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.

[ She smiles and nudges him. Teasingly: ] I only hope you have been better company for Renly.
floridity: (no. john hughes did NOT direct my life.)

[That catches him by surprise, and he flushes a little.]

... He certainly hasn't complained.

[ Her grin widens at that. ] From what I hear, he has no reason to.
floridity: (sorry that people are jealous of me.)

[And he can't help a little grin in return.]

Naturally. You know how seriously I take my responsibilities.

[ It's good to see him smiling again. ] Speaking of responsibilities and Baratheons...I've no idea how to handle multiple husbands.

[ Let's just hope Joffrey stays dead. ]
floridity: (the first time i went through 2nd grade.)

[You know, most people don't have these problems. And it's so absurd that he almost has to laugh.]

That does complicate matters. Though I doubt that anyone would know the proper etiquette for this situation.

[ suddenly serious: ] Well, I'll allow you to have one, if you like. [ and her smile cracks a little. ] I know you're fond of Joffrey.
floridity: (Too gay to function?)

[Flutters his eyelashes, a hand on his heart.]

At last, all my dreams are coming true.

[ and she laughs, loudly and sincerely. ] Do try not to faint, though. It would be terribly unseemly.
floridity: (that is so fetch!)

[personal profile] floridity 2013-05-15 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I make no promises.

[ She laughs again. ] I missed you, and I'm glad — glad that we're here together now.

And I am thankful for it. I would not have wished this place on you, but... I did miss you terribly.
