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.

[Leliana almost missed seeing the cute rabbit, with all that smoke in the air. She frowned at the man but moved closer anyway, coughing just a little bit at the sick smell.]

The smoke can't be good for that adorable animal.
handelaar: (um no)

oh gosh poke me if I accidentally switch tenses halfway

[Annnd cue his expression falling into something completely unamused.]

He's got a name.

Oh good, I would hate for a pet to go without a name. So what is it?

He's -

[He snapped his mouth shut, twisted it a bit - wanted to shift in place but maybe half of that was irritation. But while saying he's not just a pet in this place might not sound crazy, it might also lead to a lot of conclusions that weren't true.]

His name's Lodewijk.

[Leliana was more amused by the man's irritation, rather than put off by it, so she stayed. The smoke was bothersome, but the animal was just so cute.]

Lodewijk?

[She sounded out the name, though her own accent was still mixed in with it, it wasn't as much as one would expect. She'd had practice pronouncing names and words by simply hearing them before, so she didn't actually butcher the name.

She crouched down, getting more on eye level with the rabbit and rather than look at the man, she looked straight at the rabbit.]


Well, Lodewijk, you must have some really strong lungs to be okay with all this. Or you are just used to it. Oh, but you're so adorable! You are the dearest thing here, I think.

[She seemed to not even acknowledge the man's presence when she was talking to the rabbit.]
