn't looking at all. At least half the blame belongs to me at the least.

[ polite to a fault, as ever. frodo offers a small smile, peering at the hand and mentally reminding himself that no, he isn't reaching for the chain, just his hand. a small hand takes it in kind, slowly but surely. ]

And mine is Frodo Baggins. A pleasure, Mike, despite our means of meeting.
