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.

[ Jack doesn't move any closer. Maybe it's because he sees the harsh, defensive, threatening look in her eyes, or maybe it's out of common decency or maybe sentimentality to Anna Maria. Either way, he stays where he is, raising both of his hands, palms outward. ]

Me name's Jack, luv. Jack Sparrow.

[ And if he's searching her face for any signs - any sign at all - of recognition then, well, can you blame him?

[She doesn't relax, per se, but she looks less suspicious.]

And you say you know me under another name. How?

[ Allow him to counter your question with another question. ]

This be your first time here, luv?

Talia. . . . but yes. It is.

This place, luv, this ship. It does things. It messes with your mind. An' the first thing it does, is bring different people from different places.

[ Jack had been gesturing throughout his whole explanation, because he's Jack Sparrow and he talks with his hands. But now, he gestures at her. ]

You might be Talia [ See, he knows your name. ] ...but you look exactly like me Anna Maria. An' it's not the first time this's happened t'me.

[She hesitates for a long few seconds.]

What-- a third person with my name? Or some other set of people?

[ He shakes his head. ]

Other people. Someone on this ship looks exactly like William Turner.

[ William Turner? The stupid lad who risked everything for a woman. He'd shared a ship with Anna Maria, briefly, and he continues to search her face for recognition. ]
