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.

That you shall let me walk with you. Such would solve two matters; you would be more acquainted with our tranquility than you are now and I shall have charming company for my walk. jumps always find me dizzy and unwell and I found that walking helps.

then!

[ she smiles, inclines her head. ]

are we in agreement?

You are too gracious. [ a bright smile right back. ] I cannot think of a better way to spend my time.

[ she offers a slight bow. ] I am Margaery Tyrell. Mayhaps you know my brother Loras, though he has not been here long, either. [ and she imagines he has occupied the entirety of his time with someone else. ]

Margaery la bella, they would name you in my city. I am Lucrezia Borgia of Rome and though we have not met, now I shall demand that you will introduce us. It must be a comfort, having a brother here.

[ and then she offers her an arm. ]

I shall not be a lady but act s a gallant knight for you today. You must see the gardens! They are much prettier than the rest of this ship.

[ teasingly: ] Well met, Ser Lucrezia.

I thought Loras my truest, most gallant knight, but you may surpass him; it seems. [ she loops her arm through Lucrezia's with a luminous smile. ] I did not even mention that I hail from Highgarden, yet you knew what I would most want to see.

Perhaps I have magic and I can see into your mind!

[ but she is all loveliness and warmth so Lucrezia assumes she is like her and if she is like her, she would enjoy a garden rather than all this metal. ]

Highgarden! Is it truly in the mountains, high above the valleys and your land? You must tell me of it, it sounds wonderful.

[ she laughs easily, because this is what magaery missed most in her time away, in her time locked and hidden. she missed family, servants, friends. she missed idle chatter and ridiculous japes and home. ]

Parts of it, truly. It is the most beautiful place in all the realm! The castle itself is a garden throughout, with its hanging groves and high towers, loftier than any other. All through the grounds, there are tall hedges, ornate fountains, shady courtyards, exotic flowers, marble colonnades — words do not, cannot do it justice.

I hope some have tired, at the very least. That poets have came to look upon its beauty and fit their best words to it. to write beautiful verse to describe the castle. poets with words and painters with brushes and colors. many did so for my rome, the city all roads lead to.
