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.

Consider this your warning. Go away.

Why! I haven't even done anything, I'm just talking to you--

And now I'd like you to stop. Immediately.

[personal profile] doggedly 2013-05-10 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Right, but why. 'Cos, as I said, I've been nothing but friendly to you, so viciously demanding that I leave you alone comes off as sort of weird, to say the least.

It doesn't matter and I don't care how I come off.

[He studies her a moment--and then folds his arms over his chest.]

I dunno about that.

'Course you care how you come off, or else you wouldn't be so snarky with me right now.

[personal profile] nonsomno 2013-05-10 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not being snarky, I'm trying to get you away from me!

[personal profile] doggedly 2013-05-10 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
But I haven't even done anything to you yet, I'm just talking! Even if you didn't want me to talk to you, you might have communicated that in a different way, y'know. This way only makes me want to hang around.

Do you somehow get off on annoying people?

[personal profile] doggedly 2013-05-10 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
D'you somehow have a problem with people innocently talking to you?
nonsomno: (pic#2380630)

[personal profile] nonsomno 2013-05-10 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I do when they're annoying little idiots.
doggedly: (pic#3067301)

[personal profile] doggedly 2013-05-11 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I really don't appreciate that. I've been nothing but perfectly friendly and nice to you, and you're dismissing me as an annoying little idiot for no reason at all. Not that I can see, anyways.

Really irritates me.

[And he smirks. Because you won't like him when he's irritated.]

[She raises an eyebrow. She doesn't like you now.]

I'll live with the guilt.
